I sort of lost track of this build for several months. I&#8217;m pretty good at starting new kits and losing track of them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m inserting Wave&#8217;s ball joints to add better articulation for the shoulders and the hips. While this kit does have plastic-on-plastic swivel joints, Adding ball joints should improve mobility and allow the legs to be splayed for more natural poses. I&#8217;ve sanded down the dome-shaped protrusions and intend to replace them with Wave H-Eyes lenses. I&#8217;ve also taken a mold of the mono-eye. I plan to cut out that plastic, attach the mold, and backfill it from the inside with clear UV resin. I did this with the old Bandai\/Imai Q-Rau kit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I thought that I&#8217;d buy some more of these Wave ball joint sets, but when I looked online I saw that several of them are sold out! I can still get the BJ-05 set, and I ordered a couple from Yodobashi Camera. But I couldn&#8217;t find the BJ-04 and some other sets anywhere!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was a quiet weekend at home, and on Sunday while I was following the events of yet another attempted presidential assassination by the &#8220;tolerant left,&#8221; I finally got around to resuming work on my old 1:100 Glaug kit I started working on last summer at the in-laws&#8217; place while on vacation.
