WOW! You fully dis-assembled your SRC Maz! It looks intimidating seeing it spread out in parts like that. I don't have the guts to try that on any of my SRCs. But YOU are Da Man in charge here, so Thanks for sharing your work in progress- looks awesome!  Love how you finished the Kaiser Pilder, it looks so much better NOW than the wide "football" shape it was in its original state! zozo-mag |

not bad, but i would prefer to see a frontal pic to compare the other one side by side to have a better look.
are you gonna do both versions of the wings or just the basic?

When it's 100% done, I'll take out another one and do a comparison shot.  I'm gonna do the Kaiser-Scrander Wings like the ones the Yujin and Aoshima versions have.  }D |

Bro... the thighs turned out P E R F E C T! the top edges are perfectly flushed with the surface of the thighs. It's such a simple machining thing for BANDAI to do, and they didn't do it; but you nailed it right On Point with some simple tools and you made it look so easy to do! The waist looks really good. I dunno what you did, but your Kaiser looks much more filled out in the waist area-- which is what this SRC needed. Because the SRC's original Kaiser "feminine" waist design had Got to Go. ( throwin my hands to the side like Oprah, "Got. To. Go." lol) You have a much better detailed hand-eye coordination than I do! Can't wait to see your finished Kaiser! zozo-mag |

This one was not really a mod, but a paint job. I didn't tweak anything on it at all. I just covered the legs with painter's "frog" tape, took the arms and skirt parts off (they pop-off easy), and masked the Galeon's eyes and mouth. Airbrushed primer first, waited about a week for it to fully cure, and then airbrushed the white paint on (waited another week for that to cure). Then I applied a clear coat, just to protect the paint a little more. I let the clear coat dry for 3 days in the hot attic too! Then I just took the painter's tape off, snapped the arms and skirt pieces back in place, and added the Victory Set II Stealth Gao II. Custom Repli-GaoGaigar complete! }D |

Thanks bro! The backdrop was a freebie from an Entertainment Earth order. They send me one with every order I place. This is the coolest one. The last one was like a castle gate, not as cool as this one. }D |

That looks great TMZ. I personally don't like white limbs on Mazinkaiser, but I can't deny a great paintjob when I see it. Thanks! But it is not white on Mazinkaiser. It is actually a light grey. Great Mazinger's is pure white, and Mazinger Z's is like an off white-almost grey color. If I had my DSLR available, it would be easier to see, but my cell phone cam is not the best. }D |

That custom Anime-Correct paint job literally screams Nostalgia right out at me! Love the detailed paint job on the fingers, too. Awesome work on it, details and all, bro! zozo-mag |

is it me...or...is the entirety of the arm completely new, joint and all? for a while, I thought you just shaved down a SRC Z arm, but...looking at it closer, it looks totally new.
also, are you going to do a custom Kyoukagata Rocket Punch since the SRC's are Stupidly proportioned Gorilla fists?
