I'm Back!!!

Okay, at least I hope I can show you something more detailed soon...
I have been very busy with other things, so I almost had no time to follow garage kits, communities and such, just got a huge spark of "I wanna do some garage kit" some time ago and so I started to do something again.

I'll attach two pictures in this post, one of the "final" version of my Sazabi, it still has to be primed but he's done; the other one is the view of two hands I'm building for two different models.
I set some fixed points about the models I'm making, here are some:

-Absolutely NO WEAPONS, because I want to depict different scenes instead of usual warfare ones, quoting my patron saint Eisaku Kito and his series "An Antique Machine In Peaceful Times" that appeared on SMH.
Old war machines must find new roles is this world. I want to make anti-war models.

-Mechas are not piloted, but are often accompanied by some characters, they may be friends, co-workers, repairers.
I think that all mechas in this world are more like androids, with intelligences of their own.

-Almost all of the mechas have a bigger arm, you see it in Sazabi, you'll see it on other models.
That's why those two hands are for different models.

-I want to mix races, animals, creatures, to create a sort of space-fantasy world, it will blend many of my favorite artists' styles, I'm trying to get most of the influences from Moebius, Eisaku Kito, Makoto Kobayashi, Ryuichiro Kutsuzawa, Keita Amemiya, Philippe Druillet, Star Wars' worlds, Katsuya Terada, Takuhito Kusanagi.

-All the models are mode to fit a 1/35th scale, no exceptions.

So, in the future you may see:

-Albabalbi, the massively modified Sazabi and his friend Henson Chihuato.

-A kitbash, it started from a Neo Shaian and got heavily inspired by my Sazabi, with a little more influence by Takayuki Takeya's Cambria. Anyway, it may be put in a scene with a creepy buddy.

-Gebuler, a.k.a. Gebler, the running robot with two HUGE wheels instead of the feet, racing against Stabreko the lizard man on his motorbike.

-A space engineered Breda.

-Zari Girbo, the fat worker mecha.

-A big kitbash, it will be quite a giant when compared to figures, it's almost a scratchbuild inspired by Last Order's karate robots and Makoto Kobayashi's ZZ Gundam.

-Some armored suits walking away from the harvest along with an old tank.

So, I'm trying to make haste so you can see something soon...
