While I watched tournament streams. This is a “special” coating version that comes pre-finished in an imitation of the popular “candy” paint style. It’s not a perfect solution— it isn’t possible to avoid little blemishes and the coating can even streak off— but it’s convenient for someone like me who can’t have a paint setup (don’t have the ventilation), and this coating is particularly striking in red. Head, backpack and weapons remain to be done.

I last worked on this kit maybe over a year ago. I haven’t had a lot of peace and quiet these last couple years and I’m making the most of having a quiet Sunday to myself.

But a part of the crown snapped and had to plastic cement it back together. (Snap is right of the green forehead light.) Pieces like this are tough to handle with the fancy finish: it streaks right off. Used a metallic marker I had on hand for the green camera bits as the stickers supplied with this kit are just the worst. RG is a very high quality line but they give you junk stickers and decals, trivial to find in JP, are a huge pain to find elsewhere, and when you do they’re usually bootlegs

These are funnels, which in universe are independent weapons platforms that the pilot controls telepathically. They flit around and open up and fire. The model has opening funnels (it’s on you to suspend them in mid air). This is one of the fun parts of the build as you put together all these little opening panels. There are 24 panels for six funnels.
