MG RB-79 Mobile Pod Ball Ver. Ka

Ball! :blobcataww:

No decals yet, and I'm considering painting the internal cage structure gunmetal (although I don't plan to display its inner frame). The 3(!) pilot figures that came with it have to be painted, too. Long term, it'll probably live on my desk at home or at work.

(Quick detour; I'll get started on Epyon next)

I bought one of these and then got a shitty job that needs 120% of my time and never even opened it

This looks like the younger brother of the tmnt technodrome.

Wow you aren't wrong. That thing is kind of creepy. I believe the RB-79 Ball here is inspired by deep sea exploration crafts, and looking at the TMNT stills they may share that inspiration.

@gundam I took another picture to demonstrate the secondary manipulators and thought it looked nice enough to post. Grass is not to scale :blobcatupsidedown:

The MG RB-79 Ball on a grassy field. The bottom manipulators on each arm have been extended. It is facing far left of the viewer.
