I really like Alteisen.... it was one of the most favourable mecha of mine in SRW OG GBA game (release decade ago and got refurbish into SRW OG on PS2). Kyosuke is really the best and coolest pilot in SRW.
So lets start with the comparison between the paint and unpaint version. The unpaint Alty is a really high completion model kit. Color are well defined, each small detail are being made into separate parts. If you dun color it, it already look damn nice
Now the comparison between paint and unpaint version

Paint or not paint is really all up to the modeller! To me..... i like to make thing perfect... that why most of my model kits takes like forever to be finish...
I have been ask several times about the height of this kit. A lot of ppl want to know how large it is compare to a MG. So i guess a picture is worth a thousand words, here a pic of Alty with a MG Hi Nu (one of the bigger Gundam).
I guess it is almost the same size as MG Sazabi
So it is big what are the other big deal about giant size mecha. Yup definitely something great about it! First it has a LED included without having you to go out and purchasing and mod yourself, it has really nice articulation for a kit that has so bulky armor!
the impressive 3 joint foot part, where now the latest Gundam RX78-2 Ver2.0 has also implement
Movable finger like those MG but still not as nice as Bandai MG kits
The only thing that limits most of the movement of Alty here is its oversize shoulder. It does limit a lot of the action but since it is also the trademark of the red beetle here, i guess no one will complain about it.
This time round Kotobukiya did make a lot of upgrade on its 1/100 model kit, besides having a bigger size they also include more gimmick compare to the 1/100 Huckebein Mk II.
The shoulder missiles
the revolver
Cockpit door can be open (although no mini pilot included)
LED given and already comes with how to assemble it into the kit
The Beetle horn that comes in transparent red for glowing effect along with LED
ok that ends this post... hope you guys like my Alty here! I would like to said SRW kits rocks.... Now here is pic of my 1/144 Alty along with 1/100 Alty and Kyosuke (comes along with the 1/100 kit).
lol really noobie indeed comparing my 1/144 Alty with my current 1/100 Alty..... I assemble it almost 3 years ago and now looking back at it, my skill did improve over time. I think it really takes experience to make a kit look nice! Hope all you modeller out there enjoy your hobby and pushing the limit your kits to the limit!

Wow! What a big size Alteisen! Nice job buddy!
Hey nice job. such a big difference. The painted one def look a lot better plus it looks like it is made out of steel. Could you let me know the step by step how you paint that robot? I'm just starting to learn and I want my gundam to look realistic. Like when and what do you spray...etc. Thanks.
Phil thx for ur comment.
The first step of painting is to have a layer of primer on it.
Then you start with the base color usually with darker color (e.g. dark red) then u apply another layer of clearer color on to it (try to do the shade effect used Max theory).
The above part can only be achieve using the AB.
For further touch up you will be required to purchase enamel paint and gundam weathering marker. This touch up required dry brushing technique.
If you really interested you can do some research on the stuff i mention on how to do so.
Great kit and awesome finishing... I just got my 1/100 Alteisen. Don't think I can even reach your standard but it's truly inspirational.
