Global Scale Modeller

Looks like I'll be the second Efreet in this SiG but I don't mind, should be interesting to see how that turns out. I'll be doing a straight out of the box build. I will paint it close to the original color scheme but I'll add some variation using the Gunze mecha paint sets.

The impressive box-art:


Stuffed to the brim:


Some shots of the sprues:




The markings on the right are stickers, not decals unfortunately


I will do a full build of the kit and then disassemble it for painting, it gives a good idea of the visible areas and whether or not filling and sanding will be needed. Sometimes I cut or sand a bit off of a locating pin in order to make disassembly easier, as is seen here:


And here's the assembled head and torso. Not my favorite colour scheme but it's starting to grow on me.


First impressions: Not too complex, great fit and not too many gate marks to deal with. This would be a great starting kit if you want to take your first steps into the world of Gunpla.

To be continued!

Very nice indeed

Just gonna be throwing my popcorn around tonight!

As I said in the other Efreet thread, it's a kit that grows on you even if you don't like it at first. Just something about it. Also GREAT value for the money from the looks of the packed box

In terms of pure looks I think these RE/100 can compete with a lot of Master Grades, especially the older ones. The difference with the older 1/100 High Grade kits is huuuuge! Downside is no inner frame and the joints aren't very tight. Might go for a fixed pose with this one, but we'll see.

It`s a great kit matey, cant wait to see each stage and what you do with it.

yup yup yup, great looking kit, i can see one in my future.
