Hi all
Here is my entry in the Sci Fi Ground Assault GB.
Kit is a 1:200 Bandai Officers Pod kit from Macross/Robotech. FASA licensed a lot of the Macross 'mechs for it's Battletech game. Harmony Gold eventually did not allow FASA to renew its license and the mechs become "the unseen" . All publications with illustrations of the ex Macross mechs were re-published with different Battlemechs.
The kit would work out to be closer to 1:72 (14m tall) for Battletech.
This is a 3028 era MAD-3R Marauder Heavy Battlemech from the command lance of the 1st Company Federated Suns 1st Armoured Cavalry. This regiment are a hard hitting House Davion unit with mostly medium mechs. I would imagine a company commander would have a heavier mech as his personal ride.
The Marauder masses 75 tonnes and is one of the most feared battlemechs in the Inner Sphere. It's crab like shape boasts a heavy armament of twin PPC's (particle projection cannon), twin medium lasers and a AC5 Autocannon.
Kit went together well although I had to glue some of the articulated joints to ensure some rigidity. Filler was needed on almost every join.
Brush painted using Vellejo and Ceramcoat acrylic paints. Base is a custom base. Decals are from Fighting Piranha (used for decalling the Battletech game miniatures).
1st Federated Suns Armoured Cavry mechs most often field an overall Davion Green camoflage.
ok, without much further ado, here are the pics...
Hope you all like it!
cheers
Mike
