Bandai "The Going Merry"

Post by Floki »

1st Bandai makes great kits and this was a really fun build! Luffy and the rest of the Strawhat Pirates are now ready to sail. The Going Merry was the first real ship of the Strawhat Pirates, Luffys first ship wasn't much more than a rowboat. They sailed her all through the East Blue and into the Grand Line up to Water 7 when she was so badly damaged she just couldn't go anymore. Leaving her at Water 7 the crew went out to rescue Robin their translator and archaeologist who had been captured by the world government. The spirit of the ship knowing they was in trouble reached out to the shipwright Iceberg telling him she wanted to set sail one last time so she could rescue her crew. Here she is looking brand new on the Grand Line floating on a base of carved foam.

Also the clip I mentioned above
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

That is quite a lovely piece of work! Well executed.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Thank you Bruce! Bandai really made a great kit! I can't wait to get the Thousand Sunny and build her.

Cute little thing. You sure captured the spirit and look of anime in this build.
