@skhobbies 2 ай бұрын
Good idea. I got in touch with kosmos and they also recommend installing the LEDs when building the kit for the first time. In my case, since it’s already built - I’ll have to do disassembly and to install LEDs. Will be an interesting and hopefully useful video!

Nicely done! Did using the metal parts make it any tougher and for the decals, can they just soak up water from the top of that sponge to activate? Posing was great too but crazy how long it took to get some poses in
@skhobbies 2 ай бұрын
thank you! not at all, metal parts are internal so no decals are applied to them directly. i use a moisturizer box for decals and at times left them in it overnight. the moisturizer box has a sponge that you soak in water. so decals are kept wet but not drowned in water. i am sure others will be quicker with poses - my sausagy fingers make posing a little tough but it is still fun :)

thank you! dont be! its just one part at a time - take it slow and easy and be patient. you can build any snap model kit like that. as far as i can tell, the difficulty goes up significantly when/if you get to those model that need to be fully painted and glued and all that.

Is it easy to remove the parts, should I build it first or wait until I have the kosmos led?
@skhobbies 20 күн бұрын
It is definitely not easy to remove the parts. This kits is somewhere between PG and MG scale while it also has 2-3 times the number of parts. If I knew about the led kit - I would’ve waited building mine until I got both. With that being said tho - I will be disassembling my defender to install LEDs once I receive those and will certainly make a video on the process.

Next batch is probably 1Q of 2025 and Einta official quote marks "Maybe just 50% release" So china will suck up all the stocks and the rest of the world can't lay hands directly until maybe late 2025. You can actually purchase with some "premium" added at chinese online markets which costs almost double the original price. I myself got this last week for $120 because I didn't want to wait for another 6 months or more. If I succeeded in pre-ordering the 1st batch I would've got em for $70.
@skhobbies Ай бұрын
@@BOT-xt8pu yeah. Msrp is quite reasonable on these but resell/retail price is nuts. I was lucky enough to get mine at a good price some samueldecal.com and fast too. Also, from what I’ve heard (rumors, purely) is over 130k units production was announced. So there should be plenty to go around eventually. But the wait might be quite extended due to hype around this model.

Waiting for the KOSMOS light kit before building mine.. so nervous about panel lining this thing. Afraid of the liner cracking the armor pieces
@skhobbies 2 ай бұрын
Good plan! All armor is made of PS plastic so no need to be afraid if you use enamel panel liner, like Tamiya. I didn’t panel line inner frame.

Great build video. I am building the same kit but the instructions do not indicate qhere to use the metal peices accept for the torso. Can you tell me where you ised them?
@skhobbies 2 ай бұрын
Check the box the runners are in - there should be a separate black and white sheet for metal parts instructions. It’s not part of the manual booklet. I only kept the manual as memento but if I recall correctly - it’s the shoulder joints, lower torso, and ankles. When you get to building those parts - you’ll notice the POM joints look similar to the metal parts.

Can't wait for mine, not looking forward to the decal work haha EDIT: 710 DECALS?!
@skhobbies 2 ай бұрын
Yes indeed. Depends on the finish version you choose. Basic finish will guide you to apply 258 decals and deluxe will expect you to apply all 710. And if you use spares I think it’s smth like 720. The decals are very high quality, though very tiny.

I'm shopping for a display case for this monster. Trying to avoid custom acrylic, but I'm curious about the dimensions for the included action base. Do you have those measurements by any chance?
@skhobbies 2 ай бұрын
sure, the base is about a foot deep, 9.5" wide. depends on your pose the kit can be as little as 12.5" and as much as 20" in height. the width and depth can also extend drastically depending on the pose. i was able to put the kit in last pose seen on video on a shelf with 16.5" depth, 15" width, 13" . height.

Nice video. I got some tips about the decals, btw where did u get the sponge for the decals? Cheers
@skhobbies 2 ай бұрын
thank you! its a decal moisturizer box. i got it on aliexpress for like 5 bucks. i believe its just a regular wet palette just rebranded (and potentially priced higher). its kind of neat as you soak the sponge in water, place a ton of decals on it and work through them. they will be wet but not swimming in water. plus, with this particular one - you can close the lid if you need a break and the decals will remain safe inside.

@@skhobbies yeah it looks it! You said you used the metal parts on the inner frame, does it give you the choice as you build?
@skhobbies Ай бұрын
yes. if your pre-order comes with metal parts - they will be in a small separate plastic container. they're all joined parts: shoulders, lower torso, ankles. the main manual does not list them. you will have a separate sheet of a4 black and white paper that instructs where to use the metal parts, if choose to do so. make sure to look good for that sheet - i personally almost lost it. but if you cant find it - lemme know, i can share photos of it. the metal parts are cool for photos/video - extra subtle shine here and there - but are only adding more difficulty to posing this beast. this kit is super intricate and quite small (smaller than PG quite a bit) and metal joints throw off the weight balance even more... but its fun!
