That weird geometric camo is gonna suck to paint but it'll look way better once I add it.

That weird geometric camo is gonna suck to paint but it'll look way better once I add it. | Just finished building Metal Gear Rex! It's actually a lot smaller than I thought it would be, even though it's the same scale as a master grade Gundam (1/100) I didn't expect it to be this close in height. This is a wing kit, they're supposed to be the short ones, yet somehow it's taller without the base giving MGR a boost; Definitely painting this though. Although kotobukiya was better than I expected it looks cheap since it's almost entirely one shade of grey | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

Thankfully there are a lot of reference images in the instructions so that'll help with masking

Why don't they just give us the parts already painted

Clankers - inhuman vile robots who feel no sympathy

Clankas - Real ones who care about biological life, like r2 or the autobots

Not sure I don't have much metal gear knowledge

It's a mech but can also function autonomously kinda like a drone (or so I'm told) but idk how it acts in drone mode

Given the amount of sliding and interlocking mechanisms I think I'm about to learn that the hard way too

If I can do a part as is I'm doing it as is

Update: imgflip.com/i/a06duo
The only parts I had to do some serious disassembly on were the legs since there's some annoying part layering

The rest I can do without disassembly with some masking tape
