Deathscythe Hell Custom HG-The Review

Here is a jump to my 3rd gunpla. Not posting yet about my second one which I finished almost a month ago, I think there are some quite interesting details which I will discuss later on my next blog. I haven't had the time to post anything for quite such a long time since my 00 Raiser. But for now, here is the menacing Deathscythe Hell Custom from the Endless Waltz movie piloted by Duo Maxwell. From my experience of assembling gunpla kits of the 00 gundam series, I would say there are a lot of flaws that I have seen in the joints, articulation, and panels of the parts in this High Grade from way back 1998. I can easily compare for example like the knee articulation alone that even the No Grade version of the 00 series beats this HG. The knee cap  exposes the joint way too deep. It separates from the movement of the joint. Unlike from the 00 Raiser the knee armor cap goes along with the movement of the joint.  Nonetheless, it's a point of interest to anyone who would make kits from the Wing series.

But anyway, a positive thing about this kit is its look and peculiarity. Some may say its awkward because of its bat wings look a like. But personally, I find it unique and creative for the designer of this kit to conceptualize and produce this in the 90's much more so if it is an MG. I added only a few details for this kit. I put stainless cylinders on the shoulders, drilled  holes on the panels, coil overs at the sides of the abdomen- these customisations I will discuss on my next blog. Paints are spray cans and gunmetal.

Poseability 6/10

An HG kit way back a decade ago from the Wing's EW movie. Fair enough to have its poseabilityquite limited before the advent of the more advanced No-grade and HG kits nowadays.

Excitement 7/10

I had excitement taking photos! I would say the kit is photogenic. The shots are somewhat terrifying to look at!

Design 6/10

The design is unique of all the gunpla concepts I have seen but the quality is not yet good at that time. How about building an MG version?

Weapons 5/10

No significant weapon. Only the scythe. But of course it has its awesomely unique wings.

Detail 3/10

Hmmmm....let's forget about it. Maybe the MG version has a better one.

 Lastly, here is a preview of my second gunpla- the Astraea Type-F!
