Bandicoot and jet board

[Starryeyes]

I wouldn’t have had an opportunity to build this kit if it hadn’t been for Bob.. thank you . Getting some prep work and subassembly done today then allowing to dry. It’s a snap kit but I modified the locks for easier assembly .. he’s every bit of 8th scale ! Can’t wait to start detailing ..

He's HUUUUGE !! I knew it was big but not that big , my lack of space is your gain .
Really looking forward to this one Chuck .

Well I finally let Bandicoot out of his cage once the primer was dry to sand .. adding base colors ..

He is cool... those seams would drive me crazy though being a diorama builder... I would have had to fill them all and sand them smooth... lol!!!

I’m
Somewhat obsessed with seams as well his arms are
Possible but the seams up his arms and legs are a little crude I admit .. all in all I’m hoping it will still make for a cool shelf model ..

I wouldn't worry about the seams , we all do that occasionally .
