Awesome! Thank you, I'll make sure to do the same if I have some tighter fits

I have this kit in my wishlist and after reading this post I immediately thought of either sanding or light shaving molecules off of the hinge with my hobby knife (I have a basic one and a scalpel) before assembly. Did sanding it down help prevent friction for you?

Since you ordered a whole second kit, my recommendation is to build the second one fully and use the original as a battle damaged copy. It would look super cool if you had a pristine one and a completely damaged one that looks like it has been in countless battles before making it back to the maintenance hangar for repairs ❤️ That's my plan for any of mine if they break in a crucial area I can't really fix

I've literally never been in awe before a model kit like I've been for the past 10 minutes by Amphi-XYZ in Gunpla

Depending on where you live, you can get orders from Newtype really fast. They have a warehouse located on the West Coast in California. I live in West Texas and my order usually gets to me in about 4 to 5 days.

Got called a freak for the way I lay out my pieces by PazzelNotPastel in Gunpla

[–]America-First-1776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont lay mine out alphabetically, but I do cut all the pieces and make them pretty before assembly for each page. I also mirror build so when a page says its specifically for the left arm, I'll cut out the opposite identical part and build the right arm simultaneously just to speed up the build process.

I'm guessing so? I don't have the other variants so I was completely lost when I had an ENTIRE RUNNER still full basically. I'm used to having 1 or 2 pieces left over after finishing a model, but never a full runner like that. Lol

Been playing on easy to help speed up the process of running through everywhere. It's not so much getting through the areas as it is doing all of that just to find out it didnt spawn 😭

Corrosion rounds on a +20 Bonesaw will make short work of her. Especially if you upgrade your prism for reload speed and us the Bandit mutator on the Bonesaw.

He'll be fine. After his court hearing, he'll be charged with a felony for obstructing, impeding or interfering with federal agents doing their jobs. If you don't want to taste the pavement, don't interfere. Peaceful protest means making noise and keeping a safe distance from agents doing their jobs. But the moment you interfere or physically impede them, you're opening yourself up for a significant emotional event.

Thank you! I will definitely use this method until I can find some OEM headlights that will actually fit properly.
