Now the hands. You can see the are already assembled on the sprue. Which is nice because these multi jointed hands are a real pain I assemble. Metal Mech attached the following image(s):

Now for the head. Pain in the butt this was. Broke part of it but got fixed with good old super glue. Usually there is a decal for the eyes but because I am lighting them up the decal was left off Metal Mech attached the following image(s):

I think there is a version coming out for PS4 soon. There is also an anime about that called Build Fighters.

Time for the fin funnels. I did the red and blue in different patterns just to mix it up a bit. I also only completed half the red ones. Will get to those latter when I get them painted. Metal Mech attached the following image(s):

And with that the blue one is done except for weapons which I will do last. So up next are the HWS armor upgrades for the red one. Quick photo. There were only a hand full of parts to be painted red so I knocked those out real quick. Metal Mech attached the following image(s):

You have a lot of patience building these kits with all those parts.They remind me of Trumpeter kits that always have a crazy number of parts to glue together.
Great job so far.Looks like you are on the home straight now.

It can get stressful when your painting everything. If your just building straight it can be fun and relaxing to have all the parts. Like a 3-d possible puzzle. Ok on to the HWS chest armor. Metal Mech attached the following image(s):
