BB-8

#1 Post by Ant »

Bandai 1/12 scale - comes with R2-D2

Amazing little kit - can be built without glue & paint, or easily painted due to parts breakdown, no masking required! Come with a clever little stand that allows the body to be rotated to any position, and the head set at any angle.

The only extra I added was the blue flame on the "thumbs up" torch, made from a tiny bit of stretched clear sprue

Very cool! Love it.
I've been contemplating picking up some Bandai kits, they really that good? The movable parts kinda scare me with the paint.

They are very well engineered, but primarily as snap fit no paint kits. Which makes painting very easy!
