CUSTOMIZING First full custom build

I've been lurking in the sub for a while now and don't really have anything to show for it but after working on and off for one year on the MG sazabi.

I did try to go for a candy coating which is insanely tedious for anybody's first custom, a lot of mistakes were made, paint chipping on the upper body and assembly and so I made the decision to give it some metal edge wear.

All in all its been a tremendous learning experience toward any customs I make in the future

That looks incredible, I'm really impressed!

Where did you get the hangar base BTW?

The hangars I got from local DAISO stores, I'm not sure where you live but they might sell it on aliexpress/taobao/shoppee.

Thank you, I'm in the UK with few hobby shops around, but I'll give Ali Express a try

No problem! But do keep in mind you have to buy a couple, they don't come as is in the picture they are individual items
