I tried to recreate the AC VI cover as a diorama/display kinda thing, using the Bandai 30MM Nightfall/Raven model kit.

I spent a lot more time on this than I expected. Destroying the mech and adding the internal detailing was probably the most fun part, together with the weathering. I tried to follow the reference with regards to the pose and battle damage somewhat but also took some liberties (plus there's some limitations of the kits articulation).

Really happy with how it turned out!

Custom painted HG Tickbalang with the HG Zowort attached.

I wanted to paint the Zowort in a more realistic military livery, rather than the original light green. I didn't realize I was giving it the Master Chief look until I was done.

My favorite details are the "vortex generators" on the chest, inspired by the Zeta Ver.Ka.

I really like the design of the Tickbalang: Utilitarian design, the drone-like cockpit. It would also fit straight into Ghost in the Shell SAC.

Build Specs:

• Kits: HG 1/144 Tickbalang & HG 1/144 Zowort
• Paint: Airbrushed lacquer, with some brush and sponge chipping.
• Details: Scribed panel lines and and some pla plate details.

Happy to answer any questions!

This was a custom from a while back, one of my first attempts to detail up a kit.

Been starting a photo archive of my kits. Mainly for myself, but also so that I finally get to post here :)
