This is not really a new custom, it has been an ongoing project since 2018, https://www.reddit.com/r/MegamiDevice/comments/1cx2r5b/my_little_mecha_spider_girl_laetitia_has_finally/ but I thought the Kagutsuchi-Kou would fit on the spider body.
Okay, I don't have anything special to say, I just thought Kagutsuchi-Kou fits well on my spidergirl custom body.
I will be awaiting the arrival of Kagutsuchi-Otsu Sniper, as I think she will match the spider body better.
There's only 292 of those small gates/securing points.
Overall good. It would have looked better with moulded windscreens and metallic rims instead of light grey.
The engines were finicky to build, otherwise the building experience was fine. The worst thing about this set is the mould quality of the tyres, especially the big rear tyres are atrocious: the connection "rings" are either deformed or partially missing, but it is at least possible to get them on the wheels. Out of the 4 tyres, only 1 tyre had 1 side which was somewhat normal (the side you see in the pictures).
Since I have it displayed on the top of a shelf, I have modified mine, and locked the rear axle.
And small things sure come in big packages: Gii's box is bigger than Meltina's! I was already sold on Gii when she was revealed, so I never really bothered looking at what her Willize mode looked like and how big it's going to be.
I used to make haul photos with my Laetitia mecha spider girl often, but since the last upgrade I have barely done any, and it had been almost 2 years since the last haul shoot, so I felt it was about time to get back at it.
For some reason Bandai only advertised this unpainted and panel lined, and there is no painting reference in the manual, so like with my HGUC ZZ Zssa I had to go out and search for references myself.
Now with all of the trusters painted red, it is a lot more colourful.
I did a small amount of detail painting, but it is mostly unpainted.
Out of my now 6 AC kits from Kotobukiya, this is definitely the most stable and least fragile kit.
Here is the unfolded Vvc-774LS with a MG RX-78-3 G-3 Gundam.
After 2.5 days of panel lining and a bit of detail painting, I am finally ready to start building the kit.
