Faust Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) I proudly admit that I am a child of the ‘80s, and that growing up my favourite things were giant robots. It didn’t matter to me if they were Transformers, GoBots or piloted mecha from cool shows like Robotech or Voltron. Big robots = awesome. That’s true math. Since growing up kinda sucks, I think I decided not to bother, and I still love robots today! However, there’s something about ‘80s robots and ‘80s mech anime that just grab me and won’t let go. The art style, the character designs and the slightly looser constraints on what was allowed in terms of mech design really combine to make an irresistible product. That’s why I was so excited to not only get to watch Metal Armour Dragonar (albeit with questionable subs), but to get my hands on pretty much every 1/144 kit from the series! The first one I built was the Schwalg, an enemy flying mech known, appropriately, as a Flug Armor. Check it out, and see why these simple but awesome kits are some of my prized possessions! https://adamrehorn.wordpress.com/model-kits/mecha-robots/bandai-1-144-flug-armor-ffa-02-schwalg/ Edited January 19, 2018 by Faust Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PFlint Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I agree with your mathematical assessment ! although that is not a Mech I am familiar with , it still looks cool Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Faust Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share Posted January 19, 2018 Isn't math great? :) I figured not too many people would know the Schwalg. It's a shame, it was a fun kit; a bit of work, but nothing that wasn't worthwhile! Thanks for the compliment! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
