Weekend update. I got a good amount of work done towards the end of last week, and a little work over the build gathering. Since I'm letting the clear gloss cure on the first Nu, I got to work sanding the second Nu. Additionally, since the second Nu was toyed around with and just lying around on my work bench while I was working on the first Nu, the parts needed to be soaked in the purple cleaner and then rinsed to remove all the oils, dust, and other environmental contaminants off it. The hobby knife and some coarse grit sand paper went to work on roughing up the kit, adding scratches, dents, dings, and blast marks. Here's the shield:

Next, I did the wire wrapping on the tubes behind the knees. However, for more contrast against the first Nu, I went with a high guage magnet wire. The following picture is a comparison: Spoiler:
And I'm almost done with the painting. Learning my lesson from the first Nu, I painted the indented parts first, masked, then painted the main colors. Spoiler:
There is still a small amount of painting work left on the Nu before I can get it gloss coated and I should be able to get to the decaling for both kits later on this week.... More pictures of the project: http://www.gamerabaenre.com/hguc_nu_prog.htm
