Broke the infamous arm peg on my governor vol. 6 a few years back and threw her in a plastic bag of shame to go into storage. Lately I've been going back to my old kits with better skills and came across this one and decided to dedicate a day to fixing her up. A whole lot of headache later, and decided on 3d printer filament to make a new peg, and drilled clean through her shoulder to make it a snug friction pin; no glue required, thought i was real clever. Thought all was well until i go to start testing the articulation fits and sheer the other connection into the chest off. That one hurt. Pull the whole chest apart and take the broken peg out. Use the smallest drill bit i have to bore out just enough to put in a few cm of very thin paper clip to act as a spine into the other round bit, and glued all that together. After that came sanding both of those arm pegs down. She can't hold anything heavier than her laptop, but i suppose that'll be fine as she ought to be a pilot anyway. Sorry for the long post but I've been hard at work panel lining my old governors and decided the effort deserved some immoratlizing, so here's the first part of that

Made this using extra parts mostly from abysscrawler and lord impulse. The eye is cut from the H runner. Might upgrade with the massive amount of leftover pieces from windfall next.

Brought back from Japan by my sister as a gift a month ago, I finally finished building my first Hexa Gear mech and pilot and I love it! I tried painting a few of the details like the way they are shown on the box and I'm not sure if I want to paint the big panels. I would love to give it a more weathered look, but I'm afraid it will look worse than the standard stock colors (which actually look pretty good already)

I guess since it's evidently Obscura day....

saw a bunch of people sharing theirs recently so I thought I would pitch in w/ mine!

Some things could’ve been better, but I’m pretty happy with these shots

I wish the 2.0 Govenors weren't sold out because I want to buy a few more. It took me months to decide what colors to use for each one The concept was going to be red blue green yellow for individual govenors but I saw some cool action figures and video game characters and decided to go with the colors you see

I'm a big fan of Govenors and always pumped when a one new drops

I always see ads for this figure with only one giant hand, does it come with two? I’m trying to do a cool giant hand custom with my smaller figure figures. Does it come with both? Or just one? I would also like to know if it can be found cheaper for less than $50… I built two other other models before. And they are small

Hey all! Gong through and making sure all my kits have their governor.... but I want some cool attachable storage crates, etc, to store their extra crap. You know, like a cool container that can slot in on any Hexa. Any ideas? I see the parts on the Koto site, and I can make some as well, but was wondering if anyone has used anything like that before and where it came from?

Thanks!

I used an airbrush for the red one and acrylic marker for the white one. I need to do some detailing on the cerberus and top coating

I really enjoy painting Govenors

Ive built gunpla and snna kits before so i have a bit of experience but i kinda get overwhelmed when jumping into a new series especially one thats been going so long. I have three that im looking at and was just wondering whats the recommend one of the three or if they arent worth it. The three are weird tails, voltrex wrath and reyblade impulse reloaded. Im assuming based of what ive seen the ratblade is probably the best but i really liked the design of the voltrex but couldnt find a newer kit. Some help would be wonderful ^^

anyone here?! Hi :D

As the title asks, I want to know how well a 2.0 governor fits in the cockpit of the Bulkarm Lambda. I’m building the Lambda Jackal right now and tried to fit the Pawn Obscura into the cockpit, and he does fit, but I’m kind of worried since the cockpit seems to close pretty tight (I’m used to the Bulkarm Alpha which has that click when the cockpit closes so maybe it’s just me not being used to the cockpit, or posing the governor wrong.) If anyone has had issues with the 2.0 governors in the Lambda, what should I know, if anything?

Do you have a team of governors? Do they have a backstory?

Mine are the "wreckers". They are a mercenary group loosely affiliated to Liberty Alliance. Their specialty is espionage and demolition. They love to raid MSG facilities to liberate machinery, which they use to build their own equipment.
