I have now finished this JUST IN TIME for the Brisbane Macross Convention. I will post beauty shots when I get back in a couple of days... :lol:

Posted

After a couple more clear coats and weathering, the camo pattern has all but disappeared. I don't know why... originally the delineations were quite clear, but successive coats has turned the whole thing grey. Maybe the Gods of Macross Canon are trying to tell me something.

Anyway, I finished it as much as possible before the Macross Convention in Brisbane. Here she is. Looking at her now in daylight - this is the first time I've taken a good look at her while the sun is out! - I can see plenty of issues. Still, that's a job for another day, as well as the missile pods.

Enjoy!

Excellent work on the kit & paintjob, and superb photography, looks very life-like in the low angle pics. I think the weathering is just right for that scale.

Too bad helicopter models are difficult to show in mid-flight without photoshopping the rotors.

Looks amazing PeterB!! On your 2 side view pics, your Commanchero almost looks like a real Helicopter. Your kit will be the envy of all the Convention your going too!!! B))

Gorgeous work PetarB!!! Thank you for sharing the pics. It does not look like a model. It really looks real! Amazing!

Awesome work! I think it came out great after all. The Eurocopter style rotor was a nice touch. You need to photoshop it in a dive firing rockets! It would be very realistic! - MT

Magnificent. Thank you for sharing your work. And the photos are great, too!!

Makes me glad I'm not a ground troop on the "receiving end" of it's wrath! B)) - MT

it's nice...but where's the ordnance? It looks really naked without the rocket pods.

I was thinking that too, maybe when he has more time, that will be a new addition!! B))

PetarB - Any more pics with ammo completed, or are you going for the naked look? :D

And to the rest of you that have this kit, build it and post pics or sell it to me!!

/seriously... :ph34r:

I've actually painted up most of the rocket pods, but not assembled yet. Maybe I will get a chance to finalise it this weekend. If so, I will try and take some pics without the dramatic lighting.

Just wondering if there were any more updates or if any one else had built this kit. I got mine in the other day and am really looking forward to putting this thing together.

By the way, any helpful tips, tricks, or lessons learned would be appreciated.

Thanks!!

how can i miss this.....do they still sell this? SSM don't have them :mellow: .....anyone knows where to get this amazing kit? :wub:

It was made by John Moscato (Captain America) you 'll need to ask him directly if he still has any. He only does very limited runs though so you may be outta luck. :(

I may be reviving an old thread, but, any pics of the completed model with weapons and all?

Not a bad idea. However, a lot of my models are packed away at the moment due to a studio move. Yes, I had some of these displayed at my studio....
