The core of the kit is a bunch of 3d printed parts. The material is very strong and flexible, resembles ABS plastic.

After removing supports by just tering them off. I did a dry fit of parts. The gunpls joints with rubber spheres are strong and have a good grip to support the pose.

Primer applied all fits very well. I like that bruiser. Actually Awesome is my favorite IS mech, so I just couldn't pass.

Oh, this looks amazing!
ABS like resin? Maybe I should try it as well at some point. So far I broke all joints of 3d printed models with the eco resin. It's too brittle.
Really cool to see it's possible to have a movable 3d printed Battlemech.
