Shenma 1/100 GK Style Rising Freedom Azure Knight

The 1/100 scale gives this thing real shelf presence, way bigger than I expected for the price. Snap fit was tight without being a pain, and the detail out of the box honestly looks close to a resin GK.

Panel lines on the 1/100 scale are crisp enough that I barely needed to scribe anything extra. The build took me a whole weekend and the joints hold poses way better than I expected for a kit this size.

The undergating on this kit surprised me, barely any cleanup needed on the armor pieces compared to the older 1/100 I built last year. Panel lines are crisp enough that I skipped scribing and just did a straight build with a matte topcoat. Posing the wings out wide looks incredible on the shelf.
