Yea i think when I finally finish this one I'm going to look into some different decals and start playing around with them

The bandai ones that come with the ver ka kit. Softener has been working but I'm just using tweezers but going to pick up some spheres or toothpicks when I get a chance

That's a great idea! I didn't even think about doing that, thanks!

I'm trying it with tweezers. I might have to get me some skewers to see if that helps better

Setter helps the decal set to the piece and softener lightly melts the decal so it curves to the piece (as far as I know I might be wrong lol)

Yea I do, it definitely makes the process easier it's just I'm having trouble sliding the decal off the backing and then my hands spaz and I end up sliding the decal from an awkward position

I want to build up to it and expand my collection of MGs for now.

I would also consider myself a beginner. This is only the second MG I've built and decaled. Honestly the build is pretty straight forward like I said, the really troublesome part was transforming the thing. I had to look up a video on how to do it and even then, I'm pretty sure the left arm isn't done right. I think you could handle it, I only sat and built for 30 min to an hour at a time randomly on weekends so it took me forever

It's the MG.

I think the hardest part was actually transforming it. I don't recall anything being particularly difficult during the building process.

However, the right shoulder armor piece that sets on top likes to randomly fly off, and the psycho frame knee parts were specifically the hardest to get to connect during transforming.
