1/12 Kotobukiya Megami Device Asra Tamamonomae + HobbyMio Gatling - Quick Build/Comments

[@Makoto_yuki_irl]

I’d really like to make one of these someday . Any beginner tips. Also is gluing parts necessary or is it so the build is stronger

[@Beastsbuilds]

I'd say take your time and carefully deal with each section, cleaning the sprue nibs when cut from the runners for the best look. Gluing isn't necessary for a lot of parts, especially because she's got a variety of spare changeable pieces, but if you're happy using just the parts you've chosen, gluing won't hurt.

Hello--looking to purchase this kit, but is there a way to swap to a smaller or armored/covered chest? What is compatible or the cheapest kit I can purchase to get a cover up? Do they sell chests separately? Thanks!

[@Beastsbuilds]

Hey there! By smaller do you mean bust size? As far as I know you'd have to go for aftermarket pieces from SH Studio for a that, otherwise the kit does have a few different options that are varying degrees of armoured or covered. Alternatively the asra ninja may have a smaller chest that should fit this kit, off the top of my head I think that would be a good alternative.

@@Beastsbuilds Thank you so much for the info. I just purchased the kit as well as MSG 01 "Tops" for Megami Device which has a smaller bust included.

Ahh! I forgot about the MSG bits, let me know how they turn out mate 8)

@@Beastsbuilds thanks! It will be my first model kit (coming from Kingdom Death and Warhammer)

Oh good choice man, the megami kits are really fun as an alternative to Warhammer and resin minis, I'm sure you'll have a blast. Can't go wrong with kotobukiya!
