Civilian Astray WIP
Hey guys, thought it about time I got back to my Gundam models and decided to continue with the Civilian Astray DSSD Custom. If you're looking for insane customisation, I'm afraid I don't do that as yet (if ever), and am just doing an OOB build with panel lining.
So earlier I managed to sort the annoying main thruster (I think) on the torso, and get the head done complete with panel lines. Torso's far from properly complete due to the vernier thrusters, but it's coming along.
One complication with the head, that irritated me to no end was the visor. As you can see in the picture, I don't have the visor in place. This isn't from not wanting to, but during the trimming stage of the clear plastic I managed to crack it. It's hard enough to clean the clear plastic up with a knife and file/sandpaper, but this piece just didn't want to play ball. So, against my will, I had to put that part aside and do the head without it. Luckily it looks good either way ^^
Anyone else had issues with parts like these? I find them almost as irritating as chrome plated parts, primarily due to the difficulties in cleaning them up with both a knife and sandpaper.
Let me know guys, always curious to see.
