Megaman Production Art Scan of the Day #787:

Shingo Adachi's Story of Meteor Artbook: Page 52

I'm failing to add a translated page to this, but the only real notation on here at the center of the page is merely saying shuriken color at the top, and hand color below, as Shinobi Rockman is in that blurry throwing motion. As well as flames moving forward from Dino War Rock's mouth in the bottom left piece.

Megaman Production Art Scan of the Day #762:

Shingo Adachi's Story of Meteor Artbook: Page 27

No, those weird dark line cuts are not from my scanner, it really was printed that way. It's more noticeable at full view in this resolution, so it appears his scans of Hayaya and the Tribe art were on multiple pieces of paper and they weren't aligned perfectly before being captured for this book.

While I haven't fully cleaned it up for Scan of the Day, you can still see a cleaner scan of Hayaya's settei here, that I have already posted.

Tribe key art for clarification on his missing Subaru and Rockman:

And yes, Adachi, I liked that other idol rival of Misora's, too...

*ahem*...I mean, who? (thanks, Ian! LOL)

Go ninja, go ninja, go!

Flawless? Not even close. But I’m so psyched to finally have this Wood Ninja/Green Shinobi Rockman kit put together!

It was so nice to have a kit that glued and set smoothly, without having to really trim or drill anything to interlock. It’s balancing just fine, with nothing to hold it, despite the weight not being balanced. And it just looks so dang cool! Other than the obvious kits I’d long for, that’ll likely never get made, this was like top of my list of wanted figures. So it’s a little more satisfying to see it all done.

I give up on black detail lines, though. No matter if it’s a fine tip sharpie, or paint pen, the tip is never fine enough. That gets too frustrating, especially if it bleeds. The metallic blue I used on the transparent wind cyclone resin on Subaru’s arm actually turned out really nice, though.

I really want to keep working on more kits, but know I need to flip my focus to drawing, rather than painting and assembling again. So I probably won’t work on another Hobby Rock figure until I’m done with 30th Anniversary stuff.

Dang right I tried this time!

Ninja and Dinosaurs and Lightning Bolts, oh my!

Tribe form (and Burai) sticker art from the 2008 Wave Masters event and alternate concept art of those forms.

Because one of these forms is heavily on my mind right now...for reasons...

Scanned from: Shooting Star Rockman Official Complete Works, Circa March 2009.

Following up last week’s request, a few more Wave Command Card Kit images for @shaiapouf. This set has Gemini Spark and Rogue Sword’s set of Normal/SP/EX cards, along with another trio of Giga cards, and Mega Man’s 3 main Tribe forms from Star Force 2.

Scanned from: Megaman Star Force 2 Wave Command Card Kit, by Prima Games, Circa March 25, 2008

New Hobby Rock purchases from “The Final” event now in hand! 

I got the Shadow Style Rockman kit by Planeswalker, which I wanted the most, for ninja reasons, and Mokocchi’s Auto. Because, well, could you honestly turn down Ariga card art of sexy pose Auto sliding! sliding! into your DMs like that? XD A couple other kits intrigued me this year, but I just wasn’t drawn to a lot of this year’s characters or sculpts, sadly. So I went ahead and only purchased these two. 

Gotta say, Auto’s is the most detailed, well-put together instruction manual I’ve ever had from any of the kits I’ve bought. And it probably has the cleanest pieces, with hardly any hanging resin to trim or sand down. Looks like it’ll be fun to put together, once I get it all painted. I’m not used to the kits with movable joints, but it seems like it’ll be similar to the Kotobukiya figures.

Even though I still have enough of a backlog of other Hobby Rock figures to assemble, I’ll probably start over the next few weeks on Shadow Style first, so I can have it together with Shadow Man and Wood Ninja.
