This was my entry for the Female Mecha Contest on MMC. Karen Joshua's RX-79(G) GM-Head. It's my first airbrushed mecha kit, and my first modded kit. I used a head from a MG GM kit as a base to make the GM Ground head with pla-plate and tamiya quick-type putty.

I built this Polar Lights Mach 5 kit as a birthday present for my mom. She's an old-school Speed Racer fan-girl She loves it and keeps it on her desk.
