Kotobukiya 1/100 MGS Rex AT LAST!

[tos]

Hi,

First of all, have to admit that painting the camo scheme is really painful so I finally give up. I have tried to masking the head but really no patience.

I have painted this using dark iron, iron and weathering after. Painted the base using iron. Hand painted the weathering effect and made some mistakes which cause one of the joints breaks due to enamel paint. Luckily can save. The ID band is Alclad Chrome.

The triangle on the head is some kind of ID or marking used by this variant. Using Aclad chrome too.

I like this Rex better than the 1/48 3A Rex mainly because of the articulation. The Rex manage to stand up which look much cooler than sitting like the 3A. Attached the picture to show how it looks compare to 1/48.

Enjoy the pictures and hope it is ok in front of the Sifus here.

Thank you.

Dude, sick. I just got this kit and was wondering when I would get started on it. I 2nd Ray, pily about the camo. That 3A 1/48 is enormous!

Yah, the initial intention is to paint the camo with either Alclad Chrome or Iron. After mask the head for 1 hour, I think I am lazy. Really bad.

The Three A is great and not going to release again by 3A so worth to collect. The bad part is it cannot stand right up because no support.

My initial impression of the Kotobukiya kit is not that impressive after I bought the 3A. However, after I painted it and started assemble, it is quite a nice kit given the articulation. Overall, it is good.

Thanks.
