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.

First 00 Gundam & first customized

  



My first customized gundam kit. Likewise I would say it's my first gundam kit as well. For a newbie, it's not that I'm bragging what I posted here but I'm just honestly proud of whatever I have customized to my 00 raiser. It took me sometime in pondering if I gonna purchase this gundam kit. I have been an avid follower of the 00 Series from the Seed Destiny Series. And now I'm hooked in the Unicorn Episodes. I have just finished watching the  episode 3. And now I am eagerly awaiting the succeeding episodes to come.

Customisation took me a lot of time with my imagination in what type of paint to be used, color combination, preparations, etc. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to picture the procedures I have made just like from other sites that showed the way they assembled their kits because I was quite anxious if what I will do will be enough or okay. To give further detail, I used acrylic spray cans. The limbs which I really like, have a combination of two (2) paints. It's a combination of gold sparkle and graphite finish. Having the graphite applied first and while it is wet I sprayed on the gold sparkle in order for it to react with graphite - giving it a so called gold-carbon finish look! The rest, blue and red, are also sprayed on with my graphite finish.

So there you go.... in my next posting, I'll explain in further how I accomplished such customization. But for now, all the photos below are all raw images and are unedited! - no photoshop here or whatever photo effects and tricks.
