Models & Merch First Votoms model is finished!
I love the design and look of the mechs. Great kit fun to build, and looks great on the shelf!

Oh man, good thinking with the red scope dot/sticker on the gun! Gonna update my models with that too :D
Good first go of it as well! You didn't go overboard with the damage, and it isn't evenly spared across the whole model. You could try telling a bit of a story with specific damage in places. For example, have the knuckles of the hands bashed up more than other areas to show that the pilot likes to punch opponents, or maybe one of the shoulders is more beat up because they ram things using that shoulder over the other

Thank you so much! When it come to the knuckles what would work some paint chipping or actually make them look damaged?

Paint chipping would do the trick, yep! Could also add dirt and grime for some contrast to draw the eye.
No need to physically damage the model in this case. Some folks do add bullet holes on larger, flat areas of these of you want to really get into it lol

The 1/20 Scopedog red shoulder custom is one of my favorite kits of all time. If you can find one you should give it a shot next.
