SNAA Titan Greatsword Tristan

The Titan Greatsword Tristan, henceforth simply called Tristan, is a nice kit. The basic kit has a very nice knightly aesthetic that I really took to. The plastic quality is also very nice, especially at the price I got it at for, about $30. The kit's possibility is also very good. I really like how they did the knees on the kit. It bends in such a natural curve that other kits simply do not have. There's a small piston on the upper part of the knee that connects to the top of the thigh in such a way that when the leg is fully extended, the piston appears to be a part of the armor. My only issue with the plastic and posability of the kit is the peg connecting the torso together. It was a bit to lose and easy to disconnect. I sort of fixed this with a small layer of paint on the peg to thicken the joint and create more friction. Other than that, I don't have any problems with the kit. I recommend it, if you can find it, that is. As I write this, the kit has been sold out for a while now. I do not know when it will return to stores, if it ever will, however, if one can find it, my recommendation is still clear.

This is also my first kit that I decided to paint. I decided not to fully paint the kit, that would take far too long, but I would like to think I have done some good work on it. I had some left-over warhammer dark angles paint that I used on the torso, shoulder, and hip. not much, just enough to look like more decorative flare. I also added some blue paint underneath the transparent pieces so it looked like it was a crying face. With some minor panel lining as a finishing touch. I didn’t put any of the kit’s included decals, but I believe it looks good regardless.

I have a lot, to put it mildly. And these photos are outdated. I intend to slowly go through my collection, take some photos and give my thoughts on each of them. Additionally, as I get more into customizing these kits, I'll place my thoughts on both the kit and my customizations in their own posts.
