MG Hyakushiki Complete

Since part one and part two already discuss from box art to the detail and articulation of this kit, maybe i should wrap up the modification description here. From the first photo, it doesn't show much different on the modified but may be the second photo will. The painting process for this time was quite easy but it still require two painting session for me to complete the entire painting process due to the heat from the compressor. Here is the paint list used on this kit:

-Mr.Surfacer 1000 as the base

-Dark blue (combination of Mr.Color Character blue, Mr.Color Metallic Blue and Mr.Color Metallic Black)

-Blood red (Mr.Color Metallic red)

-Silver (Mr.Metal Silver Chrome)

-Black (Mr.Color Metallic Black)

-Panel line on the pipe ( Tamiya Enamel Dark Blue)

These are the paint i need to complete this project, quite simple isn't it. The color scheme that i used was almost same from the manual. The only part i changed was the hydraulic pipe in the legs which i painted with red and silver and the thrusters on the back pack with silver. I'm using Tamiya enamel dark blue this time as for panel in those red color pipe. For me, it was a new method since i use airbrush spray directly to those pipe and use wash method to achieve the result show in the picture (number 8 from top). I learn this method from Youtube which show modelers from Japan which their work also features in Dengeki Magazine and Hobby Magazine (there are lot of techniques that i finally have the tools to learn and practice about it). I will try to show as much video as i can into here later.

I do mentioned that this kit is hard to pose or create dynamic shots for photos and yes it is (for me). The solution i have by not putting on heavy modification to make this model kit look dynamic in the photo is by using a wide-angle with close distance focus lens but not only that, the waist joint plays important role to make it look the action look more dynamic. Wide angle with close distance focus lens can stretch the object in the photo look longer if you have camera with wide-angle lens and the effect will be more stronger with wider angle lens. It also will help for making the object posing in the photos look more dynamic. Too bad i only have the  18-55mm wide angle lens which have the film format equivalent to 28mm focal length and the closest range for the lens to focus is about 25cm away. My only solution (other than changing the lens) is to crop the photos.  

Alright, enough for the words and let pictures tell the rest:

1/144 HGAW Gundam X Divider Review

The 1/144 High Grade After War Gundam X Divider is the second of the HGAW line, following the Gundam X. Code named GX-9900-DV, this divider-equipped mobile suit is part of the Gundam X series, and is kit number 118 in the High Grade line.

Contents of the box includes:

-(Foil) sticker sheet

-Polycaps

-8 Runners (A, B, C1, C2, D, E, F, G)

This kit is basically the same as the Gundam X kit without the satellite cannon.

Additional weapons and accessories includes:

-Beam machine gun

-Large beam swords x2

-Hyper bazooka

-Divider shield with built in beam harmonica

-Closed fists x2, trigger hand, open palm

One thing that particularly stands out for the this Gundam X Divider is the color separation for the parts. In older high grade kits, painting is required to make the kit look good. But with the X Divider, there are 8 different colors separated individually. Only minor painting is required for the more detailed location such as the chest vulcans, panel lines, and details on the weapons and shield.
