Volks Non-Scale Tetsujin 28

Ok, a cheap haul from Mndarake during one of my trips to Japan. A very simple kit, considered non movable, but the proportion is good.

For this project, basically I go for all metallic finishing. The only challenging part is to have enough silver reflection at the same time to maintain vibrant, anime-like color tone.

One thing good about silver flake is, with the right amount, the finishing naturally looks semi gloss.

Btw, thank you Kitti of 3 raccoons for the photography work.

Some extra mood shot just for fun:

Aoshima 1/48 Techno Police 21C Road Ranger

This is one of the early kits after I have decided to take out all my long kept vintage and build them; yes, I have decided there is no point of keeping these so called vintage n let them collecting dust.

This is the road ranger, the vehicle for techno police 21c series, which frankly I was more interested in their robots than the car. However, when look at their robot kits,  i had a deep breath n put them back... hahahaha that's why, finally I have build this instead.

At least it comes with motor and i can play with it for a while XD

Think I bought it from Daya, a small mini market in ss2 pj. To my surprise, though being such an old kit, the fitting is actually quite good. The main problem, as usual, being the on/off mechanism; which I threw it away and put my own.

Other than that, is just sand, mask n spray.

Robotime: Wood Model - Steampunk Submarine & Rabbit

I must say these are 2 kits that I am asking for more when I have had done with them. I bought them from taobao and from my previous experience with other China wood model manufacturer, I wasnt having very high hope n that's why I was quite skeptical after seeing their relatively high price. (I am comparing to china made price, not European price; though if compared so, they r still dirt cheap)

Oh, I was so glad I was wrong!

These kits are very nicely made; besides that they come with white glue and a windup music box core.

Some wip pictures:

Packaging is pretty well done, very organized.

Good quality laser work and the instructions are pretty well made: clear n systematic

Comes with vacuum form transparent part which I would say is as perfect as it could be. Besides that, necessary tools like screw driver & white glue too.

The Rabbit

Overall I like the design, with movable parts when u play the music box, and some extra metal parts. Best, building is such easy n enjoyable n smooth.

Submarine


For someone who like multimedia parts in a kit, the metal chain for the anchor is definitely a plus point!!!!

Oh, I forgot to mention, the kits even come with a set of acrylic display case. I would definitely say these r value for money!
