What doozy this one is! The build was great! Took me forever but that was on me.
In my now-fashion, I gave it a coat of paint, this time in more places than I usually do. Every piece of the internal frame got painted this time around. I did not paint the yellows bc it's an iconic color to me and I haven't found the right metallic yellow (I don't want gold) yet. I also used a few glitter coats of differing glitter fineness. The finest one was used on the yellows as a light coat to give it some shimmer. I actually really wanted this puppy to shimmer. I used the medium fine to spray on the psycho frame pieces, as well as on the funnel stand segments closest to the flying fins, and the coarser glitter spray on the segments closest to the stand. I was hoping to kind of recreate the summer trail left behind psycho controlled funnels. I also got some of the newer style LED pucks for MG so I decided this guy should have one!
Some things I noticed when building this big boi:
Articulation is awesome!
The few color changing stickers were a very welcome change to the foil stickers of HGs. They were super sticky and pliable. It found it to be no problem using a lil extra thumb force to get a lil stretch on then in areas they didn't quite reach far enough. I also didn't realize they were even part of the kit until opening it, so I ended up painting the light grey ones to match the light silver I used.
These suckers are not built to hold 6 funnels on one shoulder without great care. If 6 fins are on the backpack and it's placed on the stand, it leans lol it's not a snug fit to the back/backpack from the stand.
I did get the P-Bandai double funnel set to go with this (I know I didn't config the Nu for double fins on the backpack, but I like that cool sabre ๐) and the dang fins just don't want to stay shut enough to keep the lil effects in place (as seen in the gallery)
The double fin set also came with ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ an exact duplicate of the stand included with the Ver.Ka ๐คฆโโ๏ธ SoI guess I have a spare now ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Overall a great build! Now it's time to move on to the HG "scene" from Crossbone Ghost I've been planning!
