30MM ARMORED CORE Ⅵ FIRES OF RUBICON BALAM INDUSTRIES BD-011 MELANDER

The joints on the Melander are tighter than I expected for a 30MM kit, so it holds a pose with the rifle raised without sagging. Build took me about two evenings and the armor panels click together with almost no seam lines.

The articulation on the joints is fantastic for posing mid-boost shots, and the snap-fit holds together way sturdier than I feared. Spent a whole evening panel-lining the armor and it really makes the BALAM design pop on the shelf.

The snap-fit assembly on this MELANDER went together way smoother than most 30MM kits I've built, and the Balam Industries decals really pop once you panel-line the armor. I've already posed it mid-boost on the stand twice tonight—the proportions look spot-on for a Rubicon AC.
