Total time allocated on this kit: 61+ hours

Thoughts:
Although this kit isn't from the same exact series as the MG Sengoku Astray I wanted a similar color scheme (chrome red & chrome blue).
I guess my weak areas with building are not taking enough time to thoroughly sand down and patch areas (putty) that could easily be noticeable at the end of a project.
Mr. Color Clear Orange... I don't know why but I found this color extremely difficult to work with especially trying to thin it out to a good consistency. At times it was too thick (spider webbing) and other times it was too thin (where it would eat away at the chrome underneath). 
Note to self... a bottle of Mr. Retarder would help for next time.
