OK, not so much a review as it is some highlights of the neato workings. This is because I’m lazy.
This review has only one thing to mention, but it’s an important one.
What to glue, what to paint, check it out, check it out!
Since this one was a mega-build, usually taking a whole evening for each section, I thought I’d do an “in progress” review and point out cool features and potential trouble spots.
Another HMM build review/tips guide! Today we ask: should you glue some parts, even though it’s a “snap together” kit? The answer will surprise you.
(The answer is “yes”.)
This was a fun build, with very few tough parts (which weren’t even that tough). The main thing with these smaller kits is having to do a lot more painting than with large kits, if you want that “looks just like the box!” style. I think Kotobukiya’s getting better at engineering these things, because there were not as many parts that needed gluing to keep the kit stable.
A motorized gatling gun with a totally hidden motor? How did they do it? The answer may surprise you.
I’m combining the regular post and the build review, just because. Is this one more fun to play with than the gatling gun? The answer may surprise you.
