Juggernaut Charging
This is a 1/6 kit purchased from Amok Time Toys at Wonderfest. It’s not the Bowen version although the two look extremely similar in terms of their postures. Both kits are skillfully sculpted. Bowen’s version is easy in the sense that it’s readily displayable while Amok Time’s version isn’t. It takes a huge amount of effort to make it ‘stand.’ First of all, it’s big and heavy and is in an intrinsically off-balanced posture. To make it displayable, I need a base not only big enough but also with a support at the knee. Otherwise, the kit wouldn’t display right. The base I use now is actually a scaled up version of part of another base for Classic Plastic’s Terminator kit by Randy Bowen. I wanted the display set to look right for this character in a charging posture. The base looks right for that. However, I needed to upsize it. Therefore, I asked a skillful craftsman to upsize the base with a pantograph machine. The piece on the base itself serves just perfect as a support at the knee for the entire body. This kind of kit is tricky, if not difficult, to display right. My painter did a fantastic job in showing all details this kit has to offer.
