UNBOX-ING EXPERIENCE

My Straight Built MC Model 1/144 Hi-NU Evolve

I have slightly weather the top part (grey color part) because I mistaken that part for the color, because the given color has some marble effect, but I thought It was crack :(, but after the cover up using the dry brushing.. It just look good.

The top part of the body was nice and the parts really snap fit easily.

Lower front part of the body has perfect detailing. I was happy with blue sticker given by them :)

The lower back part of the body.. Looks superb detailing. I really love this.

The inside bottom part of the body detailing of the Hi Nu Evolve was also very nicely detailed, although it's not necessary to put lining into it but I want to make it as detail as possible if there're some close up shot on the model, the fine line detail can make the Gundam looks good.

I've added the fine chrome detailing and also some fine grey lining for the foot. I've also use hand paint Gundam silver color to do metal detailing for the dark grey part of the foot to make it more realistic.

More review will be done for the MC Model Hi Nu Evolve. Temporary was outstation with own job.

MSN-00100 (MSN-100, MSN-001) Hyaku Shiki - Full Review

MSN-00100 (MSN-100, MSN-001) Hyaku Shiki is a prototype attack use Mobile Suit from the Universal Century timeline. The unit was featured in Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam.

MSN-00100 (MSN-100, MSN-001) Hyaku Shiki

====================

Manufacturer: Bendi

Scale: 1/144

Series: HG

Origin: Hyaku Shiki

Price: RM12

Estimated Time Completion: 2 hours

Actual Time Completion: 3 Hours Used. (Done Include Panel Lining)

Inner Frame

- High Grade don't have Inner Frame

Joints/Articulation

- Joints are not in good positioning, some are very loose some are very tight

- Need to use Mr. Cement here & there to make the whole thing stick into places.

- Articulation is not good.. very limited.

Exterior Armour

- Plastic quality hard and need to do allot of trimming over the excess part.

- Snap-fit is impossible in most of the part.

- Firm and not easy to fit into.. broke quite a number of male peg, push in too hard into the female hole.

- Overall color is nice for the 24k gold color.

- After cutting out from the runner, I use Gundam Marker Metallic Gold to cover the nub mark.

- Overall I spend extra 1 hour to finish up the panel lining and waiting for the cement to dry.. I had used almost 50% afford using the cement for this kit.. some place was still unable to fit in properly so there's a gab in between..

Buying Recommendation

- If you are in a budget constrain, this is a good choice and with extra work

- If you are looking forward to painting and modding, do get this :)

- If you wish to do battle damage or burn this into pieces, go ahead and get Bendi :)

- But for sure I would still say this, DON'T EVER BUY BENDI! If just for fun, do get the cheapest 1 to play.. else you'll be shouting @#$%^&*() all the time you built it.

Cheers.

NG 1/100 Force Impulse Sword Silhouette Extra Finish Version - Full Review

It's been a while since I do my own review of the kit I've built, well.. today seems a very fine day to start my beautiful week.

Non Grade 1/100 Force Impulse Sword Silhouette Extra Finish Version

====================

Manufacturer: 高高模型

Scale: 1/100

Series: NG

Origin: Force Impulse Sword Silhouette Extra Finish Version

Price: RM60

Estimated Time Completion: 5 hours

Actual Time Completion: 5 Hours Used. (Done Include Painting + Panel Lining)

(More Pictures will be uploaded soon)

Inner Frame

- Non Grade don't have Inner Frame

Joints/Articulation

- Joints are very firm and good quality

- Articulation is just good enough for a Non-Grade

Exterior Armour

- Plastic quality hard and good.

- Snap-fit is done nicely.

- Firm and easily fitted into.. without much of the problem at all.

- Overall color is nice for it's extra finish, but some of the chrome silver part need to be repaint using Tamiya Chrome marker because if doesn't paint, it will look like worn out shadowing effect :) but it still nice as it is.

- The result for doing that, 1 word can be categorize for this kit was.. Marvelous!

Buying Recommendation

- If you are in a budget constrain, this is a good choice.

- If you are looking forward to painting and modding, do get this :)

- Seriously recommend this guy because it's 98% same as the original and if I'm not mistaken, the price for the original cost almost 1 1/2 more than the price of this kit.

- But for sure I would still say this, if you really have the money and still don't trust other brand than Bandai.. Don't buy :)

Cheers.
