With MCO in action, I finally got time to build this bad boy. I think I bought the kit like 3 years ago or something. Lol

Love how it looks but my unit stupid spring connector at the leg putus. I cement it back, the moment reinstall the spring then broken again. Now have to use superglue (spring & connector) and cement (multiple pipe unit) to hold it.

Yeah the spring thing is a bit tricky. Mine also kinda bent a little because I used excessive force to make it connect with the plastic connector. I think it got flung over on the floor once and my god I think I spent around 20 minutes looking for that tiny plastic.

Eva-01 is such a fine piece of art. You can basically put it into any pose and it will look cool anyway.

Hi All,
I'm quite new to gunpla. Just picked up this hobby since Corona Lockdown started.
Looking for a Ver Ka as my next kit. Can I have some suggestions if y'all don't mind?

I don't mind if it is more complex or time consuming. Just would like one kit that does not have parts falling off when playing with it.
Or is that a wrong mindset to have, please don't hold back. Let me know!

Thank you thank you thumbup.gif

If you want complexity while on a budget, go for RG kits. Not very poseable though, sometimes I moved the legs but the arms fell off laugh.gif . Mine was early RG kits though, I heard newer kits have improved on this.

If got cleavage, show 'em. Like the famous GunplaMeli. If don't have cleavage then good luck to you.

Apology if this has been asked or discussed before. Just wanna ask for opinion on panel lining. I've tried both Gundam Marker gm01(those fine tip) and Tamiya Panel Accent on my experimental sd kit. Needless to say, panel accent is definitely easier to use and it does give a 'cleaner' result. But i have read about panel accent might cause cracks on unpainted kit.
My question, what's the reason for the crack, so that i can avoid it. I also read about doing the panel line while the kit is still on the runner to avoid the crack.
Any opinion is greatly appreciated. My apology again, still very new to gunpla, especially when it comes to detailing
*
Yeah I've definitely read about it too, I remember the dude said the crack may happen if you put too much of the panel accent liner on the surface, as it causes the plastic to become brittle. So far I've never experienced it myself, so I guess you don't really need to worry about that. Just apply the liner moderately.
