I just finished building my first ever model kit (Fubuki Blast Guard from Kotobukiya)! It took me 20 hours and it's covered in nub marks and badly sanded parts but at least I did it
But god the posing on this kit is absolute dogshit. It keeps falling apart and putting weapons in the hands is horrible. The joints are also not strong enough to support the full equipment weight.
Still a great kit because it's Muv-Luv.
Any tips on improving the kit or my technique? I already know about panel lining and top coating, I'll do that soon-ish.
