Gunpla Assembly Icon Guides

Ever wondered what are those icons in our gunpla manuals? I had came accross to this image below. (Gosh I forgot what the site was.) Hopefully, the translations will speak for the icons themselves. Especially, if you're a newbie in dealing with the different parts of the runners, gates, and etc. I remember my first encounter in assembling my new kit. I was quite hesitant at that time in every gate that I cut and every part that I snap fit. the instruction manual was really Japanese and solely intended for Japan use only - as Bandai had written in cover.

Full Cloth Shin Musha - Sengoku Jin Version 2

As I had posted earlier, here is now the complete review of my Shin Musha. It's not the actual Sengoku Jin kit that normally you would buy in the market but I have created my own version on top of the basic Shin Musha kit. Initially, I was itching to buy an Exia MG kit from the 00 series. But whata hell... I found this kit that caught my attention. There was however a Sengoku Jin available, but it was really quite pricey. Anyway, why not create a sort of a diorama that will be a customized version?

After tinkering with the parts of the unit including the kind and colors of the paint to be used, it took me more than 2-3 weeks to finish everything. Of course, I have to deal with the kit only after my work from office which I have to spend up to the wee hours of the night to assemble the kit.
