Summer was spent on the Sinanju and I must admit it feels very good to be working on something else. What will I be spending the coming weeks building?
The MG Lucas Strike + I.W.S.P. (Integrated Weapon System Pack).
He's supposed to look something like this:
I plan on dirtying him up a bit. Give him a well-used and battle-hardened look. This will involve my first attempts at damage and dry-brushing techniques.
The build looks to be much simpler than the Sinanju. In fact, I have already test-built it.
Whoa!
This kit comes with three sets of hands, which is a first for any MG kit I have assembled. Although the movement of the hands and fingers is extremely limited. Nevertheless, he comes with two swords, three guns, two pistols, a gatling gun, and some kind of whip that extends from his palms. Oh, and the two whatever guns that are on the I.W.S.P. He comes packing.
There are a couple places on this mecha that I am not fond of and am debating whether to do something about.
You can see the yellow V-fin is visible below the white V-fin. I haven't decided, yet, if this is something that bothers me enough to 'modify' it. I could trim that lower portion away so it is not visible. I could also paint it the same colour as the white V-fin. Or both!Speaking of paint:
I picked up some Mr. Colour Light Gray and some Tamiya TS-64 Dark Blue Mica (where have I seen that before?). I also have alot of other colours left over and want to use some of them up on this build as they are starting to clutter.I don't really expect this build to take long, which is a good thing because I have another four MG's and one HGUC waiting for me.
More updates soon.
"Excellent..."

ReplyDeleteI'm a sucker for references to any Groening animation.
ReplyDeleteShall be interested to see where you go with this. No doubt it will be prudently detailed. I do love a good gatling.
