The kit is very good and detailed. The articulating joints are a bit crude but they were aiming for extreme mobility and poseablity.  I tried something to hide them but found it not to be to my own standards so I left it alone.  I thought to do some Photoshop magic to the pics....maybe I will after all!

Im currently working on a Boba Fett from bandai too.

That's a great appearance with the weathering, and dirt! The only thing that keeps this from being perfect is the horrible joint in between the arm, and shoulder - leg, and knee. That's not your fault, they should've have made a provision for this so that it would look right without a lot of work. Otherwise very cool! Thank you for sharing this.

Maybe a picture of a squirrel playing a harmonica will make you feel better?

I have oine of the old original kits.  It didn't have a weapon provided, they molded it into its holster.  I'll come up woth something.

Yes the bike itself screams for weathering. I may buid another one and create some other scene. Thanks for looking Gamera.

Super cool, I love the dinged-up detail on the bike.

I like it.  It makes me want to redo my trooper and dust off the bike.  Where did you get the weapon the figure is holding?
