Great work on a challenging scheme. I haven't built an NSR for a long long time. I think it's time I built one up.

Thanks! I modeled and printed it myself.

It's close to completion now. All the main parts are painted and polished. As seen in the pics everything is now locked in place, there's no going back.

Thanks. They're pretty stable considering it's held together with friction and rubber bands.

Thanks! I drew it up using the MW4 game model for reference.

Here's my 1/72 Bushwacker from Mechwarrior 3 and the classic Timberwolf from the Mechwarrior 2 cover art. I made up the decals for the checkers which are not perfect but I'm happy with. I'm really happy with how the shark mouth decals came out.

No Amored core though I did see the new trailer.

I still have my scratch built mechs from playing too much Mechwarrior 2. My we've come a long way.

Thanks for the comments. Camo paint is not something I've done for a while but I'm looking at more interesting schemes these days. I'm loving the MW5 Clans teaser trailer though I prefer the classic Timberwolf/Mad Cat design.

Here's my 3D printed mech from the game Mechwarrior 4. I made up some decals and some are from the spares box. I went for a charcoal lizard type camo.

Wow I'm not sure about these cure times. I hold my parts in the sun for about 15 seconds to cure.

That is some great work on the figure decals.

Sanding the mounting posts down will help with fitting the polycaps. The Aoshima ones are pretty stiff so it won't stretch much or at all.

Great looking bike!

Fdm print a simple slot in attachment for the heater and a riser for the lid with a cutout. Attach a thermostat and Bob's your uncle.

Fantastic build!

Amazing. That looks like a 1:1 photoshoot. What does your photo set up look like?

My last build took nearly 2 years. If finishing is not absolutely mandatory I have a Pepsi racer I can crack open.

Nice colour! Great work on one of Aoshima's tricky supercar kits.

Thanks for all the comments 👍 I think fit is a problem if you try to build it all closed up. With all the panels opened it's less of a problem I think. I have another kit to try and build closed up. The clearer shots of the interiors are better seen in my progress thread here.

Thanks for the comments. Hopefully the pics are working now.

Finally I can put this away into the display cabinet. It's painted in Zero Hayabusa copper with carbon everywhere and a few etch and 3d printed bits thrown in. It's not a kit for beginners but with a bit of thought and patience it builds into a very nice model. I will at some point build another all closed up which has it's own challenges. Progress shown here.

Looks great. Is that the S27 decal or Tamiya?

That's some very neat work there.

On the home stretch. Wheels painted super fine silver. Front and rear hinges done. They are fixed but look better than the kit solution. It's interesting that the kit includes moulded parts for more detailed hinges but don't use them.
