TT Hongli HG 1/144 Throne Eins - WIP 02

Heads up for the readers: I've sold my devastated HG RX-78-2 30th Ed. BUT I pre-ordered my RG RX-78-2 and RG Char Zaku II (WOOOOT!!!). I hope the 2-3 week waiting could amp my GunPla blood which is on a frenzy lately. I just can't find the kick to put my usual effort into my works :(

I remember my Hi-Nu Gundoom which I put a lot of heart into. Then there's the Exia Ignition Mode which I spent generous amount of my time painting and detailing the dude (which is, by the way, also sold..... WTF was I thinking.... more on this next time T_T)

To put it simply, I can't find the time into GunPla anymore :(
Not that I will leave GunPla, it's just not one of my top priorities right now. I've decided to halt my MG plans for a while and focus on the cheaper but cool 1/144 kits which require less effort than the Master Grades.

I just know deep inside me when I find the passion (and money) to purchase at least one of my MG wishlist - Sinanju, Unicorn, EW's, and Epyon - would bring back my hunger and thirst for more GunPla challenge.

Rambling aside, here's the surprisingly awesome kit WIP part II: Throne Eins

Gun assembly was a breeze and didn't find any issue here

Notice I've painted a couple of parts here. The lower part was spray painted gray and those white touch ups were hand brushed

Arms were also great and no assembly cures are required

Putting all the finished parts

Aaaaaand..... That's about it for now :p

Yeah, I've spent a mere 30 mins for this day to finish those. Assembling this kit is a treat since I only had one assembly cure so far. The rest was a breeze and it snaps and fits pretty nicely. I wish I was a bit faster though, but anyways, at least I am making progress.

TT Hongli MG 1/100 Exia Ignition Mode - Review

Assembling bootleg kits can be a pain at times but this MG Exia Ignition Mode was a breeze. I was surprised from the fact that 90% went well and the other 10% were minor fixes - from shaving male connectors to gluing parts. I really enjoyed assembling my first Master Grade (I was hoping it was Bandai, my wallet was not cooperating as expected lol). Action! G...Gu...Gundaaaaaam!!!!!!!!!!! GUUUUNDAAAAMU!!! Ore wa........... Ore Wa Gundam-da!! Exia exterminating target............... Graham: Ike, Setsuna! Live and unlock the future! More swords Setsuna? Target exterminated! Joining the bunch :D Pros: Assembling is pretty easy for a bootleg Build is sturdy It came with LEDs! Cons: Joints are too stiff (for my liking, anyways, it made the kit solid though) Swords at his wait does not fit the peg in the hand Exia Repair parts does need half of the non-Repair head. (didn't bother with the transformation) The Exia Ignition Mode is a must have! I'm really g...

Photobucket has kidnapped my photos and I'm too lazy to re-upload and update every bit. It's been worthwhile. I'm intending to start a new blog that is more "personal" than just focus on one part of my hobby. Looking at my older posts, I can fairly say I've improved on my toy photography (and English!) in which I am thankful for this space as a medium to share my work. Thank you for reading up to this part! Cheers for 7 years!

Bandai RG RX-78-2 Gundam - Review

The much anticipated (and delayed) review of my RG RX-78-2! I broke the chest piece when I was applying some finishing touches on the kit. Crap it was a nightmare! When the piece snapped into two I couldn't hold back and yelled NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! That serves another lesson for me. Never EVER force yourself into working with half-assed consciousness. Weeks came by and I was able to get in touch with someone who has a spare RG RX-78-2 kit. Viola, my kit is RESTORED! Onto the review, here's the RX-78-2 in its Real Grade Excitement Embodied glory Ah, the Real Grade. Stressing color separation. The attention given to the details of RG kits is just plain awesome! The different shades of white, red, and blue is fantastic. Showing off some articulation here, kneeling poses are a bit better than the RG Char Zaku. Goes to show that top notch engineering with a mini-skirt design Gundam works! That's Amuro by the way :p Will paint...
