I really liked how easy but long it took to build and the outcome was worth it! I would highly recomend for starters to Gunpla.
I only recently got into making Gunpla models and this one happened to be my second one (my first being a HG Aerial rebuild).
I didnt really have any problems on the first one so I thought this one wouldnt be much of a difference. It took me around 2 day to assemble plus put on the decals but a few days after completion I noticed some of the stickers where out of place.
I did use a cotton swab tip to press onto the stickers and im pretty sure i didnt touch any with my bare hands but with a hobby knife. Later i found out that I probaly made a mistake of not making sure the surface was free of my hand oil, dust,
and other small impurities.
MAKE SURE YOU DONT DO WHAT I DID AND CLEAN THE SURFACE BEFORE PUTTING ON DECALS!!!1
HG Dantalion keeps on going out of stock, now I know the reason why. Lucky I got one this time. Really unique head sculpt, unique build, and the Half Cowl T gives it the bulk it needs to impose on the shelf. Nice addition to my display!
I got this as a gift for someone and it has made me very popular indeed!
For a first 30mm Kit, this guy was a blast. Easy to assemble, fun to pose, and even more fun to mess about and make some cool mechs with.
First, the build. Nice and simple, no complaints. The Alto's a pretty well-built fellow, a nice and dense plastic dude. The only slightly complex parts (if you could say that) were the wings, but it's still fairly easy.
The posing is awesome. He can bend in every which way thanks to a generous helping of polycaps and other joints. His chicken legs (landing gear?) let him pose fine, and a little better than his normal boots thanks to the splayed claws. He can stand just fine with his backpack - no back-heavy issues here unlike some other kits.
For equipment, he comes with the parts to turn him into a normal navy alto, his flight pack, and a set of booster legs. These are the 30mm space flight legs colored navy, and he can use them as such. the wings can rotate, fold, and attach to other 3mm ports. he can also attach other guns to the undersides. His railguns on top of the pack come with parts for him to use them as guns too.
All in all, he cuts a mean presence on the shelf - definitely put him on a stand so he can really show you what he's got!
