After two decades of having partners shame me for wanting to get into this hobby, my Wife surprised me by buying my first kit.
So for reference, I had never built one before so please be kind, I have only built these two kits and want to practice painting and panel lining, weathering etc on some cheaper third party or EG kits before I do it on my first kit and my newest addition.
But my amazing Wife knew I wanted to get into it and bought me my first kit, an EG Wing from the TV series.
She sat there for an hour whilst I figured it all out and assembled him and bigged me up for it, said I should do it as a hobby if I like it and get another.
I had one in my sights, at 8 years old I watched Endless Waltz on Toonami when it was first released and forever wanted a Wing Zero EW on display.
But for years I never have as I was made to feel ashamed by previous partners, my Wife however? She's sat next to me, told me how good it's looking and how she likes how much it's relaxed me and I should put them on display (she draws the line at Gundam curtains and bed sheets though 😂)
Well, I still need to assemble the weapons and apply the Waterslides... But I've just assembled the main body of a Wing Zero MG Ver Ka EW
I'm over the moon with it so far and can't wait to get him panel lined and painted so he looks like he's actually been in battle in space.
Thanks for looking guys and thanks for reading, if anyone has ANY advice or suggestions for new kits, ways to customise (I have the snow white expansion pack and seraphim wings in my basket) please let me know! Never been so buzzing with a hobby in a longgggg time.
Thanks guys
Daz.
And for those wondering, so far on my Ver Ka I'm sitting at about 6hrs including removing excess runner and nubs with an exacto knife and sanding with some Stedi sanding sticks, is that good time? Or slow as fuck? 😂
