Be gentle, it's my first time....... :lol:

Presenting, my first non-aircraft, non-armour completed model!


Had this kit in my stash since last year.
Plamo's Woob 04 gave the motivation to finish it.






















Full set of pics here


Several firsts in this project :
First completed mecha model for me
First time I used a sponge to do the majority of chipping
First time used the hair-spray technique for paint chipping

Thanks for looking.

Comments, critiques and guidance appreciated!

Very nice build. The paint chipping effect looks fantastic.

Awesome build dude.

Hey, nice build!! Especially like the paint chips...

Anyone can direct me to any previous post about techniques of "using sponge to do chipping effects"??

lovely work, chipping adds a nice touch.
is that german desert yellow?

Thanks guys, I had fun building this.


@Eng Hui : I used mainly Tamiya XF-59 Desert Yellow. Some spots lightened with XF-57 Buff.

Thanx alot, mate.

its ashamed that they didnt make a bigger version of this.... wlse would be just awesome.. or maybe a 1/72 scale to match with the rest of the Macross line (since most in 1/72 scale)
and thanks for the awesome link... will need to print that out and try the sponge technique..

yea.. we need more sci-fi build :D
