Here is
one of those models that won't die...I have re-built, re-painted, and re-thought this kit so often over the past 20
years! Yes I have had THIS EXACT model LONGER than I had my
first wife! Now what does that tell you about this model
builder....ha, ha, ha, ha.

The
most recent inspiration for this model was very much related to me getting my first
tattoo. The beauty of the markings all over the mech's amour was an idea that came to me during my tattooing
process: Imagine a village in the future, ravaged by whatever needing someone, or
something to come from the ashes to save them. A mechanical engineer, a pilot, and a group of people that won't
quit! So all I was thinking was a kick-ass mech, Fin Fannel...and
a lot of desire...

All the markings on this mech are
hand-painted from my imagination—no guides, no direction, just the thoughts of those people putting all of
their hearts into the salvaging of this mech, and then painting on
their blessings before it was sent off into combat!
