Nice choice, ER. I've always loved Battletech/Macross universe and series

Macross is my favourite modelling subject of all time. And while these old Arii kits aren't as good as the new Hasegawa ones, they still have great anime style - though I might suggest getting some new hands to replace the old boxing gloves of doom that were the standard 30 odd years ago.

Bring it on ER.Looks like a cool project,Count me in.

[eastrock]

Thanks a lot guys for following!!!

Bert do you have any suggestion regarding the replacement of hands? should Gundam Bandai kit fits?


Building blind most of the parts are already glued... still no luck finding instruction for it.



Cheers!!

G'day ER. You could try a Hobby Link Japan search. I tapped in "hands" in the search field and came up with this:

Hands Search

They should be about the right size, and while your at it you could get a set or two of these minus moldsif you wanted to update the kit a little.

Hope that helps. I tried to have a look on the Macross World site models page but they only have samples of the instructions rather than full scans.

[eastrock]

Hi Bert, I thing I would source out some friends who builds Gundam 1/100 if not better stuck with the 30 year old gloves.

would mind directing me on the sample instructions it would greatly help thanks!!!

[eastrock]

Finally finish with the tight fit and sub assembly of the Battroid... on the process of puttying the seam and filling gaps.



Cheers!!!

[Leon]

Looking good ER.

[eastrock]

just a small update due to the stubborn fitting this one taking a toll..

Nice project ER! I have fond memories of watching Robotech in the mornings before heading off to school. That 30 minutes always seemed to just fly by!

[deafpanzer]

Always good hearing from you... wondered what you are working on earlier but figured you were busy eating pig legs without me.

[eastrock]

Bill, Same here I love watching robotech

Andy, Thanks buddy... Just had an motorbike accident, now one of my leg looks like pig's leg lol

[TRM]

Nice to see you getting some bench time in ER! How's the leg doing? How's the wrist doing? How the cat doing?? Wait...that's right, you missed the cat! Hope you are feeling up to par soon buddy!

[deafpanzer]

Ouch! I better check your FB. In some way I envy you since you are getting more bench time because your leg look like a pig leg, right? LOL Take it easy buddy...

[eastrock]

T, thanks for checking in... the wrist is still in pain, and as for the cat I hope it still got lives left lol

Nemo, the assemble complete but it needs a ton of putty to make it to shape


Sometimes I hate sitting in the bench, Andy it pains me not go out and ride lol

[eastrock]

primered the main part of the body still lot of work to be done on this old dog of a kit but sometimes I like to push myself to the limit... lol



Cheers!!!

[bullardino]

Hooray, we start to see paint on it

[eastrock]

there are still visible bumps and defects on the body luigi, still need to putty the marks

[wbill76]

Nothing like a good Macross Robotech subject to get you going! Even if it is a dog of a kit, you'll whip it into shape I'm sure.

[eastrock]

Thanks Bill, already started base painting the kit with buff... this is an unconventional build.. puttying and sanding parts and painting what I've prime...



Cheers!!

[bullardino]

Nice to see some paint on it

[eastrock]

Thanks Luigi, what I can do about this is kit is to correct the color... the mold is kinda terrible lots of putty have been used just for the body...

[Mence]

Yep, agree with Luigi, good to see paint going on...
