Bandai 1/35 MG Ingram Unit 1 (2001 Kit) - Built back in 2014! !

Hi everyone
I’d love to share my **Bandai 1/35 MG Ingram Unit 1**, which I completed back in 2014 ( 2001 kit).

By today's standards, the inner frame design is fairly simple and lacks the high-tech mechanical complexity of modern MG kits.
However, when it comes to the overall proportions, I still think this specific 2001 version captures the exact look and feel of the mecha we saw in the classic TV anime better than any other.

For the paint job, I only went with some light weathering. After all, Noa takes good care of Alphonse—I definitely didn't want my Unit 1 looking as utterly wrecked and battered as Ota’s Unit 2!

Hope you guys like this throwback build!

Help finding a Patlabor figure

Hello guys! This was purchased more than 30 years ago, and as you can see the antennas were lost. The box and the black pistol it came it were also lost. I was trying to find a new one to buy, but don't know what the actual model is. The closest one was a hearty robin brand but it's not quite the same https://www.hobbyboom.com.hk/products/mobilepolice-patlabor-type98-av98-ingram-figure-heartyrobin-plex-hobbyboom

Anyone has any idea what this model is, and how much it would cost? I imagine mine is not worth much given the conditions its in
