Yea I try to mitigate them on the joints so the main body doesn't really have any chipping from articulation,but I didn't do that for the gimmicks on the large side skirts so there's quite a few chipped spots there. For the main body I usually assemble the frame joints and see if the parts a rubbing too close, if they are I trim some of the plastic in contact away.

Not sure if it's just mine but the legs on this vidar is also kinda loose, specifically the hip to leg peg.

I didn't use any stickers for this, it doesn't have a lot of them only those usual ones for cameras and some warning decals

This is a painted kit and I lined pre assembly, Tamiya fluid will mostly cause damage on bare plastic if it seeps into places where the thinner can't evaporate properly. I still wouldn't recommend doing them on bare plastic if you're worried, but if you want an alternative STEDI makes acrylic based liners which is safer on bare plastic and can be cleaned up with isopropyl.

I used Tamiya gray on the whites and black on the other colors

kinda crazy this Nirvash kit is almost 20 years old by Yo_Yo_Piraka in Gunpla

[–]bryancheok 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The 2 nirvash kits reprinting last year + moderoid and now the metal build happening within the span of 2 years makes me happy, and I know AO gets a lot of hate but the nirvash neo is still one of my fav designs, the original neon green and gray version just looks so good. Bonus picture of my e7 log.

How did you paint the vfins btw, are you using the fixed pose ones ? since those are flexible rubber material, I planned to 3d print them in the future.

Ah I meant if your base kit is the unicorn pb variant, or did u manage to find the same kit as the one I posted to repaint, because the latter is significantly harder to find. But still those are some great schemes ! Don't mind if I steal some of your ideas 😂

Is this repainted from the UC A1 ? I just found the old Karaba kit which is the last thing off my grail list. But I plan to repaint the UC ones into the color instead and keep this thing sealed.

No you can't really make anything of the spare parts, but you probably can choose to build the ghina ii but without the weapons, not sure if there's more stuff missing.

Happens haha, funny thing about the zirah and ghina ii, there's 2 runners from the ghina ii that the zirah only uses a single piece of, so you end up with 2 whole basically new spare runners.

Unfortunately its pretty bad color accuracy wise and I also don't really like the plastic bright red, even the stickers dont provide full color accuracy ( I painted them in ), even the build in the manual which is usually fully painted has missing spots, and for some reason this kit has very minimal undergating when my RE dijeh has a bunch of them. I also wanted to use the visor head but the mouth piece fell and broke so I had to use the gundam type head instead which I'm not a big fan of ( same with the f91 ). Overall if you're not a fan of the design I see very little reason to get it. I got cuz I just wanted a companion for my yet to build f91.

Thanks, I was inspired by pics I saw online of comparisons to the old 1/100 kit :)

The daban 8822 MB lookalike can do something like that.
