#demi-barding

The Chuchuber! The Demi-Barding may have been done dirty in the show, but it's still a fantastic grunt design and a great kit. It was on a bit of a whim and I started to build it late, so I used stickers instead of trying to do the tiny details with Gundam Markers, but I think it came out pretty good. I don't really have space to display it with the Baori Pack separately, but I love the little guy and I hope I can give it a proper display someday.

Now, for better or worse, this is basically just the HG Demi-Trainer with a new trim and a cool new backpack. The kit is 3 and a quarter runners, and 1 and a quarter of those are from the Trainer. With one of the Barding runners being 90% the backpack and gun, most of the kit is the Trainer assembly with newer Barding parts attached over the Trainer's arms, chest, waist and legs. Now I like the Demi-Trainer so that's not a bad thing to me, but it does come with some of the Trainer's issues, like the simple elbow joint.
