This is the first PG kit I've ever built and also the first kit I did panel lines on. I think it turned out ok, I'm happy with it. Pics below: More pics to come tonight

Did you do the gold details on the forehead ornament and shoulder armor, or do the new WZC kits come with gold? On mine they are yellow.
How did the torso joints come out on yours?

joints came out awsome, i made em tight enough to hold it but it's loose enough to pose to whatever you want i painted the yellow parts gold... it's a much brighter gold in real life but it looks alot better then the cartoony yellow also just to let you know the model is really dusty as i've had it for around a year and only got my digital camera right now more pics:

You were lucky (or skilled) with the frame. On mine I left the torso joints tightened enough to feel right when the thing was detatched, but I didn't account for the weight and leverage of the arms and those heavy wings. As a result, mine is too floppy in the middle, and disassembling the whole thing to fix it is just out of the question. Too bad. It spoils an otherwise neat figure. Glad yours came out OK.

yeah i did a bit of research on the model and building and made sure to get that part right if you attach the buster rifle to the model and lean it out a bit like mine it evens out the weight from the wings and keep the model very stable thanks for the comments

Wow, that looks pretty nice.. little touches here and there made it look great. I love the clean look.
Have you though about putting some decals? Perhaps the 1/100 versions would work?

i don't like decals much, the only ones i've seen i like are the ones that some with the PG Strike... they look like a bunch of logo stamps or something... weird but look really cool when applied note: i returnted the camera i took the pictures with a got a another one, heres an updated shot, it shows some better color kinda i'll have to re-snap a few more pictures in proper lightning of the model and hopfully i can post better pictures later
