Portent Flyer

The portent flyer is a simple kit that when fully assemble it can be a back pack for a few specific HG kit.

 

 

inside the box it contain a manual and three white runner. All the part are white in color and no paint are require, unless you want this kit to match the color scheme of your kit.

 

 

 

The are three mode you can make it into. you can’t make all three at the same time unless you own three set of this kit. To change mode all you need is just part swap.

 

 

This is the peg that can be connected to the HG kit to make this kit into a backpack.

 

 

If you own a Gundam Portent the part actually fit on it. So you now got a part to change your portent look a bit than the default portent look.

[Dragon Momoko] little bear family

First thing first, this is not from Bandai and it is from a third party company call dragon momoko or DM for short. It cost $22bnd per box at hobby model ent shop and in each box you get three little bear and not one. This kit is an easy to build kit and you can finish building one little bear in like 15-30 min.

The manual is at the back of the box and not in a booklet. This i don't really mind as i only need to build one little bear with the manual and i can build the rest without it as it is easy to build.

This is what you get from the box. Three identical runner with three different color, than another 3 identical runner with the same white color. Also two PC part with one sheet of sticker for the eye and nose. Plastic wise it look very good, sure you can't compare it with Bandai but so far the nub are place in a hidden way so the kit will not have much nub mark when it is finish assemble. As for the snap fit so far it was all good except for the ear part where i need to give it a bit more effort to make it snap in.

This is how it look like when it is finish assemble. Each bear are approx. 8-10cm tall hence the name little bear. so far it take a bit of balancing work to make it stand on it own and maybe just maybe you can use the nendoriod stand for this but i m yet to test that.

They also give you a chair and some kind of a shield thingy (not sure what it is). The chair can be connected to the back of some of the 1/144 gunpla backpack slot so instead of a backpack the gunpla is carrying this little bear on a chair, though it would look better with a bearguy III kit.

This is all the three color bear in one box. manage to finish all three approx an hour or so while watching some series. one box down and five more to go and i'm planing to give each bear a different color so any bear build after this three will be painted. So if everything go well i will have at least eighteen bear and each will be in different color from other.

Gundam Portent

It been a while I post any gundam related stuff on this blog (well the old before I decide to clear everything off and start fresh). This gunpla was from the animation series Gundam build fighter try and it come with a few runner, sticker and the manual. I actually fix this up before I was thinking of refreshing this blog which is the reason y there was no picture of the runner and stuff.

This was how the finish model look like after I was done with it. before I go on I need to mention that the cable u saw in this picture was not include with this kit and it was an add on I did which I will show later on. This kit is an easy to do kit as there was not much runner in it so it should be able to finish it with in a day for a OOB build. Articulation wise for this kit was actually pretty good but I do have issue with the arm keep falling off when you try to turn it.

Weapon and extra

well beside from the GN pierce sword which is what I use to pose the gunpla with, it also come with the GN smash rifle and also the beam saber attachment which you can use to attach on the handle from the back of the gundam portent. beside the weapon they also give you three extra fist but I some how manager to lost one of them before able to take the picture.

As for the cable that I mention early it was for this purpose. I install a LED to the chest part and the wire was leading to the battery compartment. If you don’t have this kit yet and was wandering is there a compartment to put in the LED? the answer is a no they don’t. The only way I was able to insert in the LED was to drill some hole on the kit it self. I did drill a wrong part in which left the waist part articulation a bit poor.

in short this was a easy to build kit for me and due to the less runner I was able to finish it in a day or two.
