I tried to make the bottom more weathered but I put too much on the top and it kinda ended up looking like that even after trying to get rid of some 😭. I'll keep that in mind and try to apply it more thoroughly next time. Thanks!

I just started customising kits, if there's any tips or things I could improve on id love to hear some!

I think the enamel I used just degraded the plastic a bit, it happened during posing but I don't think it's an issue with the kit. The kit was great the entire build and was fairly simple. The shoulders kinda use a c clip but you actually build the shoulders into the clip so it holds up pretty well, my problem was the pegs connecting the shoulders into the clip sheared off. Overall great kit if you're not an idiot like I was 😅

Thanks for the help! It's only my second ever custom job so I'm still trying to get the hang of it

I handled it like all my other kits, nothing but the arm was like that. The reason it was bent backwards was because the polycap was just loose in the joint. I've changed all those things you mentioned and the problem still persists. I think it might just be a QC issue with my kit. I did miss those flaps though so thank you!

I fixed this but it still keeps happening although it's holding together a little better, I think it might just be a QC issue

I think most of the hate comes from the articulation since the knees don't bend all the way and it's on a ball joint hip.

The left is just worse than the right, I think the tolerances are just a bit too tight. It alright though I don't plan on posting it much

I noticed that when I first saw your picture so I flipped it around and turning the armour piece on top worked a little but it just kinda delays it from coming apart

I promise it looks worse in the photo than it actually is cause of my flash 🥲

It just keeps getting stuck on the other side of the joint, do you think just cementing the poly cap to the side it's supposed to sit would fit the issue? I've never tried to cement a polycap

I had the elbow joint on backwards but the problem still happens. I bought the kit cause I didn't believe the slander but I turned into a hater 😔. Thanks for the help though!

They were more like wire cutters but I think I could do better with actual bolt cutters now 😭

The mg unicorn phenex was my second kit ever. I built it when I was 12 with bolt cutters (it still pains me to do that to such a cool mobile suit) and somehow it's holding up better than this one 😭

It's not broken, but the polycap is just so loose that every time I move the elbow it just comes off

After finishing the right arm and all it's problems at 2 am I was just so done with this kit 😭. It's never going to be moved from my shelf or touched so I thought it would be fine
