GODZILLA from Polar Lights
-- by CultTVman

This is a big model, with over 70 parts.   When built, this monster kit [and I do mean MONSTER] stands 16 inches tall.   The sculpt accurately captures the look of the original King Of Monsters.  The kit goes together quickly and the parts fit together well.   Like all styrene figures, this kit may eventually fall apart from handling.  The two areas of weakness I worry about are where the tail attaches to the body, and the spines along the back may get knocked off.

You're still going to need to do some work.  Because of the way this kit was molded, the detail in the area of the seams goes very soft.  I created a number of "texture stamps" by impressing bits of putty into the existing detail.   When hard, I generously applied putty over the seams and used the "stamps" to recreate the texture. I used two-part epoxy putty from Aves. You'll need a lot!

The rail cars are not well shaped and the proportions are weird.   I ditched them and went over to my local train shop.   For replacements, HO scale is far large for this kit at 6 or more inches long.   Even N gauge is too big if you are looking for passenger cars.  All the modern looking N gauge passenger cars were extremely long.  The best-sized train cars I found were Z .
