Building The Tsugumori - Or Demonsub's First Gunpla
Making A Start
Reading through the instruction book presented no problems and the instructions were easy to follow. I used the translation app on my phone to double check a few points. While not perfect I got the general idea.
There were a few funny translations which I’ll share now and again in this blog.
So building and assembling seems quite simple so far. Clip the parts out for each diagram, clean off any remaining sprue gates with my modelling knife and needle files, look out for mould lines, all the usual plastic kit stuff we all do naturally with plastic miniatures.
Instead of glueing everything together it’s all push fit (so far). Everything clips together very well and is quite secure.
There’s also plenty of rotating and pivotal parts even in just the tiny piece I’ve assembled. All this without glue, amazing.
I took things slowly, enjoying the build while watching a live stream on YouTube. It took around an hour and a half to do this small part from the first page, and I actually found the whole process fairly relaxing.
