>>6171357Here's how this nerd is going, finishing up the decal phase. I think the effect parts came out looking nice, I haven't done those before.
I had to completely repaint the blue after the chest broke again. It was already weakened from a break during the initial build, because I didn't realize how hard the chest grips on both sides, so it snapped on the very thin piece in the center. There are 3 rails holding it to the chest, and they grip pretty hard.
I would definitely recommend being extra careful removing this piece even on an oob build of the kit. The back piece of the chest is very structurally fragile also.
