以太精卫 x 玄华宫 - 炎枫

 This is a Chinese style Mecha. Initially I was attracted simply by it's design, simple as that. While the overall fitting n flow of the building I believe could have been better, i absolutely enjoy the experience. It serve as a fresh breath for it's different style of assemble procedure; though some might consider them as flaw or imperfection.

Probably the main complaint i have is the purple parts. If I were doing painting on this kit, I would being cursing as it is made of soft vinyl which makes it extremely hard to sand to perfection, and paint to grab hold onto it.

Lucky, I m doing this as a zero paint project XD

SNAA Blade King 刃皇

 Zero painting, pure enjoyment!!! This is a kit from a China company branded as SNAA.  

Again, it is super duper similar to Gundam; more like a modeler's modified work of a gundam for GBWC. Lol. Ok, photos below:








Personally, what attracted me to build this kit is basically the two katana-like sward at the back. I really think those are cool :)

Overall build is smooth. Instructions are clear n organized, fitting is good.

All I did were just snapfit the kit, clean up the nub marks, decal, some option metal parts, decals, and top coat. The result? Pretty cool i think; as long as u dont look at it too close XD

Happy modeler, is who I am 

Howling Star - Nebula 哮星 - 星云

 Is 2024. Is another kit i considered "completed without painting.

Ok, photos first, words later.









This kit is definitely a fresh breath amongst other China made model kits that looks a little to much alike to Gundam. Overall, the building process is kinda smooth too.

As usual, in terms of chemical, I only put flat top coat. Other stuff are just decal, some metal transfers n metal option parts.

Overall, the structural design n details are a little overdone too, which is perfect for OOB or zero-paint build just like this, but it will be pretty challenging for modification. The most important thing now to me is a smooth and enjoyable build; with a completed kit that is quite eye pleasing.
