It turns out the Barzam's weird design means that it doesn't break down into easy to paint sub assemblies

Usually building a Gunpla makes me like that suit even more, as I see all the little details. Bu in this case seeing all the details made me hate the Barzam even more. Where are there so many flaps on the legs? What is the point of the wrists being articulated to turn in slightly?

I am abandoning that foolish project, and have purchased a much better Gundam

The wrists turn inwards because the beam sabers are stored in the forearms. They're just not the beam sabers you can put in his hands because of scale issues...

I've never gunpla'd before but I wanted to share.



Found this at the salvation army for 6$. Ho hum right. Nope, 1999 made in Japan. Cool. A 19 year old japanese toy for only 6$.

It even came in the original plastic


Also came with a mini manga



And some sort of mailing letter or club


Google tells me this might be worth like 50$ on eBay but idgaf, it's my first gundam

It's Vallejo model air 72.755 polished gold. It is indeed very good looking.

It's super thin however and needs a good 6 or 7 layers over a nice solid black.

I finally put this tip to work:



I tried game colour polished gold first and it was real bad hand painting it on, this game air paint is a million times better.
