And I did remove the seams? If you’re referring to the mold lines yea it’s probably still visible after trying to sand them off. It’s quite difficult to get rid of them completely since the parts are molded in a rubbery plastic.
Hammerknight’s interior is now painted! Since the fit is a bit tight, the finished kit will be fixed in the open position as opening it is scratching some of the paint off….
Some more work recently. I’m about quarter the way through with the Carbon Fibre decals from Studio27 and doing some work on the steering wheel. The effect is to get a nice suede look which the drivers back then used for steering grip. Brake ducting finish and added with the engine.
I have a couple of varying cans off undercoat. Thin, Thick etc. The steering wheel I used the thick PPG auto undercoat I just spray a little bit so it dribbles over the nozzle, dry and then go at it full spray. The effect splatters the undercoat thickly. I dip it in a fine grain sand, dry and then TS-29

Legs almost done construction wise.
The armor parts can open and close, the knee guard and the ankle guard can move up and down.
Now it’s time to make new feet.
For some reason, the Gouf hands are mounted using a peg into a polycap, rather than a ball joint. I want to replace them with some other HG hands, since the Gouf hands are…
Taking in consideration Moldrunner’s comment on my last update, I’m showing a sketch I did for my Silver Blaze.
There are some parts with almost no details, but that’s because I haven’t decided how the panel lines and option parts will be yet.
The legs might look a bit weird, because I just drew one side, copied and inverted it to be symmetrical.
I didn’t do any wash yet. I still need to finish the shoulder joints. They have a base coat and a darker color in the folds and a lighter color on the peaks of the folds. Still need to touch them up.
The MS-06V is painted and fully assembled (glued together) although the arms, shields and head are detachable due to the balljoints I added to those sections. I decided to…
