Greetings @everyone It's that time of the year again, when I announce a new Moscato Hobby Original Project, and this one is a whopper: a 1/48 Destroyed Phat Lynx (Destroid Phalanx). This ginormous kit would be based on a modified Thomas Hawk lower chassis, with all the features listed in the image shown. In order for this project to go ahead, I need a minimum of 20 orders, non-negotiable. Please read the following carefully. If you are interested in getting this model, send me a PRIVATE message. Posting in the comments will NOT be construed as interest. Kit price for the first twenty: $500 Canadian dollars (shipping not included) Kit price > 20: $525 Canadian dollars The standard shipping price for the US and Canada is shown in the image, while international shipping will be calculated based on destination and order size. If I gather the requisite interest for the project, know that I will request a $350 CAD deposit, with the balance due upon completion to make things more manageable You have until March 31st to pledge yourself to the realization of this project. If I fail to get the requisite interest by that date, I will simply move to another project. What say you?

Old school kit - my third in the 1/100 line, and unlike the other two, I started laying down paint while they were still on the sprues. I'm quite surprised by how well this one came out - I guess the learning curve on more advanced modelling techniques is starting to pay off. The only drawbacks to this kit are the limited range of movement on the legs, and that you have to choose if the missile hatches are open or closed when you start gluing things. I started painting this in the middle of the summer heat and humidity, and as expected, the paint didn't go down smooth. However, it ended up with a neat effect that emulated the look of those old WWII tanks (I'd like to say that that was my intention all along). The pictures don't capture the neat texture that I ended up with. The missiles are the part that I'm most satisfied - as that was when the acrylic thinner/black watercolour mixture that I'm using to get panel lines started behaving for me, and I was able to hide the accidental drops of red paint on the black interior.
