BTB: MG 1/100 Exia

[kws]

first snapfit kit in forever for me.. nothing much, just added aurora sticker to the stripes, flat coated and panel lined. also did the most stressful job so far in the GN swords and also long and short blades.. tried to and rather successfully (imo) bling-ed the blades.

snap fit is definitely a new challenge to me.. as many of the other members have pointed out on the new importance of making sure all nubs are removed properly, and and mold marks are removed.. also made me put a lot more effort into taking more decent photos, something i previously neglected.

without much ado, here is my entry for this groupbuild!

aahh.. MG Exia. my first MG kit, and also my first ever gunpla when I started this hobby early last year.

love the shots, especially the cover photo. I notice you're using decals from Samuel?

also, the GN Strips looks glossier than usual ;D

thanks! yeah, decals are from Samuel.. GN strips have aurora sticker on them, that's why it reflects more colors!

I see. no wonder it looks so vibrant! it would be very tricky to capture all those reflections on the out-of-box strips.

all the best!

The aurora sticker certainly bring this kit to live. Good luck!

Thanks guys! Didn't quite like the original GN strips cos I thought they were too see thru, so wanted to do something about it.. Simple and cheap solution here. Contemplated other types of stickers as well, especially the hasegawa hologram sticker.. But wayyyyyyy to pricy! Haha!
