Iron Man Mark 7 by Silver Castle

Iron Man MK7 by Silver Castle

I don't know when was this released but i found a store who were selling this for like Php650 a kit and yes if you're good at asking for discounts they will still give you one. This was the first time i heard of this manufacturer "Silver Castle" so i had no idea on how they are good in replicating original kits. At the same time i can't find the original kit they copied this into. Anyway, let's start.

"Every toy has a potential to be good as long you wanted it to be good."

The Kit Comes in a cute little box, mark with it's manufacturer Silver Castle

Take note, the box should contain 9 Runners, a sticker and 1 Manual

The Sticker are for some side details, this is important the ARC Reactor and the eyes. The Arc Reactor shoudl be seperated and somewhat a special kind of sticker

6 runners are for the head, body, torso, legs, arms, and joints

and the remaining parts would be for the hand that comes in different poses, the effects and the stand.

There you go, now the issues i found about this kit is...

The Stupid Manual, well i know this is a bootleg but come on, some of the parts have the wrong label and if you were a first time builder of such kits you would actually fell for the dumb instruction written on it.

The Runners were actually bad itself, the parts were attached in a bad way leaving noob marks all over when you cut it. Furnishing it is a must but be warned too much scratching will ruined the parts color itself since it was glossy. And i guess i have to praise the color wasn't half bad. It was a semi-metallic-gloss red and a semi-metallic-yellow-gloss color, so it ain't that bad although the plastic is still bad.

Fittings are bad. Yes, some of the parts doesn't fit right. For example, the chin part of the kit has a big male part so attaching it to the face gave me hard time leaving a bad plastic mark on it. some parts doesn't actually fit and you have to either use some fitting cement or better yet, PLACE IT PERMANENTLY.

ARTICULATION is WORST.

In other cases, the ARC REACTOR was a a plus point. The Effects was an asset, although it reminds me of Dragonball instead. And the color although i praised it, im taking it back. The color sucks. It's not red it's Maroon.

And that's it, now in order to make it good you really had to put time and effort on it by realizing it's issues. If your going to have this Kit have fun and enjoy and show how good you are on making Kits look "Awesome".

This last few days, i was so eager to have this rare 00 Kit named 00 Gundam ANA. Well what is that kit anyway? Thanks for google you could click and see it here I was asking local shops, online stores, visitng shops but alas my hopes were gone. The Gundam ANA were one of those Limited Kits that you wont get any longer except if someone is going to sell you one. So, i thought why not copy the color scheme of the Unit?

Equipped with two DODS Rifle from Gundam Age

So, yeah i know , i know, i did a bad paint job with it, and totally messed the kit. but hey atleast i tried. [tap selfs in the shoulder]I used Acrylic paints and took me 2 days to finish such a crappy work. Well practice makes perfect, right?

Fact: There is also an RX-78-2 ANA and Gundam Unicorn ANA.

The second unit i'll be presenting, would be from my friend Rhey. The unit still has an incomplete paint job, so color scheme is still a little bad. Decals are not yet complete.

What's cool about the unit is it's massive height compared to other MG units, i know, i know... Sinanju's height is really big so nothing new there. The units articulation is bad maybe because it was a bootleg. I never liked TT Hongli Models in the first place some of their runner are not properly molded and some parts doesn't even match. Resulting to a bad unit.

My Rating: 5 out of 10 [including the fact that it's a TT Hongli Model]
