    Appreciate the feedback, gentlemen. Yeah, I've come to the same conclusion. Now, let's see how closely I can match it... 🤔

    Since the Star Spangled-Man was thoughtful enough to cast the beam emitters in clear resin, I've decided to mount red LEDs in there. See, that's precisely why I take the time to acquire the best reference material, do the research, and make my own color guides to work from. Secondary sources, fan art, and even our own memories are notoriously unreliable. 😒

    Not dumped, just repurposed... ...twice, even. 🙄

    A massive offensive launched from the dark side of the moon manages to inflict devastating losses to the Invid, thanks to the effectiveness of the "Dark Legioss." With only the most rudimentary understanding of human technology, the Invid Regis simply counterattacks with Garmo painted in the same "midnight blue" paint scheme... ...and the human resistance is swiftly and completely wiped out as a result. 😜 The Garmo is actually a tricky color scheme to pin down... Not only are the details painted inconsistently, but the base turquoise itself varies slightly from episode to episode. Just to be thorough, I even consulted the inferior Robotech Blu-rays: As a result, I think this is the ideal color scheme. Any objections?

    And then, there were two.

    Is that Baylan Skoll? It looks a lot more like Ray Stevenson than Christopher Lee... 🤨

    The Eye of Sorji. The aperature's a little thinner on this one. I wanted to give her a more inquisitive stare, rather than the threatening glare of her brother's eye. "Intergenerational scaling of mecha," eh? Sorji will be ready by Halloween; the Garmo will follow in November.

    I see it, but I don't believe it.

    Looks like a Monstrously large set of arms... 😲

    Actually, he was 55. 😉

    As opposed to episode four, "Seven Samurai and an AT-ST?" 🙄 That desiccated corpse of a storyline stunk up my living room so badly I had to have the house fumigated.

    One down, one to Gosu. 😉 Ready for the pic dump? 😅 Articulation is somewhat limited, but I wanted a little playability: ...and while he can assume a flight pose, I haven't come up with a stand to support him. I did install LEDs in the flight pack, however. And, since scale is important: Our beloved Sentinels are undersized, of course, but Moscato's 1:48 kits scale great with Evolution Toys.

    I don't think "gay shipping" is appropriate for this forum. 😅

    Cultural impact is impossible to analyze objectively, of course, but the Internet can provide some useful statistics; Google search results, for example. A search for "Robotech" results in about 8.8 million hits, roughly half of the number of results for "Macross." A search for "ThunderCats" results in about 15.3 million hits, slightly less than for "Macross." A search for "Ulysses 31" results in about 16.8 million hits, slightly more than for "Macross." A search for "Exosquad" results in about 416,000 hits. A search for "Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors" results in less than 120,000 hits (but still more than "Thunderbirds 2086"). ☺️ These are all "statistically insignificant," of course, next to something like Ghostbusters (74 million hits), TMNT (107 million hits), or Transformers (a whopping 700 million hits)! It is, as Seto says, a fundamental difference in scale.

    And yet Temuera Morrison, bald and fat in his sixties, was cast to portray Boba Fett at 41... 🤕
  16. tekering
    That's a technique I picked up making little Moderoid Obsolete exoframes. Drill 1mm holes, and fill them in with little drops of super-glossy topcoat. ☺️ I fully intend to kitbash one...

    Having finally found the motivation to complete my Ghosu, painting is almost finished...

    Kids in my elementary school were only familiar with the franchise because of the Matchbox toy commercials. 🤕 Liking Robotech was never cool. 😒

    There is hope for Ahsoka yet! ☺️

    No, this is all you need to watch:

    I'm afraid her brother would object to that. 😬 I wish I'd bought a third myself... 😐 This, yeah. ☝️

    Ten years since EXO announced his "Mars Base Marauders," I finally have a painted set to display. I was pleased to discover how consistent 1:48 Mospeada figures scale, regardless of manufacturer. ☺️ Next up: Invid royalty!

    I've never built a Hasegawa Battroid. Are they really so poorly articulated? 🤨
  24. tekering
    Wow, thanks for all the encouragement! Given the positive response, I'll share an additional pic I didn't post earlier: The "Hemorroids" were usually seen aboard the Zor ships, and much less frequently on Biovers, whereas Bug Face was ONLY seen fighting on Biovers... ...so Bug Face gets the sled. ☺️

    Moscato Hobby models are rare, expensive, and valuable kits, and should not be treated like toys. However, boys will be boys... ...and boys play with toys. ☺️ At least, before they're painted. 😅 Speaking of which... Despite wild variations in animation quality, the anime coloring is a consistent two-tone brown: ...and much of the merchandising reflects this color scheme. However, dark green variants are also common. So, brown or green, dirty or clean, your cannons will be canon. There are also two different uniform colors depicted: ...just in case you were wondering. 😉 And, for those who may be wondering, here's how Tommy Boy scales with 1:60th, 1:100th, or 1:144th Tomahawks. 🤓
