HGUC 1/144 ORX-005 Gaplant TR-5 [Hrairoo]

Bad spraying for the blue color which caused the surface to be rough. Plus bad planning in the sequence of color. The rough surface caused huge problem when applying the 2 large decal (silvering), plus this is the first time I'm applying water decal
1. Lesson learn, surface not smooth, sand and do it again
2, Base color first, don't be lazy in masking
3. Gloss coat before decal
4. Semi gloss coat after decal or else the decal edges can be seen after a flat coat

BB Senshi Sangokuden - Shuuyu Hyakushiki - Part 2

BB戦士 三国伝 - 周瑜
Version 2 of BB Gundam joint mod. The elbow joint is much better, but the upper arm is too thin
Leg joint have improve, but the joint to the lower body is fragile.
Front skirt mod is loose and sanding is not flat on the innerside
Side skirt i did not properly estimate the movement angle, in the end the movement is very limited
Another major mistake is i did not sand the hand hole bigger, after posing, it scratches off the paint on the weapons.
This is also my first time trying the marble effect on the shoulder and forearm armor, very please with it.
Overall took a long time to build but quite satisfy with the result.

BB Senshi Sangokuden - Shuuyu Hyakushiki - Part 1

After Lu Bu, this is my 4th BB kit with joints. I can say this is joint mod version 2
Not satisfy, as alot of error due to poor planning and estimation and worksmanship.

  1. Added elbow joint, but feel that the upper arm is too long.
  2. Knee joint, should use a smaller joint
  3. Moveable side skirt, bad estimation and work cause the skirt cannot move higher
  4. Moveable front skirt, ok, but feel its a bit too thick
  5. Moveable hair using ball joint, happy with it.
