WIP: Revell 'Pelican': for sale

[dwartist]

...totally OOB. The kit is very basic but would make a great starting point for someone willing (and skilful enough) to improve it. I, though, am hoping to make the kit look reasonably good just by painting it! I've painted the interior, clipped it together and added it to the lower hull. I've attached the rear undercarriage legs but the ends that poke into the cabin need painting to make them less conspicuous. I started the Spartan Games resin version some time ago and will aim to complete this alongside the Revell one. The interior is painted and the model is built and primed. I may have already posted photos of the interior but if you haven't seen them they can be found here... http://dwartist.blogspot.co.uk/2016/11/wip-spartan-games-halo-pelican-dropship.html

And so it begins...

Awesome.  During the process - mind humoring us 28mm guys with some scale shots along the way.

Yes Please!

I kinda pooh-pooh'd the exterior, but, even with the squeeze clip, that interior is pretty impressive.

You go, guy!

Yes Please!

Just measurements would be good too. Even if it's against the hallowed practice of always keeping the real size of miniatures a closely guarded secret

good start

Comparisons and measurements later...

I have to say despite it being simplified and 'gimmicky' (lights and moving parts etc) to attract the toy market I'm really impressed with this kit. Moulding and detail is really good and even without gluing and filling the snap-fit seams it looks pretty good with the primer coat on. So good in fact I'm thinking of buying another one to super detail. This one will be sold for a very reasonable price. As you can see and as mentioned the Pelican has been primed and, hopefully, will get it's basecoat today. Meantime... size: It is approx. 320mm long x 260mm wide x 120 high at it's highest point with the undercarriage lowered.
Comparisons: with Spectre Miniatures Operators (about 32mm high) and ACP Mercenaries (about 18mm high). I'll take a few photos of it alongside the Spartan Games resin Pelican later (if I can find enough space to place them together!).

Fantastic, thanks.  I'm sold...I'll be getting one at some point for simple scenario use methinks.

Big innit?

It doesn't look too bad with 28mm stuff at all! would make a nice little shuttlee/tender craft.

Saying that, I really want one to go with my white dragon 15mm infantry. It could be an excellent objective/board centre piece.

I can take a couple of photos of  the pelican with MTU troopers...

Looks very good.

Might work as a proxy for a five engined jet for A.G.E.N.T.S.

[dwartist]

Base colour and a few highlights applied. Looks a bit bright at the moment but this will change quite dramatically with filters and weathering. Masking off a few areas to add contrasting tones before applying a gloss coat and decals (I'm having a set designed but they may not arrive for a few weeks).

Definitely bigger than I thought.  Thanks for the scale comparisons.
