Been experimenting with lighting, but I just used the flash this time… (Not too bad looking, but still could be better in picture quality )

This mech is from the manga The Five Star Stories, if you wished to know

Anyway, I mostly built it for my bf (he likes pink, and the mech is supposed to be pink, so it works, and yes, I have an odd bf, no need to tell me that :stuck_out_tongue: ) But I have ended up loveing this thing…

Though the pink matches my wall color, so that kinda ruins it when it’s on the shelf -__- Ah well…

Still one of my better works, but that’s me talking here…

Questions, Comments?

Nice mech. How long did she take?

Definatly different and very nice, thanks for sharing.

Nice work, Akuma!
You have a lucky bf! While my gf often buys me models (she’s a sweetie!), she has never built one for me.

Your pix look good, too!

Thanks guys :slight_smile:

Coby, didn’t expect any other people here to even know what it is :slight_smile:

This is my only 1/100 MH kit, the rest are 1/144 (The plastic KOG AT and LED, as well as an old KOG in resin, which I wish I had done a better job on -__- )

I stripped the paint of my first KOG twice before I was happy. I ended up mixing my own gold for it. I mixed gold powder and pearlescant gold into a clear lacquer. It worked pretty well. I have been trying to puch my painting skills on the MH kits. I got into shading on my Arkanna Siren. I may need to go back and do some dirt on the feet and lower legs to depict it in battle.

Here’s my “good” stuff;

Those are nice :slight_smile:

Is that KOG the same one I have? (1/144 Volks resin kit from the 80s ) I can show you pics if you want of mine, but I’m not proud of it -__-

I’m thinking, if I ever do another KOG, it’ll be the one in the buster launcher fireing pose (I love that one :slight_smile: )

I also love the two Auge kits (Well, I love the mecha, as well :stuck_out_tongue: )… how hard were those to build?

The KOG is the Volks 1/100th scale Super Spirits Series kit. All of the kits were fairly easy to build. The Cormals was the hardest. It was one of those kits that have ball ended arms and legs. You have to figure out how to pin it in the pose you want to stand in. That can be a real pain.

Which KOG? The one I said I want?

Anyhoo, never had a kit with ball ended parts like that yet… Sounds fun heh… Though I’m thinking small parts on any models are the tough part… (I hate em lol )

My first KOG was the first one done in 1993 or so. I have the one you are talking about too. The firing pose KOG is one of the best in my opinion. And big too. 1/72nd scale got a lot bigger in the last couple of years. I don’t quite know why. I guess Nagano published the sizes as larger than before maybe.

I still don’t have any 1/72 mecha (well, Dunbine, but those aren’t very big )

Too costly for me right now… Though I really wouldn’t mind that 1/72 Patra (KOG AT ) I just need a job…
