Tolga Uzuner Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 After a long break i started a new kit. Actually i'm not a big fan of patlabor anime's but i love this one. The kit has got a lot of details, very soft plastic ( careful for sanding), but especially arm joints looks weak, and i dont like the cover material for leg&arm sections 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Vale Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I really like this design too, there are lots of neat "human scale" elements like the winch and numberplate. Can't wait to see your finished version Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tolga Uzuner Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share Posted September 11, 2018 well, i finished the legs yesterday, i added little chrome details for the foot pistons. Its very detailed kit but feels something missing... I dont know whats missing... May be spirit Or just i'm not a big fan of this anime... I'm missing my gundams... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tolga Uzuner Posted September 18, 2018 Author Share Posted September 18, 2018 Alright, painting process is done, i did a test assembly, looks not bad. (There are a lot of gaps between parts because its just a test assembly) I'm gonna do clear coat tomorrow and afterthat decals and weathering etc 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, next step will be weathering. I'm not sure what kind of weathering styles needs for this kit, may be little chipping, little rust and little wash. I thint these are enough for this little guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This model is taken from a live series (Patlabor the Next Generation), you can take some image from the series prop (1/1 size) as inspiration: http://www.gunjap.net/site/?p=159600 I have the same model and sooner or later I'm going to use this kind of references for the build! HIH! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes this mecha should be 8 meters tall, still really impressive! The animated movies of Patlabor directed by Mamoru Oshii (director of the original "Ghost in the Shell") have a special place in my otaku hearth: highly recommended!

Tolga Uzuner Posted September 23, 2018 Author Share Posted September 23, 2018 (edited) Ok, i started with wash, i'm really big fan of flory model washes... they are very easy to use and verys easy to clean. I'm just waiting the drying of the wash... Edited September 23, 2018 by Tolga Uzuner 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tolga Uzuner Posted September 27, 2018 Author Share Posted September 27, 2018 (edited) Almost done. i think i will add some pigments and some matt varnish and done... Edited September 27, 2018 by Tolga Uzuner 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Vale Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Looking awesome Tolga! It's such a real-looking design. And I love that there's a full-size version, seeing the Special Vehicle Section deploy their labors from trucks was really cool in the original movies. I'm glad there are other fans of Mamoru Oshii's work on here - did you see his live action movie Avalon? It's typically slow and weird but I really like it. Cheers, Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommygunn1972 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 He looks cool, weathering is on point. That winch is in a rather suggestive position though 🤣🤣🤣 I would like to dip my toes in to Mech modelling will have to look out for some cool kits. I saw a Macross Destroyer Monster kit at a toy fair yesterday, i asked the guy how much, he said £140. I like Mech just not that much 🤣🤣 This is awesome work though, good job 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
