goldenboy_forever Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 (edited) Macross 2 fanatics Rohby has taken up this fantastic oportunity to reproduce another flawless enemy resin kit for you. We will be producing Mardook enemy battle pods from Macross 2. The size of the Mardook battle pods are about 3 inches. The Mardook battle pods are originally from the vf-2ss musasiya kit. Each Mardook battle pod is made of 6 simple parts, and very easy to paint and assemble. As you know Macross 2 enemy mech are pretty much impossible to get or even find. That's why Rohby was kind enough to take on this project for us. The Mardook enemy battle pod will come in sets of three. Shipping for the battle pod will be cheap because of the size of them. If your interested in these please post your comment. I will let the pics explain the rest. (*sidenote these are not my pics but they are from starship modeler.com the modeler is Darren Bertrand) Here is a pic of the Mardook battle pods from the instruction booklet here are some pics of Mardook battle pods with a vf-2ss valk (pics are from e2046.com) From Rich&Rohby Edited December 19, 2004 by goldenboy_forever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jipe Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 Hi, Are they really 1/72 scale models. The musasiya pods are not 1/72. It's not simply a recast so ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenboy_forever Posted December 19, 2004 Author Share Posted December 19, 2004 the battle pods are around 3 inches . They should be 1/72 scale because they came with the 1/72 musasiya kit that has the vf-2ss. Some people say they are non scale, but from a model perspective they look great next to the 1/100 scale bandai vf-2ss. From Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangard Ace Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Great. So exactly HOW MUCH money is Rohby wanting to take from me? :D (JM's, TF Gunpods, now M2 badguys...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jipe Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Sorry guys, but I guess the pods in the musasiya kit are not 1/72, but 1/200 or even less according to this picture. ( from Macross II This is animation special 5). Don't forget that's a giant zentran pilot inside, and not a micron/human marduk. A real 1/72 scale pod should be around 15 or 20 cm long (like a Glaug). I would like so much have this model in 1/72 scale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neova Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 I have the original kit (LOVE THIS KIT) and would love some more battle pods too. Hell, re-cast the WHOLE VF-2SS so I can have a full squadron! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myersjessee Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Correct...the pods from the 1/72 scale kit are non-scale. It would be nice if they were scale...but they are not. They are cool though, and can be placed in front of the kit on display for a scale distance look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
