Whats Lying on your Workbench MK IV

the hornet is just a cheap Revell modelkit that I use to check out some alternate building methods and coloring. The SV-51 will be colored in Nora-scheme. I'm not that much of a customizer. The only custom things I did were those two things:

The F-14 was a cheap Italeri kit I "modded" into a Macross Zero F-14 with redundant pilots from two of my VF-0 kits. The VF-1 was a normal Hasegawa Hikaru VF-1A. But I did another paintjob on it. Both were done without Airbrush, so they look a bit messy. Pre-ordered two of those Hasegawa VF-11, so I can do a custom-paint. Thought about VF-X II scheme :D

Dang!

In other news, I have completed a couple of Macross items (one of which has not been seen 'built' yet). But I will hold off for another week before posting... I have a meet I want to surprise some folks at.

Never give up, never surrender!! :D Well, it's all glued together now, the break was clean so I decided to proceed and try to finish this up. Too $$$ not to try...if anyone can see the seams of the cracks later, we'll just call it ummm battle damage!! yeah, that'll work! B)) now the putty and the sanding begins!

Ahhh, one of my favorite designs by my favorite designer! Looking forward to this one.

Good luck!

Had a chance to airbrush my "pickle", as my GF has lovingly named it...Top only, gotta hunt down the color I want to use for the bottom this week hopefully. I think it turned out pretty good. The dark dirt wash i plan to use will darken the green up a shade or two... B)) I'm using this pic as a color guide sort of...

Technically, this 'WAS' lying on my workbench a month and 1/2 ago....

After I completed the SDF-1 custom, I was going to go back to my old VF-25S Ozma. However, I was derailed by this baby. :o

When I saw it, I just couldn't resist! :lol:

Some MW members might have seen this already from other forum, but I'm posting here again in case you're MGS fan and missed it. :ph34r:

Full action MGS REX resin kit conversion!!!

Jesse! The weathering on the raptor is masterful! One of the best I've seen on these boards.

I was reading a hobby book a while back at a store and I saw this model by Moscato which reminded me of the project on MW. Was the one in the book this exact same model?

Not done, but pretty close. I hope the members down under like it. Hasegawa 1/72

I'll never forget seeing a couple of these at an airshow in Windsor around 1991. Very impressive beast, but certainly due for retirement.

Exo...it is the same kit. John does amazing work.

505th, I agree 100%...would love to see a Mobius Raptor. There are 2 figures with the kit. A Boomer pilot and a Helo for the rear seat.

That is frakking sweet, can't wait to see the completed kit!! :D

One of my buddies whose the manager for Smith Bros Hobbies in L.A. said the latest rumor was that Moebius will be doing the PEGASUS, but no word of a Raider or Raptor yet, keeping fingers crossed!!

I hope Moebius does the Blackbird, the epitomy of sci-fi space fighter minimalism.

Couldn't agree more, last time I saw one of the kits on Ebay I was outbid, almost had it! But I'd prefer it in 1/32 to match my Vipers! B))

Ok Guys.....Here she is...the model I have wanted since childhood...finished. This was my first multiple piece resin kit..different to say the least from a normal kit...aside from the very difficult task of getting the two halves together, I really enjoyed building it. I tried to take my time and I am pleased with how it came out. Pics really don't do the weathering justice...hard to get a good pic of it on the green paint. The kit was made by Wayne at Scale Solutions down in Australia. It was very well done in my opinion. B)) Now I just have to figure out where and how I am going to fit it in my Macross cabinet! :o
