TT Hongli HG 1/144 Throne Drei

TT Hongli HG 1/144 Throne Drei - WIP 02

Alrightyroo! After a long week, finally it's time to finish this dude.

No problem assembling the arms

Snapping it to the finished body. Again, notice the orb is masked for protection from flat top coating later

Detailed the fins a bit

Legs too was a breeze so moving on here...

Skirts have no problems. Assembling swiftly now :)

My laughable attempts at hand painting. Learned that thinner is essential to prevent brush strokes. Patience is the key. Enamel paints painstakingly dries pretty long (around 30mins to an hour). After the first coat, let it sit and do 3 more.

1st coat

2nd coat - notice there are still hollow areas so wait for it to dry and do another 2.

..and the results are worth it. For me anyways.

Drei's shield. Almost done and STILL NO ASSEMBLY CURES! Yay! :)

Another shield

Detailed the feet. Hand painted the black and used a Gold GM for the outline.

Backpack looks good

With his Epyon-ish wings

Clips snugly on the back. No gluing done here :)

His mini gun looks wicked. Too bad it's his only weapon

Stay tuned for the review of this kit!

Assembling Throne Drei was fun! TT Hongli made a kit again with no fitting issues. I love that because you get your money's worth when purchasing this stuff. Cheers!

SH Figuarts Rockman Zero - Review

Human and reploidkind's last hope: His name is ZERO....? Slide! Z-Saber GET Love the translucent piece L'Oréal ambassador Ryuenjin!!! ...is always followed by Hyouretsuzan If you're a Maverick and hears: Hoooooooo- Haaaaaaa- Hoooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!! Zero's fundamental 3-combo SLASH Triple Rod Looks sick! Shield Boomerang Super hero lan.... Ugh.... Buster Shot Pew pew pew Who am I...? Pros: Weapons Sculpt is spot on Cons: Articulation plenty but a bit restrictive compared to newer releases by SHF Rockman Zero builds on a new era from the X series. It brings BACK the fun of what the blue bomber and red slasher should be - the best side scrolling game in which the X7 and X8 failed to deliver. Rockman Zero was the sav...

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...

RIP Crimson Comet

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!
