didn't really do anything to this except made the v-fin entirely gold,since i'm gonna display it as the novel version.lets start with the OVA version shall we?

this was a pain in the ass to mask
novel version
overall not a bad kit,i wished bandai could have gone with clear orange though,not gold,gold is for strike freedom
took forever(internet was being a bitch and i was lazy ^^;) but here he is ;3 ,sorry if the amount of pictures aren't verymuch lol,didn't want to make this kit loose by posing it too much.lets start with rx-78 himself before we move to forever.

action poses
shaded the beam saber a little,this was when i started playing with flourecent paints :3
comparisons with original hguc rx-78
i love the retro proportions of the original but the g30th is just so much better.
oh and you won't be seeing the original anytime soon,he has some weapons missing,but he might show up for comparisons :)
time to move on to the next section of this post,which is forever gundam.
front shot
back shot
since the real type colour scheme has alot black,i used black as a base for the rest of the colours to bring out the shading.
tried to replicate the box art,failed a little though
random close up,just showing of the battle damage and pistons ^^;
the nicest action i could get him in,most probably the only action pose he's gonna be in lol
random zoom ins
as you can see i didn't fill in those god damned seam lines
in conclusion i think the forever gundam is worth 2000 yen,1500 yen could be better for this though lol,i got this for free so i won't really complain about it.
