Great job as always! You really mastering that jeep style.

These last few kits you have done have just stepped up so much . And they look great with all the metal in them. :)

I was just wondering why you don't like to weather your mech's?  I know you like nice clean mech' s because thats your style but I was just wondering why the difference between military and gundam.

It's mostly just personal preference. Plus the scale makes realistic weathering difficult as opposed to 1/20 and 1/35 where you have more control and are able to do more. Where's the mud in space? Most of my suits are space-based.

I also think that the cleaner ones show off more detail and are more difficult to pull off sometimes. It's easy to hide some paint flaws with mud.

I do have weathering plans for a future Gundam project though. I have other stuff to finish first. :)

That's really nice work.

This is late in replying, but I've been browsing your gallery for a while now and for some reason I never took a look at this one.

Did you have any inspiration from the Halo universe when you built this kit? I swear, that color scheme plus the visor just screams "SPARTAN." I think that's absolutely awesome, intentional or otherwise.

Your builds simply amaze me, by the way. It's inspired me to invest more in some Master Grade kits and really start putting work into them. It's a nice activity to spend my time on between classes. :)

Thanks. I did consider Halo a bit when doing the visor... but that's not why I wanted the gold. I just wanted it to match the rest of the suit.
