That’s the latest robot model I’ve built; this time another from Bandai’s Valvrave series (Valvrave VI to be precise). I know nothing of the manga or anime, only that these kits were cheap (~$20) and look distinctive.
Similar to the other one I made a while back, this is heavy in the sticker and transparent plastic department, but was quick and easy to assemble and looks pretty snappy assembled!
My next project was this LED Christmas tree kit, assembled with a bit of solder and gumption from the pieces shown at left. It rests on a 9V trunk, and flashes prettily when pushed down on. (SFL would recognize this as a slightly larger ‘blinky thing.)
It was extremely simple to assemble – especially after the nixie clock from earlier this year. A fun little project for my desk at work!
Lastly one of the new metal miniature Star Wars kits, this time the ‘Special Forces Tie Fighter’ from The Force Awakens. I love the new Tie design and was looking forward to making this kit.
But the difficulty was as high – higher even! – than any of the other kits of this type and I hated putting it together! Before you consider buying this one yourself, make sure you have high precision tools, superb lighting, invulnerable skin and the patience of a saint. Even then you’ll make unfixable mistakes like I did….
But it looks pretty great doesn’t it?
