HG GN Archer

I got this kit a few months back, and there it was sitting in my room, I sort of found it again after I had stuff it into one of my older finished kit box, I had used the bigger box to store some of the smaller kit boxes, like the SD ones...and this kit too. It was right at the bottom of the box ^_^;

So since I had left this sitting for too long, and I had nothing else to do this holiday...I started assembling this kit.

It turned out...not as bad as I had feared, but not as good as I had hoped either.

Why?

When the finished model was sitting by the side of my MG gundam mk II...it looked tiny compare to it :P and I think that the 00 line of HG model are actually smaller than the HG model from other series, like the UC series, but I'm not sure, I need to double check it later on when I start on my UC HG kits.

I just assemble this kit, there's nothing else done on this kit yet. I need to give it a nice coat of paint...when I get the paints and time :)

SD Zeta



Ok done 1 of the SD that came in the 2 in 1 kit of SD i got :) As one can see, i left out all the stickers, the panel line and I only pretty much just assemble the little fellow.

Can't say I'm too happy about this kit though....the first thing i notice? it's a very old model...while the kit may be newly maded, it's design is at least a few year older...that or the older series have very simple SD design. The hand and leg, are only one part, which mean the legs....consists of just the foot ^_^;;

And there are a lot of empty spaces in the frame of the kit, guess I have a need to learn to used putty huh?

In short, to make this look good, I need to repaint it, cement the parts together, add some putty into the empty spaces, add the stickers and then panel line it...and then give it a glossy coat of topcoat.

So today I went to this store in Taman Putra today, mainly to search for colour sprays for my gunpla painting, sadly the shop doesn't stock on spray colour, they only have the bottle paint...but then again it wasn't a total loss, I got tempted to buy this...but in my defense, I've been searching for this kit too :)



The only thing i hate about this kit...is it's original colour scheme....look horrible doesn't it? If it was assemble straight, I'm sure this would look more like a cheap toy than a model to be display ^_^;

This kit is definitely on my list of kits to be colour customize
