The REAL witch from Mercury

The REAL witch from Mercury | I got the Gundam calibarn!
Here are my thoughts on it; Finally, I'm making a Gundam review. Although this isn't even close to the oldest one I've been meaning to do, I'm doing it first anyway because I simply LOVE this kit; Please note that the open hand parts I use in this review are borrowed from the Mirasoul flight unit I got for the Gundam aerial. I'm thinking of getting another just for this; I've been pretty excited to get this kit, but I just kept forgetting until now, and after having built it and spent 4 hours panel-lining it... I can confidently say my excitement was justified! As you can expect from something that's almost completely white, it is a little plain before you panel-line it, but even then it still looks REALLY good. I'll put a comparison with pre and post panel-lining in comments. Anyway, articulation is pretty good just like the aerial and aerial rebuild which this is a little similar to, but the broom rifle as I'm nicknaming it can be a little inconvenient at times. My method for difficult poses with the broom rifle is to disconnect the little arm that attaches it to the backpack, then put it into position, then mess with the arm until it reconnects and looks right. Inconvenience aside, there's also an extra feature with this that kinda goes with the feet. The back of the broom rifle can open up to act as a MASSIVE booster, and if you point the toes and line up some grey parts on the back with them it enters the "high mobility" mode, which I imagine is pretty self explanatory. With both of these you can achieve some pretty interesting poses; One of the only things that disappointed me about this is the shield. It uses the EXACT same shield as the aerial rebuild, so it has ALL of the same slot connection points. Because of this you're limited to having it face the same way the arm is pointing ALL the time, unlike the original aerial who's shield can rotate. It may not seem like a big deal but sometimes it can vastly improve any guarding poses you try to make; I got the wfm weapon stands after I put the aerial rebuild in storage, and I honestly feel lucky that I did. These things were a nightmare. I'll mainly use these in armor or shield mode, but I did that with the original aerial anyway and that didn't even need 20 different adapters like this did. Speaking of armor, tha bit-on form is actually pretty nice! One of the things that I disliked about the aerial rebuild was that the bit-on form added almost nothing to the hip armor, but this fixed that and still added some bulk to the backpack. I think it's better than both the aerial and the rebuild's bit-on forms; The shield may not have been the best, BUT these shell units are really interesting. Just like the aerial and aerial rebuild there's a pre-molded one for the top of the chest unit (you still need the sticker for the bottom/front), but there's also a pre-molded part for the V fin. There is of course still the option to use the dark transparent pieces and black stickers, but who would want that when you can have the RGB Gundam? Jokes aside I really like the shell units, and especially the V fin, it's one of the more simple ones but the translucent rainbow colors make it one of the more unique ones; Definitely one of my favorite G-witch kits so far, 9.5/10 | image tagged in gundam review | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

It took two days and I regret nothing

It took two days and I regret nothing | I just finished the gundam barbatos alatus! Here's how it turned out; I honestly thought I wouldn't paint it that much, but I got a little carried away and I regret NOTHING. This is a combination of the high grade Gundam barbatos lupus, and wing Gundam zero. Even though the wing gundam zero has some pretty nice guns, I decided to make my own and save the buster rifles for my next custom (Gundam koneko); Not much to say here, just a cool flying pose; I was able to replicate the wing Gundam's transformation mechanism, but even though it looks pretty good in this image it isn't without issues. For example from the side it looks AWFUL. Here it is in a pose similar to my inspiration for this, I'll put a comparison in comments; And... I didn't realize I forgot to panel-line it until after I took all of those pictures. So here's one with it panel-lined because I don't feel like taking all of those again | image tagged in blank white template,gundam review | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

This thing is held together by epoxy, model cement, and hopes & dreams. There's a LOT in the waist because I've been trying to make the replacement hip joints work for about 2 or 3 days; There's some in these gaps in the arms but because I didn't quite put enough in there I filled it the rest of the way with contour putty; There's some in this shield because the entry grade one didn't have the right kind of connection point, so I had to improvise. I believe there's some in the backpack but I can't give a good visual of it for a similar reason to the arms; Obviously there's some in the legs because there's no way I was gonna let this thing have entry grade leg joints, which of course led to my 3 day struggle to make this work. This is how much is left in the tube lol | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
