Progress has been steady for the HGUC Xi Gundam build this week. My usual build order is from the top to bottom, starting with the head, torso, and arm units.

Given how short the series is and the GQuuuuuuX … Continue reading Back to the QuuuuuuX: HG GQuuuuuuX [Endymion Unit Activated] – Work in Progress #1
