1/100 MSN-06S Sinanju Version KA BAN 156877

for this model you would have to take your time with.this model has alot of peices you would have to put together.but when your done putting it together it looks totally awesome.the only thing that is hard to do is the weapons,the hands won't hold somw of the weapons.it tends to fall out of the hands.you might have to find a way for the hands to hold them.

Looking at this model, you're either thinking 1. its awesome but so expensive, or 2. its ugly and expensive. If you are of the latter opinion, I don't know what's wrong with you. If you have opinion #1, read my review to determine whether the investment is worth it.



I paid quite a bit for this kit (to support my local shop) so this is a great deal on Amazon. I recently got back into model building and was really excited to build this kit.



Words of advice:



- Do NOT paint the parts while still on the runners - Danny Choo recommends this technique on his blog, and it works well for most Gundam models, but not this one. The gray parts (underframe) and some of the red pieces fit so tightly it is difficult to piece them together. Make sure you avoid the paint getting into where the pieces join, otherwise your Sinanju will have problems moving around (I even snapped a piece trying to shimmy it into place). I recommend airbrushing each piece (increases investment and time involved).

- Getting the gold onto the black parts. There are quite a few different techniques (check the internet for them). I tried hand painting and it looks decent on 80% of the parts. The lazy and actually decent way would be to use an Exacto knife to cut out the gold parts. Some reviews recommend against it, but I've seen a few pics of decent looking ones using this technique (up to you).

- I personally think this model deserves a shiny gloss coat, and I used black enamel paint on the black parts (looks pretty).

- Get the water decals. They are just better.

- If you are really into upgrading, I know of a few people who have tricked out their Sinanjus using the Neograde kits which are thankfully coming down in price.

- The finished model looks amazing, and sticks out in any collection





Make sure you have experience before building this kit (if you are customizing/painting). The price is at a point where you don't necessarily want to buy more than one model.

The arch nemesis of the Unicorn. This is an amazing model that can stand its ground with no paint. Painting will give it much more life. Its the largest MG I own. Its quite a giant. Great kit for display! I am hard pressed to call this a toy but a child that can handle plastic model kits would have fun with this guy. Check out some model reviews on YouTube.
