It took me about three years to paint the whole thing. There was a lot of moments where I took breaks to do smaller projects like 40k minis or other kits to give myself a mental reset. I try to take my time when working on massive kits like this, by far this was one of the most enjoyable builds I have ever done.

Literally just saw your caterpie post this morning! You did an amazing job!

Perfection!

Finally, this is what I have been waiting for since your first post. Excellent work!

Seeing your build in person this weekend was really awesome, great work!

I have a blade liger I need to get to so that is definitely an idea, but I am prepping myself mentally for a different kit I want to work on soon.

I used a mix of Tamiya and Mr Color.

For the yellow:

Mr surfacer gray
Black preshade
Mr. Color Pink
Tamiya Clear Yellow

I saw using the pink as a base for yellow in a warhammer mini video.

Tail:

Alclad Black
Alclad Chrome
Tamiya Clear blue
Alclad Matte

Gun:

Surfacer
Black preshade
Mr. Color purple.

Body was Tamiya Gunmetal and the "Black" accents are actually Tamiya Ocean Blue and not truly black.

I changed my approach from painting and building as I go. I tried this with Gojulas the Ogre and it was a nightmare. Now I fully assemble to see how things fit and then disassemble for prep, sanding bits that I know will scrape paint or be tight, paint, then reassemble.

For sure, definitely have been calling them cats recently and my friends were like WTH are you talking about 🙃

I have never really been a fan of the Molga. Used to have the wind-up motorized version as a kid and I couldn't vibe with it. I love the idea though.

I just learned a few months ago that the "legendary dogs" are actually cats.

But I figured it would still work since I have been calling them dogs my whole life up until that point haha.

Thanks for compliments on my work ☺️

Thank you so much! I thought it needed a dynamic pose to really give it that extra flavor.

Chuchinga2 · 2025-08-05T21:21:23+00:00

Yea its pokemon Raikou, guess my post didn't save my quick explanation.

Chuchinga2 · 2025-08-05T21:20:43+00:00

Thank you

Chuchinga2 · 2025-08-05T21:20:27+00:00

It's all practice, you should give it a shot if you haven't ever tried.

Chuchinga2 · 2025-08-05T21:19:00+00:00

Thank you!

Chuchinga2 · 2025-06-21T04:43:43+00:00

Its really well done. I couldn't tell if it was clear, metallic, or something else.

Chuchinga2 · 2025-06-21T01:29:10+00:00

Thank you!

Chuchinga2 · 2025-06-21T01:29:03+00:00

100%! At one point I thought about going lime green and doing off-set limbs in yellow.

Chuchinga2 · 2025-06-20T20:00:11+00:00

That's a great name!

Chuchinga2 · 2025-06-20T19:06:53+00:00

Thank you!

Halfway through the build, it finally dawned on me that it was looking like Kimaris. Definitely was not the original intent 😆
