gunpla and other model kits!

Yeah, the content is exactly as it's cover. Too bad the "Zhang Fei" is out of stock, so i don't purchase them at all...

Wow, those "Shellformers"... O_O; Intriguingly col design! Gotta loev the black scythe bot.

I've heard about knockoffs, but this is ridiculous (& awsum, in a way or another)

"Armoured Sanguo" by Loongon. Yep, got these in my country, too. Thing is, the plastic is absolutely craptastic. Most Gundam bootlegs have better plastic than this series'. If you're keen on modding the hell out of them, then they're a good buy. If not... Well, you'd need paint to make it look good.

Lots of paint.

(Then again, it is made by one of the long-running Gundam bootleggers. The plastic quality hasn't improved since its launch.)

Reviews I could find:

http://www.modxtoy.com/v1/index.php?sho ... pid=620832 <-- Straight build.
http://duelmasterng.blogspot.com/2011/0 ... build.html <-- Some painting done

So, it's Loongon, aka Little White Dragon eh? Interesting... Because this is the next product they are planning to release, and this look again like a huge leap in design. It has been delayed from its January launch and no sign of a new release day however. Oh, and it is molded in 2 colour only. Still if all it needs is paint, I'm interested as well:

Even better, & i mean BETTER, than the Armored Sanguo. *w00t* HELL YEAH!!

Now, THAT looks like it's worth some attention. Hmm... Looks like it's Lü Bu, from what Google Translate managed to spit out. That means it's just another set in the Armoured Sanguo line. If it really does look like that with minor paint, hell yes.

...However, upon seeing the runner... Drats. You'll need lots of paint to make it look like anything close to the review image. But I have to admit the mold looks much sharper than their previous release. I just hope they'll stop using that brittle plastic and find something more durable. It's practically the same kind we use to make washing basins with. (And they're extremely brittle when hit with UV rays... Probably Polypropylene, but I could be wrong.)

Zaku finished! Ready for painting.

Paint it bright red!

/me is shot.

Well, since it's originally a general purpose MS, I say go with desert scheme + camo. You could also try to give it some combat weathering (scratches, dents, bullet holes) if you're feeling creative. It'll look like the Zeon's equivalent of Zombie GM.

That looks pretty cool! Where did you get those extra armor plates for the chest? I'd LOVE to get my hands on some.

Almost no painting because I want to pose it without worry of paint chipping. on the other hand, lots of glue-sand-buff work to remobe seam lines. The antennas on the "cheeks" are also thinned and sharpen to help make the head thinner, but really, the culprit is actually not the head, it's that the shoulder and thighs are not "muscular" enough, and there ais not enough hair to bulk up the torso from the back.

Still, I like it.
