Joining the collection is a snow camo clad Mad Dog / Vulture.

Looks great! Love the colour combo.

I beg to differ. I have plenty of Hasegawa kits in my stash, most are newer than 10 years.

Wow, that's some crazy dedication!

I would use a high poly model to print. More polys, more detail. As for scaling I always model at full size then I make an instance at the scale I want and export that for print. I also use 3dsmax as it's great for modeling and it's what I know. Definitely personal taste when it comes to modeling.

I agree the earlier designs are fantastic and for me the definitive versions even though some of them may have been lifted from Macross. Since they share half the parts, once the Timberwolf was done it makes sense to do the Mad Dog. It will be a snow camo clad Ghost Bear.

Thanks for the comments all. 1/72 is big enough for me and what my printer can handle. I don't even like thinking about 1/60 scale. I'll leave any bigger to others with large format printers. Not only does resin use increase by volume but weight and stress on joints becomes an issue.

That is a great colour choice. The lines of that car is just gorgeous.

I've sent you a message.

They are both 1/72 scale. The Timberwolf is 177mm in height and the Bushwacker is 128mm tall.

Here's my Timberwolf in Swedish splinter and Bushwacker in sand camo. Both are 3D printed models.

Thanks for the comments. Even though it's an older kit it still builds up nicely.

Finished in Tamiya Bright Red with some pearl mixed in. I replaced all the carbon decals and cleared the rest to prevent any cracking. Added some 3d printed parts like chain and axle parts. Some progress pics here.

Consider using Lychee. I've never had an issue with island detection with that program.

Testors made a "Sport Model" Lazar UFO. I kinda want to track down a copy of that.
