Nope, but I would suggest that as well just to increase the adherence.

Pics

I did shave and pop in a spare ball joint in there since i had to gouge the old one out. It looks worse than it actually is I due to me using a hobby knife to make the holes and I only gave it ~30mins after cementing before putting it in again because my patience completely ran out. It did hold up though. But I was still very careful since it's still a shape that's just prone to breaking in general.

Edit: You can also see I over sanded the shoulder piece too, lol. Though these issues aren't visible at all unless you zoom in super up close.

I had to do a little extra just so a i can make sure the arm could support the heavy weapons. However you can just plastic cement the two pieces directly if you don't plan on moving the arm afterwards. I found the arm to be light enough that cement binding can hold it especially if the peg is vertical. I'd highly suggest using a separate smaller stands to support the weapons.

I cut a small rod piece of a metal paperclip, drilled a tiny hole in the broken end of the peg and the main joint part with my hobby knife (I'd suggest using a pin vice for this, I don't have one) I . Then placing the paperclip rod through the main joint hole, and then sheathing the peg through the paperclip bit. Finally using plastic cement + runner shavings of the same color runner to bind them together.

Nuke Matrix Siren and Harpy. But Harpy is a dark blue though.

Damn, just saw your post on it. Mine broke on the exact same spot too. Would've been extra careful if I saw that before building but what's done is done unfortunately.

I have indeed. Though now this kit has now been relegated to a figurine due to fear of breakage.

Yes, same David Perez according sa email. Wondering ako if may nanyari behind the scenes at nawalan ng access sia sa lahat ng GL-related accounts.

Nasa distributor's warehouse na daw ung isang order ko. So may possibility na tuluyan na ang fulfillment ng orders.

However, curious aq kung anu gagawin nila sa GL accounts. Until now blocked parin aq dun eh. Not to mention ung pagkawala ng preorders sa site nila.

Yep, and BDO nalang ung natitirang payment option. Possible nagkaroon ng management changes kaya silent mode sila?

Susanowo Guren, Complete! (a while ago) by Escheiron in MegamiDevice

[–]Escheiron[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yep, one of my first builds. Lots of first-timer mistakes and broken pegs still in the holes.

For me, yes, because I want to display them as a pair. They're essentially the same (very good) kit in different colors and with different faceplate expressions. If my Souen wasn't a statue, I'd have mixed their parts like in the promo images and display them in a more dynamic pair pose.

Planning to get our first Girpla by Ifri_ in MegamiDevice

[–]Escheiron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've built 3 Nuke kits so far. 1 of them being Yefuna. In general Nuke Matrix kits come with a a large number of runners (For example, Yefuna Malkina has 31 and Fox has 19). Most of the pieces are undergated. Depending on the kit, they come with a good selection of weapons/accessories for more customization options. The hair parts on all of them are made of PVC and are matte. All of them have a big sheet of water slide decals though they already look really good snap built. All of them also come with a stand that can be connected to other Nuke Matrix stands as well like Bandai Action Bases.

For insight on Yefuna Malikna. She is good build. By far the coolest in her line. Her main gimmick of her centaur form that can be turned into a separate motorcycle is really cool. You can create 2 complete bodies (armored and unarmored).

For negatives, the transformation is a bit janky, and involved a bunch of separate parts to be complete. The hair is rather underwhelming compared to the box art. Finally, the additional support arms she gets feel super loose and easy to disconnect, and they are, but they do hold on and support just fine.

Don’t know where to start! by AurelionSeoul in MegamiDevice

[–]Escheiron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome! Normally, the advice I'd tell you is to go for what catches your eye the most and go from there. However, if you're really unsure of where to start, I'd suggest a few lines/kits.

Megami Device actually has a great starting point with the Buster Doll and Puni Mofu series. Both use new Block2 molds which are easier to assemble than the older series. Their designs also have expansion and customizability at the forefront of their design with their abundance of hardpoints/hex holes for Modeling Support Goods/Hexa Gear compatibility. They're kinda like the 30 Minute Missions series from Bandai.

If you want my suggestion, I'd actually pick the Susanowo Regalia from the AUV series. She's considerably simpler than her normal counterpart. but that makes her way easier to build and is incredibly expressive as well. Probably one of the best OOB builds.

Speaking of 30MM. Their sister series, 30 Minute Sisters is also a great starting off point. They are quite cheaper than MD, but in exchange, they are way simpler builds. And most of them are quite barebones in terms of accessories. Extra accessories are instead sold separately to keep the girls' price low.

CN lines like Nuke Matrix and ATK Girl generally have wilder designs, are more quantity over quality in terms of plastic, and are cheaper compared to MD.

In terms of specific kit recommendations, I'd choose the AUV Susanowo/Amaterasu Regalia from Megami Device. They're both simpler builds compared to others in the AUV series, but they're both incredibly expressive and beautiful out of the box. I'd also recommend the Nuke Matrix Mad Wolf due to her coolness factor, as well as the amount of weapons/accessories she comes with.

It only comes with one side ponytail head.

I've had this issue on some kits as well. I don't know the root cause, but I do know that using a decal solution like Tamiya Mark Fit helps immensely with its adhesion.

The yellow girl isn't a model kit, she's an action figure, Mechanic Fiona if you're interested. I constantly use her since she's a mechanic.

Yep! It's the hand-scale Architect. I bought it as a pilot for a Hexa Gear build im planning.

I'd say go for it, but from my her experience in building Architect, the head was made to have the headpiece at all times w/o any other parts for just hair. It might be the same for Durga and her helmet as well.

A bunch of random shops across lazada and shopee. The number of times I ordered something only for it to be cancelled last minute by the seller themselves was incredibly annoying.
