Title: Bandai R4-I9 1/12
Post by: MrBMB on April 03, 2019, 05:00:26 AM

Bandai R4-I9 1/12
I'm calling him R4-NOGO as he is the Droid that always finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time, hence all the spare parts added to him.
Still a WIP got gadgets, stickers and weathering to go, also thinking about adding more damage and wires. I have only glued the head and main two body halves to reduce seam lines.

Thanks mate
Hopefully my weathering doesn't end up cracking the kit  ::)

I agree this looks so much better than the stock model. Love the dome. Off to share.

Oh yeah, great dome. I keep thinking what you would find in the ole Sandcrawler with this look. Off to share.

Calling R4-NOGO done!!!
Very simply kit to put together, would be great for kids just starting out. Putting a new coat of paint on these Bandai kits really brings them to life

Too fun. The detail (especially the exposed wiring) is really good and the weathering is outstanding.
