A Beautiful Model... But I Hate It
The Cathayan Sentinel is a beautiful model... But it is also the worst model I have ever built. At the moment I have him in two basic halves. I am not sure at this time how to achieve this. I skipped the step where I was supposed to attach the torso to the legs for two reasons. Firstly, I'd tried three times already. Second, I correctly guessed the arms would also be a pain yet easier to accomplish unencumbered by the legs. Starting with the boots, each boot has two internal pieces that it recommends you paint before assembly. Not sure that was remotely a possibility and if I'd tried the amount of reglues I've had to do would have ruined the paintwork had I even attempted it. These internal pieces don't have a clear place to go. There's a mark I think they rest against but the instructions are far from clear and the pieces don't feel their way to fit. God how I miss building the Corvus Blackstar. That kit felt like it belonged together, you could drop the piece...
