Hunter Rose Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 New guy alert! I've started a build in the Sci Fi Group Build but thought I would share one of my builds from last year with you guys. Story behind this kit is I bought a recast of this model off ebay about 6-7 years ago, this was way before I knew about recasts and how evil they are! It was horrendous quality and thats when I started researching the original kit and looking into getting one. I got lucky and managed to pick this kit up for a reasonable amount of money a few years back, it was on the shelf for a year before I finally got around to doing it, and it was a really fun build. I know the kit is based on the War Robot in the Stallone Judge Dredd movie, but I wanted to make it more like the comic book ABC Warrior Hammerstein, whom the design was blatantly based on. Only main difference between movie and comic is Hammerstein is so called because he has a hammer hand, so I decided to mod one for him & add some extra cabling, and scratch built the base which I stenciled on the ABC Warriors comic book title artwork. Its a big model at just over 13" tall, and I'm super happy with the results, enough talk here's the pics.

Will Vale Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I'd like to build mine (eventually) but I look at yours and can't think of anything I'd add to the presentation. I'll leave him in the box until inspiration strikes I think. Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blastvader Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Great job Hunter. I watched this build unfold on fitchtenfoo's fora I think but it's great to see it again. I spotted one of these kits going cheap on the bay this week and am now kicking myself for not buying it for the second time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Rose Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 Thanks Blastvader! Wow I'm just impressed you saw one, there quite hard to come by these days although there are a ton of white pvc recasts out there (avoid, crazy poor quality!)
