@cuddlyanarchist That seems like a fun kit. I've only done one Master Grade so far (Z'Gok), but I've heard good things about *most* of the Ver. Ka kits. I actually have the Zeta Gundam in reserve waiting for me to feel like I've gotten good enough to build it.
I know with a lot of HG kits I'll build from the feet up, because it is more satisfying for me to have something that can support itself immediately. With hard/complex kits I always fall back on following the instructions exactly, though.
