neptunesurvey Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Or do you mean the U.S. Marines "dirty" look. If I saw two planes with multi-services side by side, I can always pick out the Marines plane. Their maintainers are not into soap and water as much as everyone else - MT That would be the look. I've been also toying with the idea about painting the Commanchero in the Israel Sand color.
electric indigo Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Yeah I also meant the weathering effects. I want to see a really dirty bird.
Kremmen Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 (edited) A 1/72 Gluag booster would be huge and would be a lot of resin, and attaching a resin Glaug would be a problem. If you have seen the one that Monkey Nugget did a long time ago in 1/100 it was one heavy solid piece of resin and it used a Bandai 1/100 Glaug kit because the resin Glaug had weight issues. I'm assuming few people would want to buy an aftermarket booster-only kit and sacrifice half of their Arii or Moscato Glaug to put the cabin and arms on the booster. So the Glaug booster kit would logically have to include a partial Glaug kit, which can be adapted for an easy fit. A resin Glaug booster would certainly be large and heavy, but not more than the Randy Cooper Star Destroyer. I'd think vac-form would be lighter and cheaper though. Not sure I can wait. My old scrapped Arii Glaug has shredded legs; it was part of a 'war relic' dio. It's just lying around doing nothing, and so is a stack of Renshape...hmmm.... PS sorry, the thread was just getting back on track, I'll stop hijacking. John as you can see there's some excitment about the G, how far away is your official G thread do you think?

cokefiend Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Well I admit the 2 ideas that have been floating in my head were the dirty grey like that Cobra or a desert colour scheme. But now Im liking the Airwolf colours. Hmmm too many options.
ultimateone Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 C'mon, nobody has started to put one of these babies together yet? You all have fans on the sidelines waiting to see the game begin!!
PetarB Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 I've begun to put mine together. I will start a WIP thread sooner or later. Got a few special bits and pieces to help make it interesting.
Vile Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Really looking forward to seeing one of these birds with some paint on!
neptunesurvey Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 My 1/72 helo pilots came in and should begin work shortly. I've also decide on a gray paint scheme.
PetarB Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 How about we start a new 'group build' topic for the Commanchero? I've got some pics to post, but it would be really cool if we got a few people doing it together and we could all see what people are up to. I don't think we've had a group build for awhile???
