Bunny Mecha, Stage 1
Here, besides the box art showing how the creators intended it to be, is the first stage of my putting together and painting a SodaPop bunny mecha.
I made a few changes. The crouched pose looks too passive, not to mention the fact that it doesn't quite line up with how the pilot is seated. Also, what's up with her not sporting bunny ears herself, y'know? Easily rectified by removing the ears that the sculptor had though to install on the mech's hips (huh?) and reapplying them behind the goggles.
Finally, and most noticeably, the cheerful and massive bunny mascot is now standing up there on the mech's outstretched hand, in a traditional "I choose you!" pose.
Painting this thing is gonna be a bitch. You may wonder why I glued the pilot in there, as surely that's going to make it harder to paint. Since the method of assembly to get her on there is to force her onto the saddle until she snaps in, I didn't fancy having to redo scraped paintjobs, frankly.
