Brian.. Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I've had the Bandai Rivet Boy on my to do list for a while. I finally got the chance to build a version. The original is a fast little wind up that scoots across the floor throwing out a shower of sparks. Mine's a slower old fellow with a battery motor and a simple light effect. The paddle foot design made a pleasant change. I took my eye off the scale and it ended up rather larger than I intended and printing took ages. This kit doesn't seem to feature in that book of classic Japanese robots - a pity, because it's superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
