It's been a month since the last update.

Any info will be appreciated.

Tonbo coming. It is a 38-piece model. I'm putting a photo assembly guide together after I wash my mouth out with soap, y'all  :D

Kidding aside, it's beautiful and matches the art precisely.

Shame on you ;)

Wingspan is about 4 inches, It does look like you could model it lifitng a Daishi into the sky.

Would it be feasible to attach a mech via magnets?

So the image itself isn't for the public yet?

I'm not sure if I can... I think it was wackrabbit who was assembling the 36 or 38 pieces...

Here is a picture of what I have so far. If you're patient I will have the assembly discussion posted within a few days.

I want one.   I'm deathly afraid of how much of a pain it will be to build, but I want one.

The fun part will be scratchbuilding a base for it. This is something that has to fly on the tabletop.  O0
So, for me, an extra two pieces.

Maybe use one of the large Oval shaped bases Games Workshop now makes for its 28mm monster and flying vehicle miniatures? It even comes with a large plastic stand you could probably drill a magnet into and the size would keep it from being to topplable.
