MG Hyaku Shiki Pre-Paint Build Part 3

So I took some time off school today (Cos I'm sick) and completed the Kyaku Shiki's Head and shoulders~

Here's an outdoor photo!


Here's one in my "studio" (Basically the MG Astray Noir's box cover)

The cons of this kit:
I think the main problem of this kit is the fact that it was designed back in 2002. It has polycaps for joints (I share a love/hate relationship with them)
This results in the shoulders and knees dislodging themselves often while posing.


Need to sand that off before painting (I got lazy)

The pros of this kit:
For one, the shiny shiny gold is the main attaction when you look at the Hyaku Shiki on the shelf. However, the reflectivity is a big problem for photography. This is because the gold reflects all the surroundings of the Gundam, hence making the gold (Which should be vibrant and bright) look dark and dull. This is the reason why when you google image search MG Hyaku Shiki, you will pretty much be dissapointed~ but I'll assure you right now that it looks much better in person

The second pro comes in the surprising 360 rotatable waist. 


Dayum look at that!
This opens a whole new world of posing possibilties for this kit.

For posing and display tips, I suppose you'd want to display this on your mid section shelf and that shelf should be white. The mid section of the shelf would catch the eyes of any person walking past your display~ and it will aldo flaunt the Hyaku Shiki's slim figure (while on the top shelf, you will be exposing the chubbier legs it has, and on the bottom shelf he won't be looked at)  

With the same "block chest" design as most UC Gundam have~ the same sideways pose will emphasise its elegance. But this time, because of its rotatable waist,

Tadaa! awesomeness

I'd pose it with the Clay Bazooka, but i was trying to clear the seamline, so it'll take some time for the glue to dry~ 

Till part 3 😄
