Customised AMT Havoc Marauder

[Madhatter]

Hey guys

My son built up this new kit from AMT of the Marauder from Bad Batch a while ago but he never got round to painting it. We were clearing out his wardrobe the other day when he found it and handed it to me and asked me to paint it for him. Naturally, I said No, you do it - its your build, but he really didn't want to and so, I made him choose the colours and the pattern and after a LOT of indecision and mind changing, he came to what you see below.

Painted in Zero Paints Mclaren Graphite grey, metallic blue and semi gloss and NATO black accents, it looks pretty menacing. Personally, I wouldn't have chosen blue, but its not my choice.

I have another one of these kits in my stash and it's prime for extra detailing. One day ....















Well, that's it, but I thought it came out pretty cool. Makes a nice change from the usual Star Wars Grey.
Looking at the base kit, as I said, there is heaps of scope for extra detailing if you could be arsed. I would, but as it is, I already have too many unfinished projects that really need my attention
As always, thanks heaps for stopping by and having a look
See you around

Agree, nice build and paint.

Interesting design, and good to see they've thought of a Tail Turret - something you don't see as often as I think would be logical.

Thanks guys! Yeah, it's an OK looking ship as is meant to be, but, once you swap the tail and wing angles, it looks so much better - at least, to me it did.
Sadly, my son didn't share my aesthetic enthusiasm for said look, so, I bought one for myself and I will make a believer out of him yet   
I broke the rear gun barrels off (by accident) and I am yet to replace them with brass tube. It'd be even better if AMT had added some interior detail for the rear turret, so looks like I'll need to scratch build something to go in there when I get to it.

Good job by both the builder & the painter!

Yeah no I can't - I have a problem and I need meds
