FINALLY got the blog post about the HMM Storm Sworder up. King Liger pics tomorrow. Sorry, but I really wanted to get this done, and today was the first time in at least a month that I even had enough sunlight to snap the pics. roboshopblog.wordpress.com/2018/02/11/hmm-storm-sworder/

Sweet! Yeah, Koto "silver" looks awful. I love your solution, and the weathering really makes it look like one tough bird!

The first time I did a full repaint on a Koto kit was the Death Stinger last year, and honestly, the reason was basically because the metallics looked so fugly. In fairness, even Bandai's gold and silver plastic usually doesn't look that great (the Hyaku-Shiki 2.0 being the obvious exception), but Kotobukiya's is just a swirly, marbled mess.
Then again, I'm almost glad sometimes when something's obviously too ugly to leave unpainted, because then I'm not tempted to get lazy, ahem.

Update today, by the way, but it's just an OOB build review of an HG Gundam kit. It just... happens to be an HG that I really like.

What's your opinion on the latest batch of kits coming out from bandai? I dunno, to be honest. I don't watch Build Fighters, and I don't build a lot of HG kits, although whenever I do, it reminds me that I should build more of them because they're really fun. I did preorder the new version of the Grimoire because it looks really cool and I love the original versions, but I'll probably skip the others. Too much backlog as it is. As a rule, I'd be wary of buying HGBD/BF kits before seeing reviews - some of them are old kits with just a few additional or different parts slapped on them.

LOL yea that's very true there, i think the last HG i built from Buildfighters was the Wing Gundam Fenice Reniscatta. Overall not a bad kit just stupid complicated with the leg assembly but overall not bad. The only one i've seen that's impressed me from the new series is the AGE. The others..ehh. I agree with backlog issues, back when i still had my appartment etc i had a healthy sized backlog and still had nerve to buy more kits

I just remembered, I also have the Reversible, but who knows when I'll get around to building it... I'm right in the middle of painting the PG Strike and a Mechanicore kit right now, so, uh, yeah.

Nice display! I wish I had shelves more like that. Maybe someday. Some real nice Zoids in there!

Love my PK, but still wish I had the OJR version! Say, mine had the most fragile plastic red on earth ... did you have any of that kind of thing with yours?

Say, mine had the most fragile plastic red on earth ... did you have any of that kind of thing with yours? Not that I remember, but it's been years since I built it... I think it was mostly just a little too soft for its own good, like the NJRs in general.
