Crossposting from the Etrian Odyssey thread in Games. I preordered this a while ago, and it came in on Thursday. Full disclosure - I had no idea this was going to be a full model kit. So, now I have an excuse to start another hobby!    Picked up a sprue cutter, hobby knife and cutting mat, going to build it tomorrow. Gonna be fun!

help help three hours of my life disappeared and when I came to this happened:  I finished up assembly a little bit ago. I'm gonna have to sand out some rough spots, and then I'll be painting, but holy poo poo this was a ton of fun to do. I even managed to not nick myself with my knife! W.T. Fits posted:There's a kit for the Imperial due out in November. Now that I know what I'm in for, I'm even more stoked for this kit. Now I know why they call this plastic crack.

Day two and 5 hours later:  All that's left to do before I do some cementing is painting. There are a couple of parts that don't fit as well together as they should, namely the inner 'wing' panels, but I'd planned on cementing them in to begin with. This kit has way too many tiny parts that could be lost far too easily not to secure them  I have a desperate need for the white Ginkei to go along with it now.

Picked up the white Ginkei ship from Ikaruga to match the black Ikaruga I built a month ago. Some progress pictures from today:  The instructions don't really make mention of it, but the parts at the bottom of this picture require glue/cement to stick together properly, and holy poo poo was it difficult to get everything to sit together right. The pieces didn't sit as flush as they should, so I had a hell of a time getting them together.  At the very least, I got one side done today. Going to make a run for some paints I need and finish construction tomorrow.  And a picture of the Ikaruga, cause why not?

Finished up the Ginkei's construction.  Somebody was asking about the difficulty of the build - The biggest issues I came across were that the bits of 'wing' on the gray rails coming of the main wing are fiddly as hell and require cementing. Also, the instructions have you build two different versions of that piece without telling you that either step is optional, so.  The only other aside I have is that the way the main body fits together is a bit loose, so I really recommend cementing a lot of it, too. The build isn't that bad at all, but we'll see how the waterslide decals go
