scans of original instructions

I got this model kit several years ago when looking for a hobby I could try after I had to put on hold many of my hobbies and pursuits while in treatment for a physical problem. It was a kit originally released during my childhood and, as such, I was quite excited to get it.

I put together the gerwalk or, as Revell called it, the Guardian, first. I didn’t have proper tools and picked up paint from the dollar store. Nevertheless, it was a ton of fun and I had a blast with the process.

Here is the gerwalk hanging out on the windowsill.
