HG Legend Gundam

1/144 HG Legend Gundam completed! An old kit which I got it cheap off another modeller. Stripped the paint off the kit and re-worked on it.

Snap-fitted kit (Image from Dalong.net). Proportions look quite weird, head too short, shoulder movement limited, thighs and lower legs too short. Whole kit looks short and stubby.
So I did quite a few modifications to the problematic areas:
- Increased neck height by 1mm
- Increased upper arm height by 1mm
- Re-worked shoulder joint to increase movement slightly
- Separated lower torso, increased height and added ball joint
- Extension of thigh area by 2mm
- Extension of lower leg region by 2mm
