Assembly
Now that all the paints have cured, it was time to piece everything back together.
Right leg complete.
And the other leg.
The waist.
Torso.
Arms.
Shoulders.
With the head, I completed the assembly of the main body.
The twin buster rifle.
Re-assembling the wings required a bit of work. I had to sand down some of the joints because the joints wouldn't fit with paint over it. I also had to use glue to make sure some of the pieces to stick together.
Finally all that was left was the expansion set base but then I noticed this.
Some of the joints were shattering where the alligator clips were holding the pieces. These feather pieces are actually made from a different material from the regular model kit pieces. They are less flexible and very brittle compared to the regular materials.
Fortunately, the joints weren't completely broken to the point where I couldn't still place them onto the stand base.
And there we have it! RG Wing Gundam Zero Custom complete!

Today I Learned
- If a part feels brittle or a piece is made with less flexible material, take extra caution while handling (e.g. avoid using alligator clips)
