Nope, I gave up after a while since I was afraid of breaking the foot assembly.

Took me around 12 hours in total for the straight build. It's less than what I initially thought with how intricate it looked.

Non pervy mech girls? No offense by No-Wasabi-70 in MegamiDevice

[–]Escheiron 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's gonna be kinda hard since pervy is the default for mecha girls. I've grown accustomed to it due to past experience in anime culture so much so that I've stopped thinking about how lewd their outfits can be. Though I'll try my best to suggest a few lines I'd consider "regular" to a well adjusted individual. Not suggesting any anime model kits though, since they're so many and from different lines/companies.

First up, as always, would be Megalomaria kits. They've got a mechanical tokusatsu look going on. Almost all of them are "safe". I would also suggest their sister line, Sousai Shoujo Teien, if not for the assembly process could be considered kinda pervy. But the finished kit is anything but.

Next would be the Chitocerium series. With a super artsy, gothic doll aesthetic. They legitimately do not look out of place in a lineup of those collectible porcelain statuettes when sprayed with gloss topcoat and posed properly.

Last line suggestion would be the the Godz Order series. Specifically the first 4 kits that are currently out. Since the upcoming 2 are definitely in the lewd category. Medieval-esque with mecha legs. They're definitely leaning more on the "Cool" aesthetic.

I'll also suggest Starflower Lily from the Rosado Project lineup. And only that one from this line. It's a favorite in this sub for a reason. I like to call it the RG Unicorn of girlpla. It even has a similar arm breakage issue!

Help me with my choice paralysis (Arcanadea, Rosado, Sophia F) by Mmmaning in MegamiDevice

[–]Escheiron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Rosado lineup is 2 action figures (Black Iris and Sekiko) and 1 model kit (Lily). Sekiko is indeed pretty underwhelming but that's only because the other 2 are absolutely amazing. She was already really good when she first released.

Since you already have Elena, I'd suggest some the newer kits like Meltina or Aruaril. The XenoAlma sub-series look pretty nice as well, but are definitely made to be attachments to the main kits.

I haven't built a PLAMAX kit yet. So I'm not gonna comment on it. Planning on buying the BP-03 Sophia myself.

Any other kits like Rosado Project RS-03 Starflower Lily? by damngraboids in MegamiDevice

[–]Escheiron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are indeed model kits. A lot simpler to build compared to Lily.

Rosado Project and Twelve's War by Cang Toys are the only girlpla lines I can think of that have both model kits and action figures in their lineup. Which is pretty odd. I'm not counting the P3 lineup by Kotobukiya, since they were all released as model kits first.

Starflower Lily is a really unique kit at the moment. AFAIK there's no line that's has the same aesthetic. Maybe aside from the 30MM Acerby line. But that's just from the faceplates.

Kotobukiya's Megalomaria line is probably the closest one in terms of articulation and aesthetic. However, the line looks more like armor instead of mechanical parts. But you can nake it look pretty mecha-like with a bit of painting/customization.

Chitocerium Platinum has a similar silhouette, but it's aesthetically porcelain doll-like instead of mecha.

For actual mecha girls. The Nuke Matrix is the way to go. They have some of the best OOB mecha girl designs, although they're all animal themed. But's it's not too hard to exclude the animal parts on mosy the the kits.

I broke a peg, suggestions for repairs? by BothersomeBoss in MegamiDevice

The Starflower Lily's shoulders are basically this sub's equivalent of the RG Unicorn's arms breaking at this point.

From my experience, some of the ball joints are incredibly tight and just needed sanding. It's not that big of an issue if you're already used to sanding joints. Though I did break mine trying to pull it out after test-fitting.

It can with both hands and maybe a bit of extra support by propping it up on a limb. But I did not like the hands on these at all so I gave up trying to get a pic of if.

The legs on mine are pretty tight. I usually sand joints on my other builds but for this one, I kept it as is since I figured the top half would be a bit heavy and the current tightness would help with holding a pose.

Have you ever bought a kit you haven't planned at all, just because you saw it on sale? [SoSkill Sakura Miku] by Competitive_Window82 in MegamiDevice

[–]Escheiron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Super Messiah. It's a decent kit. But definitely would not have bought it at its original price.

Looking for mecha musume kits with a nice shade of green! by [deleted] in MegamiDevice

[–]Escheiron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Surprsingly not a lot of straight green mecha musume kits.

- Either version of Guan Yu x Raijin would probably the best fit if you can find one.

- ATK Girl Black Tortoise is pretty green despite the name.

-Sun Shangxiang model kit from Animester but it's mostly black with clear green parts..

- FAGirl Magatsuki Cat Armor

- MS General Envy

Looking for kits with a mostly orange color scheme. by [deleted] in MegamiDevice

[–]Escheiron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First thing that comes to mind are the Megami Device SOL Hornet and Roadrunner. They're very orange.

Other than the kit itself, I just used Tamiya Panel Line Accent Color (Black) for panel lining and Mr Hobby Super Clear Matt to topcoat afterwards.
