    Completed the mech of RX78-2. Feeling a bit defeated as some assembly didn’t turn out well. And I wonder if the problem is because this is the first Real Grade that Bandai has released. The gold and silver colors on the stickers seems to fade off rather easily just by rubbing your fingers against it. Some of the armor parts doesn’t fit as tight too as it starts to loosen up as I bend the arms and legs.
    My MK-II Titans felt so much more solid as compared to this.

    I still have the weapons to complete and the markings before this is finally done.

    • the metallic does seem rather fragile and it’s not just the first RG’s they all have that issue the biggest problems for me are the little copper bits at the elbows and sometimes knees depending on kit. the problem is they’re right by a moving part so the edge gets rubbed and that makes the sticker peel and then you have to press it down and that makes it rub off more. I generally just leave it be and say “meh” but I hear you can try putting down a clear coat over the sticker to help hold it in place, but a coat over a metallic is going to effect the metallic shine, still it’s your choice if you want to give it a shot
