Here’s what I’m going to build as my entry: the 1/100 Skallgunner from SPT Layzner. This is a early Bandai snap-fit kit with no polycaps, which will be build straight out of the box with some minor modifications and hand painted.

I must say some of the other entries look quite intimidating, so perhaps my final entry will be something else 🙂

  Is the whole kit just two runners?

    wouldn’t be surprised if it was only 2 runners.
    
    So what modification are planned for the kit?

      It’s indeed only two runners, and the completed thing is no more than 10 cm tall (too small to add polycaps). Furthermore, this is one of those snap-fit kits with parts that align badly, so mod #1 is removing the pegs where needed. Some parts are hollow on one side; those will be filled. The cockpit, tiny as it may be, needs to be fleshed out a bit. The backpack will need some reconstruction to look good.
      
      My other options for the final entry are two kits I still want to build before the end of the year : Hasegawa Apharmd T Type F with some additional weapons or the large-scale (and very toy-like) Ideon kit from Aoshima with some serious mods. But I figured I’d start with something simple. 🙂
