Hey all

I present the successor to the Visage, the Visage II!

Please pardon the almost 2 week delay between my promise of pictures, and
the follow through, I must admit though the model is much improved since two
weeks ago though.=^)

Hey, it looks well worth the wait.

The main feature of this model is the fully removable and almost studless
armor, which I must admit, was a PAIN to build. I'm never building with
removable armor again as it is such a pain to build. Especially since this
model is almost entirely studless.

I tried removable armor once, just once, before deciding it was not for me.
I tend to think that it is one of the cooler 'look-at' styles, but man, it
is a real pain to get it that way.

This must have been the longest time I’ve spent building a mecha, (four
months) it just wasn’t that much fun to build, but I really wanted to build
a studless removable armor mecha, so here it is. Whether it was worth the
wait or not I dunno.

Wow, four months!  I usually take a week max on my mechs, mostly because of
school and stuff.  Although, I must admit, several of them are like works in
progress, as they have been changed so much. (the Atlas is in it's 5
resurrection, but 4 of them were on one Saturday) I like the result of your
work, but man, just pump one out for us next time ;<)

Please excuse the varying degrees of light in the pics, I’m still working
all that photography stuff out. =^P

Hey, join the Club ;<)  I am learning too, and I have had my digicam for
almost a year.

Aside from all the frustrations that went along with the building process I
gotta say I am pleased with the final result. =^)

Hey, I like it alot too, the intricacies of the removable armor are
interesting to look at and figure out.

Let me know what you think!

Later
