I picked up this kit earlier this week and am planning on just a rapid OOB build.

Image

This afternoon I started the building process. I gotta say that the molding alone is quite impressive. In the sprue of black parts, Bandai managed to mold the eye lens part of the helmet as a clear green

Image

Step 1 was assemble the helmet

Image

Step 2 was assemble the torso

Image

Step 3 was just putting them together…

Image

All this was about 90 minutes work. My only gripe so far is that on the back side of the lower portion of the helmet is an assembly seam. More to follow soon…

Very cool!

Bandi's multi-colour moulding is very impressive.

Yeah, you can literally build this in under 4 hours… I think I did 90 minutes on Saturday and 2 hours on Sunday total… :hmm: Adding the decals is another 1/2 hour at absolute most… :bored:

Very nice! Quick build and no painting - and a really nice rendering.
