Another tiny robot pilot, this one in (so I declare) Star League olive drab with a personalized red and yellow neurohelmet. Silver insulated pipes along the arms and legs feed coolant to the suit as their mech builds heat.

And now for an entirely different, but similar, flavor of bullshit.

Crescent Hawks 3039 Striker Lance.

Crusader
Thunderbolt

I need to find a way to secure the thunderbolt's arm better, I might have to drill a hole and insert a peg or something.

Full glamour shots will be reserved for when I've got the other 9 mechs finished (8 mechs plus a second form for the Phoenix Hawk LAM)

We just can't quit those sweet, sweet mecha! This time we talk Fang of the Sun Dougram, an 80s anime that had several mech designs bleed into the Revell model line, and eventually into the Robotech/Battletech franchises. Hear us demonstrate our ignorance of this influential anime and it's related tabletop game in today's episode of Anim-A-Holes!

Funny little Shadowhawk* model**

*A Dougram combat armor from Fang of the Sun Dougram, in 1:72 scale. Basically a high grade, though none of the joints are polycap and as a result it's a little wobbly. A pleasant afternoon's build, save for some detail paint and water slide decals yet to be applied.

**In a perfect world there would be Battlepla to go along with gunpla. Le sigh.

CW: More naked robots,these have rashes!

I cannot get that stuff out even with a bladed sculpting tool that will scratch the metal, so I give up, at least for now. It's thin enough that the detail will probably still be visible after new primer and paint.

CW: More dirty-ass bare naked robots.

At this point, I may have to give in and admit that without an ultrasonic cleaner, these are not going to lose the discoloration or get the grooves cleaned out. A wire brush and a steel pick have both failed to get the red and/or white off/out.

An ultrasonic cleaner may not even work, tbqh.
