Calling this finished now.
MG leo space type conversion.
Base kit is an MG tallgeese, with 3d printed leo parts, sourced from a maker on taobao (has since stopped making them)
"Eye" lens is a piece of packaging plastic, with aurora film stuck to the back then painted clear yellow.
Also added some metal photoetch to the shoulder and backpack vents, as well as replacing the cloaca thruster with a metal part with photoetch inner.

MG Leo space type 3d printed conversion update 
most of the armour pieces painted, but had a few problems, decal on the right shoulder seems to have melted and slumped, was probably too liberal with the decal softer, will need to sand and repaint that, plus the knees look too boring, so planning to laser cut some masking to make the raised circle details a dark grey.
Also, I have a problem with the mr mark setter solution leaving residue that shows through the matte topcoat, will have to be more diligent with cleaning that up in future.

Have ordered some 1/100 Leo water decals from taobao, so this is on hold til they arrive.
