Description

I slowly started getting back into model building, havent done it since I was a kid. back when Gundam Wing started airing on Toonami classic, & the earliest merch consisted of snap build models.

although I'm not too deep into Gundam lore, my main exposure being from Wing, G, 8th M.S. Team, War in the Pocket, & very vague memories of the original Gundam. I do love the mech designs, especially the designs of the enemy mobile suites which have more freedom in their designs than the Gundams do.

I'm not the biggest fan of Haro, there kind of lame for being a robo-pet. more like a over complicated clock-radio that follows you. hell the Mini-Geckos from Metal Gear were more endearing.(granted Haro may have been an inspiration)

that being said I do think the Mobile Haro body gives it some well needed charm. I love the clunky design, perfect for what I have in mind for merging this model with a Sherman Tank Model.

the over all build is pretty simple, parts come in 4 colors but I plan to repaint it anyway. the inner parts with the eyes weren't colored or came with any stickers, so I went over them with a red paint Sharpie pen.(those kind of pens you shake)

the ball is a separate build, that inserts into the body suite. so technically you can insert other Haro models into the suite.

I'll post more pics as the build goes along.
