RX-105 Xi photos

The RX-105 comes out much bigger than your typical 1/144 kit, much more like the size of a typical 1/100. That means there's enough scale to get in some pretty decent detail.

There's a lot of water slide decals you can put on the kit. I put all … Continue Reading ››

LBX Hyper Ifreet has got to be the kit that I've had the most fun with in ages. It's a lovely kit, well designed, great looking, not too small, good articulation and an amazingly fun build.

And effects parts! The fists of fire look great, although they're … Continue Reading ››

This is my first SD Gundam kit and I really enjoyed it. The colours of the paint didn't come out exactly as intended, but I'm not unhappy as the end result looks great.

There's a fair bit of masking to do on the kit, but it went … Continue Reading ››

Under normal light, we can see the details of this kit more clearly. Although not really designed to be painted, I'm pleased I added the purple details. The smoked plastic works well for this kit, but this does make it tricky to paint, for example where I avoided the stickers on the head "horns".Continue Reading ››

My kids had built a few LBX kits and had a lot of fun with them. I'd originally bought LBX Lucifer for myself just based on how it looks, but it got handed over to my eldest one rainy day to give her something to challenge her. She did a super job, and I was … Continue Reading ››

Silver Crow from Accel World: This will go nicely with the Black Lotus kit I made up the other week.

This week's challenge on Xi was white, and how to paint it. I've always found white paint a challenge in that it seems to show every imperfection, and as often you need multiple layers of paint to build up a decent white, that just amplifies the issues. I tried some different mixes of the Createx white … Continue Reading ››

Here's the frame all assembled. I doubt we'll see much of it, but I added some details in gold for fun, and gave the whole thing a nice flat coat which always works so well on top of Tamiya gunmetal.

The 1/144 RX-105 "Gundoom" arrived while I was building up Sazabi The Second. It's an interesting kit, so lets begin....

I didn't get the box so Hobbymate could keep the shipping costs down. The instructions have a good number of colour pages with nice photos of the … Continue Reading ››

I'll have to grab some better pictures of this little guy because he was rather a fun and quick build. I had to mask lots to avoid the use of stickers, and I carefully hand painted some of the smaller details. The light blue sections didn't come out as light as I'd have wanted and … Continue Reading ››
