Here's a set of detailed pics of the Moscato Hobby Models 1/72 Queadluun Rau! It's a beautiful kit and I recommend everyone get at least one MHM kit for the experience. I'm really pleased how this build turned out. Although the pose was more of standing one, I envisioned it flying. Since it flies through deep space and within the atmosphere, I expected it to be fairly weathered and combat experienced. The model disconnects from the base via a 1/8" stereo jack for easy transpo/storage.

Nice weathering. I imagine these getting pretty scorched from dropping out of high atmosphere and constant battle. I don’t think Zentraedi were well known for basic maintenance or cleanup of mecha. Hopefully they at least showered after

Thanks for the nice comments! It was a huge build. The original kit comes with pieces to show the cockpit face open up and there was a Meltran bust to fit inside; it just goes to show the level of detail the Captain puts into his kits! It's a bit hard to see but I added lights to the sensor dome, eye and back thrusters - those pieces were included in clear red resin! 

I read somewhere that the Zentradi/Meltrandi mecha was built by slave-labour from conquered species so that and the face that they were a warrior race factored into my weathering concept. 

I have another awesome MHM project in progress, so stay tuned for that!

I think I find your kit on a YouTube channel with the lights and it looked cool. Also liked the magnet gimmick.

 I’m pretty sure it’s this kit due to the color and weathering patterns 

Yes, I did do video but it was fairly dark. I just got my camera game in order so I can do proper images! Thanks again for the kind words all. How are you ChristopherB?

So oddly enough I wanted to just find that scene on YouTube about the Zentraedi factory since you had a comment about their tech and your video was only a few spots down from the top of that search coincidentally. At first I wasn’t sure if it was yours, but those weathering patterns were so distinct. And even though you think the video was dark, I think it really showed off that lighting gimmick. And the magnetic swap out for the missile parts was a really cool addition. I loved hearing that click when the parts went into place
