Gold Plated Kits Solution

*****Gold Plated Kits*****


Hi Everyone,

How are you? Hope you are doing fine just as me :) Today's gonna write a simple review about a kit that i just done during my break. Guess you all know, It's HG MSN-00100 'Hyaku Shiki! Well of course you all know, cause above shows the Box Art of it.

One thing special about this kit is, it's an old kit and also the 1st Gold Plated kit ever release in HGUC which cost 1500 Yen as compare to other gold plated kits which are expensive nowadays.

Below are some Gold Plated kits:



One thing for sure, It's has the beauty of it and for people who like 'Bling Bling' stuff, i am sure every cent of penny you spend on it are worth it. Haha, Well let's go over to the kit that i build.

It's an old kit so don't expect much detail, articulation, etc. I had did some paint jobs on other part of the kits which gave a much better look.

Well, never did any editing, and the sparking effect is kind of strong. Wowwww!!! That's the pros of the the gold plated kit.

Now with the cons which many people will understand what i gonna said, which is Nub Marks and Seamlines: 

 

Solution 

To Prevent of getting obvious nub marks, you got be tactful when cutting the parts out and after cutting, use a craft/ modeler knife to remove it slowly and steady. Some of the parts will show the nub mark and best that you use a gold marker/ paint to cover it up. I used gold marker to highlight the marks.

For seamlines, you can't really do anything unless you want to repaint the whole kit. If not just leave it.

Overall, if you want to just do an out of box build over your break/ free time. Gold Plated kits may be an idea kits to build it. And after you build it, the blingness will grant you satisfactions ^^

 
Central of Attraction 


Well that's about it. At the same time of building Hyaku Shiki, Aside of that, i also worked on my Astray at the same time. This time round, I had paint the flight unit and added bit of modification to it. Do stay tune for the part 2 of Going on a Astray Path :D That's about it and wishing you all a good day :)
