OOOH AN Update! Pic heavy

Hi All,
I completed the Argama build and have a few photos for you from the build. Info on the series can be found here http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/index.htm , Select Gundam ZZ series and scroll down to the Argama class.

Now without further ado:
My tools of the trade. A plastic cutter from Gamesworkshop and a set of hobby blades that I got for like €3.
Ah, the box. Nice picture of the model itself on the front. Nice pictures along the side too.

All the sprues in their bags, all wanting to be released!!!!
All the sprues, released and ready...
Forward section complete.
Rear section complete, nice detail for the engine.
The completed model.
Front and rear view
Two of the same! The first is the model in its cruising mode, the second is in combat mode.

Overall, its a lovely model. the chrome shine on the plastic really catches the eye. Also the choice of two modes, easily changeable is a nice feature. I would have liked a decal or two, especially for the stand, that would really make it jump out at you. The engines are metal so add a bit of weight to the model that makes it feel solid in your hands.
A quick note on the instructions - they're in Japanese, but the step-by-step is shown in clear and easy to follow pictures.
Thanks for looking, hope you enjoyed looking as much as I did building!
