That's a great looking build. Especially for using that mediocre kit. Thanks for sharing. Job well done!

[Grayson72]

Yeah I like the paint scheme, too bad it's not on a Hase kit.

Hi Lu.

Not bad, not bad. I get the impression that you've been sharpening your painting skills lately, and it's starting to pay off. Just make sure no one ever finds out what you did to those poor FSS models, or they'll lymch you

Next time I stop in, maybe I can give you a few painting/weathering pointers. Quick things, that'll make a big difference.

I like the paint scheme. From those pics, looks like you did a quality job too.

[guncross2]

Thanks Pats, Cap, Gray and Jard. You guys just gave me a boost of confident.

Atmospheric booster, here I come.

Sure! drop by any time and I'm not touching those FSS until I'll b as good as u John.

Man that battroid is a thing of beauty--what a great paint job!

Makes me wish I had an airbrush and some skill with it

Can I please take a look at those FSS in question??

I've just recently got into FSS kits and would love to see any pics

sorry if it's kinda OT

[guncross2]

Thanks Whyt

JLYC I would love to but they r in one of the storage boxes '

and Gray it was done a year or so before Hase version.

[Gerwalker]

Nice! Interesting paint scheme.

BTW: I don't think we should dismiss the old kits just because of the Hase are better. They are (I love them) but these old kits are more easy to build and they don't look bad at all!! You can make three of these in the same time you build a Hase battroid and they are much cheaper!!

About the FSS models: I was toying with the idea of making a web site for bad models. Something like the crapy models assylum or nursing house... where we can post our worst models. I think it could be a very funny site.

[Ido]

we must admit that those bandai kits are more close to the series visual that the Hasegawa too.

Nice Model.

[guncross2]

I agree with Ido & Gerwalker

See Cap. I wasn't the only one preffering the old version over the Hase

The Hase kit is beautiful, don't get me wrong, I had some troubles with the hip connections and chest plate but I love that kit. What I mean is that the Bandai is not that bad if you build it with care and love... and is cheap so you can try some weird ideas: for instance make a chest open version showing the internals and cockpit...

Nice Model.

[newca]

Is that a Bandai 1/72?
