Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is just waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too cool! Awesome build Danny.

Hi all, its been a while, with just under 5 weeks work i am calling this done, i used the rather good Starling Technologies lighting kit as a base with alot of bespoke lighting on top. The lighting kit comes complete with a sound card and real lasers to add to the overall effect.

Cool!

Great looking details on these strange builds.  Not my cup of tea, but outstanding workmanship, I acknowledge.

Hi all, I finished it up this morning, it had has some additional lighter filters applied once it was all standing and i have added some other minor details but the guy is happy so i am done. The last picture is both of them together, the customer wanted the battle damaged one more heavily dirtied and weathered. 
All sealed with Tamiya XF-86 Matt. 
 
Before you ask it is a Mecha model from a PC game called Metal Gear Solid 4, i am no gamer so its a bit out of my wheelhouse. In the game it has been left alone unused in the Arctic for years so it needed to be a little more weathered. The guy i built them both for supplied me digital renderings from the game so i could use those as a guide. 

I am not sure if i would want to build a lot of these kits as they are quite complicated in terms of spraying, it would be easy to build up the parts but then you would have a real problem masking. 

Hey Ho, Here You Go. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

They both look fantastic!
 
Having built the undamaged version, I know how complicated the paint job is on them.

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. 
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.

Danny.

It's from the most recent MGS game Phantom Pain.

That finish looks very nice. I can imagine it on a racing plane with a similar fade from blue to green. Great technique and finish.
 
Looks like you had fun,
Tnarg

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.
