Or also known as Koto Club! There’s a lot of gunpla groups here, so this group is dedicated to kits manufactured from Kotobukiya. This includes but not limited to Armored Core, Raystorm, Ikaruga, Virtua On, D-Style Kits, Marvel figures, DC figures, and many more.
A month long project of the Kotobukiya 1/72 C03-HELIOS Victoria Ver. A lot of paint apps on this one; all the gold, red, silver and the gloss coat was all hand brushed, then…
I loooooove the Armored Core designs (except for V and VD) I have the ambient and the noblesse oblige waiting to be assembled, I have them on my backlog because I always take my sweet time to do them, the latest one took me almost 6 months to complete, but I´m super happy with the results (I painted all using spray cans and hand brushing, I also…[Read more]
Since I am not able to post a picture in the comments, I show it here. I had a conversation with John C. about building worn and repaired battlesuits with exchange parts. You can follow it at his Linebarrel post, which i recommend. And here is what i was talking about :

I completed these two kits a bit ago. The ikaruga kit was my first time adding a bit of paint and using waterslides. I feel like the kotobukiya kits pushed me into trying out…

Even if it doesn’t turn out the way you want its a learning experience. I’m buying an airbrush set this week, so I expect some failures on the way! Thanks for the encouragement.
