hey guys I just spray painted my mg sinanju ova. one question I had was when I was putting it all together again I broke the waist peg. I just sanded it down filled in the hole, and drilled in a metal rod so I could turn the waist. does painting cause the plastic to be more brittle?
The spray paint has nothing to do with it, the MG Sinanju’s waist peg is notorious for snapping if it goes on at a slight angle. So don’t worry, it’s an issue with the kit itself, you’re doing fine.
well in reality some paints and thinners do make the plastic more brittle (chemical reaction) but that peg again has issues of its own. Enamel paint/thinner for one in enough quantities can be quite deadly on ABS plastics.
Sinanju OVA ver. or Ver. Ka? I’ve watched reviews and comparisons but I am still having trouble deciding which one I want to buy so I thought I would ask your guys’ opinions. Thanks
Basically it boils down to you wanting a bazooka or wanting heaps of decals. Also if you find that you often break frame pieces (eg. pegs) then the OVA may be the one for you due to it’s flexible polystyrene frame rather than the ver.ka’s solid ABS.
