Neon Genesis Evangelion - EVA 02 Non scale model kit

EVA 02 Non scale/Construction kit Japanese import by Wave, A making of photo gallery:-





The box design looks good despite the text i don't understand a single word of.
The box is pretty heavy on 1st inspection, however this is mostly due to the
amount of waste plastic included within. I'd say around 60-70% that needs
to be cut off the piece parts. 


The instructions are pretty good and easy to follow despite them being in
a foreign language. This includes the sticker positions guide.

As you can see it looks to be a huge amount of plastic here but since this
was my 1st build kit of this type i wasn't sure what to expect to be honest.


Above in the left picture is the bag of waste/ removed plastic... So far. 
The parts all have to be cut free from the moulding material, I guess this means your
finished item will only be as your crafting skills when building these types of kit (be aware). 


More piece parts:- "A FOOT"

Construction is underway, body parts assembled first. 

Arms are together - minus the hands at this stage.


Yes i propped the legs up on whatever was to hand, in this case the tin opener!
"I might make this a AFChat feature... spot the tin opener in my posts" 

Gun assembly... need i say more? 

Now for final assembly

Presto, EVA 02 is built. It stands 6.5" Tall (It just took me 5mins to find the
tape measure so i hope you appreciate this little fact)






Above:- you can see the sticker sheet and the finished weapon assembly.
Im guessing you can leave the arms and legs articulated on these models, however
they seem do have a tendency to fall off ALOT, if left this way. The stickers seem pretty good
quality with a plastic coat finish, although a few don't seem to have enough stick
to them so a dab of glue may be required later.



Shelf time. There she stands Eva 02.




And im done for today thanks for checking out AFChat.
