Unfortuneatly it starts at 145 AM Eastern, but it's advertised as 2 hours and 15 minutes long!

Here's my Masudaya Maria I've had for years:

It was my first import kit, my first vinyl kit, and I think the first kit in my whole life I paid more than twenty dollars for.

Well, that's one advantage of living on the Left Coast.
This is the ultimate restoration of Metropolis, probably as close as we'll ever get to the film as Fritz Lang made it. Highly recommended.

That is one cool looking classic robot — obviously an ancestor of C3PO. What did you use for the metallic gold-ish finish?

It was a bronze metallic paint I found at Lowes over white primer, I actually bought and built it before the internet, since then I've seen pictures of the real Maria where she was silver colored. But I still like the bronze.
