MECHAGODZILLA, GODZILLAS EVIL TWIN
Corey Hrrison's mechaGodzilla
“I wanted to build Kiryu after seeing it on DVD one day. It was just one of those moments where you know you have to do something. It took a year or so to get around to it, but, I really wanted to try something new and have been a huge Godzilla fan ever since I was a kid. I Chose Kiryu because I wasn’t fully comfortable making a Godzilla suit, as all I’ve ever know is 40k Power armor, so this was an easy transition”
