Captain America has delivered us some fantastic resin kits for Macross over the years. And someone suggested we do a finished Moscato builds thread.

Here it is, put your finished builds up here, so we have a nice album of images to paw over.

I'll start.

Here's my Tomahawk. I've nearly finished the Defender but have been hijacked by some Gundam kits :rolleyes:

Great to see John's kits being built-up, and not left to languish in their boxes!

Here's my Kamjin. There's a magnet in his torso and metal connectors on his two alternate heads so I can swap them out for display.

My only other of John's kits is the smaller edition of his Zentraedi Scout Ship, but it's only primed and placed on a stand right now. Maybe I'll finish it this weekend.

Here are some more pictures. One is the Garfish from Mospeada and the others are the 1/2500 and 1/5000 Salan Scout cruiser. I commissioned the Capt to master these for me.

The weathering on the Garfish is awesome. Do you mind if I ask the technique?

Posted

Yes, you may ask. :p

All I used is a gundam marker fine tip for the panel lines and tamiya pastels.

Is that permanent? I know some will spray gloss, then weather, then dull coat.

Or did you just assume I knew that and I'm a tool?

;) (Devil is in the details)

And we thank you Neptunesurvey for commissioning the Capt to master these kit. We're all so happy to be able to share the joy.

Hey Neptune, the two yellow spaces on the side of the Garfish, under the Mars Base symbol and the big 23. What did you put in there on my model they're just two empty holes.

I still remember seeing that Garfish for the first time at Wonderfest (the american one), and being utterly blown away. I was absolutely convinced that it was some insanely rare japanese resin kit, and that I'd be spending the next 5 years tracking one down.

Suffice to say, bricks were shat when I met up with Neptune and found out that the Cap'n had sculpted it :D

I used sheet styrene and trimmed and glued them into position. It took about 5 minutes to measure and trim to have them fit properly.

Valkyrie, you should have seen your face light up when I said it was mine and who scuplted it for me. You did lay a brick. :lol:

I did not seal the weathering and I do not seal the weathering on any of my models. I have tried that once and it smeared the weathering as it dried. The panel lines I do 2 days after the paint has dried. I might spray a gloss coat before the decals but it depends on the paint. I usually seal the decals with a dull coat. I do the pastels after the decals have dried 2 days so I can weathered across the decal. The tamiya pastels are sticky enough to remain on the kit even with light handling so as long as you don't play with it every day it will be fine.

I've got the exact same glass shelf unit from Ikea! More pics, everyone! I know the builds are out there...

Seriously people, post them. How many kits has John sold? We should be seeing pics by the dozens.

This thread has been a bit quite lately so I'll start the new year of with my Defender, hot off the press so to speak.

Nice Defender! I have to build mine!

Anyway, here is my Gnerl:

These all look awesome! Would love to have a Gnerl of my own!

On the Gnerl - did the original designers think those white top and bottom pieces would be semi-transparent? I mean, can you imagine being in a dog fight with only a small porthole viewer to see oncoming fighters?

Posted (edited)

Maybe it is one big LCD screen on the inside and the porthole is just all the vital information and targeting stuff etc.

Sadly all of mine are still tucked up in their boxes apart from some sanding done to one of them :(

That seems to be the way all the Zentradi mecha are designed. I had watched the animation several times to gain hints about the cockpit thing myself, but all signs pointed to it being opaque and armored, so that's what I went with. To me, this is part of what distinguishes Zentradi mecha: no see-through canopies.

Yes - started. How soon I will finish it is another story.

I have started one as well, but it is on hold right now because I'm getting other models ready for Tigerfest, next weekend, and Wonderfest in May.

I also mastered the Garfish from Mospeada in 1/350, 1/48 VF-1D conversion, 1/24 Raptor from BSG, and 1/18 Tachikoma from GITS, but obviously not part of the 1\72 Macross line.

Did anyone ever get to build the Glaug Booster? I can't remember what happened to it, I don't know if it ever went into production...
