Ha...! They are from a very old vinyl figure that I chopped up almost 20 years ago. Thank God I'm a total hoarder and saved all the unused parts! ![(rofl)](http://lemonstre.fr/robot-japan/smileys/rofl.png) But I think I'm not going to use it. I'm afraid the friction of the plastic pants will eventually screw up the painted thighs rubbing against the edges. I may just cast the thigh armor in color, so the friction won't matter. But I was so set on using metal for the thigh armor... Oh well, the search continues. }D That would be the best way of doing it. A solid color cast won't lose its color from scratching. It will show friction markings after normal wear-n-tear from posing the figure often, in the spot where the part is in contact with other parts. zozo-mag

Need to repaint the "gold" horns and eyes in Yellow, and the "white" armor for a light "bluish Gray", like in the Mazinger Z vs Ankoku Daishogun OVA. ![;)](http://lemonstre.fr/robot-japan/smileys/wink.png) ![](http://i.imgur.com/YanXZtK.jpg) }D

That weathered silver metal looks cool. I'm curious to see it when you give it the OVA color. ![:D](http://lemonstre.fr/robot-japan/smileys/grin.png) zozo-mag

You know... for some reason, I'm not liking the face sculpt of the 40th Anniversary that much anymore. To me the face on the regular GX-01R looks way more anime accurate. The only things working against it are the oversized Pileders and the long neck. I think that if I can fix those, it will be the best looking Mazinger Z yet. ![;)](http://lemonstre.fr/robot-japan/smileys/wink.png) ![](http://i.imgur.com/HVEnvbo.jpg) }D

Yeah, but all SOC Mazinger Z noses are like that. Not one is broad in the bottom and thinner on top like the anime.

Yes. I need to customize the hand a little, so it looks more Super Robot instead of Real Robot (Gundam), but the fingers are actually round - not square! ![;)](http://lemonstre.fr/robot-japan/smileys/wink.png) }D
