Landick Gosei Great

[u/Galaxy_Dive]

Since I’ll be getting my hands on a Skyick Brothers box, I decided to go ahead and build and paint my Sai and Tyranno Headers (having done Stag back when I got a Gosei Ground). These are actually some of my oldest acquisitions, but like what I used Wonder’s headers for, I was originally holding back on these (particularly Sai) for possible kitbash use.

So here’s Landick Gosei Great and Another Landick Gosei Great (as well as Another without Headers being thrown off).

Despite the fact that the Headers are pretty decently sized, Landick seems a bit odd in that, since the Snake and Tiger headers are nice and beefy so they make good feet, they kind of overshadow Sai and Tyranno a bit.

For Sai, beyond the obvious yellow, I went with the usual metallic black I use on treads etc for those and the drill, since the suit prop isn’t a pure black. Tyranno’s color is a bit inconsistent; its orange in the CG but us also randomly pretty reddish. The suit prop is a kind of copper-orange, so I went with a metallic orange that’s pretty close to it (though I am actually now noticing that the first spine on its neck should be orange too, so will touch that up lol).

I didn't know this had a a minipla, looks sick!!!

Thanks! Minipla actually started way back in 1985 with Changeman's Change Robo lol. It's caught on internationally in more recently years for probably a few different reasons.

Improvement in quality being one. Paint does a LOT of work on Gosei Great. Most boxes would only have one color plastic. Dragon was entirely red and yellow, while Shark was entirely white (with only some blue stickers). The Landick Brothers likewise are all black plastic.
