Crazy to think that phones do all this and so much more. So wanted one of these as a kid. I think we even made wood ones and painted them as best we could. Just had to guess the dimensions as no internet back then.
It really is crazy how something that seemed so futuristic back in its day has been so far surpassed in a few decades. Thanks for sharing your memories.
Really nice and thorough. I wanted this kit, but was nervous as I have zero level modelling skills. I got one on ebay though already built, painted and modded where they light up. It's great though to have a solid reference to show how it all came together, especially if I want to add more to them like sound.
Hi Mando, As you might have notice I do talk about the colour a bit at the 21 : 44 mark ua-cam.com/video/U-tj-BbK8Rs/v-deo.html but noticed I didn't mention the code for yellow! So here is the complete Tamiya acrylic summary over the Badger primer (Badger Stynylrez SNR-201 White Primer): Body Grey: XF-20 Flat Med Grey 2ml XF-2 Flat White 2ml XF-3 Flat Yellow 2 drops (1/10 ml) Dark Grey: XF-53 Neutral Grey 4ml XF-1 Flat Black 1ml XF-8 Flat Blue 1ml All the best.

@@ArcticModeler Just pleased we didn't all end up in androgynous stretch jumpsuits.
🤣
