HG 1/144 Grimgerde Review

Review on HG 1/144 Grimgerde





Greetings


Alright, Hi Everyone!!!

I am back for updating my blog with the upcoming review on a recent release HG kit which is Grimgerde from Iron Blooded Orphans. First of all, every gundam anime will have a character wearing mask and it's usually is the protagonist of the series. Am sure that everyone will have at least a favorite of  protagonist form one of the Gundam Series. 

For me Mcgills Farred is one of my favorite character from the Iron Blooded Series and the way the character development makes me feel that he's neither good nor bad. But he has his own justification and so on. Not only the character, i also like the suits that he rides on which i have collect both 1/144 & 1/100.

So little about the suit, it's was built upon using the Valkyrie Frame at the end of the calamity war. Building on using the frame make the suit light and able to combat fast which can move as fast as Ninja. Hehe, cool right?

Alright, guess enough of the babbling, let's continue on the review. 


Review

This is a simple kit to build and cost only 1200 yen. Well not only that, the kit is quite detail which's a surprised me while i was building it.Among the Iron Blooded Kits that i have build so far, this kit can be consider quite details in terms of  panel line. Not sure about you, and well to justify what i wrote, below are the photo shoots






















It's maybe hard to see in photo due to the color of the kit. Would be good that you can see the actual product.

Next up will be some action pose:




















Cool??? Haha

The bad point that i notice about the kit is, it's not very stable, and probably is because of the upper body weight which you may find trouble it you want to make the kit stand still. Just use an action base instead. Also, there's no extra pair of hand which is nice to have it. This would make the kit to have some dynamic and feel post.

Weapons















Well for weapons, it's simple, 2 swords, rifle and 2 shields which equipped on the arms. -_- !!!

Review score and comments

I would give a score of 8.5/10.

Compliment
  • Easy to build
  • Quite Detail for a HG Kit
  • Paint job is easy due to separate parts
  • Good for customization  
  • Value for money 
Critics
  • Stable issue
  • No extra pair of hands
Hope you like this review,

Feel free to give comment & always looking for room to improve.

Thank you all ^^

SD Mimi tryout project & SD Zero Gundam Review

Mimi Tryout Project & SD Zero Gundam Review



Greetings

Hi Everyone !!!,

I am back for blogging. Apologies for the long delayed and hope that you will forgive me. To compensate, i have a post ready for your perusal which is a work that i have done recently.

A mini SD Gundam tryout project which feature the SD Zero Gundam & i would say that overall, it's a very fun and easy build. Most important thing is; Enjoy & feel Satisfied.

Alright, so let's continue.

Mimi Project & Review

Below is the picture of the kit which is SD Zero Gundam and i have done some tryout colors customization:


 

Not too far from the original color scheme. How you find it??? :)

Apart form that, the kit is easy to build and painting friendly if you know what i mean. Just be tactful when dealing with the small parts.

Next up is a mountain scene that i have tried out:

When comes to mountain, all i think of is this color -_-


















How was it? One mistake that i learnt from is, i did not apply primer on the mountain which causing some color defection i would say (haha, anyhowly form words -_-!!!) Well, should have painted it with black primer so a word of advice for everyone, if you are working on a mountain scene like mine, remember to prime it before actual paint it. Hehe

Lastly, overall presentation:


This work title is Knight in the Mountain which is about this knight traveling around the mountain to look for worthy opponent.

Review

Compliment

  • Easy to build
  • Comes additional accessories
  • Articulation are alright (Don't expect it to move like HG)
Critics 
  • Some parts may separate out for easy painting
  • Cape is a bit lose probably due to the weight 

Hope you like this short review

Feel free to give comment & always looking for room to improvement.
