I have my two custom Melanders, the Nightfall, and Locksmith. I really hope that either Aquabot Jax or other hobby shops in Jacksonville, Florida will have the factory model VP-40S Arquebus AC available when it comes out. I am back in the groove for model kit building and customization.
Yesterday morning close to lunchtime, I stopped by Aquabot Jax, and lo and behold, I managed to score the latest 30-Minute Missions Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon kit: the VP-40S Locksmith! It took me hours to cut out and sand the parts, assembling them, spraying matte topcoat, weathering, and finally painting! Putting in the time to add these details is always worth the effort.
I finally have the 35 Max version of the Scopedog Turbo Custom after seeing many pictures of it online, but I am not taking it out of the box because of my previous experience with the Scopedog Red Shoulder Custom from the same line. The Red Shoulder Custom Scopedog is currently in storage because it cannot hold any poses due to its loose joints. Out of the various iterations of the Scopedog, the Turbo Custom is my number one with the Red Shoulder Custom at second place. This can go along with my HG Scopedog Turbo Custom I built a couple of weeks ago.
I built another BD-011 Melander kit because that's the only humanoid type AC that I find available in my local hobby shops in my hometown Jacksonville, Florida. I opted to make this a battle scarred factory model, and I will be giving this to my sister because she doesn't have the patience for making model kits like I do, and she likes Armored Core VI.
