At 3:43 OWWWW!!!! Very attractive color choices I must say.

[@ScaleModelKitReview]

Thank you.

I bought this kit about 6 months ago. I haven't had time to build it. After seeing your video, I'm glad because I don't think I would have done it justice. You nailed the color perfectly. When I do build it, I will use your video as reference. Excellent build. Thanks

[@ScaleModelKitReview]

Thank you so much.

Ace the music

[@ScaleModelKitReview]

Thanks, this was a fun project.

[@vortexspinner4470]

Beautiful model. With a build that's beautifully executed.. Wow! She's the original influence on all (dare I say) sexy metal. The "TWINS" in the game Atomic Heart was most definitely influenced by Maria. Just pre-ordered this model.. Can't wait.

This was a terrific build. Hard to resist getting this model-- it is such a great influence on robot history. Plus good materiel call-out.

[@ScaleModelKitReview]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you.

GREAT build video...I really appreciate the time you took showing all stages of construction. Your choice of paint and the lighting design was beautiful. Congrats on a job wonderfully done! The undergating will come in handy for X-Plus if they decide to do plated editions in the future. They've indicated that there will be at least one alternate version of this kit with the Maria Robot in a sitting position...

[@ScaleModelKitReview]

Awesome, thank you! Thats what I thought. Cheers

[@sebsi23]

Looks great! How did you get the lettering to pop on the back of the chair?

[@ScaleModelKitReview]

It’s been a while, I think I just dry brush the lettering.

[@gensolo83]

Superb job. You must have done a little research on the original color of the costume because that looks like a good mix of gold and silver.

[@ScaleModelKitReview]

Yes, you are right

[@hawkleytomunculus228]

That's a beautiful silver/gold finish, I recently picked up this kit and I'll be using this as a painting guide. Btw, what is the choral music that plays at the start of the video?

[@ScaleModelKitReview]

Thank you, I don't remember the name, sorry

[@derekwhitaker4905]

Wow! Steve you’ve done the most fantastic job on this beautiful kit. I’ve just received mine in the post today and if I can do only half as good as you then I’ll be pleased! Did I see you drilling out the eyes Steve? Wonder why you did that my friend. Stupendous. I’ve just reserved the Cyclops from Seventh voyage of Sinbad also by X Plus,will you be giving that a go too? Respect.

[@ScaleModelKitReview]

Thank you, yes I drilled them out so they would stand out. I also have preordered the cyclops and next version of vamperella.

[@vichamby4217]

What brand of glue is that you use in the black bottle with the applicator and where can I get it?

[@ScaleModelKitReview]

Model Master Liquid Cement, or you can use Revell Contacta Professional Liquid Glue, or Faller Plastic Glue, they all have the fine applicator tip.

[@vichamby4217]

@@ScaleModelKitReview thank you for getting back with me I enjoy your videos you do great stuff. Thanks again.

[@sebsi23]

How can a 12v battery power all of those LEDs? I can only get mine to power four.

[@ScaleModelKitReview]

It worked for me, you can see it on the video.

[@sebsi23]

@@ScaleModelKitReview Yes I can see that. I'm using 5mm LEDs. Do you know if the 3mm you're using draw less power?

[@sebsi23]

And finally (maybe; thanks for these responses): did you wire this in series or parallel?

[@SHONNER]

I don't get why they give you so much plastic that ends up being hidden when assembled?

[@ScaleModelKitReview]

Its all part of the sculpture / costume.
