    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.....

          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".

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

                      I'm 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..

                            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.
