Icarus's blog: "Hurts to watch."

So I was just going through the blog of that japanese kid that did that AWESOME gelgoog, and I was thinking to myself "my, what technically sound kits, but they sure do lack imagination"

Then I saw a yellow gouf and I said "hey! A custom Gouf- nobody does those-

OH MY GOD!"

It got an out loud "Oh my god!"

That kiddies, is a HELL of a lot of studding, and I don't know how he did it.

Oh- and I knew I could make fins out of scrap plastic :P

This is the 1/144 Gouf. I can tell from the poseability of the hand, and the shoulder construction. Here's your reference point henceforth referred to as "before"

God damn... this kid is good, but he only has a few scrap built custom kits, the rest are primarily just very sound paint jobs.

Found his progress page... any one read japanese? It looks like he took the legs and head off an OLD (like early 80's) Gouf flight type kit and drilled all those rivet holes... dunno how he filled it.
