Yep. I can't decide if I should buy a second one for Axel Form, or if I should just convert this one. I'm leaning towards a second.

Considering it's only 1,490 at AmiAmi right now, I'd say a second one isn't a bad idea ^0^

This set looks tempting since it is in the 6 inch scale but I always get a bit nervous about models

[ryan]

What about them makes you nervous?

This is a solid feeling kit, it's very easy to pose, far easier than the bigger/older W kits I have. The joints just move very well, whereas on the W kits they just felt a bit more...I don't know, not fragile, but not meant to be used a lot. Sorta?

The stickers. I've always been bad with stickers

[XW1n5t0nX]

I'm in the same boat. But it just takes patience. You could always use a toothpick or exacto knife to help lay them on if you need to.

They're not so bad. Normal external ones are easy to apply. Any small ones that go into really small spaces like the ones that go inside Faiz's chest, I usually apply with tweezers. And press into it with a cotton swab to stick.

I also use cotton swabs to press stickers into detail so they show up. Like the red arrows on the back of his hands. Or his feet.

I built him last night and he's great! I had considered painting him, but I decided to do stock build. I did add silver to the fingertips though. I'm super stoked for Kabuto now. I just need to find time to build it.

I use an xacto blade for positioning the stickers, and for applying the sticker, fitting it into the details of the scultp, instead of a toothpick I tried out a used nail care stick. I liked having the option of the two different edges to work with, and since it was used, the edges weren't so sharp that I had to worry about it damaging the sticker. It's what I will use from now on for stickers.

I definitely need to paint the fingertips on mine.

[XW1n5t0nX]

Probably wouldn't hurt to try and paint the Faiz Edge either.

[ryan]

That, I don't know how well I would do at that. If the red gundam marker I have is even close to the right color.
But agreed, it needs it pretty badly. Aside from that, I think all the accessories look and are great, but the Faiz Edge NEEDS its lightsaber blade.

Every time I see your signature in this thread I think to myself, I sure hope they do Kaixa, and soon.
