This lot is for a stunning, ultra-rare, out-of-production, mecha cast resin kit sculpted by Horibayashi Tadashi, with manufacture supported by Wonder Showcase in 2002.  The kit has been started  I have copied a link to the relevant page of the Wonder Showcase website below:

This is a very special kit that will assemble into a scale model of outstanding quality.  In addition to the many beautiful cast resin pieces, the kit includes a comprehensive decal sheet, poly-cap joints and brass tube to enable a complex range of joint articulations. Two printed photographs of the finished mecha are also included.  Please note that additional metal dowel, available from any good modelling shop, will be required to finish the model and is not included with the kit.

The kit demands advanced modelling skills to complete.  The instructions are in Japanese only, but are well drawn and are simple enough to interpret.  

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS KIT HAS BEEN STARTED.  I HAVE ASSEMBLED ONE OF THE MECHA'S LEGS, DRILLING HOLES AND DOWELING THE JOINTS.  THE PHOTOS SHOW THE ASSEMBLED LEG AND DEMONSTRATE THE ARTICULATION OF THE ELEMENT.  HOWEVER, THE DOWELS HAVE NOT BEEN CEMENTED AND THE HOLES HAVE NOT BEEN FILLED.  PLEASE ONLY BID OR BUY IF YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE BUYING A KIT THAT HAS BEEN STARTED!

Please refer carefully to the photographs.  The photographs describe all items/parts included in the sale and their condition.  I have done my best to describe accurately, honestly and fairly the content and condition of the items to the best of my ability.
