Maquettes of Godzilla created by Stan Winston's team for the proposed 1994 American film that was to be directed by Jan de Bont (Speed, Twister) and released by TriStar.
This film was abandoned by TriStar when the budget was projected to be in the $110-130 million range. De Bont insisted the film could be made for $100 million or less, but TriStar insisted on a $90 million budget, so de Bont left the project.
A few years later, after the success of Independence Day (1996), TriStar contracted Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich to make Godzilla. Their film ended up costing $125 million, and leaving a bad taste that persists to this day.

"Gunpla"?: The Entire Haro Collection
Above, you have the Haro Basic line (with one exception). Then, we have a new line, of Ball Haro, Sangoku Soketsuden Haro, Momoharo, and Zakrello. Finally, we have the Tri-Star Haros. That's most of the Haropla line in its entirety (plus one from the SD SS line). These images above comprise the main Haro line... well, minus a few. I'll get to those. You'll note of course i got 3x the tri star haro so i could have one of each number. All of these have been panel lined, and some of them have had molotow liquid chrome applied to some limbs. Oh yeah, i believe they have all been buffed to 10000 grit with Godhand sponges. I believe the Ball Haro also has some GM154 metallic green gundam marker on the eyes.
And you might be saying "wait, aren't there two separate green haros that aren't from the SDSS line?" and the answer is Yes! The Haro Basic Green is sitting on another shelf alongside my HGTO RX-78-2:
But that guy can't open his mouth, so he hangs out on that shelf.
Here's some more angles
Finally, here are the Haro suits! These guys were a real joy to put together. First up we have the Haroloader, this thing was a joy!
This has been panel lined. The arms were panel lined with molotow liquid chrome and some surfaces coated in it. Also, silver and bronze sharpies in some places? I'm surprised those came out looking half decent at all but the effect is kinda subtle and hard to see in pictures. Maybe you can pick out which surfaces are which?
Next up, the Harofitter:
I forgot to put the cat ears up on the Harofitter for the photoshoots i was doing today :( Anyway this guy has also been panel lined, and the little roller has been coated in one of the metallic dark blue gundam markers. You can see in the second photo it is "working on" the injection mold machine (a review for another post).
Finally, the Haroloader:
Also panel lined and such. But here's a surprise:
They're girlfriends!
Here's some more Haro pics I feel are worth showing off:
This was the first Haro I did, and here it is with a tiny Amuro Ray in its mouth.
Here's it with a larger sibling (to be reviewed in another post)
And here's a look at how glossy i made it just by buffing.
Finally, here's a HUGE BLOCK of stats for nerds!

Say what you will about the 1998 Godzilla film, but can we all agree this mf had a baller fuckin design, whether or not you consider this thing Godzilla, it still looks rad as shit.
Plus the follow up animated series cleansed this iterations sins to some degree
