[REVIEW] TT Hongli MG Char's Zaku II ver. 2.0 review

I've finally finished building the TT Hongli MG Chars' Zaku 2. 

Building wise, one of the most obvious issue with this kit is the fitting of the parts. Most pegs need some force required to fit parts together.

For accessories, it has the standard issue equipment same as some of the other Zaku variants. It has the rifle, bazooka and the heat ax. It also has a mobile lift that you can use along with the pilot figure. I believe only this kit has this piece.





The biggest issue I experienced with this kit was the pipes that ran through the body. They just won't stay put in the connectors so I had to put some glue to secure them.





And here it is side by side with the Daban MG RX78-2 ver.3.0.

Since the Bandai version isn't that expensive, it's far better to get the Bandai kit instead.

[WIP] DM MG Exia(Repairs) WIP 2

With the release of the PG Exia, I knew I had to update this project just before finishing it. On the last update I just finished lighting up all the GN condensers. But the PG Exia also lit up its GN cables. Plus the PG Exia has a new lighting system that uses RGB LEDs. 

Since I'm already half-way through my MG Exia project, I decided to light up the GN cables too.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to take much WIP pics. But this additional mods still do follow the same techniques I used for the other parts of the kit.

I have to admit I was in a bit of a rush to finish this part. It's just that I didn't have enough time to plan the mods properly and it's already taken far too long since I last worked on this and there's already a bit of backlog for the other projects that need attention.

One thing that I'm trying to implement in my projects is the use of a usb phone charger as a power supply to my kits. 

Now all that's left for this project is some panel lining and it's good as finished.
