The Schpeltor (entry in Gearsonline) is the 5th in the Volks 1/100 IMS line, and was my third IMS kit after the Vatshu the Black Knight and Bang Doll. It has a very elegant design unlike the more armored LED Mirage, and I especially like the design of the shoulder armor. The IMS kit is… Continue reading Schpeltor K.O.G. 1/100 IMS kit from Volks

Jagd Mirage: Both 2992 : 1/100 HSGK Volks resin kit
The Jagd Mirage was a monster in every sense of the word. You can read the details of the Jagd at Gearsonline, but at a towering 43.9 meters it is 3x the regular Mortar Headds. You can tell from the size comparison with the Schpletor. I had very mixed feelings about the MH. When the Twin… Continue reading Jagd Mirage: Both 2992 : 1/100 HSGK Volks resin kit
S.S.I.KUBALKANS the BANG -破烈の人形- 1/100 Volks IMS kit
This rendition of the Bang Doll is the first in Volk’s IMS line that is based on injection molding. The sculpts so far are excellent, and the casting is good. They really tried to make the details as crisp as possible, for example in the Bang the edges are all super sharp and if you… Continue reading S.S.I.KUBALKANS the BANG -破烈の人形- 1/100 Volks IMS kit
LED Mirage with Boomerang Unit – 1/100 Wave kit
The old Wave injection kit was reviled by many, but it’s about the only kit you can get the flight backpack combo for a very reasonable price of 6800yen. The Boomerang unit offered here is a crisply cast vinyl kit. There’s some fit issue as with the rest of the kit does, but the finished… Continue reading LED Mirage with Boomerang Unit – 1/100 Wave kit
IMS #7: Terror Mirage from Volks
I haven’t bought any hobby magazines for years and suddenly gotten the urge after blogging about my Black Knight. Well what do you know, people don’t put interesting ads in them anymore! I was in particular hoping to learn what Volk’s next Five Star IMS kit is, but could only find that online, that it’s… Continue reading IMS #7: Terror Mirage from Volks
Vatshu the Black Knight – FSS – 1/100 Volks IMS kit
I had my doubts after Volk’s KOG debut in the injection kit arena, but with the advent of 3D designs they have gotten it right with the IMS line of kits. To be honest I haven’t followed the scene for a long time (stopped buying hobby magazines ages ago) so I didn’t know what these… Continue reading Vatshu the Black Knight – FSS – 1/100 Volks IMS kit
Wave 1/100 FSS Led Mirage Prince Sarion with Flame Launcher
Now that I have a somewhat different approach to modeling and photography, I’ve been looking to redo/reshoot some of my old kit that is still around. This Wave 1/100 kit was at one point my pride and joy… mostly because it was such a hassle to build because of poor fit and my lack of… Continue reading Wave 1/100 FSS Led Mirage Prince Sarion with Flame Launcher
Led Mirage with Flame Launcher (Prince Sarion version) 1/100 Wave
Introduction Scale 1/100 Maker Wave Completed 3/25/00 Retail 4200yen I’ve read some Five Star Stories, but not enough to claim myself an expert. Led Mirage is supposed to be the strongest mirage in Five Star Stories (or so its name claims), and is capable of great destruction with the flame launcher. Prince Sarion’s version has… Continue reading Led Mirage with Flame Launcher (Prince Sarion version) 1/100 Wave
