Aur0ra145's Bandai Clone Trooper

Post by aur0ra145 »

Howdy folks!

I was away a bit for some work obligations, now I'm back. In addition, I got the covid after returning home. Honestly, mine is a super mild case, I thought it was just seasonal allergy sniffles; but, the wife made me take a test after getting home, and well, I'm positive. What that does mean, is I get a 5 day quarantine to the man-cave, with access to the garage. So it's model time!

First up is this Bandai Clone Trooper. Goal is to finish it in a day, starting now!

This will be built in the phase two configuration

It is very possible to finish in a day, I would add some glue to the movable joints once you have settled on a pose as they can fall out.

Amazing the degree of engineering in these kits as you said. To fully appreciate that you have to build one.
