Hello Shawn:

Quick notes as the pictures basically tell the whole story: I would have put the landing gear on in the long-shots, but since the patterns are almost all plastic, they would have collapsed under the weight of the model. The finished, cast pieces will obviously be cast metal.

The majority of the parts have all been primed, though these have still to undergo proper finishing, panelling and riveting, as well as sealing before molds can be attempted.

Though the parts fit still looks a tad rickety, it's simply that I'm not able to use any glue on the patterns for fear of damaging them. The finished model will sport tiny hardpoints that the modeler may drill-out and fit with metal pins for extra support; thus providing for an exceptionally-sturdy model, regardless of the mode.

Oh-and here are the size comparisons against that newly released Yamato VF-1 Toy!
