I never seen Gao Gai Gar but I would like, even if it is a childish
mecha serie. I founnd this kit when I was browsing E2046.com figures list. It is a very
simple GK but the pose is funny, the character cute and I like the uniform. A young
girl with a strange haircut, a sailor fuku, loose socks and in a "V" pose, I
can't hate it. But when it's a double "V" pose, I just can't resist! The
painting process, it was easy and quick, except the fact I took a 6 months break between
two paint layers! Because the kit was really simple, I worked a lot on the shading to
bring her to life. This
GK received warm comments from the E2046 Community. Keiichi said it was "a
terrific result for a hand painted job." Thanks a lot. But as you know,
pictures tend to bring get better they are...
This kit was
purchased from E2046.com for 29.50 $ US. I bought the
last copy because just after it was Out of Stock. (Usagi: "Lucky! ^_^") |

For a
hand-painted model, you do a terrific job. The shading's nicely done too.
Loved the eyes. Another great piece of work. |

Nice again
Matt.
This lighting is better in this one, so I can see the nice job on the flesh
tones. Blues are great colors, aren't they? You can never do wrong when you
paint with blue.
Am I seeing the start of a trend here with this Sailor stuff, Sailor Matlac?

Nice
work.....I like the shadings done on her stockings. Her eyes look great too!
Can't wait to see the rest completed........ |

WoW !!!
Great work! You consistantly show that airbrushing is nice, but it will
never replace a well practiced hand holding a paint brush.
Nicely done indeed.

I like the
pose of this figure very much. Such a simple but original kit. Yet again you
did a very goood painting job. Just pay attention not to shade to much the
knee areas as you did here because the look a bit bruised.
All your upcomming projects seem to be commin out quite well. Can't wait to
see them complete. |

nice hand
painted figure.
how do u create a shading using hand painting? i will like to explore
shading with hand painting too. |

As I said
before GREAT JOB!! Your shading is most well done. As a hand painter myself
I know how hard it can be to achieve such looks, and you are managing just
fine. I am excited to see the rest of the models complete. keep it up! |

You do
magic with brushes, that something that I can't do I like the shadows ,
great job Matt!!! |
