CTA Entry - Mechanical Animal

[panzerace007]

Hey Everybody ,

It's been a while ... work schedule has plumped up the Panzer Slush fund ,but has done little to give Me some Bench time ... Alas .. there's light at th end of the tunnel !!

Here's My entry ....

I believe this kit came out in th late 90's. It's from Bandai & is in 1/35th scale( and in 1/35th scale stands about 12-14' tall in scale height) !! It's fully articulated when assembled & is in the vein of Mech suits. This is actually from a set that models the Mech.s from a popular Japanime TV series - Gasaraki

I plan to replace th kit guns with some RB barrels stuff that I have laying around th Panzer Shoppe, sorry I haven't dug them out for th pic.

Not dead set on paint scheme .... :hmmm some sort of Camo !!

I'll have some WIP pix soon !!

Great to see so many builds for JOHN !!

Hey Everybody ,

Just a quick up date. Th Mech is together , but as you will see ... There a more than a few seams that need attention. There could be some left-over P.E. that finds it's way on to this Mechanical Animal !! I did find an old Jordi Rubio Tiger I barrel that I've adapted to th Warrior as His main gun ! I guess you can say that he's Fire Support/Recon :hmmm .... At this stage He is as articulated as He's gonna get. A bit bulky , but it works. I can still take him apart in a few Sub-assemblies , which will work well for th paint & weathering !!

​

I'll get some more pix up after I polish off those seams !!
