Convectuoso Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Hi. I recently started into the miniatures painting hobby, and though that, since many modelers here paint their pilots and other miniatures, it could be good to share some of our work, be it Macross related or not, and exchange tips that can help any of us. I'd like to start by posting a picture of the Hikaru and Misa 1/48 scale minis I painted to display with my DX VF-1J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekering Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 You did a great job painting those little figures, but... Isn't any toy or model kit a miniature? What are you proposing for this thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convectuoso Posted October 29, 2019 Author Share Posted October 29, 2019 Even though you're right, I wouldn't consider a 1/48 valkyrie to be a miniature given its size, but the pilot would definitely be. I would suggest we post pictures of any pilots or people figures that are smaller than 1/20 scale, and valks that are 1/200 or smaller. For instance, here's my 1/48 Blowsperior from Plastic Cretins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabe Q Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Is there any major difference between these kids logic miniatures and the robotech rpg tactics miniatures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convectuoso Posted November 3, 2019 Author Share Posted November 3, 2019 I don't own the RPG Tactis minis, but from what I've read, these ones seem to have better proportions and are easier to put together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convectuoso Posted December 21, 2019 Author Share Posted December 21, 2019 My niece asked me to paint the tokens from her Incredibles themed Monopoly. After priming the figures as seen above, this is how Mr Incredible is looking so far I still need to make some corrections, but I like how he's looking so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neptunesurvey Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I just found out about Minitech models last month and have kits 001-012. The detail is really nice and I will tackle painting them when I have time again in a few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mog Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Nice work! Most of my customs are figures in the 3.75” or 1/18 scale range. Though, I did mod the pilot for a custom 1/60 Yamato YF-21 many, many years ago. Wanted the pilot to fly the 21 in a more traditional manner: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convectuoso Posted August 28, 2020 Author Share Posted August 28, 2020 (edited) At last I had some time to work on my Phalanx and Spartan I used decals from the Robotech Tactics game by Palladium books Edited August 28, 2020 by Convectuoso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pontus Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 So, I'm no modeler, at least not on the level some of you are. But there were quite a few omissions from my toy collection that looked like they could be nicely filled by the minis included in the Robotech tactics RPG set, and maybe some of the Minitech ones (altho, they seem a bit smaller scale). So I bought some model paint and the main game set. The first thing I'm going for is the 5 Angel Birds and fan racer in time for the Kitzconcepts Roy release to recreate the scene with my Matchbox SDF-1 where he's yelling at Hikaru as they go into a climb. Anyway, here's my progress so far: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pontus Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 While I was getting the tiny fan racer at shapeways, I also picked up Isamu's bike for my Macross Plus display. Really wish I could find a reasonably priced X9 ghost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pontus Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 59 minutes ago, CHAVAKAISER said: what would be a reasonable price? Oooh, cool! What is it? The only ones in scale that I've seen were... well over $200 iirc, but it's been a while since I tried, and I may not be searching properly. Thought I remembered one on shapeways, but it was really expensive iirc. Considering that it doesn't need to transform or have any features that I need, I'd love to find a model kit or just a lump of 3d print for less than $60, but I'd certainly buy a full on toy for... hmm, $150ish max.
