nightmareB4macross Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Maaaa Cuuuu RoSSSS!!! ta, ta... ta, da, da. These kits sure bring back some very fond memories of the good old days. Nice work, kindredd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big F Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 That old kit is worth the bother, you did it justice. For something made 20 years ago. it still holds it own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jardann Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Looks like you did a great job on that kit! I've always liked it's proportions in all three modes, but especially Battroid. It really was an amazing kit for it's day. That gerwalk is nice too. IMHO, the stock nose and hands are the only drawbacks to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a while since I built a glue kit and managing all the seamlines was an issue (really hate sanding!) Still, I cant avoid it nor can I accept too many obvious seams so its putty and paint all the way. Maybe I will work on some Zero kits next...

BlueMax Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Nice builds! the only thing i did not like about the non transformable ger-walk/ fighter kits is that the nose shape is...... wierd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vi-RS Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 These Imai/Bandai kits are the best deal in 80s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechTech Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 It just goes to show, ther's no school like the old school! The Imai kits were at the pinnacle of model engineering and still aren't shabby! - MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
