FG2Si Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Just got the Aoshima MechaGodzilla kit. Anyone know of a suitable Godzilla to go with it? Carl 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kallisti Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Thanks for the info Tommo, I'll keep it in mind, but my latest purchase arrived in abox from Canada today - a 3D printed kit of a 1:48 scale Babylong 5 Starfury!!!! Bah I forgot to include osmething in the photo for scale! The surface detail is superb - its hard to see with the light colour resin so I tried fiddling with the contrast and gamma in the following pics: Really nice stuff. This guys will do 1:32 and 1:24 scale as well but they are not cheap! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeR Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Now that does look nice! I still have two of the 1/72 Revell kit, one finished as a "Black Omega" and the other as Commander Sinclair's Battle of the Line craft. Pity that Straczynski and Warner Brothers had such a strained relationship, it would have been nice if some more plastic kits had seen the light of day. I don't usually post here but I thought I'd share my latest acquisition; a figma of the T-Doll UMP45 from the gacha game "Girl's Frontline": "I'm not amused...." I don't actually play the game but I liked her design and I decided to pre-order when she was announced last year. Like all figma it's basically a very expensive action figure but I'm happy enough! I bought it from HLJ and went with EMS shipping - it made the journey from Japan to the UK quickly enough but Parcel Force let the side down once it made it's way to my local depot. It took as long to travel the last few miles as it did on it's international journey....! Good Smile have announced another member of her "Squad", her "sister" UMP9 which I'll most likely get as well. Mike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMD70 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) This fantastic pair of figures... Spider-man and Green Goblin were two of my favourite comic characters from my childhood. No idea what scale these are... I've seen 1/8 mentioned but they are definitely bigger than that maybe 1/6?

exidor Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 A couple of bits of sci fi nonsense arrived for me today. The classic emperor dalek from Evil of the Daleks He's to scale with the 5" toy range so lots of scope for dalek army dioramas. And this from one of my favourite films. Possibly the most ridiculous choice of ship for a model kit and I couldn't resist it. Looks quite a complex build. And they've pulled out all the stops with the detailing of the base. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was tempted to go for his 1/32 scale version but was concerned that the postage would be prohibitive, so i was thinking of purchasing the STL files and getting it printed locally but then i would need to find a local company that could print it to the same quality so i've not moved forward on this yet.

Kallisti Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Yes it is Alain's kit I didn't get hit by customs and excise (probably because it was from a person not a business) for it so the postage wasn't prohibitive. The print quality he's achieved is superb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a beautiful kit, and looks to be bang on proportions-wise. The postman delivered the GW Cadian Command Squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy called "ndwdesign" is selling them on etsy but he seems to only make them in batches of two or three at a time. It's a bit of a lottery because they don't last long when they go up and I don't know where they get announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMD70 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 (edited) Picked this oldie up cheaply and the actual figure I rather like... the face is awful though. A bit of research later and ordered a replacement 1:6 head... you can get them pre-painted etc but found a plain one. I think they are for the Hot Toys figures really but is the correct scale for this. Much better don't you think.

I have a (unfineshed) resin figure of a Millenium Godzilla i found on Ebay some time ago. This should come pretty close to the Godzilla that appears in the Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla Movie that your figure is from. As far as i know the Aoshima Kiryu will be around 25 cm high and so is the Godzilla Figure. If required i can provide you a link through PM. Edited October 30, 2020 by Reelyator Corrected Movie from Tokyo SOS (2003) to Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (2002) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FG2Si Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Thanks Reelyator! That's a good looking Godzilla. Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reelyator Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Welcome Carl! One nice Gimmick of this figure is that the dorsal plates come in clear plastic. This means if you are brave enough, you can drill out a hole through the body and insert small LED´s to creat "glowing" dorsal plates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Baker Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Great find, love that kit! I did change the front windows in mine, the kit matches the new filming model built for the sequel but from what I have seen they got that detail wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
