sinanju

 

My 3rd painted kit of 2024 .   It has been a long time since I’ve been this productive on hobby side.   This is the HG Sin Anju Stein from the Narrative version ..   
Motivation started with a waterslide decal purchased from earlier this year.   I got tired building a GK and decided to relax a bit by finishing a gunpla ..  and man,  this is an impressive and bad-ass looking design and I was soon attracted to it.

Kit Info:
This kit is fairly recent released in 2018 ..   possibly the best HG 1/144 Gunplay up-to-date in my opinion.    Parts are well separated, details and proportions are all top notch, joints are strong, almost RG like design/engineering .. 

The build:
The process is straightforward.    Minimum amount of glue were used, only the fuel tubes and the weapon required seam line filling ..    

Rescribed a few existing lines and that’s about it.     The  collar and sleeve were done by spraying black enamel on top of white then wiped cleane with zippo fluid ..   and a little touch up of black after .. 

Colour used:

  • Main  - Left over dark grey from zplus c1  -> 308 blue-ish light grey
  • Dark blue - 103 - reideen blue
  • Navy green - Tamiya lp26 -> grey + blue + little green mix
  • Joint - jumpwind 029 / gx109 clear brown
  • Weapon Grey - 103 - 37 

Thoughts:
This is a relax and satisfying built ..   only complain is probably just the number of parts is a bit too much ..   Was thinking about doing some wash and chipping but gave up the idea ..   there’s no way the ultimate boss’ can get dirty in space ..         Like I said earlier, this is the best HG 1/144 gunpla ever in my opinion, and I can’t recommended this more ..
