So those Clanners hiding really everywhere...
The chicken walker section of the Madcat is done by the way. Finished with semi gloss clear coating. And as you can see I stay with the U.N.Spacy markings like on my smaller one.
Evolution by merging two old designs . As I just remember now from old Mechwarrior 2 Game: Madcat is the name the Inner Sphere Forces gave to that Mech, the Clanners call it Timberwolf.
To get back to topic: the camouflage painting is done, just started assembly of the legs and then heading for applying the decals.
Wow, the gun looks awesome. I modeled a 20 mm Oerlikon gun with 2 or 3 lathed parts some years ago, but I'll never get this depth in detail. Great work, can't wait to see the finished ship!
Now you're mention this, I see some similarities, too. Whereas the first Battletech Mech's were almost exact copies of Macross Battroids, at least the later ones like the Mad Cat seem to be mix-ups to not violate copyright .
I totally forgot about this kit and when cleaning up my cellar lately it fell on my foot again:
Resin-Kit Battletech Mad Cat from Armorcast
As it is 1/60 scale, it will look great aside the DX valks.
I bought this kit around the year 2000 and started working on the resin parts. Now I can go straight for painting. I have decided to put on the same camouflage paint scheme as on my 1/100 scale Mad Cat from Ral Partha I painted right before I bought this kit. Note the U.N. Spacy signs I put on in a time I had no relation to Macross/Robotech any more.
But I’m still undecided about which decals I’ll put on. I have some left from the Yamato VE/VT-1 (water slide), so I could put the Battlemech also in U.N. Spacy service like its smaller version.
Despite the delivery for the VF-31C was really fast, some time ago I had one taking 2 weeks to make it through customs. I know it‘s hard, but sometimes you have to be patient
