Dark Skull

How can I get me a pair?? For the finished set of course

Well, I have to admit I'm a bit stubborn. I wanted to see if there was a way to salvage what I had. I didn't want to bother @ChristopherB to make any more parts whether at his and his team's expense or mine. So, I managed to use some loctite in a certain spot, let it set and then carefully re-assembled the left leg's armor pieces together afterward. The good news is, it worked! The whole kit is just gorgeous and I didn't want to just pack it away without at least enjoying it as fully as I could So, here's the pic of it in a display box along with a Calibre Wings valk:

It looks nice. But if I'm going to nitpick (which I am), the legs look a tad bit short as with the main guns. Also, why couldn't they have designed the head to separate in ship mode and be able to come together in bot mode? Ah well. And it looks like this may be a KO of a MOC. And looking one up...this one (though not colored correctly for the TV version) has more of the aesthetics I'd want: https://www.aliexpress.com/i/3256805721913592.html?gatewayAdapt=4itemAdapt

Sad to say....that I got mine in. And Christopher B was top notch with the after sale support as I had two front leg armor pieces that needed replacement. I got those in! However...another thing happened. As I put the left leg's armor together, the small little tab in the outer leg armor piece (for the left leg) became stressed. Everything seemed to fit together nicely until I heard a snap/pop. It fell apart. I tried using loctite superglue to re-attach the tab onto the outer armor piece. I let it set just long enough to test it....and it popped off again. This time the entire armor on the left leg just fell off except for the rear leg armor piece. That stayed on nicely to the valk's leg. I had the valk on a stand so that I would touch it, but again...it didn't last long. Oh well. I can only think that something in the way the particular leg's armor sat together caused that tab to get stressed. Oddly enough, the right leg armor is all good though. Absolutely nothing wrong with that nor the rest of the armor pieces. I'm glad everyone else who got theirs are looking good But for mine, I think I'll just take the armor pieces off and put it back in the box....and chalk it up as a loss.

Looking at the pics in the first page, what's the other side of those two square pieces look like?

Mine should get to me the day after

I got some waterslide decals in So I went ahead and applied it to a sticker set I got on eBay for the FG-01. Overall, it was easy to do and it came out looking real nice Now to do it on the one in bot mode.

I hope I made it in time lol

Are you hitting the F5 key like I am as if it's Bandai pre-order night? :P

Nah I'm good lol I'd probably need to do that freehand, and I'd mess it up. Also, I don't know the shade of red I'd need.

I sent you the measurements I used for the black vinyl sticker sheet I had to cut

I got a pair of microfiber gloves meant for lenses and jewelry, and they worked well while handling this thing

So I copied @tekering Eyeballed the measurements with a tape measure. I think it came out nicely

I got some Oakleys I can wear....and I did get the gloves in :P
