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!

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 Freedom - Review

First plan with this kit was to finish it as simple and as fast as possible. Sucking at panel lining, immediate change of plans to remedy the fugliness it turned out. Inspired by kits with dirt, wear and tear, and realism, I ventured in dry brushing hoping to hone my modelling skills (sure). And of course, fix the clusterfuck it has become. Thus I present, FREEDOM! Happy with the weathering but still needs a bit of polish on some parts are too busy or too "clean" Accessories Wings are a sight to behold Real Grade open hatch feature. Minimal but an effective kick Weather on the skirts and feet are perfect IMO. Glad I was able to pull it off :) Dim with the shot of the thrusters but the details on them are well put My only Kira figure. Does not project as action-y as I would like but oh well... Aaaaand ACTION! One man army is here there's nothing to fear Pew pew pew!
