New stock, new loot and some truth

 

Recently the stock came for two kits which was in my wishlist. There was limited stock for both kits but I was a bit strapped for cash so I just enquired about the price and availability for both kits. The owner mentioned that one of the kits only has 2 sets and one set was picked up earlier in the day. I then asked which branch has the other kit left and went about my day waiting for his reply.

 

Later I got a reply and he mentioned there is still one kit left at the branch in town and he told his staff to reserve it for me together with the other kit in my wish list. Curious to know what was in my wishlist which I managed to get my hands on?

PG Wing Zero Custom (Pearl Mirror) - WIP 4

The previous post was the last bit of details which was left to do for this kit. After that the only thing to do it to fix the parts together and display him.

PG Wing Zero Custom (Pearl Mirror) - WIP 3

Since the armour was finished in the previous post, this post will be for the wings and twin buster rifle. The front wings are straight forward, Screw the feathers into their respective place. The only gripe I have is the feathers are not coated in the same pearl as the wings. Makes it look out of place.

PG Wing Zero Custom (Pearl Mirror) - WIP 2

As mentioned in the previous posting, this post will be focusing on putting armours for the inner frame. Parts are separated before the armour can be put on. The chest armour took the longest time to complete. I did accidentally fixed the red part of the armour the wrong way round. Was wondering why the pegs could not fit into the holes and there is a V shape at the back.

There is an LED on the chest which requires you the wiring before putting the armour. The wires seen in the photos are waiting for their head counterpart so they can be connected together to the backpack.

PG Wing Zero Custom (Pearl Mirror) - WIP 1

This is a wip post for the PG WZC. Have been working on this kit for a month. This is the kit which I posted about on January. For this kit, I decided to paint the inner frame two different colors. Main color will be silver and there will be some gold parts on the inner frame as well.

TT Hongli / Gao Gao 1/60 Wing Gundam Custom Pearl Mirror Coating

As mentioned in the title, I just got myself a 1/60 Wing Gundam Custom. This is not from Bandai. It is a 3rd party brand from China. Since this is a Perfect Grade scale, I decided to get this instead of the MG version.
