Nice! Is that one of the Z soldiers custom?

+1. Especially the Spartan.

Thanks guys. Also thanks for telling me about that Xigfrid. I was scared that I'd break something if I pushed down too hard. As for the color, It's both lighting and paint . I guess the Tamiya gunmetal's color changes when viewed from different angles. Can't wait to see pics of folks builds!

Last update. Thanks for reading. I'm about 85% finished. Just need to wait for the stand adapters and new lenses that I ordered, glue the landing gear doors shut, put on the smaller kites, give it either a flat or semi gloss coat, and a few touch ups then done. For the big kite I gloss coated the white primer , then masked, then used grey primer, and reused the TS-8. For the exhaust I added smoke to the gunmetal. All in all it was a fun little build being this was my 1st time trying something like this. Learned a lot of new things and some things I would do differently next time. Big Mahalos to Xigfrid to even dare attempt to make this project a reality.

I think the cockpit doubles as a miclone chamber.

Dunno but if Hayate didn't say anything then it's fine.

Nice. Need pics with the ground crew next.

Include the VF-1J head too and I'm sold.

Not much chance for that to happen.

Would love to get a Walkure set

Looks great! Now I got something to reference for the exhaust. Is that the TS-85? That red looks nice. Too bad my LHS don't carry it in stock and they take forever to order.

Slowly getting there. Still needs more work done till I call it a day. Will paint the upper intake fin and bottom reactors gunmetal today. Getting the tail section to hold together while adding it to the main body is tricky for me as the bottom exhaust doesn't hold firmly to the upper housing. I might have to glue it or add some future for more friction. Here are some pics with the boosters free standing:

Probably something like active camo or something.

A little update for today. Sorry to hijack this thread but I didn't want to start another one. I stripped the lens back to clear so everyone can see how it looks( I'll dye it blue again later) and painted the inner part Tamiya XF-66 light grey. For now I painted the eye Fluorescent glow in the dark pink just to test. I might go the led route later on. I also painted the laser pods and intake(?) gunmetal though I'll redo the intakes as I used white primer versus the grey for the pods. I'm still debating how I should paint the rear area. Here are a couple of pics showing the lens in clear and the ghost mocked up without screws as I need to do a lot more painting and finishing.
