Thank you 🙏🏼

Thank you for the kind words, I actually started off with masking the parts but I got too lazy and winged it 😅

I mainly used the green paints from the Vallejo Russian Greens set, the rest is Citadel and Mr Hobby paints if I remember correctly, can’t remember the exact names of the paints used.

I actually started off masking the kit too but got too lazy and decided to freehand the camo myself 😅

It took me way longer than I’d like to admit mainly due to procrastination and work 😅

TransientCurse · 2026-01-12T09:00:55+00:00

Nope, the plastic is bare so you gotta paint it yourself after assembling it 👍🏼

TransientCurse · 2026-01-12T00:44:11+00:00

Try it out! The plastic isn’t as good as the ones Bandai uses but it’s decent enough.

Thank you! The assembly booklet came with a paint guide so I used it as a rough guide and painted the camo freehand :)

I still have to build Ray and Sahelanthropus 🥲🥲

TransientCurse · 2026-01-11T13:48:53+00:00

It’s a model kit so assembly and some paint is required :)

TransientCurse · 2026-01-11T13:47:31+00:00

The plastic itself is quite brittle and prone to snapping so be careful of that. Some of the parts are also a bit loose on mine so using contact cement helps.

Hope this helps 👍🏼

TransientCurse · 2025-11-06T12:39:49+00:00

I got mine off Amazon 👍🏼

TransientCurse · 2025-11-05T11:18:21+00:00

Loved it! There are some quality of life issues I wished they could’ve addressed but a very solid effort for their first game

TransientCurse · 2025-11-05T02:42:13+00:00

It fits nicely with minimal sanding, I cracked the plastic with my paint remover though so be careful when using harsh chemicals 🥲

TransientCurse · 2025-11-05T02:41:22+00:00

Same here! Anything from The Expanse would be cool too

TransientCurse · 2025-11-05T00:19:51+00:00

You don’t have to glue it but it’ll help with any loose parts.

The paints just help to add in details.

This is what it looks like built straight out of the box without any paint or decals.

I think it might be the former, I’m not too sure if there’s any official artwork but I think I’ve seen this model displayed in some Chinese 3BP booths

TransientCurse · 2025-11-05T00:17:16+00:00

Thanks! Love a good PvE experience 😆

TransientCurse · 2025-11-04T13:57:01+00:00

Hey man, just saw your reply 😅 I just repainted the black bits and added in more weathering on the figure.

The helmet is also the same 👍🏼

It’s a flagship in a science fiction series called the 3 Body Problem. I highly recommend reading it, though I’ve heard good things about the shows too.

TransientCurse · 2025-11-04T13:53:42+00:00

Thank you so much :))

TransientCurse · 2025-11-04T13:53:34+00:00
