Stage 1

Assembly started without too much trouble. I have cemented the head pieces together in an attempt to remove the seam lines. I didn't use enough glue and there is still a noticeable seam, so I may have to crack open the putty to fill it completely.

Here's the torso. I haven't completely snapped everything together, but rather have kept it loose so it is easy to remove to prepare for painting and whatnot. Here you can see a little piece of plastic that I have cemented onto the front of the chest. This will be painted with the torso to give it more depth.

These pieces will all be put on the back of the mech once painting is finished.
So far so good. I have almost finished assembling the legs and will start panel lining.
