MG# 90 GAT-X105 Strike Gundam＋I.W.S.P. (製作過程 Part 2)

Second week of the Strike assembling.  Gone through a few milestones!

Nails: added two big ones on each ankle and a small one on the side of the waist.

The ankles nails:
Drill small holes on the ankle plates and the back of the nails.  Make centre core with the parts frames (heat up then pull).

Again, silver under paint then Gundam white.

I think it's okay...  Hopefully it's not superfluous... (畫蛇添足)

The nails around the waist

And the nails in the arms

Then, the most challenging part: wiring to the display stand!

Drill small holes to run wires through the display stand's connector:

I use 2 small plates of copper connectors on the bottom back of the Strike and solder the wires with tin (錫線) on the stand's connector:

Finally, solder the wires to the copper connectors:

Testing:

It works!!!

Other random pics during the assembly:

Wires are all hidden!
