Decided to do the “entire” inner frame first. My only other finished RG, Exia, I didn’t do this and I was curious if building the frame right off affected anything.

You just soak the parts in it for at least a couple of hours or sometimes over night. Then you give them scrub and the finish should come off.
Updates so far….built up with just the main structures. Will take it all apart later to add details, putty, and paint. Fingers in a bit of pain from all the parts trimming.
I have to get started early since I will be gone in mid Feb until May. The one on the right the is actual kit, while the one on the left is another two I am painting.
