sirhenk Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 (edited) probably the only oldschool bandai macross kit with decent proportions (at least imho) here are some scans from a hobby japan i dug up. seems like the modeller (Kouichi Hirai) decided to modify the shoulder and ankle joints for more dramatic poseability, as well as some other aesthetic upgrades to make for even better proportions. you can see the comparisons before and after in the second image. just wanted to share cuz me likes. enjoy Edited April 12, 2009 by sirhenk Quote
mechatek Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Fresh! I have a 1/100 Glaug on the way to me. Too bad I don't have the skills to build one like this kick a$$ custom. Thanks for posting sirhenk. Quote
Bri Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Very nice conversion with the joints. Shame the highlights and shading are only aplied to the dark grey parts. Would have ben more consistent if used on the whole. Quote
macross1979 Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 A very nice Glaug indeed. Thanks for the post. Quote
007-vf1 Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 Nice indeed. Those oversized cockpit rear truster look a bit overdone to me..too eggy looking. Besides that the modeler has my compliments... Quote
mojacko Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 i like it...this is really cool.....although my order for the old kit was cancelled.... Quote
MechTech Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 It can do the splits and everything! Must be a gymnast pilot! Thanks for sharing that, it does look a lot better. - MT Quote
big F Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 Nice rework on an old kit. Now Bandai go do a 1/72 one. Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Thanks for the pics!!! Looks great, nice mods Quote
