    Hi ya all!

    As you may or may not be aware, I a huge fan-boy of the Robotech/Macross anime series, especially the mecha. I have build a 1/72 Regult Assualt Pod, a 1/72 Destroid Defender and 1/48 Valkyrie fighter jet. My next build is my favourite, the 1/72 Valkyrie Battroid!
    The Battroid for the uninitiated is the mech conversion of the Valkyrie jet fighter, there is an intermediate version called the Gerwalker, but that is for another day.

    Started to put the kit together, this is going to be very modular to enable me to paint the various components and apply decals.
    The assault rifle is cool as it is deployed with a sling and is extended, where as in fighter jet mode it is hung on the centre line under fuselage like a F4 Phantom gun pod.
    In the meanwhile , I started my city scape which is Macross City and the office block that will be in the back ground.
    These great OO scale figures and office accessories ScaleModelScenery are really neat.

    I managed to paint the front of the office block, some figures and some of the office floors.
    This is turning out to be great fun.

    Thanks for watching.:thumb2:
