Macross - Destroid Defender 1/72

That looks very nice indeed mate.

The build continues and I'd thought that a bit extra depth was required in the form of camo netting.

There are product available, but I wanted to make my own using two techniques I found.
One was using crepe bandage, coloured using acrylic paints and the other was to use templates, and again I have opted for my own home made creation.


I will finish the pattern using the airbrush + template and free hand with the AB for the third colour.

Next time I will have a completed camo net to show - hopefully.

Thanks for watching.

The pattern for the camo worked out nicely, but unfortunately the crepe bandage used was too thick to suitably apply to the build. Oh well, lesson learnt.


I have now officially finished the build, but have not as yet taken a decent set of photos of the completed build, so I will leave you with a fortuitous pic I took of the Destroid in my home office window. Additionally, another pic of it with the silver award at the North Surrey Model Show held in Banstead, Surrey. Myself and fellow members of the Horsham Modellers Club represented ourselves very well against great builds from other clubs.



Thanks for watching and till my next build which will be something different, a Ducati 1199.

Great looking build

 

[Tim Marlow]

That was a fun build, worthy of the award as well. Great stuff!

That is a cracking build.

Here are images of the completed beast.
