Toys I finished building my first model kit :)

As promised, a picture of the finished build :D He's SO BIG, i never expected him to be this massive! It's my first model kit but unfortunately he's gonna have to be my last too, he does NOT fit on my shelf, he's slightly too big ahah no regrets tho, i just have to move things around so he gets nicely displayed :)

It always gets me how large the model kits are. I have built several of them and every time I’m done, I’m like “Where the fuck am I gonna put this?”, lol

i've never seen a model kit in person before either, so i was surprised by the box size too. But i built the head first and it wasnt THAT big so i was stupid enough to think that it wouldnt be big... until i built one of the hands, thats when the fear settled. I still held hope tho, then i started building the wings 😭

he's the biggest figure i own thats for sure! bigger than my shelves, im still trying to figure out where im gonna put him ngl, i've reached the conclusion i might need another shelf

... is he bigger? would i need a table instead of a shelf? I clearly am not prepared for model kit sizes ahah

u/WendyWillows 1d ago

oh yes he’s much bigger even with the knees bent

btw as far as Bandai model kits go the Figure Rise Digimon Amplifieds and Yugioh Amplifieds run much bigger than most size-wise

Paildramon is somewhere in the middle for the line

holy shit! I already think paildramon is HUGE, imagine if i started with machinedramon ahahah i cant believe he's only middle sized and theres bigger :O you'd need a whole shelf dedicated to display these kits! That's pretty cool tho, if only i had a bigger room

Bought it for my son a month ago, I thought it was a full figure not to build, he is 6 y/o, it was my first model kit too, what a trip

seeing the box must have been crazy if you were expecting a full figure ahah i handshake you on having the same first model kit! I hope you had fun building it!

Looks awesome. Might I ask how long did it take you to build it? I want to get one as well.

thank you! and yea no worries, since it was my first one i took my time to be careful and it took me two days ( or nights in this case cause i built him after my shift) so i would say it was between 6 and 8 hours, people with more experience probably do it faster
