>>8776452Yeah, got some solid nippers and a hobby knife ready to go, and I went out of my way to get a pack of nice flexible sanding sticks when I got this kit, which arrived earlier in the week. I've also got panel lining markers coming with the zaku kit to pretty up things. The other kit was supposed to be here on the 12th originally, but I think it got held up by the snow or something because the tracking site says it's still a few states away. The site says it's coming on the 14th, but I'd be surprised if it did at this point.
>>8776668I don't really know myself honestly. I was never into action figures or model kits as a kid, but I've always loved the shit out of lego, and even moreso bionicle. I feel like they don't really give you a good reference point to start from though, considering there isn't much overlap with how they go together, or what your end up doing st the higher levels of engagement within their respective hobby spaces. I've only very recently started getting into figures and models, but it's definitely fun to see them on the shelf next to my bonks, though the stark difference in scale is pretty funny to see coming from mostly a lego-centric background.
With how I'm feeling tonight, I'm thinking now I'm just gonna hop into the FAG kit tonight and not wait any longer. I've been really dying for a project to occupy me for a few weeks now and the anticipation is kill me. I'll make sure take it slow though. Wish me luck anons, thanks for the advice!
