June 17, 2019You know what they say about robots with big feet...2
June 17, 2019Some drilling and a PE fin (I knew I'd need those!) to just add a little something something.3
June 21, 2019Holy seam lines Batman, the fit of this kit is not exactly up to Bandai's *current* quality standards.4
June 24, 2019Someone must have started this kit, because that shoulder piece was off the runners and pretty mangled. I could have filled the damage, but this seemed like a good time to add a "racing stripe" detail to just cover the area. Cheating? No. Efficiency!5
June 24, 2019I think the stripes and the PE details are elevating this big blue boy bit by bit.6
July 3, 2019I think this completes the build! There are some pontoons (or something?) that may be able to go under the shoulders, but other than THAT it's basically done. No huge seam lines on those luckily.7
July 5, 2019Here he is all broken down into sub assemblies for painting. The yellow paint is for details that will later be masked. I want to try some tonal variations by mixing in neutral grey to the purple.8
July 8, 2019Yellow details that I'll have to mask now...9
July 21, 2019Black then purple for the torso. I’ll undercoat some with grey and not at all for others to vary the paint scheme.10
July 22, 2019Here you can see the three purples... just different enough.11
August 4, 2019Needs a bit of touch up.12
August 4, 2019I like the color variations... I think it’s working out nicely.13

September 3, 2019Don't you hate it when you get sand in your giant robo-toes?23
