discussion Master Box 1/24 Zhu Yuanzhang - finished & good riddance!

[Dave Ward]

I'm calling this finished, it's a poor result, but I don't want to spend any more time on it - and only sheer bloody mindedness got me this far!

I don't think I'll ever touch a Master Box model again. The fit was poor, major surgery was needed, the instructions, well, there aren't any - just a picture of an assembled model annotated with numbers. A build sequence is really needed. The ingates on some of the parts were intrusive, and the plastic very soft & 'soapy'. It resisted TET & Contacta, and in the end CA was used!
I really didn't enjoy this, I was just determined to get to a finish, I could feel my mojo draining away. He will be consigned to lurk in the dark corners of any display .
Now, I have to go into the stash, and see if anything catches my eye.
Thanks for dropping in
Dave

You made the best out of it Dave, a lot of problems and no decent instructions... I more and more keep my distance regarding MB figures.
Cheers, Steven

You're being too hard on yourself Dave. You've done a great job on a difficult kit.
