Have fun. Best beginners tip I can give is a simple reminder that it is not a race so just take your time and go slow

My best beginners tip so far seems to be 'Don't cut your fingers off accidently' or 'Don't cut tiny pieces above deep pile carpet'.Have fun. Best beginners tip I can give is a simple reminder that it is not a race so just take your time and go slow

Finding tiny pieces that have flown off the sprue or where you were placing it is difficult enough without adding carpet to the equation.

The amount of times I've had to shine a torch on the floor to find a tiny piece of plastic...

I got the guns attached now. But until I get the backpack done it is now very front heavy so I had to swing the arms backwards slightly for the time being.

There are both Bandai and Kotobukiya kits available. I haven't built any of the current Bandai kits, but the Kotos look great. I wouldn't recommend the Kotos for beginners as they are double the price of the Bandai kits and the hands are awful to assemble(a common thread with Koto kits).
The Bandai kits are usually between €30-€40, the Koto kits are around €70-€80

So what you are telling me is it wasn't a box of legs?

And it's done.
Missiles pods open and locked on
The engineers told me it was a technical impossibility to keep adding missile pods to a mobile suit but I made a discovery in the original plans that allowed this by simply telling the engineers to shut up.
Not shown are even more missile pods on the back
Finally we have an unused sheet of water transfers which I am on the fence about using
