I am pleased you brought that up, SWMBO has already stated that it stays in my room! The dog suggested putting it in the garden as a new 'P' pole for him????Where on earth are you going to display this, its some size, looks bigger than the bridge layer you built Mike.
Well at least its allowed to stay in the house !I am pleased you brought that up, SWMBO has already stated that it stays in my room! The dog suggested putting it in the garden as a new 'P' pole for him????

Ignore the ghost in the background, he just appears at meal times.....
I also (nearly) built the Dragon model Jakko, I think 'inferior' and 'not a great kit ...' are superlatives I wouldn't apply that kit! The dustbin became it's final resting place and I thought it to be richly deserved!I built that one about 20 or 25 years ago, I guess. It was good for its day, especially because … well, it’s a real eye-catcher. But I remember it not being a great kit to build. I haven’t seen anything of the Trumpeter version other than what’s in your pictures, but I’m going to guess it’ll be a better kit, though probably about the same difficulty to build if it’s of Trumpeter’s usual quality.

I thought it was fairly typical of 1990s Dragon kits: interesting subject matter that nobody else covered, but not overly well engineered and with lots of detail and even major shapes subtly (or not so subtly ) wrong. Mine is technically still awaiting half its coat of paint, because I wanted to spray camouflage on it but my airbrush and paint refused to cooperate at the time; maybe I should just finish it one of these days.I also (nearly) built the Dragon model Jakko, I think 'inferior' and 'not a great kit ...' are superlatives I wouldn't apply that kit!

Same reason as a three day old takeaway remnant fails the sniff-test and is consigned to the Council Hades!Why on earth would you throw a model into the trash?
? Because the model is a breeding ground for botulinum?Same reason as a three day old takeaway remnant fails the sniff-test and is consigned to the Council Hades!
Or some other anti-social disease such as 'Ican'tbearsedism' Tim ...!? Because the model is a breeding ground for botulinum?
It's all in the soil, don't you know, that and plenty of cow.....Well at least its allowed to stay in the house !
That bridge layer is even bigger than I remember.
I would try that Jim, but she said there was to be no floor - wonder why.....Hi Mike
Coming together nicely.

Neither did I, the lid came off and went back on a few times.....Mike
Hats off to you for attempting such a beast. I wouldn't even know where to start......
