Nicely done. I tried this same thing on my MG Heavyarms mini gun barrels. It was ok but don’t think it turned out as well as yours. Still need to practice.

Ok this is so cool. May I ask where one acquires such a kit?

I’ve always seen (and honestly LIVED) the memes about loosing a piece and not being able to find it. Never have I seen the reverse. It’s like the leftover ikea pieces that make you question your sanity and ask yourself “where did I go wrong?”

This looks way cool! And not too bad on the thrusters. I’m curious on how much of that inner frame stuff you painted. Or didn’t have that much color separation?

I need to talk to my local supplier and see if I can special order it through them. Can’t wait to get my hands (all 4 of them) on this!

Yo, I have a similar cubicle setup. I’ve thought about bringing in a couple kits to display. This may actually get me to do it! Well done.

Forget the expensive single blade nippers and get the cheap single blade nippers from Amazon. They still work just as good and don’t cost a zeon arm and a leg.

We just booked our Japan trip for next May/June. I’m hoping they have something planned for a replacement and on display at that time.

Thanks for sharing this. I saw all the hate for the mighty strike freedom, but didn’t see the MGSD announcement. That’s one of my favorite build lines.

You are missing out and depraving yourself of some super fun builds! MGSD are great kits. They get a lot of flack for the chibi like proportions, but the engineering behind them are top notch.

Just my local Gunpla & hobby store. They are a part of Bandai’s 30 Minute Fantasy line. Most of the online retailers should have access to them. I’d also reach out to your local store. See if they do special orders.

WIP Update: finished assembly of the Manta-Ray backpack. Man this has been an amazing kit! Now I just need to do water slides and possibly a top coat, but might forgo that. (Stanley water bottle included for size comparison) #Gunpla #Plamo #InEra #Thunderbolt

WIP: body and weapons done. Still have to build the manta-ray backpack and water slides. This kit is insane! kind of bummed I didn’t paint up the details except on the trident, but I’d probably get burned out pretty quick with how much detail there is in the frame and the other parts. #Gunpla

Finished this quick snap build for the 30MF Dragonia Knight over the last weekend while on vacation. Love these 30 MF kits, so much fun and really lend themselves nicely to poses. #Gunpla #Bandai #30MF

WIP update: In Era Thunderbolt 2.0 Manta Ray. Phase 1 - inner frame is done! Man I love the details of this thing! Really trying hard to not want to paint and detail it all. Next up, panel lining all white/grey armor pieces.

Yeah I built the In Era Trailblazer and loved it. I remember it had some tight fits and snug joints, but this Thunderbolt 2.0 is like on another level. Also second guessing my approach with this kit. Started as a simple snap build, but the itch to paint details and panel line is strong.

I started on mine and I’m about as far as you were in this photo. I found the joints to be EXTREMELY tight. Like the leg joints move, but I have to use a lot of force to get any of them to bend. But at the same time, I’m not scared of them breaking. They seem quite strong. Did you have any issues?
