Seven hours, nearly eight, really. That's how long it took me to complete the build on my very first Gunpla.
What are Gunpla and Gundam?
This is my first, and probably only, mono-eye model, considering most of them do not have as good articulation, or their accessories are incomplete or do not fit will. If there is one thing you can say about the Blue Giant, it is that it has great articulation for something so bulky, and its accessories fit it to a tee.
This one took me between 4.5 and 5 hours to build, partly because I was painting as I went. I used silver marker under the clear blue pieces, and of course I painted the sword and end of the scabbard. I would have used black marker instead of the stickers for the shoulders and ankles, but mine don't stay well if you're going to touch it often.
