Wow, thanks for all the encouragement!  Given the positive response, I'll share an additional pic I didn't post earlier:

will you be building at least one on a sled?

The "Hemorroids" were usually seen aboard the Zor ships, and much less frequently on Biovers, whereas Bug Face was ONLY seen fighting on Biovers...

...so Bug Face gets the sled. ☺️

Has there been any progress on the Bug Face build?

Actually, I had to abandon much of the paint work I'd done after I acquired The Robotech Masters on Blu-ray:

Color reproduction is much better than on the old Southern Cross DVDs, and "Bug Face" is affected most significantly.

With higher-quality reference material to work from, I realized my initial color scheme wasn't accurate.

I hope to have it repainted, assembled, and displayed at this year's "40 years of Robotech" exhibit, along with Thomas Hawk, my Space Crabs, and another 1:48 kit I've just started work on... 😎

The larger images show more variation in color ranging from an icy blue to sky blue. The smaller stills still show some color variation, but are much more consistent. Either way, I'm sure someone somewhere will choose to bicker with you over your color choice, but it certainly won't be me. :lol:

I'm almost embarrassed to show it due to the unfinished state (didn't even notice the fingerprint until I took the picture 😡) but since you hadn't seen many others do this particular version yet I figured I'd share. Unfortunately, due to health reasons, I have to avoid things like glue, paint, and resin. Basically everything I need to be exposed to for these projects. Can only do 20 - 30 minutes at a time. For an obsessive like me it's almost impossible to do a hard stop in such a short time. Keeps me from even wanting to try.

Anyway, enough of that. Hopefully I can show you the finished work (along with ride armor, and spartas, and ...) before the end of the decade 😄.
