Test fitting the IMAI Gerwalk while finishing up the M.Lover Lieea. 
I don’t know why but I love these old kits soooo much. The detailing and fit is interesting I suppose, but they are so endearing. The price is right and it’s fun putting lipstick on a pig. Not sure if that’s the right expression?

Will this be a straight build and paint plan? Or will you be adding a few touches?

Very cool.

Still gotta say that Imai was way ahead of their time

@nightmareB4macross I need to hunt down some official art and see what’s missing and if I want to add anything. There isn’t a blaster so maybe I take that on somehow. 

@Big s They have some wonky parts which is totally manageable, but I agree they were ahead of their time for sure. I really like the scale and proportions of this Gerwalk. Going to be lots of masking/painting fun.

The Imai kits do have a certain charm, and can actually be nice builds when some work is put into them:
