    I should think Amazing Hobby would be very appropriate in this case.

        Never realised this brand had so well engineered kits. An E-100 is still on my bucket list so might consider getting one from Amuse one day. Nice start, the running gear sure looks cool!

        Cheers

          Thanks chaps......

          The engineering is beyond reproach. Almost every piece, no matter how small, has clever little protrusions which marry in to where it's supposed to go. It will only fit one way and is quite impossible to get it wrong! It's not often I'm lost for words, but I'm getting darn close with this terrific kit.

          I've glued on the lid. There is some P.E. for the engine grills.
          Again, first time fit.

              That looks marvallous indeed, really like that texture! Are you going to fit the skirts? Somehow I find these machines much more menacing looking without them.

              Cheers

                    And he does, but I've been tempted by the Centurian and they're out of stock :loudly-crying:

                      For some years I’ve been wanting to buy their Conqueror kit, but have held off until now. Reading your impressions of this one, it’s getting harder to keep putting it off …

                          I should be on commission! :hungry:

                          Skirts on.
                          This is getting boring.....Again, I simply cleaned up the sprue connecting points. The three pieces per side make up to about 9" in length. One would almost swear they were a one piece moulding!
