Day 12 - Both arms done!

Same routine as a normal Winter Break 2015 day. Woke up, exercised, and built my gundam. Due to a self-diagnosis of chilblains on my toes, I've been trying to keep my feet warm. So far, my toes seem to be recovering, with a new recent case yesterday on my left 2nd toe. =/

Hopefully they'll recover fully soon!

Just head, backpack, weapons and stickers now!

Duration: 3 hrs (Total: 28 h 20 m)

Day 11 - One arm done

Went to go see Star Wars today. Well made in my opinion.

Worked on the arm today... took about 4 hours in all. Pretty much took up my entire today. I have to admit I feel rather fatigue from building this PG. Another factor could be due to the headache I have after watching Star Wars in 3D. I'm still not adjusted to watching 3D movies.


Duration: 4 hrs (Total: 25 h 20 m)

Day 10 - Time seems to just fly!

Didn't have time to build the arms today unfortunately.

I woke up, got a hair cut, went to work out, and then went out to eat.

And essentially... that was my entire day! I seriously have no idea where time went!

Day 9 - Waist and test

Spent approximately 4 hours today on the waist. The wiring was considerably easier than it looked in the instruction manual.

And it lights up so far! No major mistakes yet! *knock on wood*


One week of break left.

Duration 4 hours (Total: 21 h 20 m)

Day 8 - Finally finished legs

Took me about 3 and a half hours to finish building the leg and wiring it.

Wiring was, overall, shorter than the first leg. I had to redo it a couple times, however, since I kept mixing up the direction of the wires.

Other than that, it was a pretty relaxing boxing day. The gym was somewhat empty. My back is hurting from all the dead lifts I did today...


Duration: 3h 30 min (Total: 17 h 20 m)

Day 7 - Christmas

Merry Christmas to all! It was a very relaxing day in which I ate a lot and practically did nothing else.

The end of the year is near. It went by far quicker than 2014.

I'll resume my gundam building tomorrow!

Day 6 - Legs Day 3

Not much was built today. I finished the other foot. It took less time than the first foot. I spent approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes. 

Duration 1 h 20 min (Total time: 13 h 50 min)

Its hard to see, but I dunno why Bandai asks you to use a hard connector on one side and a soft connector on the other. Must be for joint rigidity or something... It makes it awfully hard to fit a circular peg into a hexagonal washer.
