Resin Kit: 1/6 Choun Shiryu Damaged Uniform - Unboxing and Dryfit

Following the finished painting of the Kshatriya's arms, I go to opening another resin figure to take a break from the painting of the Kshatriya; just like I did before. This time its a 1/6 Choun Shiryu Damaged Uniform, the third and last piece from the same series of figures as my 1/6 Kanu Unchou on Knees and 1/6 Ryomou Shimei Hadaka Apron. Finishing these three is the perfect precursor before pushing to finish the huge Kshatriya.

Resin Kit: 1/6 Ryumou Shimei Hadaka Apron - Unboxing

I'm taking another short break after finishing painting the legs on the 1/100 Kshatriya. This time, I'm opening a second kit from the same figure series as the 1/6 Kanu Unchou On Knees I have previously painted. The kit I will be working on is a 1/6 Ryumou Shimei Hadaka Apron.

Resin Kit: 1/6 Kanu Unchou on Knees - Unboxing and Dryfit

Opening another resin figure kit after the 1/8 Tsukikage, a larger scale 1/6 Kanu Unchou on Knees. This kit has a bit of an adult theme and is slightly more realistic compared to other anime character kits. Some photos will contain partial nudity.

The kit came in E2046's large box. The kit I received did not contain any instructions or picture of the finished kit. Parts came in one large parts bag and some separately packed ones.

Resin Kit: 1/8 Tsukikage - Unboxing

Taking a short break from building the 1/100 Kshatriya, I decided to work on a resin figure. This one is a 1/8 Tsukikage. I don't have much info on the kit other than she is a ninja.

Resin Kit: 1/6 Shiranui Mai - Unboxing and Dryfit

After having finished my 1/7 Kan'u Unchou Resin Kit, my next project is another resin figure kit: a 1/6 Shiranui Mai, again from E2046.

Resin Kit: 1/7 Kan'u Unchou - Unboxing And Dryfit Build

After finishing the painting of my 1/8 Nami P.O.P. Sailing Again Resin Kit, I now start work on my 1/7 Kan'u Unchou resin figure. The kits, like Nami, was bought from E2046.

The box is small and compact but the contents are well protected inside. It comes with a single picture of the finished kit and a parts list. It doesn't show how to put the kit together, so I have to figure that out.

Resin Kit: 1/100 MSN-04II Nightingale - Unboxing and Dryfit Build

This is the last of the three resin kits I recently got, the 1/100 MSN-04II Nightingale from SMS Workshop. Its one massive Gundam kit for a 1/100 scale and is pretty heavy.

The box is made of heavy duty cardboard and has a large SMS Workshop label and a picture of the Nightingale.

Resin Kit: 1/100 AGX-04 Gerbera Tetra - Unboxing and Dryfit Build

A few weeks after getting my first resin kit, the 1/100 Kshatriya, I got another resin kit. This time its the 1/100 AGX-04 Gerbera Tetra from SMS Workshop. This is the full kit version and SMS Workshop included the conversion parts for the AGX-04A1 Gerbera Tetra Kai. SMS Workshop earlier released the Gerbera Tetra Kai as a conversion kit and has a few differences with the Gerbera Tetra's body design.

The Gerbera Tetra is a pretty small kit and the box it comes in is about half the size of a standard MG kit's box. No box art and the only indication of what you are getting is a label on the side of the box. 

Resin Kit: 1/100 NZ-666 Kshatriya - Unboxing and Dryfit Build

What I have here today is a 1/100 NZ-666 Kshatriya full resin kit.

It is one of three resin kits I have and this is the first time I am building resin kits. The Kshatriya's resin kit was originally done by NeoGrade then later recast by G-System and SMS when NeoGrade stopped producing the kit. G-System still makes some through G-System-Best while SMS no longer recasts the kit. The Kshatriya is one of the most popular resin kit I have seen and there are a lot of recast from less know manufacturers. The kit I have is one of them. I got this Kshatriya from gkgundamkit.com. They're a Hong Kong based online store that sells a lot of Gunpla and resin kits. From what I understood after ordering from them, the kit was "produced" after the order was placed. I was expecting the kit they have might be from the more well-known manufacturers but it seems that they recast the resin kits they sell themselves. With this in mind, the first thing that comes up is the quality of the resin. Companies like G-System or SMS require a minimum number of orders before they recast an kit that's no longer in production. How will gkgundamkits' single order recast fare against more popular manufacturers? We'll see that later.
