I just added the Kids Logic Minitech Monster and Armoured Veritech to my Robotech collection. Scale is the same as the Robotech Tactics plastic mechs (on the right)

You don't think it's going to have problems with recoil then? ;)
Nice models though.
-
From memory the Monster has a big hydraulic dozer blade in its arse that is lowered to dig in and take the recoil, but it is definitely compensating for something ;)
They look like a good scale match to the RTRPG range. Are they metal or plastic?
-
They are resin.
-
Absolutely stunning!
-
Collecting for fun or do you have a rules set in mind?
-
The kids logic models are absolutely stunning in sculpt quality.
-
Yes they are good resin sculpts. I use the Robotech Tactics rule-set, which works well so long as you ignore the Blast rule (although I think the Monster's cannons would justify a blast template). I initially bought a disgruntled kickstarter backer's boxed set to use the minis for a planned Battletech revival, but was taken with RTs rules which are a bit more fast play with less book keeping and more kung fu power kicks >:D.
-
Very cool. Thanks for sharing.
I had everything I needed for Robotech RPG tactics. Then I opened the box and looked at the figures and I "Noped" right out. Perhaps I should dig them back out again.
-
Yep.... it was a bad move making 1/285 scale vehicles with the same number of parts as a 1/72 kit. The Zentraedi and the Destroids weren't too bad, but building the 3 forms of each veritech and then trying to assemble enough for a squad, is treading close to the edge of insanity! ;D I still have a box of un-assembled Valkyrie sprues.
The Kids Logic ones are much simpler to assemble without any loss of detail.

I finally got around to painting the Female Battlesuit. It was a limited edition gencon mini.

Very nice!
Really enjoying this thread :D
-
Looks really good.
I have a full set of Robotech models around here somewhere - got sidelined when the main fellow pushing it dropped a box on the army he had just finished building and primed. When he rage quit over that, none of the rest of us could get our gumption up to build them.
-
Nice models and painting.
-
Loving looking Battlesuit. I never got one of those. :'(
-
I was surprised to get it. I bought up an abandoned kickstarter pack and it had 2 limited edition Gencon miniatures in it. I was saving it, but as KidsLogic now make them, there didn't seem much point keeping it tucked away.

I was always looking for the Imai Queadluun Rau kit.

While looking for the above link, I did note a 1/60 scale version (though scary numbers).

Slugging it out , regardless of collateral damage

Man, I love those Zent troopers! I could finally play out my Reconstruction Blues fantasies on the table!

Not exactly dynamic poses, but they'd do the job.

This is a Quel-Quallie theatre scout model kit that I recently acquired. Accompanied by a 3D printed Gnerl fighter.

I've picked up all of the Kids Logic mechs that cross over as the old unseen mechs to fill out my BattleTech Alpha Strike battalions, the sculpting detail and print quality is superb!
I'm in the customer camp of BT players who have been urging Kids Logic to get the Dougram license next please; at which point my battalions will need expanding.
-
Damn I was unfamiliar with that scout ship but I love its lanky legs!
-
Your Gnerl is pretty sweet. Did you buy it, or do you have a file for it?
I put together my Battlecry KS set, breathed a collective sigh of relief, and the mourned the fact that Wave 2 never came. As you said, the rules are fine except for the Blast rule.
-
There are files on Thingiverse, but this one (of three) is from Shapeways as I don't have access to a high resolution resin printer.
-
Had a recent game with a Zentraedi scout ship trying to escape the planet after being pinned by a Monster's artillery. Valkyries flushed it out and brought it down....collateral damage was acceptable.

Very nice.
Fond memories.
I wonder if I still have one in the loft.
