    Finally got around to snap some pics of my Frame Arms (in Mountains of Mars outfit)

    Looks like the Bandai kit is as good as 1/72, just the pilot is undersized.

    Callsign "Edge"?

    Thanks for the review and the photos! So the kit is actually only slightly larger than the old MPC version? I still think that with their density of details, these kits could easily be blown up to 1/48 size.

    Looking forward to get humiliated by that AWACS NPC all day long...

    Bandai has been producing some rockin' boxarts lately

    I think that like Makoto Kobayashi, Ikuto Yamashita has become a prisoner of his CAD tools, his pre-Anima work was far more organic. And, like kanjrig mentioned, this EVA looses it's original concept. Still, Yamashita is ahead of the game in terms of general mecha design and I can't wait to see the full body.

    I'd try polishing a grey base with graphite powder or similar metal powders. Even a light brushing produces a nice sheen.

    As if the movie adaption was not enough, there's a comic anthology by western artists that's coming in September. https://kodanshacomics.com/series/ghost-in-the-shell-global-neural-network/ However, one of the artists makes a really good Shirow impression (minus Shirow's occasional sloppiness) https://www.instagram.com/musashinoelegy/

    Now tone down the yellow bits or make them pale gold and you have a Boss.

    Another thing to consider for a good gloss finish is to move "forward", i.e. in the direction of the airflow, over the surface, so that the mist of paint will be pushed away from areas with fresh paint. Do this while spraying at an angle and not perpendicular to the surface. It all sounds terribly complicated, but it will like driving a car after a while.

    If you get grainy surfaces, either your paint is too thick and you need to add more thinner, or you spray too far from the surface and the paint dries mid-air, so to speak. Try to get closer to the surface or get more output from your airbrush (I'd recommend the first, if you're not dealing with large, uniform surfaces like a car body).

    Who cares - it's Lord Bolton on a Hurricane!

    I never cared much for these kits, but with your paintjob it looks pretty sharp.

    The Magic Mike edition?

    There might still be a good movie in there, but the trailer puts me off even more than the first one. At the moment, I see another Spy Kids episode. I never imagined the Scrapyard in such vibrant colors, but more like a District 9 place. Let's see how the telenovela style mixes with the ultraviolence that is a cornerstone of the manga.

    I'd cut close to the canopy edge with a rotary saw tool for your dremel and the sand away the rest with coarse sandpaper or a file. The rotary cutter is very comfortable since you don't' have to apply much pressure when cutting.

    Frame Arms in progress

    In their defense, they produce some of the best Macross fighter artworks besides Tenjin's. I see them like DJs interpreting some original artist's work. Btw, is there any explanation for the brown/burnt iron (?) panel that runs around the lower half of the nacelles at the aft end?
