I played armor core in the PS, Nice Choice SLW45

 

[Solander]

Yep, same as Earthstock
Gonna be a great mech when finished-it is a pretty cool design!

 

[Grendels]

I have been interested in these kits for a while. I will be watching!

 

[SLW45]

Hey thanks guys
Got some work done nice kit so far one little problem but think I have it all sorted
Here are the shoulder units they use a lot of very tiny parts and I mean tiny

Kotobukiya Armored Core kits are amazing to say the least. You'll hear some Gundam builders complain about them because they don't have the tight joints that Gundams have and don't hold poses very well.

 

[SLW45]

Got some work done on the legs
Really like this kit so far it has been a blast to work on

And the head

 

[SLW45]

Got more done
Really love the detail in this
Going to be a hard one to paint should have done paint before assembly

 

[Eastrock]

Fine details, SW

How does this compare to a gundam kit? It looks like the construction is about the same.

Grendels it about like a gundam HG kit except it has a lot of details
Like a HG kit there is not a frame and then parts over it
This will only be the 6th kit I have built but it is by far my favorite
Just bout ready to start painting this is where I fall apart and have lots of trouble
But it is a heck of a kit and I will be doing more of these and the Zoids kits also

 

[Grendels]

Thanks for letting me know. Back years ago, I built up a few zoids kits. I have seen the kits around, but never got a good look at one.

 

[ModelMakerMike]

OH yeah....Kotobukiya is fantastic.
I buitl an Armored Core kit 2-3 years ago, and was very please with the level of detail, and sheer number of pieces. It took me a few nights just to build it. I have still not painted it.
I also have some of their Zoids kits! I love 'em, except for the prices. :/
I will be watching this one.

 

[SLW45]

Yeah got to say this kit is great
Now if I can do it some justice






Well all parts are done got a few things to clean up then painting
OUCH that going to hurt

 

[fumblethumbs]

Geez, there's some nice detail on that model. I'm not at familiar with these type kits but it looks cool. Your build is looking super clean on it SLW! Sounds like you're not looking forward to paint but good luck with the finishing!

 

[SLW45]

Thanks fumblethumbs
No I am really bad at painting
but I keep trying ;D
