Don Suratos’s MAQUINA mecha modelling competition has an out of the box category, which requires the entry not have any customisation aside from painting. For my 2020 entry I entered this custom painted MG F91 2.0. Subtly preshaded matt grey armour, contrasted against a glossy candy orange, among other metallic paints. I also tried my hand at glowing eye and camera lens effects, recreated with brushed on paint. Hope you enjoy, and I recommend you check out the other MAQUINA 2020 entries at the Don’s blog.

1/20 Ma.K Prowler Gallery
The Prowler is my first Ma.K kit and I was very impressed. While a very different beast to my usual Gunpla kits, I’m completely sold on WAVE’s line of models. While it was initially annoying that some of the details shown in on the box were not included (for e.g. the ankle cables), it was great fun scratch building my own replacements. I highly recommend this model for anyone who wants to try something new, and doesn’t mind putting in a bit more work (relative to gunpla anyway).
For more info check out the other WIP posts: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, and Part 5.

It is complete! For now at least, I’m putting the Dijeh down to work on something else; though, I may revisit it at some point to put on some decals and some more weathering.

It shouldn’t be any surprise at this point that I get my colour schemes from Overwatch, and when I came across the below image I had to apply it to a Gundam asap.
And fortuitously, both Sombra (the lady in the picture) and the Blitz Gundam have that lean and mean look, and a thing for becoming invisible. The picture I had in my mind is of the Blitz simultaneously decloaking and shredding the enemy with submachine gun fire. I hope it comes across that way.
