    Hello there,
    I got this big all champ Prime from greece, and i started working on him.

    I used spray paints for the panels and front windshield.
    I used 1/60 articulated Gundam hands
    I used wheathering powder for the body and head.
    I took out the stupid gimmick on Prime's back.
    The led light is working too

    Have a great day

    The hands dont come with ball-joint. i used parts from my Gundams to make a way to connect it.

    I definitely like the add on hands. Can you give an explanation on the process? I'd like to try to do this with mine.
