discussion Star Wars R5-d4 Bandai 1/12

[Guest]

Hello,


Just completed this one right on the last day of the year. An awesome pre-painted kit and no glue needed at all. The kit comes with 2 astrodroids: the famous R2-D2 and this one.


The R2-D2 still in progress so I finished this one first as trial and error kit, and it turns out quite nice.


I painted the whole kit all over again using Tamiya enamels & Mr. Hobby lacquer because I wanted to battle damaged it.

I'm not too keen on these snap together kits, but you've done a great job on this one Leo. Really liking the chipping and grime.


And an Happy New Year to you and yours.
