Robotics Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Hello fellow modelling friends!! This project has been finished for some time now and today I have decided to post it here on the forum. The build is a resin Mersa Nightingale obtained from E2046 last year. This is my first resin kit ever and I sure as hell picked a real challenge. This kit consists of 100+ pieces, no instructions and no joints. Al this I had to figure out myself and luckily I found some pictures on the internet which helped a lot. The thrusters which came with the kit were not all usable because it was a mission impossible to sand each and every little step of every thruster, and there were about 40!! I found the joints on ebay and decided to replace most of the thrusters with metal ones. I found someone on ebay which helped me out. I gave him all the required dimensions and he came back with all the right replacements. All I had to do is spray the internals gold. All in all this took me three months to build,. A lot of thinking went into it and also sweat, blood and tears and coming up with the right colours proved to be challenging. The beast should be red according to the cartoon but I like out of the box so came up with all metallic colours. Enough said, here are the pictures; Hope y'all like it! :-) Have fun!!

Pete in Lincs Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I've never seen this one before! A lovely detailed piece of work though. Does the original transform into an aircraft? Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robotics Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 Hey Pete, This is a robot from the Gundam universe. It is a spinoff of the MSN-04 Sazabi and it does not transform. Jeroen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breaker Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Brilliant job! I don't know the source material but it's come out lovely. Having the turned metal pieces is a nice touch as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
