Now, I'm new to this board and I've seen several fullscale (and model) Marias in person (Replicas made for the movie studios in Babelsberg)
but your model tops all of them.

I Had to save those images because I can't stop looking at them.

Awesome work B) :thumbsup

Please post more pics.

Nice job.
That's looks really great. I wish I had picked one of those up years ago when they were the "poor stepchild" of Robby and B-9 and you could get a deal on them at any convention.

I have an abomination of an "action figure" of her that was done with an embarrassingly huge chest. Tragically, it's the only representation of Maria I have.

I may start trolling eBay for that now seeing what a spectacular job you did with the kit.

Keep us updated on your progress please.

Vaderman...thanks for the compliment. You can still find these on eBay every now and then. Also, check this out...Monsters In Motion is selling them apparently...

I have been told by someone who bought from them that it's the real deal.

just got my kit in, wow, that waist seam is definetly something to clean up, not even very even to each other, any more tips on working with that area? Otherwise beautiful kit... btw, what type of batteries are supposed to go in this base, lol

The golden colour comes from the Sculptor who did an interview years after making the film. Said it was spraypainted a silvery-bronze colour (described in German as "weissmetall" which can be any brass/bronze colour.)

I'm not trying to start a controversy here, but I saw this online :

Saatchi Art Artist: Stephen Peace; Digital 2014 Photography "MARIA THE ROBOT, METROPOLIS, Limited Edition 1 of 50"

Obvously somebody photoshopped the hell out of Forbidden Zone's work and put it up for sale.

Wait so changing colors in photoshop is art now? I'm in the wrong line of work.
