Yeah, nice job btw! Im actaully trying to make a whole city with them; it takes quite a while.
Thank you!

I'd love to see pics of your city!
Your welcome!

I will post pics soon once I tidy it up a bit.

I love these!! What did you use for the outside of your buildings? I know the inside is styrofoam, but what did you use for the outside texture? Really love these.
I'm happy you like these. I use plastic knitting mesh that has been spray painted with a metallic silver. Then I cut the mesh to shape and used hot glue to put it on the foam buildings. It doesn't cost much to make them, and I find it really fun.

Also congratulations on your wedding. I like the work you're doing, and I like seeing all the images you make.

That sounds very cost efficient, I'll have to remember that. Those buildings look great.

Thanks very much for your kind words :) I hope we see more of your display!

I'm telling you guys, no matter how many other figures I mess around with, I always have to come back to the Monsterarts 54. It's just so photogenic.

It's the Revoltech Rodan. You can see the Revolver joints at the shoulders.
Well, that's certainly a thing.

Great pictures. I've got to say I that I personally enjoy the 54 images you do. They look amaxing each time.

As someone already confirmed, it is indeed the Revoltech Rodan. It's an amazing figure, to be honest. Well worth tracking down. I'm a tad bias as it's my favorite Rodan design, but you can get a lot of great poses with it. Plus I love that it comes with the tiny second Rodan that I have flying in the background.

So, thanks to all of your guys support through this, I think I'm going to go through with a pretty cool project. Since 54 is my best stuff, i think I'm going to actually try to create a mini replica of the Odo Island attack. So, you may see less city stuff from me and more of that. We'll see. But I want to try some new interesting things with more challenging buildings, and other paper models such as ships and docks.
You guys have really helped my confidence with this stuff and I truly thank you for the kind words and hope you'll like what is coming next. :)

Howdy all!

So, being inspired by ゴジマン buildings, I wanted to try to make my own. As I am always on the look out for cost-efficient, good looking buildings. So, thank you again for your tips!

Here you'll see my first attempt at one of those buildings. Enjoy!

Thank you so much! I really love how these look! Thank YOU for explaining your method for your amazing buildings! They really do work very well for a cheap, but effective method.
