RG 1/144 RX-78-2 Gundam

This is the first RG and the first snap-fit only kit that I've done.  The purpose of this build is to see how far can a snap-fit Gundam kit to go.  It is also a good opportunity to learn new thing as well, such as applying shading by using only Real Touch Marker produced by Mr Hobby.

The time taken to finish building this snap-fit only kit and shading with Real Touch Marker is about 1 month.  It is not a easy process indeed because the sanding of the parting line, and the nib mark have to be done carefully to avoid any obvious sanding mark.  The other thing that's taking it such a long time to do is because of the tremendous detail on this kit, which have caused me to use about 4 Real Touch Marker blender just to blend the marker into the body to create the shading effect.  However, it is not that easy to do but it is achievable with patience.
