So, here's the story, I
got myself a Real Grade Tallgeese. I kinda love the Tallgeese. It was
a joy to put together, and I decided to get a flight base for it, as
a bird's gotta fly. The stand arrived several weeks later, only for
me to discover that the Tallgeese had somehow suffered a catastrophic
breakage on a key piece of the spine, splitting it in two. I don't
know how this happened, but I'm pretty sure that it should not
have happened, given how central it was to the kit. As you might
imagine, this was somewhat of a kick to the nuts. However, this does
mean I have a base going spare, so I used it for my Portanova review,
and then started prating about. So here's a few shots of me trying to
use it.
I'm not going to talk
too deeply about the the stand, its an entirely functional device,
with a variety of adapters for older/quirkier kits. Its mainly
intended for a single robot at a time, although the instructions do
highlight a method to handle two at once.
A quick word on the
Alto, which has benefited from the “Arm Unit Rifle & Large Claw
Weapon Set”, which offers a few arm/hand replacements. With the
rifle, you can plug the main barrel into a segment with a side-handle
and stand, giving something of a "squad support weapon"
feel. I felt it worked for a Sniper Alto, although the fit of parts
is a little loose. Do however be mindful of the claw, as I reversed
a part by mistake, and things went a bit wrong. Before you ask: no,
this isn't what happened to the Tallgeese. Not a part you can
reverse, yes? ;)
