Thanks everyone...I must be messing something up as these legs assemblies have to be clamped and Tenaxed to fit perfectly...you'll see when I post the pic later...still have to work on some gaps there...
 
WOW its been eons since I've seen these kits and now they are coming back. Very cool stuff.

I'm seeing these on forums and very over priced on Evil Bay- where can you score a couple of these?

It really has nothing to to with ebay, they are limited production stuff and some of the original series stuff is fairly rare. Truth is, the best deals are found on ebay from time to time, you just have to be vigilant.

:v

Jeeves, this is looking good, I'm really envious that you have so many of these. I can't wait to get my hands on the Hornisse.

Keep up the good work.
 
Thanks guys!!

Hobbylink Japan has some good prices on these...and there are real good deals at times. My collection was the result of visiting Virginia and catching up with buddho...a good and generous man ;). I have a handful and some Mecha as well that I plan on building with my boy Luke...

Well, this is gonna be fun to watch ! What are you using on the seams ? Mr. Dissolver! I say that cuz... it looks kind of Beige ...

I have 2 suits in 35th... tiny little things... Maybe I should try to find some in 1/20th ? would be fun to work on something without the Magnifier once in a while... LOL

Did yours come with Multi-media stuff i.e. grills and springs or tubes ???

The engines look pretty spiffy !!!

Good luck with it ! Will be watching !
 
Sorry I didn't see this reply...I'll answer your questions first :)

I use Mr. Surfacer 500...more like a dark grey as you'll see in the following pics... :ro:

This one came with springs, copper rod, and a few other fiddly bits...I don't have all the springs attached yet as I am trying to decide on a scheme first...

Here is where I am now...more seam filling...miles to go before I sleep :soldier
