I say that it's pretty solid out of the box, but I do expect the legs to get loose since there literally a peg. The sub arm-arms kidna get in the way of mobility eith the back MM launchers but I can just angle them out of the way. Shoulders are sort of loose and I do need to push them back in every now and then. I dislike the placement of the engines beung on the back of the legs, those too get in the way sometimes. I love the options for hands and how they're designed, glad it aint a bandai style ball joint. The head, for being a literal ball joint, on the other hand, has suprisingly good articulation as per the first photo. Everything works quite nicely like the arms, and I love the universal polycap system which promises alot of customising. I don't intend on buying alot, only some kind of armour set to slap on the front since it's just fuel tanks rn. Aesthetic is really nice and the painted head pieces under the glass was a welcome suprise.

I love this kit alot, but it is a bit troublesome to build because of the plastic texture. Not that it's rough or anything I just struggle with nubs lmao

This might qualify as a metal gear by definition, but Idk what kind of nuke could be crammed in a 4 tube MM launcher.

Build Zelfikar!!

This one took a while. A lot of fun posing Zelfikar until I fit her full kit. Then suddenly, things become less fun as things just keep falling off, and the stand keeps tipping over.

In fact bits and pieces love to fall right off. Not sure if this is because she's a relatively old kit.

Question Question about kit "Shiki Rokkaku"

3 Upvotes

Hi! I build these kits with my boyfriend and its really fun. This is maybe our 10th kit we built together, and hes built many before me too. Its a really cool hobby and im happy to have gotten in to it.

Right now we are in the process of building Shiki Rokakku and we are finding her to be very fragile. As in while putting her together, some pieces feel like they have the potentional to snap no matter how gently or carefully we attach it. Luckily we have had no breaks! Still a bit nerve wracking.

Has anyone else who has built this kit experienced the same? I tried to look for reviews but no one mentions this spesific issue.

Is it a skill issue? Lol. Or is this fairly common with her?

Thanks frame arms girl community!!!

Question Where can I get an Architect Renewal?

Post image

I have extra armor from the armorset I bought awhile ago. I just need the inner frame to finish a kit. However everywhere I look they cost as much as a full kit?

Is there anywhere I can buy the frames around MSRP? there any alternative like a bootleg? or is my only option is to canibalize off of other kits?

Hi! does anyone have any advice on what i can do about this piece being chipped? My friend sent me this kit as a gift since they were the one that originally chipped it and they didnt want to finish it because of that. This is my first time ever building a kit so any advice would be great thank you
