SD Armored VF-1J Part4

Another minor update. Just want to show some micro steps over past few days. Nothing exciting.

I wanted to widen the feet. I glued the a styrene strip to the bottom of the foot. Then I glued the 2 halves together and fill the gap.
The styrene strip gives me fixed spacing along the foot.

Randomly added some bits and pieces as inner mechanical details

Again, I wanted to widen the lower half of the leg. I glued 2x 0.75mm strip near the bottom area, and a 0.5 plate near the top area.
Then I glued the pieces together and fill the gaps.

Check out those legs :)

I found the thigh-to-crotch joints are a bit weak. Need to strengthen it somehow. Moving onto the arms. Still got a very long way to go. I don't know if I can finish it on time for the contest
