misterryno Posted May 9, 2008 Author Share Posted May 9, 2008 Wow... you're actually modding it. A member here once made a mod that gave it a swiveling torso, maybe you'll want to take a stab at that! Yeah.....I know.....I'm nuts! It looks good thus far but I don't know if I hav ethe balls to go for the swivle torso. That me be too much for me to handle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicked Ace Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 (edited) Great, thanks W.A. As terrible as those little toys were, I still miss mine 20-odd years later I found this one in a box of toys tucked away at my parents' house. I recall having the Stick version, too, but I haven't located it. As a child, I couldn't get both the larger Gakken Ride Armor (a.k.a. Robotech Cyclone) and the big Legioss/Alpha, so I settled on the smaller versions. Edited May 9, 2008 by Wicked Ace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterryno Posted May 10, 2008 Author Share Posted May 10, 2008 Well....I did some paint modifications to the Gakken Legioss I recently purchased to make it more "anime accurate". The only problem area thus far is the cannon which I totally goofed up on and jest ended up making it pretty inaccurate. It will do for the time being. I still have quite a bit of work to do. This is what I have for now. ENJOY! MORE TO COME! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Arms Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Good job MR!!! Are you going to add stickers to the legioss? We need a pinned thread on cleaning and finishing old toys. Some of my old Gakkens could use a thorough cleaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rei Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 MR Great score on the Gakken and thanks for the pics. Are you going to add stickers to the legioss? Hells yeah..hook him up with some decals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterryno Posted May 11, 2008 Author Share Posted May 11, 2008 THANKS Golden Arms & rei! I TOTALLY need some really nice Gakken Legioss Decals so that I can make the beauty look even better. I need to finish the painting though. I still need to pick up the proper blue color. I think I may do that today. Can someone PLEASE hook me up with some bad a$$ decals/stickers for this Legioss?!? LET ME KNOW PLEASE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danth Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 The paint job so far looks great, MisterRyno, but most of the chest and wing area should be blue. Are you going to paint those areas too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you going to paint those areas too? THANKS!!! Yes over time. I am not COMPLETLY sure that I will work on the chest all that much but I will be doing the wings for sure. I am going out in a few min. to go and look for some blue paint that will match perfectly (I hope). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be hard to match colors. I'm not speaking from any experience here, but maybe you should let the paint dry on some other piece of white plastic to make sure it will really be the same color.

I went out and got some blue paint. It seems to be the closest one to the correct shade. I've considered it and I think I'm gonna give the Legioss a complete work over, so it's gonna take some time. I'll keep everyone up to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 You'll always be your own worst critic on these. My prediction, you'll paint it but the slight differences in color will eventually drive you nuts... so then you'll strip the whole thing, primer it, repaint it, and buy some after market stickers. Regardless of whether or not my prediction holds true, you've already done a better job than I could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm prob. gonna redo all the blue so it matches and then have to redo the white. THANKS for the props!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll prob. buy another one down the road. think I might get the green one first next time around. Because you needed the money. I've been there. Five years ago I went through a transitional period with a new home in a new city and a new job and I ended up getting rid of about 5 or 6 boxes worth of stuff that I'd rather not detail lest it bring tears to my eyes. Thing is, the vast majority of this stuff is always out there in one place or another and you can always start over and buy things back. It's not like you sat down in an alley and ate all of your Faberge Eggs or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eriku Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I bet passing a handful of diamonds through your colon does wonders to scrape away all that red meat that builds up. Alright!
