I've painted my first 1:48 ATAC trooper...

The Hovertank is that big in robot mode?  I always assumed it was roughly 3.5 humans tall.  That looks a bit... bigger than that.

The hover tank is only supposed to be about 6 m tall. So yeah about 3 to 3 and 1/2 people tall. 

Still, look at the detail work there. Tekering is out here putting the official licensees to shame again.

You are correct.  Moscato knows Tatsunoko stats aren't worth the paper they're printed on, so he's scaled the mecha up a whopping 150% this time... and even then, a 1:48 pilot figure just barely fits between the arms:

"Tanku-Robo" stands 19.7cm tall in robot mode, which works out to a 9.45 meter battloid... much larger than the official 6.2m height.

As a result, the model is roughly equal in height to a Master Grade Gundam kit, making it easy to customize with Bandai parts:

As I've stated in the "Tanku-Robo" thread, I have a lot of niggling issues with this particular kit... but scale is not one of them. 

I couldn't be happier with the size. :good:

At some point I'll have to update this pic with your lovely Tanku-Robo builds.

Since you like to add digital backgrounds to my pics, Cap', I thought I'd try and save you the work this time:

Maybe one of these images could be used for a future reissue. ☺️

Looking good with the background images.

Oh, that is BEAUTIFUL!  So much so that the swear censors on this site are overloading trying to clean up what I'm saying 😁

 

Amazing work from both the sculptor and the builder!
