Duration: Hopefully by 1 week.

The Build Process:
After so many years absence from making Master Grade, I find this Gundam rather difficult to build. One needs to follow the instruction carefully especially the torso. No modification was made except sharpening its antenna.
1 mistake made was to cut all the parts from its tree and not keeping them in the order it was from. Lost 1 finger in the process... made a finger out of pla-plate. Spot the finger?
The Painting:
Painting this model was great! Every parts are separated for its colour. So clipping a part and you are ready to paint. Colours are pretty straightforward. White, blue, red and yellow. Only difference is using surfacer mixed with black. The results on white shading is pretty awesome! There are substantial number of parts to spray. But comparing to Dendrobium, this is much easier. Here are some pics:
Just look at the number of parts! Truly a Master Grade! Completed shading all these parts till 3am in the morning! Definitely going to paint my next model in installments...
The Final Product:
After a good rest, continued with the panel lining and decal-ling. The end results.
