TT_Hongli Si Ma Yi

Curiosity kills the cat. ehem. Got this kit out of curiosity. Been wondering how intricate the details on these line of series. My friend Jon "d spy killa" offered a trade for my 1/144 Wing Zero Custom with an Edward Elric fig (FullMetal Alchemist) plus extras. He included a Hongli Si Ma Yi. Yes its not Bandai, its TT_Hongli. Got excited for I can experiment and do what I want without regretting since this is a Hongli kit and it cost only 1/3 of the SRP of Bandai. Sacrificial lamb as I called it for the master of disaster will lay down the brush punishment to this poor kit. jejeje!

I want to build and paint this as close as the Bandai kit so I spent whole day planning what to do and how will I execute to get this one done. Enjoyed this kit so much that It took me hours and hours from preparation to painting. Even forgot to take a pic after I snap built it. jejeje! Hongli plastic is good and they fit well but nothing beats the orig of course. The stickers suck so I only used the one for the eye and discarded the rest. 

As usual, I want my SD's to look similiar with the box art as much as possible, so guys here's another "master disaster" kit  .. my first TT_Hongli painted kit....enjoy!

This is what the box looks like. Kewl aight! Another plus factor aside from it only cost $1.60, around 1/3 of the price of  Bandai kit, it came with a stand. Pretty neat! An action base is included and is tailored fit for this kit. 

Here's what the finished product looks like .. as Ive said the another victim.. another master disaster kit :) 

.: Display Case by Trumpeter :.

Been to STC again to look for some SD's. Instead of getting a kit, I got myself some display case by Trumpeter. Its on sale, buy 1 take 1 for $10. Heck, I cant let this opportunity pass!  

.: SD Sandrock :.

Another weekend .. another rushed kit. Too lazy to redo the panel lines due to hangover.. see the nose thingie.. awts!!  Sandrock got some booger! Maybe next time I'll do some retouch on this kit.

Got this kit from STC for $6. At first Im very hesitant to get this kit for there are lots of   SD's  to choose from. But since this is rare here in Manila, I decided to get it and plan to customize the color. After washing the runners with detergent and running water, I did spent the whole day sanding and sealing seamlines using Tamiya thick cement.

I cant wait to paint this kit, so with extra time last night I did some custom paint on it. Mixed paint here and there, spilled some thinner on our dining table (deym!) and tadaaaaaannnnnn .. another master disaster kit! excuse my shaky hand.. panel lines are bit off... ill fix this next time jejeje!

Heres the pic of the kit after doing some test fit and planning the color combi i'll use.

Here's the rest of the pics...

.: SD Group Pic :.

For the past couple of weeks in trying to buid my pending SD kits. For the meantime , heres a group pic of what I've built so far. I haven't got time to do some photoshoot on my older SD's. Too lazy to get 'em from my cabinet. jejeje!

.: MS-09 SD DOM :.

With the news that the MG Sinanju will be within my reach in a couple of weeks I got so excited and laziness kicks in today. The victim of the said laziness is the MS-09 SD DOM.

Snap built my SD DOM and slapped some paint here and there. Put on some additional panel lines and some water decals from my MG Unicorn. Voilà ... disaster!

I forgot to take a pic of the kit after I've snap built the parts. Anyways here are the pics.. enjoy!!
