cowie165 Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Please tell me that Marine is a 1/16 kit!!! The face is painted perfectly. What an amazing piece. I assume it's OOP?
CAIN MKII Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Thanks mates. This beautyfull statue was produced by Sideshow for Blizzard as a promotion item for the release of starcraft 2. Production run: like 1250 I think. Scale is more 1/4 than 1/6 and it comes prepainted so I added all the details missing. A gorgeous piece.
Mechleader Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 Fine Molds 1/48 Snowspeeder and Turrent. Models are finished. Now have to work on the base.
ron5864 Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 This is probably what a "Robotech" Alpha would look like if it was a real continuation of the Macross series. hehe This is an Aoshima 1/48 Legioss AFC-01Z (Red Alpha) model kit repainted with cannon fodder tan color and decaled with UN Spacy markings. The Legioss/Alpha is glued to fighter mode since it is difficult to tranform due to the poor kit quality. Plus the paint will rub off if I did try to trandform it. It was a quick build too, so I did not bother to fill in some gaps between parts. I'm not sure if it is the same size as the Toynami 1/55 Robotech Alphas, but it is a lot smaller than the 1/48 VF-1A. It would be nice if the 1/55 Beta/Tread fighter can attached to it. Hmmm, maybe I should make a Macross Frontier SMS version...

I remember building a Gobot Cy Kill model my Monogram as a Skull Leader Cyclone ridden by Max Sterling... that's got to be the most confused model ever... It looked cool though, a blow superior with a big black skull symbol on the chest. At least I remember it as cool... probably looked like crap.

I have a few of the old IMAI Alpha's as well, they do heavily favor robot mode over the other modes. There's a really cool build up w/ alot of mods for this kit over on Starship Modeler for adding articulation, and improving the overall appearance. I always found it funny that the 1/12 bike kits were so great, yet the alpha's sucked so bad. Edited March 28, 2010 by Excillon

jardann Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 Man, you can simulate rust like nobody's business! All that suff looks amazing! Can't wait to see it all together.
big F Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 Man, you can simulate rust like nobody's business! All that suff looks amazing! Can't wait to see it all together. I wish I could do it.
MechTech Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 Nice work on the Fatty and the veritechs guys! My radiator leaked so every time I filled it there was a ton of rust coming from it. I took the rust and bottled it. Now I've got realistic rust! - MT
miriya Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 @Ron5864, awesome work on the Macross Alpha. Very creative and fantastic finish. @Kylwell, that rust work is incredible! Thanks for sharing.
VF-19 Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 Put the F-14 aside for now to work on my Viper Mk 2! I don't think I've ever been this psyched for a kit. So far, it's going together pretty nicely. The manual is right about one thing: Test fit the heck out of this thing before you glue anything together!
505thAirborne Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 The manual is right about one thing: Test fit the heck out of this thing before you glue anything together! Thanks for the heads up, mine should be here Saturday or monday!
VF-19 Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 Thanks for the heads up, mine should be here Saturday or monday! Did some more building. Things to note: 1) The cockpit sidewall panels need to have the parts numbers sanded off, and the ejector pin marks filled (very easy however). 2) On the belly of the Viper there's some copyright info that needs to be sanded off. 3) There's sink marks on the nose of the viper, and on the engine intakes that are just behind the cockpit. Needs to be filled. 4) There's going to be some nasty seams, which may be a bit tricky to be filled, that are on the engine pods. 6) You'll need to construct a conecting rod so that the pilot (should you chose to use him/her) is actually holding a joystick that's connected to the viper. Some good things: 1) The resin pilot is awesome! Much, much better detail than the re-issue viper's pilot. 2) It's the Viper Mk2!!!!! 3) The landing gear looks pretty nice. 4) Comes with a stand that appears to have Earth's (our Earth's) continents on it. 5) Box notes that the Galactica, Viper Mk7 and Cylon Centurion (new type) are coming! All in all, considering what comes with the kit, it's a bargan for $30 (what I paid for it at the local shop).
ron5864 Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 Going to start building this monster kit, 1/60 Gundam 00 Raiser. The size of the box is about as big as the ones use for shipping desktop computers. The kit comes with a display stand boxed seperately. This will take a while...

This will take a while... if your copy is like my copy, the plastic may be brittle and small stuff like the c-clips and the fingers may crack on you just from the pressure of snapping things together.

The size of the box is about as big as the ones use for shipping desktop computers. The kit comes with a display stand boxed seperately. This will take a while... Surprisingly, not as long as you'd think. Personally, I'd have gone with the GP01, Zeta, or Strike. It's an ok kit, but next to the Wing Zero being the worst, it's not nearly as nice as the other efforts in the PG line.
ron5864 Posted April 11, 2010 Posted April 11, 2010 I will be a bit more careful building these Perfect Grade kits so as not to snap in half any small pieces. I have already broke a couple of leg and ankle joints in a couple of VF-25 kits.
THOR Posted April 13, 2010 Posted April 13, 2010 my 1/48 tomahawk pieces....woops barrels a bit too loooong. hehehe!
Kicker773 Posted April 13, 2010 Posted April 13, 2010 1/48 bout time.. question now is will this be available to the masses? =)

neptunesurvey Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 Its been a while since I posted in the work bench. Here are finished models of the Salan Scout in both 1/2500 and 1/5000. Enjoy.
HWR MKII Posted April 19, 2010 Author Posted April 19, 2010 Yes Robb it may be at the contest on the first. Hell i may take it even if its not finished to tinker on it.
PetarB Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 Wow, this all looks very cool. Particularly like 'The Fatty' - my favourite VOTOMS and that Yukikaze, nice work!
MechTech Posted April 20, 2010 Posted April 20, 2010 The scout came out great Neptune! Congrats. Ron, that Perfect Grade kit is HUGE! I almost got one when I was back home, then I thought of all the Gundam stuff that I DON'T have. Then again, it IS THAT COOL of a kit! The LED's are a nice touch. - MT
Grapeape Posted April 20, 2010 Posted April 20, 2010 (edited) Neptunesurvey's amazingly detailed and also suitably biomechanical 1/2500 scale Salan Zentran Scout Ship. So far at the masking stage, before application of the green - we're using Russsian WW2 AMT-4 Green, seems most accurate to the color in the anime. EDIT: VERY sorry about that! I did create resized ones, then accidentally uploaded the full sized ones anyways! DOH!!!!! OK, here's the smaller size ones And Neptune - yep, actually, AMT-4 is a Russian WW2 forest green shade, so we agree Edited April 20, 2010 by Grapeape
thegunny Posted April 20, 2010 Posted April 20, 2010 (edited) How about resizing your pics so they download a bit faster edit: Thanks, much easier to load. Edited April 22, 2010 by thegunny
destroid Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 This is what I have been working on of late..... not Macross but it is a Mech.... Cheers, Jase.
505thAirborne Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 Looking good Destroid!! I used to have that Gundam kit.
