In addition to correcting the spike fringe parts&#8217; alignment with each other, I also wanted to sink the spike fringes deeper into the pauldron&#8217;s surface, making them more like bumps in the surface of the pauldron instead of the much more prominent and distinct features that I&#8217;d made them. I was a little worried that pulling the shell off might break it or that I&#8217;d lose the ability to check it against the guides, but it worked out.<\/p>\n<a href=\"\/model-data\/1_100_Zaku_Kai\/zakufz_20220223_pauldron_disassembly.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/model-data\/1_100_Zaku_Kai\/zakufz_20220223_pauldron_disassembly_thumb.jpeg\" title=\"I was a bit nervous about pulling the shell off - I was afraid I might break something or lose the ability to align it properly.
