505thAirborne Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Cool8or that Tomahawk is superb and extremely detailed!! You just need a pilot for the Destroid and your set!! the Parade picture is awesome!! Quote
Roy Focker Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Great weathering. Looks like you work hard to make it look so neglected. Quote
RogueTrooper Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 What a pleasure to look at. Ruddy awesome, the weathering is really something. Excellant line-up of models there. Quote
Ranger565 Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 What a pleasure to look at. Ruddy awesome, the weathering is really something. Excellant line-up of models there. Ok the missles are correctly painted. WHAT in the world did you do? Please let me know so I can redo mine like that Quote
Gabe Q Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 You're a genius! Perfection. Your decals are done so well they seem painted on. I wish you would do a build up thread where you show us step by step how you build something at that level. Quote
neptunesurvey Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Looking good. Its nice to see another one completed. I also see you built the one without the damaged arm and missile cover. Quote
Straycatt Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Gotta be honest.... Looks awful... Tell you what, send it, and your other Moscato builds and I will be happy to improve them for you. Now, they might sit on my shelves for a bit till I get to them, so I will have to suffer through looking at them, on a daily basis, till I get around them. Seriously though, outstanding job on these. -Adam Quote
PetarB Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Wow Ruben, that's fantastic work! Weathering is great, and the finish on glass, etc is contrasting, as it should be. Well done. Quote
honkhet Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 ZOMG that is awesome work! sorry for my noobiness, but wow i never knew there were 1/72 tomahawk kits? who made them? Quote
505thAirborne Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 The 1/72 scale Destroid were made by Imai and they are older kits, late 80's. Maybe a re release in the 90's. but they are pricey if you can find them. But the detail is fantastic even today!!! Quote
AcroRay Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Wooooooooooooooowwwwwwww! That's a real beauty to look at. True toy porn! Quote
captain america Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 (edited) I freaking love it!! I'll have to build my own kit eventually, just out of pure jealousy! Ruben, I tip my hat to you, you make my models shine! P.S: be honest, now. Did you saw off the missiles and make your own with styrene? Edited March 9, 2009 by captain america Quote
Ranger565 Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 I freaking love it!! I'll have to build my own kit eventually, just out of pure jealousy! Ruben, I tip my hat to you, you make my models shine! P.S: be honest, now. Did you saw off the missiles and make your own with styrene? Second that about the missiles? Quote
MechTech Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Awesome work! If my maintainers ever let our equipment go that bad, I'd make them walk the plank I'm guessing you used decals on the missiles? The whole thing looks great! - MT Quote
cool8or Posted March 9, 2009 Author Posted March 9, 2009 Ok the missles are correctly painted. WHAT in the world did you do? Please let me know so I can redo mine like that Hi Ranger. Since the missiles are white and its base is gray, paint it was a headache. So, as John and MechTech supposed, that are all-new missiles, made by styrene tubes, and details made by decals. Styrene tubes are 4 mm (5/32"), and I made decals printing an excel, like this: If you want, I can send this file, just send me a PM with your email. I freaking love it!! I'll have to build my own kit eventually, just out of pure jealousy! Ruben, I tip my hat to you, you make my models shine! P.S: be honest, now. Did you saw off the missiles and make your own with styrene? Thank you very much John. Since you are the sculptor, your congratulations are priceless. Quote
Ghadrack Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Awesome build, painting and weathering. And I have to say that parade picture puts a smile on my face every time I look at it Thanks for posting! Quote
Berttt Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Awesome work man I love it! Nice idea on the missiles - consider it thoroughly pinched for my build. Quote
Steve71 Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 I'm just getting back into modeling after a 20 year break - I'd love to know how you do it. That Destroid is outstanding. Quote
Vile Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 The Tomahawk will always have a special place in my heart, being my first Marcoss kit (before I'd even heard of Macross). Outstanding weathering, and I like that the missiles look pristine - it always pains me to see a well-weathered model with equally well-weathered expendable munitions! Oh, and I second the call for more info on how you did that searchlight, it looks great. Quote
Lt. Z0mBe Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 Looks great! I would love to have one like that in my display case! Kenny Quote
Lethalzero Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 i dont usually post a comment... but the weathering is freaking insane.. the lamps too... Quote
