To Jimsbeanz.: This is not a resin kit, Its plastic. Or that is how it was marketed, also it was marketed to the Gunpla builder not a G-system grade kit. Also I had no idea it could not support the binders without support. Again it was marketed otherwise. Here is the latest build updated. After spending hours on the knee booster electronics I am disappointed to report they dont work. After ensuring the cables neatly tucked in blah blah blah nope. Very disappointed. At this point I am like frakk the electronics

I was being objective... But lets look at his dichotomy Quality Control: 5/10 Articulation: 6/10 "This kit is tagged as a 1/100 scale kit but it is a bit off scale compared to Master Grades which is also 1/100 scale. The height of the Kshatriya according to specifications is 22.3m (head height). This model is around 24.5cm from foot to tip of the head and 28cm from foot to tip of the antenna. That means this model kit's actual scale is approximately 1/91 (from foot to tip of the head). This is a bit bigger compared to other mobile suit of the same actual height that is released in MG series." "have to say that the binders are my favorite part of this kit. They are highly detailed and articulated and I had so much fun posing them in different configurations. The only problem is that they are very heavy in relation to the main body's weight. That is too say, they are too much for the shoulders to support. The only way you can attach them without the shoulders swinging backward or forward is that they must be balanced. You must hold both shoulders and attach the binders one by one with your other hand and when you think that they are already balanced then you can let go of the shoulders, at least this is the way I do it. Without a stand, you must tighten the screws on the thigh and hip connection otherwise your Kshatriya will do a 160° split. Put a blu tack under those feet as well just to be sure. I wouldn't recommend attaching the binders for a long time without any other kind of support either for the binders or the shoulders." and then "Recommendation: Highly Recommended" I find that very funny! QC to me is everything. FIT is everything. AND ah hell without the Binders it ain't quite a Kyshatria unless you can clone yourself to hold the binders up for display

Some of the tools your going to need. Which reminds me I need to go to Sayals to pick of solder and a soldering pen to splice and reconnect the wire back on the circuit board in the neck piece. Sigh Im anal and that way I want all the LEDs to work. For example the knee boosters You'll have to cut the battery housing for the copper connection to reach the battery Then you will have to hack away at the grey plastic for the LEDs and Wire to be able to fit properly. Those chrome pieces are meant to screw the cover on...hahahaha yeah no can do, Will have to be clued on

You know working on the shoulders I can already tell there is nooooooooooooooooooooooo WAY that the wing binders will stay on the shoulders. The only thing holding them would be the male jack that would plug into the ports at the top, hahaha oh man classic fail. Ill let you know if I am right

This is nothing like a PG Zeta. PG is like heaven compared to this nightmare and I just read on another forum that I am not the only one with missing pieces. Nevermind that not a single piece fits right, your basically left with cutting away pegs or drilling larger peg holes , glue the crap out of everything, using new "longer" wire, soldering, reshaping with a hobby knife. It was like anything else probably 20 something engineer graduates that they seem to be pumping en mass critical who outside of their immediate field would be classed as troglodytes. There is a saying in manufacturing, do what you say you will do, and does it do what you said. Or something like that I dont really remember its late. but any how I drudge along I might as well try to finish it even if my fingers are glued to crap with blood and glue. Ther person on ebay that I bought the kit from was nice enough to try to get me the missing parts and extra wire. So I am hoping he can come through. But if this kit was as is I think its value would have been great at 120 shipped. 300 shipped is beyond ridiculous. No need for all fancy logo art and crap. G-system comes in a plain cardboard box with a printed sheet glued to the front and they are light years ahead Oh did I mention the instructions make no sense??

This is a painful build, literally as I glue my figures to crap and also cut them. NONE of the pieces fit. I know I mentioned that already, but unless you can create your own models and can work with G-system kits do not get this kit! I am now trying to build around the two parts where I pulled the wires by accident. I need to find a stronger wire splice it and solder it to make it longer so at least ALL the lights work. Here is a pick that I actually have to cut a away a major part of the panel for the male pin to connect to the female port for the lighting. Progress so far

People keep saying it was Jessie who wrote Heisenberg at walts house. But he is too stupid too. I think its Hank. He was the only one with that connection. He is next to break bad.

More progress pics. Found out i ripped the wire for the head Mono eye LED. So I am going to get a new wire extension and splice it. All the fits are off lots of modding and rewiring and sodering this kit requires 500% re work and lots of glue. On my second bottle of Crazy Glue Sigh Fit issues have to find wiring

Beltane70: I can see why Bandai doesnt do a MG version of the Kysh, but its a perfect candidate for the PG grade, I know from experience the 00 Raiser was a disaster with the weight issues but with the success of the S.F. The Kysh would be full of awesome. So far this is how far I have come with the build. Its moving ever so slow. I will say its getting nicer but my fingers are all glued together. Ill try to finish up to give you guys the overview

Neither can I. I literally cut the pages apart in the instruction manual for that reason. I need to reference that part in the next step and then go back to the trays and carefully navigate the trays without disturbing them so much as to displace a piece and not pick out the correct item. Its insane. There was no thought put through this. Also it seems they just collected the money from the pre-orders took their computer designs and printed it out on a 3 computer. There was no QC to see if the parts actually fit. None of the parts have used in the assembly have a good fit. Poor tolerance all around. Im going to be keep going and try to finish it. I mean I bloody paid $300 for it. But never again Elyn. This may be their only release judging from the web feedback I am getting

Size comparison Non of the pieces fit. I have to file clip, and mod all myself. I doubt the wiring will even work

The plastic is toyish at best. But because of that the glue doesn't settle well at all. Instead you will find the pieces, 99% of them don't fit, and as a result melting. Pieces missing is a big nuisance for me, second is the wiring that is short and parts to thick to fit inside the frame. For example the circuit board piece in his chest was soldered on a 20 degree angle. So I had to pull out my dremel tool to fix that piece of molding. (I dount the lights will work.) Some box reviews mentioned that this thing was crowd funded, which is why it took so long and I believe that because all we got for 8 months were CGI photos. That really pisses me off. If you want to make a product me and others who put down a LOT of money to be guinea pigs. I got this kit because I cant build G-System and this was geared to Gunpla builders not f^&%ing stop animation modelers. Boy would it bring me great pleasure to bunch every one of elyn members in the face! EDIT: This also has a very negative impact on any future companies that actually spend the time to make a quality product but wont get the sales to continue work as people like myself and others got burned and are not willing to make the jump again. A good example is miracles Vehicle Voltron.

Not looking forward to this some parts are Kotobukiya small if anyone has had any experience with them they will know how frustrating it is using tweezers but when you have small parts scattered in the tray outside of their place of rest Man I really hate this kit. And its not like they did me any favors almost 90% of the parts have the sprue marks on them so I have to cut them anyway. And with the size of the trays from A -N I dont have enough floor space to keep them all out for me to cherry pick the parts. What a disaster
