Some updates on my F91… ouch

In my excitement to pose with the newly built F91, I had accidentally broke off one of the VSBR from its rails. How did I break it ? Well for one I was inspired by this pose which I saw some time ago.

It reminds me of Freedom Gundam’s outstretched wing cannons which was pretty cool to look at. Unfortunately, as I’ve mentioned in my previous post, the F91 is a very stiff model with no polycaps. So when I tried to twist the VSBR 180 degrees upwards, the joint broke off. So now I have half the ball joint stuck in the VSBR and the other half still attached to the rails. Anyway, I figured since the joint wont be that visible if I glue them back together, I bought myself a tube of quick dry superglue from the nearest art supply shop and affixed them together.

After leaving it for 2 days to cure, the cannon is now firmly in place. Its a lot less flexible now since the ball joint is stuck, but I can still slide them along the rails.

Oh well, this reminds me to be more careful when posing with Gunplas in the future. Photos will be up in the next couple of days :P

    A really unfortunate accident to hear, but thankfully it wasn’t not a bad screw-up. Will be waiting to see your photos in a few days time.
