The latest kit that I've worked on was called Sword Wolf from the Zoids toyline and that was way back about 4-5 years ago. Its a pre-painted kit with snap on joints, meaning that it doesn't require any painting works to finish the process. Still, many professional modeler would consider giving these kind of kits atleast some minimal paint job to make it more realistic thus adding up the awe factor. For me personally, I'm simply happy with the outcome of my unpainted Zoids back then... suggesting that I wont reach that professional level at any time soon.
Enough about Zoids for now. Actually this post is about some simpler model kits from two different brands. So simple that a young kid would have no problem doing it, yet fun and cute enough for adults to appreciate.
The first product is the official Transformers Pla-Kit model kit made by Takara and the others are Transformers model kits made by Kabaya, which are actually 'candy toys'
(Toys that come as free gift in a candy box, but in this case looks more like the candy is the free giveaway)
The one that I'm posting here is Transformers Pla-Kit Grand Scourge from Transformers Energon series, while those from the Kabaya factory are G1 Optimus Prime, Star Saber & Henkei (Classic) Optimus Prime.
Credits to Mr Fauwaz Zawawi for helping me out with the assembly of Grand Scourge. Like I mentioned earlier, I lack the time & proper tools (LOL) but I did apply the stickers myself
Here it is...
