IDEON 1/830 伝説巨神 - 重機動メカ - ロッグ・マック Heavy Mobility Mech - Log Mac

This is such a lovely mecha design, from the Space Runaway Ideon, a heavy mobility mech-Log Mac. Basically it is a mech piloted by an alien with a ball shape shield on top.

As a result, it looks like a big green ball with a pair of legs. Simple. And funny.

As usual, out of box with a little modification for articulation and some extra option parts. The modification is mainly for a more cartoonish pose. For finishing, I did a little light weathering; basically just simply taruh kinda weathering work; a bit of wash, chipping and some pigment.

Overall, while i like the mecha very much, but I think i kinda failed in making the comical feeling that i initially intend to.

Anyway, whatever done is done. I had a good time huhu.

Volks Non-Scale Tetsujin 28

Ok, a cheap haul from Mndarake during one of my trips to Japan. A very simple kit, considered non movable, but the proportion is good.

For this project, basically I go for all metallic finishing. The only challenging part is to have enough silver reflection at the same time to maintain vibrant, anime-like color tone.

One thing good about silver flake is, with the right amount, the finishing naturally looks semi gloss.

Btw, thank you Kitti of 3 raccoons for the photography work.

Some extra mood shot just for fun:

Aoshima 1/48 Techno Police 21C Road Ranger

This is one of the early kits after I have decided to take out all my long kept vintage and build them; yes, I have decided there is no point of keeping these so called vintage n let them collecting dust.

This is the road ranger, the vehicle for techno police 21c series, which frankly I was more interested in their robots than the car. However, when look at their robot kits,  i had a deep breath n put them back... hahahaha that's why, finally I have build this instead.

At least it comes with motor and i can play with it for a while XD

Think I bought it from Daya, a small mini market in ss2 pj. To my surprise, though being such an old kit, the fitting is actually quite good. The main problem, as usual, being the on/off mechanism; which I threw it away and put my own.

Other than that, is just sand, mask n spray.

Marui 1/144 Best Collection - ARMORED WALKER

Oh yes..... U do see it right: It's Marui, and yes, not any battery operated airsoft gun, but a spring powered sci fi kit.

Best is, this looks like some bootleg. Well, since the absence of any Star Wars logo, typeface; I wouldnt call it a bootleg. However, the design of the walker, even the small flying objects in the background of the boxart, u cant deny they look quite close resemblance of AT-ST and snowspeeder.

This is what happen during the 80's in Japan and lets refresh our memories of how Japan rose to a super power by reverse engineer others' stuff.

Overall, this is a very simple kit. As usual it does come with some toy element: a spring powered wind up motor which the walker can actually walk.

For my side, I just add up a little bit of details, especially on areas that look kinda empty to me. I the motor in it though probably i will not play with ti at all after i have had painted it.

Also did a small vignette on a wooden block. Snow terrain. I was trying to do melting snow that is quite icy n wet on the ground. but as usual, i think i have had overdone with the powder snow. Besides that, I realize the way i paint, it is extremely difficult for me to capture interesting colors on photo

Anyway the side panel of the box where advertisement s, I saw another AT AT like walker.... just couldnt find it though....

Below are some photos of the completed work:
