discussion Is this Sci-fi or what?!!

Evening Chaps,
Well,I guess this is a bit presumptuous,as I've not even received this yet!! ?!! ...
,... However,the great God of a certain Rain Forest,assures me that it'll be with me Monday morning :smiling3:
As a real divert from my normal stuff I'm gonna have a crack at this....

It won't look like this when I'm done... I'm going for a "SS / Nazi officer "type Robo Garb :smiling3:
As I said,I haven't even got it yet, but I'm looking forward to it already... anyone who like to pop in will be very welcomed of course!! :smiling3:
Until it arrives and I unbox it.....

Well Si...
... it's "Star Wars" to start with,but no so sure it'll look that way when I'm done with it mate !!
Hope you'll stay with it along the way through buddy!!

 

[adt70hk]

well I've seen it all now!!

 

[The Smythe Meister]

well I've seen it all now!!

Nah, not really Andrew!!
.... I've always liked the Star Wars type stuff,(though not particularly the "recent" films), but these things and the "Walkers" have kept my attention
This kit will allow me to blend both my liking if the At's and fascination of the SS Uniforms.... as a kinda "What if".

 

[adt70hk]

All I can say is.........BONKERS!

"Bonkers" indeed Sir !!

 

[Steve-the-Duck]

What..?

 

[Gern]

Is that the Bandai kit? If so, you'll be well pleased with the quality.

 

[Mickc1440]

Are they adding more ingredients to your water down there mon ami? I'm definitely in

I built this a fair while back an really enjoyed the ease at which it almost falls together, a couple of points though,
Don't get too hung up on the 'interior cabin paintwork, you can see next to nothing when it's all assembled,
And be 'gentle' if you use enamel washes, Bandai plastic seems to crumble especially around parts that are under pressure..(leg joints parts), when exposed to too much enamel thinner...(don't leave it to 'pool up').. other than that enjoy it dude..

[Valeron]

That looks really good. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it

 

[Jim R]

Well this is gonna be something not to miss.

 

[Mr Bowcat]

I also built this a while ago, in German WW2 camo. As mentioned, be careful of enamel products on this kit.

I saw Phil Flory's build where he used enamel. The plastic literally crumbled in his fingers but full marks to him, he got it back together and finished.

You and me both. Off topic. New season of Mandalorian starts next month

 

[Mini Me]

Question Re: crumbling plastic, is that the case with ALL Bandai kits or just this one in particular. I have the 1/72 X-wing fighter in line for the Movie GB and I never shoot anything but enamel paint through my A/B.

 

[Mr Bowcat]

I've only ever heard of the issue with the AT-ST, but I guess it could effect other kits. Best bet is to test on a bit of sprue first.

 

[langy71]

Totally agree with Bob, a quick test now can save you shed loads of heartache when you've put your heart and soul into a build,

(I'm sure I never had any probs with my AT-ST or my X-Wing, but I wouldn't risk it)

Does it lay eggs????
