SHITS HAPPEN!: Lost an important part to the FATUM Unit of my IJ!

As I finished sanding the last few parts of the FATUM/Backpack of my IJ this afternoon, I noticed that I am missing something...below is a scan of a manual from DALONG.NET, I encircled the part that is missing..





I was about to panic because I wanted to finished working on the backpack before the year ends. BUT! Instead of panicking at my room like hell, I decided to think of a way to somehow IMPROVISE the missing part. I then decided to use an old/unused PC/Polycap from my SF kit..and here it is..




I then cut the upper part using my hobby knife, and shaved it to fit in the wings at the backpack, glued it afterwards using a super glue (Mighty Bond)..




Test fitted it, and it perfectly fits! yay! :3


Lesson learned! If you happen to lost a part on your kit, don't panic yet, instead..think of a way on how to somehow "improvise" that missing part! ;)..till then! :)

MG GM Ver. 2.0 Group Build!

Yes, I'm not done yet with my SD Astray..But earlier, we <me and my friends/fellow modelers> have discussed what will be our next GB, and decided that it'll be a GM Ver. 2.0..GM's design is SOOOOOOOOO plain that you can do a lot of stuffs to it, and in my opinion, the kit is a perfect kit for mods and stuffs XD.. This is not about who's good or who's a better modeler, this is about enjoying the hobby and the GB..I joined the GB to <again> learn and get used to modding gunpla's or model kits in general, to help improve my "skills" <if you call it skills> in this hobby. If ever, this will be my 2nd attempt to mod a kit! HELL YEAH!! XD Anyway, here's the current list of the peepz who'll join this MG GM Ver. 2.0 Group Build Shaq/CRSNIK Kevin/KevinCS Niko/Mr. Pink David/DAVIME Billy/Flynn Ray Mark/ Stephen/ Aaron/ Jamac/ Jeremy/
