Commissioned "HyoRyu" Kotobukiya resin kit build up
This was a commissioned build up of the Kotobukiya Resin kit for the character HyoRyu from the Anime series GaoGaiGar. He features 3 sets of hands (two closed, two open, and one set up with the handle to the weapons molded in) a rotating back mounted "Crane Cannon" and a hand held blaster. I prepped, cleaned, primed, painted, detailed and finished this kit myself, using Gaia Lacquer paint for the blue various model master enamels for the details, and a few different Tamyia acrylics for little details and the panel lining washes.

Commissioned "HyoRyu" resin statue by Kaiyodo
This kit was a commissioned build of the Kaiyodo resin statue of the character HyoRyu from GaoGaiGar as seen in the Kotobukiya action resin kit above. This kit is a static display statue, and has a remarkable amount of detail for something so small. This kit is about 3 - 3.5 inches in height, making it slightly smaller than the Koto kits. The head (the smallest bit) is roughly HALF the size of your average G.I.Joe or Star Wars 3.75" figure due to the "characture" nature of this piece. This kit was painted using Gaia lacquer blue, and detailed with various Gaia lacquers and model masters enamels, and finished off with multiple coats of matter clear finish. The last picture in this gallery is a comparison of this kit next to a scout class Transformer.

Commissoned "Big Volfogg" Kotobukiya kit build
This is a commissioned build of the Kotobukiya action resin kit of the character "Big Volfogg" from the Anime series GaoGaiGar. All of the usual resin kit prep work went into this one, but WOW was there a lot more details. Painted with a mix of Gaia lacquers and Tamiya paints, he stands roughly 4 inches tall, just taller than the Ryu brothers from previous builds.
