Winter/arctic markings & colours (was Let It Snow thread)

I actually don't think this is a Battlemech, although it looks like both a Scorpion and Goliath Battlemechs, which came from Dougram

Love that Navy Blackhawk ! Or should I say 'Orangehawk' !? Big fan of Arctic/ Antarctic Operations....

Cap, that's because you live in the Great White North, LOL!

Both are relatives - predecessors, to be exact. The 1st generation was/is the "Crabgunner" (or Goliath, after BT hijacking):

A late derivative was the so-called "Tequilagunner" (was REALLY called this way!), with side platforms, but basically the same model (this is not authentic, just a kit mod):

Then there was a development with more firepower - the "Firegunner", of which actually no model kit exists:

And finally, there was the six-legged "Desertgunner" as the final known evolution phase.




The BT Scorpion is a different thing - it is actually called a "Blizzardgunner":



BTW, also found this here...

Dizzy, if you happen to have any of the Dougram or Macross stuff in 1/144, 1/170, or 1/200 please PM me, lol

I still have one of those crabgunners I built ages ago. Splinter camo with some firepower changes.

I have a few of Robotech kits in my for sale pile.

Philp, I'd be very interested if they were 1/170

[philp]

Sorry, think mine are all 72nd.

Think the LHS still had some in 1/170th. 

PM me what you are looking for and I will try and get out there this weekend and see what they have.

[nighthunter]

Thank you for looking for me, Philp!

I have a lot of anime/mecha stuff stashed away, but nothing in the small scales - I have seen your request some time ago. 

I used to have some 1:170 VF-1s (my initial fix...), but these are all gone, only the larger stuff has survived or was hunted down for future builds...  

There are some 1:170 Revell Robotech combos floating on ev!lbay, though, not certain if that's an option for you?

[nighthunter]

Already Purchased a bunch through ev!lbay, lol, but thanks for reminding me!
