Two posts in a day! Now I'm hyped up! I'll try to breeze along this review. This kit just didn't leave an impact on me. I'm in anguish waiting for my RG kits. Hopefully by next week I can have my goodies. Starting up front Side. Pardon the dusty finish. It fell while applying top coat :( Back Close up Some "action" poses. Sad to say, without any open hands or closed fists, I really can't do anything dramatic with this kit. Boo! Coolest part in my photoshoot below: NENA LET'S DOCK! YOKAI! ANIKI! *Chaching* PSSHHHH.. SHIN EEE!!!! Pros: Easy and fun to build No assembly cures Cons: If poseability is what you're looking for, look elsewhere One of the newer kits but still did not come with different sets of hands Minimal armaments -- I mean ZERO! Does not have any sort of gimmicks This kit is hideous BUT, the unit was not designed to actually have any kind of specialty. It simply acted as a support for Eins and Zwei in the se...

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...
