What's this? Some sort of Decepticon?
Interested in what you'll make of it. 👍

Norin Rad
Thank you for your interest. No it is not a decepticon but a realization of Nik JARDIN who apparently inspired by the SF3D universe. Unfortunately, there is a lot of deburring work, but I hope to be able to make something interesting.

Hey Norin, you have some serious work cleaning the parts up there. This is going to be interesting to watch you build. Consider me a very interested spectator!

Armored Crab - The Kit - Sell out!

There were 40 now there are 10! I had to stop there just to go to Japan.
Hopefully we can stir up enough interest for another run of kits.

Armored Crab by Nik Jardine

Unveiled his Armed Crab late 2007. I have arranged to have it in my kit and will be selling these at WF 08/2008.

This kit really rocks. It is a great size and looks so damn cool in the flesh. Nik has created a nice little design. Even my wife likes it and is not a fan of these 'toys'. The kits will be cheap too and good bang for buck. Will have release info very soon.

If someone wants to add the kit to the base I thank him in advance and he can of course use my photos.

Thank you
