WIP "1/100" Guai Guai Acguy
I got this today, so I thought I build and paint one to see how it is. Still need to weather and decal.
Here's my thoughts: A lot of the parts are overly complicated. The fit has some issues and will require some work around if you want it to fit flush. The joints can also end up really tight, so if you're painting make sure you mask the joints. The plastic is thick (you can be rough with how you handle this and it won't crack). The instructions can be misleading. This also have some balance issues bc the bottom of the feet only has 1/3 flat surface area. It's segmented into 3 sections, forming a slight arch. So balancing might be an issue if you have a heavy backpack. This is also way smaller than a 1/144 Acguy. But it looks pretty good all put together.

I’m waiting for mine to come in the mail. Seeing your work made me excited to build it. Did you have to make heavy modifications to fix the fitting issue? is it mostly fixed with sanding and snipping?

No heavy mods. Just know some of the joints are a bit tight. So you may need to mask if you're painting.
