After almost 2 years of telling myself I’d build one, I finally managed to finish one Frame Arms Girl.
This build took about 2 weeks, and I found most of the time was prep work. There are just so many seam lines to fix, with 10 on the main body alone! Some of the seams like the foreamrs involved gluing / welding all the seams, painting the green/brown, and then masking to paint the black part.
After that it was pretty much smooth sailing, unlike Gunpla where there’s alot of panel lining and decals, once the painting was finished that was the end of the job. There’s still more areas that needed masking for complete colour accuracy, but since this is my first time, I just opted to skip them. This being my second time painting skin tones, I thought I did slightly better, though was quite surprised as to how much lighter it looks once the paint dries a bit.
I just love the final result, but the kit does feel really tight and I’m kinda scared to pose her, even moreso than my Gunpla builds.
