leading edge Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Dude the deck is very compatible with enough work. Looks like it has potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight26 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I can see it, but it would take a great deal of work to make it into an AMRD, maybe two together with all the side garbage cut off, and proper ARMD sides added on, even the bridge could be adapted, mind you things would be badly out of scale, but...

PetarB Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I think it would be easier to start from scratch to be honest. The shape of the ARMD isn't that complex anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMANIFESS Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 True.We will never have a perfect scale Macross carrier. But this helicarrier willl probably require some assembly out the box. The bridge, crane & side fans probably come off easily. And considering we will never get a 3ft long ARMD it may be the closest thing we see outside of a scratch build. I'm just thinking of a fun alternative to my current home for my 1/144 valks.... another out of scale, non-accurate Prometheus.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MechTech Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 A little slow getting to this, but personally, I see more potential in just getting some sheets of styrene (see my signature block for a suggestion). Get .020" and brace it with .040 or .060" thick styrene bulkheads/stringers. I think you'd be wayyyyy better off for about the same cost. - MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMANIFESS Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 I was just thinking of a fun semi-accurate quick kitbash/repaint that my 5 year old may actually be able to play with. I forgot this was the hardcore super accurate customizing forum... I have no workshop or garage access so no major scratch building projects for me. But now that more pics have surfaced, looks like those side fans may come pre-assembled to the main body. So it will definately require more work then i intended... may just repaint it, slap some UN SPACY decals on it & have to put in my alternate universe Macross display area like i did with my Prometheus... ..
