Hi everyone!
I finally finished my 28mm Scale Marauder Kit und I'd like to share a few pics. Originally I bought it as a resin garage kit some years ago, but last Christmas, motivated by MWO , I finally started working on it. In the end it got a bit darker as I intended, but I'm pretty happy with the result. It's the first time I used an airbrush and I really need a lot mor practice with that thing. It's also the first time I used pigments as you can see on the muddy feet.

Nice Job!

That is excellent! Don't worry about the dark finish, it looks ace. Very nice highlighting and weathering as well, I wouldn't have guessed it was your first time with an airbrush. Nice decals too

Looks awesome!

U remember having my Models of it, and realizing just how impossible ti would have been for the thing to actually walk, let alone run...... so much as I love it, gotta say it needed a re-seeing, anyhow.

But static,still looks BA!

Walking must look really akward

[Stingray Productions]

Love it. Great accents, and super smooth paint.

Which kit is this ?

[Arrtax]

Thank you all!
It's a garage kit I bought from Cananda years ago. I think it's a recast from a Macross 1/72 Glaug Officer Pod.

Nice. Do you recall if they are still available / where you bought it from ?

In the box it had been lying around for the last few years I found a little leaflet with the address of the shop, when I started building it last Christmas. Out of interest I checked it then. The store still existed, but they didn't have the kit anymore.

I want it in MWO now!!

Damn. Ah well. Appreciate the info

This is pretty cool, and is that a storm trooper there? You have now combined two of my favorite things in life, your awesome!

[Arrtax]

I will probably use it as a terrain piece for Infinity (a tabletop game by Corvus Belli)

Somone made a gif of a running Marauder some time ago but it's not easy to find any more, the Mektek animation for MechWarrior 4 MekPaks is probable the best example of how it moves along with a few other examples

Nice, but they put additional joints in the shins to make it able to walk.

There is also the original animation from Macrossshowing it walking/running (though, the linked clip is actually from Robotech).
