XenoSentinel mini review

If you have any of the other “3 Min Project” sets you should definitely buy this one! If you are a terminator fan that’s another good reason to buy it.

The articulation is great! It is equal to the XenoStrike. The extra set of feet comes with a toe hinge. I’m not sure if it makes much difference but it is a cool edition. You get 2 options for the face and 2 different back pieces. I really like the extra attachment point near the elbow. Weapons are Incredible! I did have one minor issue. The joints are all tight but move well. I can’t remove the forearm to attach the Gatling gun as shown in some of the promo shots. I don’t want to snap the arm trying to separate the parts. Next time I build one I’ll just attach the gun 1st.

I bought the 2 pack with Box and instructions from “Nasedal Store” on AliExpress for $18. It shipped about 2 weeks earlier than the preorder date. I’m definitely going to buy some more colors in the future.

Side Note: I wish Sheik Mainland would sell a weapons pack. I want more guns and blade weapons.

Instructions for XenoSentinel / Xentinel

Just wanted to share the Instructions for XenoSentinel / Xentinel (Terminator) on here in case anyone needs it in the future. I ordered a 2 pack from “Nasedal store” on AliExpress and it shipped early! They also have some single units for sale now. I’ll post a review later.

Has anyone from Europe got the Franz Alpha?

im trying to get it but aliexpress is way too expensive (28€ or more) and the cheaper option is deltabase but from my understanding they dont ship to europe yet, i dont know if its a matter of their whole catalogue or just new products

Just some fencing i built at work to put next to my gundams. Used some markers for weapon colors ,optics and weathering. Also painted the exposed rounds

Alright Sheik_Mainland, you can’t just give me a cool purple mech and expect me not to think of Eva 01 (Franz Alpha 1/144 kit X4)

And of course when i think of unit 01 im then going to think of unit 02, …and after that its might as well swap the purple and white pieces and make a unit 00.

Really great kit! So many build options, so dynamic to pose, so easy to paint )everything is either undergated, hidden on build (the parts you cut from gates get hidden by other parts), or both. You can pant this kit on the runner

Ill post more once i finish the black one and put final details on all 5

(Ps. I know Eva unit01 isn’t the first purple mecha, I’m a transformer fan, and so half my favorite decepticons are purple lol)

Okay im going a little overboard with this last Franz Alpha!

But im loving it so far. Work in progress obviously. Still debating what color to do the head in, and if red eyes sound like a good idea or not.

The shoulders have 1mm holes in them like for 3 minute mission stuff i think, But theyre easy to open of with either a pin vise or an exacto knife.

CHROME!

I saw a feller paint his, so I, having some Molotov pens, decided to try a chrome finish.

I have to have more of these.

Also. Any one know where we can get weapons for them? All the ones I’ve come across have finger guards or are like minifig. All I’m saying is I need more.
