Out of the Box - MG Gundam Sandrock EW

Here it is! , MG Gundam Sandrock EW from the Gundam Wing Series. Staright out of the box after I've snapped fitted it. I have to admit that I temporarily froze the work on my Unicorn "Ver Ka". It took the whole night to assemble the kit. I didn't put any decals yet since I will soon paint it anyway. And just a preview and I have to say, it has a pair of sexy but a "kick-ass" heat shotels. Plus its shield is awesome!

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.
