My first 1/100 gundam

Posted by wannbe17 

Yay! It took me 1 and a half frickin days to get this thing done! Did the panel lining and markers. Although there were slight problems such as putting together the ball and socket joints for the legs. Man those joints where a pain! The right ball and socket got broken but luckily, I brought 2 Astreas for a fail-safe model kit building! They require trimming and gluing (optional) factory defect or perhaps inexperience-ness. Well anyways I did enjoyed building it despite the frustations....

    -Are you missing 2 armors on the heels, because it looks like it...
    -Yeah, the hip joints are pretty annoying, but you just have to make sure the polycap's in properly, then apply some pressure to close the joint up good.
    -if you bought 2 of them, don't you think it'd look nicer if it was dual wielding either the swords or the bazookas?

      Well dual weilding sounds good. But I prefer to save some money for paint and add Nu gundam color scheme to this bad boy. I did applied pressure but whenever I do the just dont work out for me. I hope triming a little bit and gluing a little bit although I never did on the "extra" part, is not a bad thing. Holy smokes your'e right! I do miss one part! XD

    congrats on your first 1/100 ^_^
    Though I think next time you should just buy 1, so you can build more carefully ^_^
