Making plans and building a giant robot

i'm really enjoying the planning for this, my first custom build, and creating a little narrative in my head to fit it into the universe, i like to imagine it's a custom, newly built RX-178 used by the AEUG to hunt down titans leadership to end the war quicker, and i'm going to be sticking a load of thrusters and fuel tanks, as well as some other bits on, and repainting dark blue to green

My aim so far is to emulate the backpack style or the jegan by adding an extra large thruster cone on the back, as well as fuel tanks, and add thrusters to the backs of the calves as in the Nemo, make it look high mobility, basically bringing over elements from some of my favourite units

i'm also going to paint the inside of all thrusters and verniers in red, both existing and added ones, which i hope should really make them stand out

Other than physical part modding, these armour panels need to be sanded, primed, and painted green, which should be interesting

I got some nice fine brushes for painting and my sister was really thoughtful and grabbed me some makeup sponges after hearing I needed some for this
