Classic style.

Very unique take on this. I like that Logo in the corner too. What's that about?

Benny would be proud.

Love that homage pic. Top notch.

Very interesting color choice. Don't think we see a lot of yellow and orange in AG.

Looks great. Lots of neat details and greebles that are visible now. I'm sure additional pics will show it off even better.

EDIT: I changed locations to Sorn Guinevere and added some more relevant tags, as per EpsilonEta's request. Changed some of the write-up too to reflect that. Kawashita Industrial Spaceport Guinevere - 3186 Tags: Special Operations, Land Vehicle, Space Vehicle "But you know I work alone." "I know you like to work alone, Koro. And I even know that putting you with someone is no guarantee you're going to behave. I know that from experience." "Then why saddle me with a partner? Seems illogical." "Because we need you and it's worth hedging my bets that having someone around will keep you in line. So just do me a favor and skip the part where you whine about it." "All right, all right. By the way, I'm glad you're not dead." "You and me both. Go meet your new friend. Run along now." When Koro got to the launchpad, the ship and his new partner were already waiting for him. Kawashita Operators tended to use industrial ports for their comings and goings on various planets, including Guinevere. This kept nosy folks away from details about their movements and allowed a certain amount of privacy and discretion for meetings like this one. Even low-ranking KG employees like dock workers knew better than to get too close to people like Koro. They loaded crates and drove awesomnium around and generally tried to mind their own business. "Agent Koro, welcome to the Hikosake. One of the fastest ships in Andromeda." "Not very discrete though." "She's got a few tricks up her sleeve. I've taken the liberty of bringing down some of your gear. It was sent over from the Section headquarters." "That's my stuff in those locked crates? What's the password?" "Raven said I don't have to tell you unless you're nice to me. Are you going to be nice to me, Agent Koro?" "If you stop calling me "Agent" it'll be a start. What do I call you?" "My name's Blue." "Real original." "I'm typically unique." "Well what's your story? Did they partner you up with me just to fly me around?" "I have... other skills too." "Like?" "Let's just say they picked me because I'm going to make your job easier." "Aren't you supposed to be my babysitter?" "That too, Agent Koro." "Just Koro." "Right. Let's hop in the ship and we'll talk some more." "Just as long as you know I didn't ask for this. I work alone." "Don't we all." Koro had to admit that the Hikosake was pretty sweet. While Blue launched them out of Orinshi's gravity well, he busied himself checking systems and finding out what he'd missed while he'd been in exile. The newsnets were full of interesting tidbits. He had a lot of catching up to do... Bonus pics in the spoiler:

Thanks. Really liked yours too. Thanks LD! Dark red. Lighting is a bit weird. Thanks. I thought the stickering would be frustrating but it was tons of fun. Would love to do it again sometime because I have more stickers but I ran out of space.

Beautiful work!

This one is pretty cute.

Another nice, simple GARC. I really like these elegant, smooth designs.

Really elegant for something so small! Good job.

The Chūrippu 502 is the hottest rod of the whole Kawashita GARC fleet. It is sponsored by Zumbi Media, Stark Industries, and a range of other Kawashita-affiliated corporations, laboratories, and organizations. The Chūrippu 502 was designed by Dr. Asuka Ross and her husband Malachi Ross, both based on Mars. The design was perfected in Mars orbit, put through its paces in every major GARC qualification track in Sol System. Though it may seem weird that a GARC cruiser be named after a flower as common as the red tulip, the Hanakotoba associates this flower with fame and charity, representing the values of its designers and all of us here at Kawashita. Any proceeds from sponsorship deals or GARC prize monies will be donated to Andromedan amputees to cover the costs of both rehabilitation and top-of-the-line Kawashita prostheses. Some additional views of the craft: And of course, the proofing shots required by Andromeda GARC authorities to make sure craft like the Chūrippu 502 are regulation sized ans spec: Builder's Notes: -This is my first ever GARC and it was tons of fun to make. The platform that the build is set on is 12x12 studs, which should be easily apparent from the top-down view. -If you look carefully, you'll notice that the "SF" racing sticker on the right side of the ship is cut up into 3 pieces. I did that on purpose and really like the effect. It was fun to play with stickers, which is usually something I don't mess around with. I'd really like to get some custom stickers! -Thanks for looking!

Only if I can be...

First pic doesn't work for me, Patrick. And good to see you. I've just been in the process of coming back too!

Thanks lads. I hope it's Book 3. I may even switch Guilds...

You deserve all the points. Send me a PM with the frame design once you have it.

Are you saying I shouldn't transfer credits to you before you purchase an item? I'm not sure I understand!

Excellent build. Spent part of my day looking at your previous builds for AG and they are some of my favorites of all the stuff I've missed. Your stories are also really well-written and your photography and figging skills are on point.

Excellent build and presentation (you deserve more than 4pts IMO). The lighting is nicely cinematic and you have some sweet figs here. Also very gratifying for me to see the Dust Demons continue to have a presence in AG after I created them just as a bad guy Koro could knock around without repercussions. So many people have contributed to them now that they have a life of their own.

Love that office. Photography is a bit dark. Do you use GIMP or Photoshop to brighten your pics? I always have to because my lighting is terrible.

Nice build. Good use of stock figs.

That would be awesome. Also, is the emblem a sticker or did you shop that?

Awesome. Just awesome. KG having the market cornered on pocket monsters makes the most sense.

Very nice microbuilds here. A whole new side to Brik!
