Here I will put my build log of the Aoshima V.F.G. VB-6 König Monster. The box print is of awesome quality. It has been a while since I build an Aoshima kit (bttf Delorean), so, hard to compare to the general quality of Aoshima for me. I will dry build this first, that means: no glue, no paint. My focus will be more on the VB-6 than the VF girl. I mean, everyone likes [insert euphemism for large female attributes here] anime girls with fox ears and a tail, but for me, this is just a little gimmick here. I will go step by step through the manual, and guess what? Said fox girl is the first piece to build. The box provides several face plates for lazy dry builders (me this time) and for anyone willing to paint everything. Everything is pretty modular, so in case I want to paint the VF girl, I can chop her up into pieces like a Hasegawa VF-1 and paint everything individually. After around 2.5 hours, I was finally done putting together the little figurine. A lot of tiny pieces and joints. They have a general good tense fit and it makes the figurine fully possible. The plastic looks good and I didn’t see smearing or waving. Everything that needs to stick together sticks together without glue. I am satisfied with it so far. One noteworthy feature: adjustable „balistics“. Work on the VB-6 will commence tomorrow. Here two pictures of the figurine. This is what is left of sprues for me to go through. As per the manual, I can throw away the rest of the girl‘s sprues as the redundant pieces are not needed. I will keep them as replacement parts.

Ah, the enigmatic Graham just refined his hint, so thought we might as well open up a new thread to discuss it. For one thing, we know it can't be Macross or Votoms. I don't think it's gonna be Orguss since Graham mentioned that another company is doing some Orguss stuff already. It's gotta make 'a lot of Macrossworlders happy' so it should be something we're familiar with. I personally would have wanted Mospeada mecha like the Mospeada itself or even better the Alpha fighters (lots of repaint possibilities on that one too so it would make sense from a practical standpoint. Hmmm...
