Hi guys
A little diorama around the Bandai Missile Phalanx kit.
I slightly "changed" the scale, from the original 1/100 to the more traditional 1/87 (HO), so I could use some Preiser figures.
I am also changing some parts of the original kit, as you can easily see :)
To be continued...
Thanks for watching!

A favorite, and one the first fighting suits I ever built back around 1984 or so. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it.

Thanks for the interest!
And a few more advances towards the final victory :)
I have altered the head and the left "arm" and dis some more personal fine-tuning.
Fortunately the boring part is mostly over! :)

Can't say giant robots are my "thing" but this is very well done, Antonio!
The figures add a sense of scale often missing with these types of builds & you managed to use muted colours instead of the excessively bright tones I've come to expect from this genre.
