GBP and Strike Armor Question

[roboferret]

EDIT: Scratch the Strike Armor Question

I have a random question that probably has a very simple answer.

GBP armor: Regarding the armor that surrounds the forearm - Is there any good way to separate the two halves aside from brute strength pulling them apart? (Yeah, of all places THIS is what's giving me trouble)

Thank you very much in advance!

What? You use brute strength? The come apart just fine. Click and they come apart.

I don't understand the trouble.

Yeah, having trouble understanding this one. Can you post a pic? This part just snaps into place...

Heh, I appreciate you guys trying to help. Sorry for the vague description.

Finally got the suckers apart. I think it is that I always handle my models way to softly. The GBP armor I have I actually got on e-bay, and it was custom painted, so I have been EXTRA careful with absolutely everything on it. Just didn't want to snap something off in the process. Really makes you think twice about something when you drop 100+ dollars on it. The more I work with the yamatos the more I learn that certain things just require a firm confident tug.

Except the leg joint in my 1/5000 SDF. That thing went above and beyond the definition of stiff. I had to get HULK SMASH angry before I was able to dislodge it.

But I digress. Thanks again for the help. Once I get back from my trip I'll have to throw up some pictures of this bad boy.

I feel your pain buddy, Im always extra careful with the valks I get especially when transforming them for the first time... Heck I thought I snapped the leg armor cover peice and broke the locking peg for my VF-1 1/48 stirke parts set... luckily it was fine but I was scared because the part wasnt locking back on... luckily all it need was some extra force to lock in place heh.
