Yes i know what you are thinking " what the hell is that", well the simple explanation is it is a model of a character from the gaming world. The game is called Metal Gear Solid 4 and apparently it is very popular, Kotobukiya do the kits and i have to say they are superbly thought out and engineered, you would not believe just how many parts there are. 

The model is called Ray and it is a follow up to the Rex i built for the same customer last year, that was even more complicated but an enjoyable job all the same.

I am not a gamer so my knowledge is limited, it is basically a manned underwater Mecha, the face opens up to reveal the gun, i am not showing it like that as the future is still drying, no touchee. happy.gif
The finish is meant to replicate an aqua marine blue with hints of green blended in, i used a base silver and then a light metallic blue covered with filters of clear green and clear blue. I am quite happy with the rendition, i have another coat of future to add tomorrow but essentially that is it.

Just sent the completed images to the customer so hopefully a happy chap.

 

Thanks for looking.

Very nice looking Ray there Danny!

 

In the game, Metal Gear Ray is commissioned by the USMC as an anti-Metal Gear mech. At the end of the previous game, the plans for Metal Gear Rex are released to the world so other nations start building them. Ray is built as a deterrent but gets stolen at one point.

 

BTW, there's a third Metal Gear kit out now.

What kit is that, I would like to know what I am in for, the Rex was a tough build.
