Uchikoma from "Ghost in the Shell" (pics)

Yes, the Tachikoma kit came out first, then the Uchikoma. I built the Tachikoma kit and put it on a lighted mech base. The seams were a bear, but it was a fun kit to build.

I actually bought the little guy in Tokyo while in a business trip, along with some MaK and Gundam models...I had to leave behind a pair of shoes to make room in my suitcase for the models I bought

Shoes are cheap, avialalbe anywhere.

WAVE kits....get em while you can!!!!!!!!!

Wow!  Nicely done, and what a great subject!  I love Ghost in the Shell, in all of its permutations, and the robots are great little characters in their own right.

I've seen the Tachikomas as die-cast items, I think they were, each with a different character figure from the series, but I've never seen this kit.  Really great, and well done!

Regards,

Brad

Very nice. I've got the Tachi, and the seams were a bear to remove. You did an excellent job, and the subtle weathering is very good too.

Thanks for sharing it.
