I bought this kit.. easily around two years ago now, but only just got to it on my build pile. I’ve got a Raven Geno to go, too, and after building this I’m slightly dreading it, so I’ll have a break with other kits before getting to it. 

The PGS is very nice overall when it’s put together; it has an amazing shape, a great profile, it’s really iconic and just awesome when it comes through. It does have some downsides though in engineering which I at least had forewarning on, such as the small intricate leg pieces that build the bulk of it’s legs (the front armour over the knee, and the core/cockpit part of the chest. I deliberately omitted the eye overlays on this one because I just dreaded the thought of cracking them even while being as gentle as possible. Additionally, the tail anchor was not thought through and demands more support for the mobility it’s offering without it wriggling loose. 

However, that said, I’d take building another one of these over building another Blade or Shield Liger any day. 

For this I didn’t do too much dramatically different – I love the stock blue on it so much – but changed up the base purple by coating over it with a gloss sparkly plum enamel which is hard to accurately photograph, but makes the kit have an overall big pop. The only part I didn’t do the purple on was a small part of the forearm, which gives a really nice contrast. Touched up the silvers, touched up the weaponry, did a contrast gunmetal on the illusion generators for the legs for the front panels, and otherwise did linework and detailing. 

I suspect to match them up I’ll do a similar contrast/gloss metallic pop with the red on my Raven one, but much later. I need a break from a Geno ahaha. The Death Stinger is my next priority while I finish basing the last parts for the Hiou Mk-II.
