GOBRICKS MOC 240204 Queen of the Monsters Mothra

I forgot to mention it in my earlier review: you also should add 4 additional tan round plates 1 x 2 (GDS-1403) in steps 29-31. The suggested 3L bars are too short to hold the bricks firmly in place without additional support. And if you replace the included 19 light bluish gray 2L pins used in the stand with trans-clear ones (GDS-892), it will look so much nicer.

Another MOC set with a sub-par instruction manual and a number of missing or replaced bricks. When you follow the instructions (provided as pdf download) to build Mothra you will find that parts of the stand are not (or badly) connected to the model. Two additional light bluish grey plates 1 x 6 should be added for stability (step 135). In addition, black wedge tiles 1 x 2 left/right (one each) are helping to fill gaps in Mothra's wings (steps 186/328). For the quality of the manual I deduct 1 star. But the greatest nuisance is the incompleteness of the brick collection. Some bricks are provided in a different color than originally intended or altogether omitted, because there is no Gobricks equivalent of the original Lego part. Here is the list of what you will need in addition to the provided bricks (I am using the Bricklink part numbers as reference): 1 x white 3661 replaced with a black one 2 x white 67928 replaced with 64647 2 x dark red 75c08 replaced with black ones 2 x reddish brown 85943 replaced with black ones 4 x reddish brown 56630 (Batman cape) missing 4 x dark tan 32174 replaced with dark bluish grey 60176 2 x dark orange 39739 replaced with red ones 1 x tan 86057 (Tauntaun horn left) missing 1 x tan 86058 (Tauntaun horn right) missing 2 x trans-brown 20612 missing 3 x light bluish grey 5852 missing In order to complete the model you will need to order additional Lego parts. Some of them are hard to find and quite expensive. I deduct another two stars for the incompleteness of the brick set. As a customer my expectation is that all bricks that I will need to build a model are provided. This is not the case here. After completing a number of MOC sets I have to concluded that completeness of a set is the exception. You should be prepared to spend money for additional bricks, usually those that are hard to get.
