@joscasleLooking good!👍

Love it! Thanks for sharing. 👍

@SteveTheFish Wow that’s looking great! It’s cool the kit comes with a helmet and head option as well as glove and cannon arm. Super excited to see this one completed. Do you think it will stand on its own in those heels?

Finished up pinning and test fitting the 1/72 Baga. I gloved up for the final assembly and had no reaction which is telling. I’ll keep gloves on while working on this resin kit until primer is down. Also have this little Tachikoma buddy in the mix. Needs lots of love to remove seam lines, but painting should be a breeze.

Beautiful! Come on in for some mutant purple fish. Yummmmm.

Stunning paint job. Goals!

Thanks. I’ll make sure and do that.

Thanks. Appreciate it. Mask and gloves will be part of my process. I haven’t sanded any of the surfaces yet but I have been drilling with a pin vise which did release some strong odors for sure.

Started to test fit this FSS 1/72 Baga resin kit. It’s way larger than I had expected and probably won’t fit in the display case. I’m more than halfway there and hope to finish up test fit today, but I have notice my fingers are feeling a little sore and tingly. I have been pinning and not using gloves. Does exposing yourself to resin kits cause sensitivity issues? Should I be gloved up? Edit. Washed hands good and put on gloves. Seems to have helped already. Hmmmmm. I guess that’s the path I’ll take using this material. also pinned everything I could with 2mm and will switch up to 1mm the the remaining small bits.

@Gabe QThat sucks. 😞

Yeah, good looking bunch right there. I sort of want to do the more colorful version inspired by the old kit box art. I forget the name of that scheme.

@derex3592 That’s awesome! I need to build my Glaug soon. Instead I went straight for the TV Q-Rau and it’s an amazing kit too. It’s soooooo easy to “snap” together. I know I built the DYRL version but must have amnesia since I don’t remember it being so simple. Anyway, you are in for a treat when you get to yours. 👍 Test fit in about 3 hours. Started it before bed last night and finished it up a minute ago before I head off to have a ton of fun at the dentist. 🫠 Now I need to disassemble it and get to work on seams which there are many. For $140 I need to get this looking A+++ going all in on this one.

@derex3592Congrats. Now just make the $255 look like a $ million.

I so wish I was able to find the vinyl or plastic versions of anything BGC. Your build is inspiring me. Hanami time. My wife and I were in Japan for Hanami 8 years ago. Such a beautiful time. 🌸

@Big s Thanks. @joscasle Thanks. You have a great trio going there. Looking great!Any thoughts on the Strike? I have it in my stash and look forward to building it. Oh and that ghost in the shell stand alone. I have always wanted that kit. Do you have any more pics?
