MC HG 1/144 Hi-Nu Gundoom - Review

Too bad I was not able to take pictures of my WIP (Work In Progress).
Hmm... What can I say? I really love this kit and this is my first time painting one!

Ladies and gunpla meisters, I present to you: Hi-Nu Gundoom!

Looks pretty MEAN >:D


The level of detail with this kit is just awesome.


Close up pics




And now some DYNAMIC POSING:

If you look really close, the pistons on the legs which I painted gold really gives this kit more oomph!





WINGS OF LIGHT!! ~Ore wa GunDOOM-da!!





MESATSU!!!!


Pros:
Almost MG level of detail (sorta inner frame of legs, a bunch of panel lines, articulation, etc...)
GREAT quality
No fitting issues (very prominent in bootlegs)
Cool gimmicks (especially the sword combination)
Wings of Light (on Limited Edition only -- LE's have huge box)
Looks good out of the box
Waterslide decals baby!
Cheap (considering what you pay for, squeezing every penny's worth) :D

Cons:
Flimsy plastic (be extra careful when assembling)

This is a masterpiece from Model Comprehend indeed. It gives you a plethora of gunpla experience for its price. I would buy another this weekend and do a custom paint job. Trust me, it's worth every cent! A definite must have!

    it would be more than EPIC! (if there is more epic than epic lol)

    MC kits are a treat to build. I hope they do their own gundoom of version of strike freedom / destiny / quan[t]. imagining MC's creativity i just know they'll top!

QY SD Shining Gundam - Mini WIP, Assembly Cure and Review

It has been a while since the last time I blogged. Reality bites and I have to focus on the "more important things in life." Work, girlfriend, and of course going outdoors - a much needed "distraction" to regain my appetite for GunPla. In all honesty my interest has gone downhill and the promised TT Hongli MG Sinanju is nothing more of a plan than a work-to-be-done. There will always be the GunPla itch so I picked this teeneeweenee SD that caught my eye. Welcome to the club, Shining Gundam!! To start off, the box. Runners - 5 in total along with the polycaps Issue 01: See the yellow fin attached to the head? Don't force to plug it in. You'll only damage the plastic. Shave off the little opening to fully accommodate the fin. Repeat it on the other side. Issue 02: The usual suspect in QY kits. What I did was shave the male connectors with my hobby knife. Head done! Notice I used the foil stickers. It's not that I was too lazy to paint the eyes, b...

Bandai SD Zeta Karaba Assault - WIP 01

Coming from a competition really fired my GN Drives up! I am now onto my 1st WIP of 2012, SD Zeta! This 2-pack kit was actually bought before I even knew about the GFP competition. But G-SHOT and the 1/144 Challenge came along and the fun and excitement was too hard to pass up! I initially thought of doing Zeta in its accurate colors. Watching Gundam AGE really blew me and I fell in love with white MS's particularly seeing how the G-EXES pawns the UE. Right then and there I decided to try something different, something that I've never tried before (well, sort of). BTW, if you've never encountered the Zeta Karaba Assault it sorta looks like this ~ It is a limited edition color scheme of the MG Zeta V2. The Karaba Assault was piloted by the White Unicorn AKA Amuro Ray. (Photo above is NOT mine. Thank you GundamPH for the reference. Visit his site too. There are a lot of GunPla, mech, and other anime-related cool stuff there to see) Upon straight building this dude, I ...

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...
