DESTROID SPARTAN

Another of the Macross series of models I’ve done for #macrossmarch, the Spartan was completed in June 2022, the most ambitious model I’d done to date. It’s the old 1/100 kit by ARII from 1983, and had major fitment issues and a serious lack of detail. Nearly every part was modified and the scratchbuilding especially the main weapons array was intense. The article, my second for the IPMS/USA Journal and first time getting the cover photo, appeared in Volume 36, Number 01, January/February 2024. A huge thank you to editor Chris Bucholtz for the supremely kind commentary on the model in his Editor’s Brief, I’m deeply honored.
