mslz22 Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Calling this finished. Tried to take pics in a couple of different types of light to show off the panels and drybrushing. One with a regular size spray can for sizing, this thing is huge.... I will be sending out a few updated parts with the decals, just getting back to casting now that the weather is getting warmer. thanks mike Quote
DarrinG Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 EPIC! Would love to see a pic with a 1/60 Tomahawk or Defender at its feet . . . Quote
MechTech Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 AWESOME build! Who says bigger isn't better!-MT Quote
cool8or Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 Certainly, this is the center of attention of ANY Macross collection... Impressive!! Quote
jardann Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 A thing of immense beauty! Do you have an original finished kit? I would love to see a side by side for comparison. Quote
wmkjr Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) To compare the two versions. From mslz22 himself V1: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=19632&hl= V1: V2: V1: V2: From HWR MK II's V1 pics: V2: Edited April 20, 2015 by wmkjr Quote
Ghadrack Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Awesome!! You need to put a dog or a small child in the picture for scale, these things are huuuuuuge. Quote
Kelsain Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Awesome!! You need to put a dog or a small child in the picture for scale, these things are huuuuuuge. But who's brave enough to let their dog or small child near them? Quote
jardann Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 Thanks for the comparison pics, but I'm sorry I asked. Now I really really really want to add the V2 to my collection! My wallet hates me. Quote
spanner Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 holy crapamunga!!! that thing looks insane! You have done a fantastic job! well done sir! we salute you! Quote
Mintox Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Awesome build there mate. Nice subtle weathering too. Quote
mslz22 Posted August 6, 2016 Author Posted August 6, 2016 Just got the Hi Metal and just for fun here is a pic with the 1/72nd. I like some of the stuff they did, their interpretation of it, if i ever do a 1/60 or a 1/48 I would want to take some inspiration from this Hi Metal one for sure. The basis for a lot of my 1/72nd kit was the 1/144 Yellow sub kit, the Hi Metal has some much better defined details that i would love a crack at. Quote

edstuff Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 This is amazing! So did you start with a kit and improve on it? Regardless this is possibly the coolest kit I've seen. I mean my jaw hit my desk when I saw it. Outstanding Quote
mslz22 Posted August 9, 2016 Author Posted August 9, 2016 No total scratchbuild. This is amazing! So did you start with a kit and improve on it? Regardless this is possibly the coolest kit I've seen. I mean my jaw hit my desk when I saw it. Outstanding Quote
Gatsu Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 (edited) How have u been able to made it? Is it resin??? Is it articulated and posable? Edited August 29, 2016 by Gatsu Quote
Gatsu Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 (edited) And the destroids? Are them the Bandai? The Spartan is the bandai? Edited August 30, 2016 by Gatsu Quote
VF-1A Grunt Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 (edited) How have u been able to made it? Is it resin??? Is it articulated and posable?Gatsu, here's the very interesting thread about how Mike designed this second version of the resin kit:http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=37927&view=&hl=&fromsearch=1 Here's where he discussed developing Version 2 and the improvements he wanted to make on the original model: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=31710&view=&hl=&fromsearch=1 Wish I could afford one! Regardless, I think I stumbled across the discussion well after he had sold all of them. Edited August 31, 2016 by VF-1A Grunt Quote

Regardless, I think I stumbled across the discussion well after he had sold all of them. thanks, i saw it. Yes in fact the Monster seems really huge if those destroids are the 1/72 Bandai. 38 cm tall is a lot, maybe too big. But i don t understand why the Bandai 1/100 is almost half that because i think it s almost 22-23 cm tall, and it looks too small if compared to that... there is not that difference between 1/72 and 1/100...

HWR MKII Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 And the destroids? Are them the Bandai? The Spartan is the bandai? They are out of production Moscato resin kits. Quote
NZEOD Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 (edited) Actually there is ONE and only ONE Moscato 1/72 Tomahawk for sale on eBay right now. http://www.ebay.com/itm/John-Moscato-Macross-1-72-Destoroido-Tomahawk-Box-NM-/131955195087?hash=item1eb9247ccf:g:jowAAOSwCGVX7dz- Edited October 2, 2016 by NZEOD Quote
Gatsu Posted October 11, 2016 Posted October 11, 2016 Thanks NZEOD but i'm quite happy with my Wave Tomahawk wich looks very similar to the Moscato's. The one i wish more is the Spartan, nobody made a decent version of the Spartan exept Moscato... well the zentradi mechas too... Quote
