Welcome to iModeler, Maciej!

This Gladiator is very well done. Doing flying wires in 1/72nd scale is outstanding.

Bravo!

A real nice build! I agree, rigging in this scale is an amazing accomplishment.

I'm with Craig and Jeff and Robert. Making a Matchbox kit look this good is an accomplishment, but in 1/72 and with those evil wires...wow!

Looks great, especially with taking the time to rig it so well. Well done!
