Theme

This kit is a cross-product of Hasegawa's Mechatro WeGo 1:35 kit (based on an anime) and the artwork of Derek Stenning.

Mr Stenning renders fantastic fictional imagery of cosmonauts in a dystopian future. I was introduced to him through Adam Savage's Tested episode about the Born in Concrete garage kit.

After buying Derek Stenning's book, I was inspired to incorporate his aesthetic into a model kit.

​

The kit itself is the Clear/Mint clear variant of the Mechatro WeGo line from Hasegawa, which I bought in Japan at Volks Models.

​

Process

I modeled and added 3D printed parts along with metal wire buckles, stained paper straps, a laser-cut dial, and a few other miscellaneous parts to achieve the end result. Brush painted with acrylics and oil washes.
