Last Saturday i went to one of the famous bootleg seller in divisoria with a budget of only 1000 pesos. while at the store i have been bargaining with the famous "Ate Rechelle" that i wanted 2 MG kits with my budget. She immediately pull out some kit and was telling me that i can have 2 MGs with Wing Series. I don't want this kits because i have some kits in my mind, but unfortunately the kits that i wanted will cost more than a thousand, and they don't have stock for the other kit.
After some time arguing with ate rechelle, i have decided what i want to buy and got myself 2 kits, a 1/100 MG Shin Musha and 1/144 HG Geara Zulu (angelo sauper use).
For the first time i bought a Mono-eyed kit!! |
The next day i was so excited and started to do a snap-build of the Geara Zulu. I'll be showing my wip and some review about this awesome kit that i got.
Gundam Exia is jealous cause his not yet complete, and i'll be doing Zulu First |
This is how i build my kits!! scatter all the way!! hahaha |
First of all, this kit was made by Daban, one of the famous bootleg brands.
Head
I like the color separation of this kit, it brings out the detail of the tubes. The mono eye can be moved left to right, depends on how you want to pose your kit. There is also a sticker provided to be mount on the upper left side of its helmet.
Torso
This part has lots of sticker, specially the chest plate. Unfortunately, the stickers provided by Daban is very poor and wont stick. you'll keep on pushing the stickers to stick. I was thinking of detailing the chest plate with Sharpie, but for now, i'll settle with the stickers.
Arms
The articulation of the hands are good, but as i was complaining, the part which has sticker always peel off.
As a HG, i like the way they separated the colors for each part, specially the part with spikes. I have tried to use Sharpie Silver Metallic to replace the round stickers, and i think i like it!!
Waist
This part is the most basic one, put on the center piece then put on the skirts, viola!! its done!! I also tried using Sharpie with this part, and unlike the sticker that doesn't stick, the sharpie's effect is nice.
Legs
The leg part was awesome!! while building this part i decided to detail it with Sharpie. Used Silver Metallic for the linings, and Bronze Metallic for the thrusters
oooops!! i slipped with that silver one T_T |
Weapons
It only include one weapon, the long rifle that can be hold by a single hand on the left and right side, or by both hands on the 2 trigger, a shield that can be folded, and a cool design of the backpack with a long tail like that i don't know what it is for. (i forgot to include a picture of the weapon and the backpack)
Overall, this kit was really awesome!! The articulation and color separation was superb for a high grade kit. And for a bootleg, the quality and color of the plastic is almost perfect, but the stickers is so bad and wont stick.
