well, I got the Tau Hammerhead Grav Tank in the mail earlier this week, brand spanking new from ebay and I am 80% the way through construction of my 1:200 Macross Officers pod, destined to be a Battletech MAD-3R Maurader.

cheers

Mike

There must be a huge margin of profit in shipping and handling these days. Everyone from ppl selling on ebay to companys are looting with the S&H.

I went the the Games Workshop US site to order a mini for reference.......
$10 for the mini.....
$7 to ship

Okay here is the 'Challenger mkI' so far




Hover has now turned into 'Anti Grav', I just liked the lines, the turret is to have 2 thermal lances, anti infantry pulse cannon and at the rear a SAM system, the front of the Tank will have inlets to cool the Hydro-Monoxide power plant down, oh and as a cheeky aside i intend to have 'Intel Inside' somewhere on the vehicle. Especially as it was designed and built by 'MicroIntelliSoft Worldwide Inc' in 2079.

I should make quiet a bit of process on the Scopedogs this weekend. Might have a few pics to share soon.

Also forgot that the mounts for the backpacks are still the horrid old ones in the kits, need to take them off and sand/file them straight, etc.
Still not decided exactly how many rockets I will load into the rocket launchers too, might leave one or two rockets off the kit.

On top of that I hate the way that the provided the extra rivets in the kits, time to hit the LHS and get a decent set of AM rivets.

I will most likely start puttying all the major assemblies next week and get them primed by the weekend.

Cool, thanks Matt!

After looking at my Legioss kits, I figured I'd take a bit of a challenge and instead of doing the Armo-Soldier, I'd do the Armo-Diver. Gonna take a bit of work to detail the cockpit though--it's almost as bare as an Airfix kit's Tongue [:P]

Slow, I have all the details worked out and have several scale drawings but I need to wrap up my Interdictor project before I go all out on this. Resin casting can be fun and enjoy now because from what I'm hearing the cost of resin is due to go way up.Angry [:(!]

I've got a Revel 'Challenger 1' 1/72 kit that is crying out for some creative reconstruction, I intend to rig it with rubber skirts, twin thermal lances, figures and
a camo scheme to suit combat on Mars.

Welcome aboard Dawnrazor. I'll add you to the build and we'll be looking forward to seeing this project unfold. Remember we live on pics...lots of picsBig Smile [:D]

Sounds great, make sure to post pics if possible!

My build has the legs together and the seams filled/sanded. Need to mix up the base coat and spray before I can go any further. I'm kinda stalled, because I got busy playing and beating Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes on the Gamecube and started playing Front Mission 4 for the PS2. Darn addictions! Evil [}:)]

Build update.

Since I am back home again I can continue working on the GB.

So far I got the legs for both the RSC and TC Scopedogs done(not painted though.
Weapons systems are also 90% done, still need to mod a few parts as per Instructions

Next will be the cockpits(one close, one opened) and the heads.
After that I will attack the arms, and hip armour.

Once all the major assemblies are done I will start painting both kits, different greensas nearly every version has a variance in the colour scheme.

Final will be adding a bit of ground to a wood base and putting both kits on it.
The RSC will be in downform with open cockpit and the TC will be standing on guard.
not sure yet about Chirico either will do him sitting in the RSC cockpit or standing next to it.

Oops, another latecomer here! I'd like to join in on this GB. Thinking of building a Mospeda Legioss Armo-Soldier in 1/72 scale (one of the old IMAI kits). Can I come and play? Smile [:)]

I got my little 1:200 Macross Officers Pod out last night and did a little dry fitting. Sweet little kit that might even be airbrushed as opposed to brush painted!

Be a nice pleasant in between build while I fight with my 1:72 Zvezda Kamov KA-27 Helicopter.

cheers
