Horizon ED-209 and 1st version of the Hot Toys ED-209, both very heavily modified.
The Horizon one is solid resin inside, so its very strong and heavy. Its fitted together using PVC tubes, so it can be stripped down into parts.
The Hot Toys one has no rubber parts anymore. Everything that was made out of rubber like the joints and the dome were cast in resin. It took the best part of three years to get this one finished and it cost a fortune in Tamiya spray paints. Like the Horizon model, this one can be stripped down too and a lot of the parts are attached using magnets.
I like to be able to take models apart easily, as i find it useful when cleaning them or incase any repairs ever needed doing. It also helps when, like always, they get packed away in storage.
