Gundam RG 1/144 - RGM-79 GM conversion - Head / Monitor WIP

Gundam RG 1/144 - RGM-79 GM conversion -  Head / Monitor WIP - 1
Already was working on this from the G.30th  HG conversion. Got what i think is the basic idea i had in my head modeled so far from converting the RGM-79[G] Gm Ground Type head or monitor into what i hope will be a better looking head than the somewhat none descript head that come with the HG GM gunpla.

Lots of the protrusions have been removed, the air intakes on the cheek, the small goatee on the chin and the guard that come out over the screen. Lots of putty and sanding.

Added a new month guard which i think needs to be more defined, looks like ive sanded off the sharp edges and left them looking to soft.

Vulcan in the forehead ive started, did 2 until i realised that one side was higher than the other so at the moment im waiting to putty and sand then start again hoping to be symmetrical.

Neck is too long, think i will adjust the inside on the head rather than cut up the inner frame.

I have spent quite some time on this and think there is till quite alot to do, fear the panel lining on this.

Highly anticipated RG GM! I have seen conversion kit from PG Gundam to GM on eBay but I think it's over my budget and beyond my capacity.
