Finally finished painting and weathering my Yamato scopedog. After seeing Tim Brisko's one with the red shoulder I wanted to do the same. I chose a dark dull red for mine to make it realistic - you don't want a big bright clown nose on your shoulder to draw attention!

Pulling the toy apart is really simple, except for the legs which have springs and quite a few screws. Airbrushing it took no time at all; the dry brushing took me a week. Well, I'd get bored and give up after an hour or two a night.

I probably weathered it a bit much, but when you start it's hard to stop! :D

thanks! I've customised 2 1/60's and 3 1/55's and even a Toynami Master Piece, but not a 1/48.. I can't afford to buy a spare one to custom! :(

My next project (been meaning to do this for a year now) is to customise a Yamato 11b into a 11c paint scheme. I got some line art from Graham and will pick one of 'em.

Not sure if you know cause i don't see it in the forums, but Yamato's releasing some weapon packs for the Scopedog. Would look good with the custom. ;)

one day... one day! Maybe 2007. :lol:

But by then the 11b might be too rare to customise!

Nice job, it looks great. Are you planning on getting the Melquiya 'dog? I have mine preordered along with the accesory packs. Now I just need to find a place to display them. I didn't realize just how big the scopedog was until I got mine.

Nah, one 'dog is enough for me. Like you say, they are pretty big, so no room for 2! If it's cheaper for you I saw that hlj.com have the Melquiyas on sale at the moment.

here's what it looked like in pieces:
