Talk about a fun kit to build...a little bit of psr, some airbrushing, and I am done.  Probably going to scratch up the missile launchers (shoulder mounted), but all in all, it was really a blast!

Which Gundam kits did you use for the basis of that? I think I can recognize a few bits but none well enough to make a definite ID...nice job!

This is the little guy...I have to tell you, I am seriously impressed with the level of engineering that went into this kit, I would have to rank it among the ten best fitting kits I have ever assembled !

I'll have to dig out and post my Zaku II FZ "Death's Head Custom" Nice job Cuthulu

Used to build a lot of Gundam kits once upon a time -- I have a STACK of them in my stash ranging from the godawful (MSZ-0010 FAZZ Full Armor Double Zeta, from 1980 or so) to the fantastic (2 Kampfer mobile suits from Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket). The slickest invention in the history of injection-molded plastic comes from Bandai: System Injection. You get sprues with more than one colour (often up to four) molded in the same part, with brilliant colour separation. Why Bandai hasn't licensed this to other kit makers is beyond me. Bandai mobile-suit kits are without a doubt the best engineered model kits out there today -- they even make Tamiya and Hasegawa kits look like 50's Box Scale Revell lumps!

Hmm. Gotta get back to one of my Kampfers one of these days I was planning on doing it up in Wehrmacht "ambush" camo complete with a GI Joe MG-38...

Wow is that cool! It amazes me what you're able to pull off in just one afternoon.
