starting anyther new/old build ..    going back to the 80s anime armed trooper with this 1/24 Scoopdog Turbo Custom by Takara(later got bought out by wave).  an old school classic. 

This kit was purchased about 15years ago, it's one of the re-print with the resin parts,  photo etching detail parts, and extra hand/fists .    I'm a sucker for that bulky dumbass look ..

Test fitting, very different flavour when comparing to the newer Bandai release.

Shrinkages that requires some filling and sanding ..      I actually enjoy going back to old school kits where most parts are done in 2 pieces.  Simple gluing, filling and sanding ..    got spoiled by Bandai too much in the past 20+ years ..

more filling and sanding ...   this used to be the standard procedures in the old days ..
