PetarB Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 (edited) Captain America has delivered us some fantastic resin kits for Macross over the years. And someone suggested we do a finished Moscato builds thread. Here it is, put your finished builds up here, so we have a nice album of images to paw over. I'll start.

neptunesurvey Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Here is the Destroid family and the Gnerl. Still working on the Commanchero and started work on a Regult Pod and the Graug Pod (officer pod). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AcroRay Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Great to see John's kits being built-up, and not left to languish in their boxes! Here's my Kamjin. There's a magnet in his torso and metal connectors on his two alternate heads so I can swap them out for display. My only other of John's kits is the smaller edition of his Zentraedi Scout Ship, but it's only primed and placed on a stand right now. Maybe I'll finish it this weekend.

neptunesurvey Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Here are some more pictures. One is the Garfish from Mospeada and the others are the 1/2500 and 1/5000 Salan Scout cruiser. I commissioned the Capt to master these for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neptunesurvey Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 The weathering on the Garfish is awesome. Do you mind if I ask the technique? Yes, you may ask. All I used is a gundam marker fine tip for the panel lines and tamiya pastels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimateone Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Yes, you may ask. All I used is a gundam marker fine tip for the panel lines and tamiya pastels. Is that permanent? I know some will spray gloss, then weather, then dull coat. Or did you just assume I knew that and I'm a tool?

Grayson72 Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 (edited) Hey Neptune, the two yellow spaces on the side of the Garfish, under the Mars Base symbol and the big 23. What did you put in there on my model they're just two empty holes. Edited September 18, 2010 by Grayson72 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 I still remember seeing that Garfish for the first time at Wonderfest (the american one), and being utterly blown away. I was absolutely convinced that it was some insanely rare japanese resin kit, and that I'd be spending the next 5 years tracking one down. Suffice to say, bricks were shat when I met up with Neptune and found out that the Cap'n had sculpted it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neptunesurvey Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Hey Neptune, the two yellow spaces on the side of the Garfish, under the Mars Base symbol and the big 23. What did you put in there on my model they're just two empty holes. I used sheet styrene and trimmed and glued them into position. It took about 5 minutes to measure and trim to have them fit properly. Valkyrie, you should have seen your face light up when I said it was mine and who scuplted it for me. You did lay a brick.

Or did you just assume I knew that and I'm a tool? (Devil is in the details) I did not seal the weathering and I do not seal the weathering on any of my models. I have tried that once and it smeared the weathering as it dried. The panel lines I do 2 days after the paint has dried. I might spray a gloss coat before the decals but it depends on the paint. I usually seal the decals with a dull coat. I do the pastels after the decals have dried 2 days so I can weathered across the decal. The tamiya pastels are sticky enough to remain on the kit even with light handling so as long as you don't play with it every day it will be fine.

DarrinG Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 These all look awesome! Would love to have a Gnerl of my own! On the Gnerl - did the original designers think those white top and bottom pieces would be semi-transparent? I mean, can you imagine being in a dog fight with only a small porthole viewer to see oncoming fighters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big F Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 (edited) Maybe it is one big LCD screen on the inside and the porthole is just all the vital information and targeting stuff etc. Sadly all of mine are still tucked up in their boxes apart from some sanding done to one of them Edited March 13, 2011 by big F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Gnerl - did the original designers think those white top and bottom pieces would be semi-transparent? I mean, can you imagine being in a dog fight with only a small porthole viewer to see oncoming fighters? That seems to be the way all the Zentradi mecha are designed. I had watched the animation several times to gain hints about the cockpit thing myself, but all signs pointed to it being opaque and armored, so that's what I went with. To me, this is part of what distinguishes Zentradi mecha: no see-through canopies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neptunesurvey Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Yes - started. How soon I will finish it is another story. I have started one as well, but it is on hold right now because I'm getting other models ready for Tigerfest, next weekend, and Wonderfest in May.
