bro  hmm.gif ..i've assembled one myself personally...and it worked just fine..maybe juz a bit non-fitting case of the male peg and female peg(less than 8%) but all that i solved it thru cutting the male peg (slunting direction) and make the female peg's hole slightly larger..and after that it fits in together nicely.. icon_rolleyes.gif
Cheers!!

hmm.gif ..why u said that? laugh.gif ..i cut the male peg like that bcoz normally when un-fit pegs happens the male peg have some access plastic at the tip...so,when i cut it by half n slunting (to remove the "fat" tip) and after putting in the parts, and still does not fit-in nicely, i can take it off back EASILY...for the female hole..i made it bigger so that it won't be a VIRGIN anymore laaa.... laugh.gif  laugh.gif  laugh.gif  laugh.gif ...jz kidding.. icon_rolleyes.gif  icon_rolleyes.gif  icon_rolleyes.gif

Ok, in order not to OT. I've tried to cut/shave the male part into 1/2, or slanting. It's very very difficult. Any special technique to this? Can just use nipper ah? Sometimes I'd too afraid to try. Afraid that I might screw up my kit.

Did they buy a lot a lot of Bandai's scaled injection machine models and reverse engineer them? laugh.gif

That is really an improvement, unless Kotobukiya's factory got hacked.

You think it's celup? I'm not sure, after seeing the Hi Nu Gundoom, which the scale was around 1/120?

^ they probably have access to the CAD files? The only thing is making the master mould perfect. Unlike Japanese, which are known for being perfectionists.
