MHL-MARSHAL Mech Warrior

Recensione dei Figurini Ral Partha

The MARSHAL has been painted bronze green con a »Mickey Mouse« pattern inglese della seconda guerra mondiale sprayed on. This pattern is very difficult to apply without the help of an airbrush ed a template, because the ears need to be perfectly round. The ears are arranged in overlapping clusters, very similar to the two-dimensional representation of a cloud.

The easiest way to create a template for the »Mickey Mouse« pattern is to punch irregular groups of 3 mm e 2 mm holes into a section of thin cardboard o plastic. The necessary hole punches are available at hobby shops, they are normally used for leather work. The templates are held close to the model, e dark grey paint is sprayed through them. The regulator of the airbrush should be turned down to 15 psi, otherwise the paint splatters sideways on impact con the model, defeating the purpose of the template. The pattern can be varied by aligning the templates in different ways, ed overlapping them to create larger groups of ears.

Valutazione

Easy to assemble, only the due arms need to be glued on. We used Rai-Ro filler wax to hide the seams between the torso e the shoulder pads. The hot liquid wax flows into seams e fills them. We then used a dental tool to scrape excess wax away.

Excellent cast-on detail. The MARSHAL consists primarily of rounded, angled, e sloped armour plate, con panel lines in the obvious places, e simple joints on the limbs. This solid industrial design looks very functional. The MARSHAL has no facial features, it’s wearing an elmetto con a long airplane canopy as a visor.

Despite its mass, the MARSHAL appears to be quick on its feet, it’s a compact ed agile robot. The posture is that of a gun-fighter, ready for the draw.

The MARSHAL has due mechanical hands, ed it is perfectly suitable as an industrial robot, especially in the larger figure scales. This Mech would require no conversion to use it in a non-military diorama, its weapons are hardly noticeable.

Not strictly compatibile con 1:72 scale. The MARSHAL is a solid Mech, not much taller than an carro armato medio M3 Grant, but con enough mass to stand up to one.

Cast from lead-free pewter. Mould lines on the shoulder pads need to be scraped off e sanded prima di dipingere.

The MARSHAL is a light Mech con medium speed. Using the jump thrusters on its legs, the MARSHAL may leap up to 20 metri into the air, e 120 metri in any horizontal direction. The Marshal is armed con due lasers equivalent to 75 mm guns, due lasers equivalent to 37 mm guns, due mitragliatrici da .30 calibre, a small rocket launcher, ed a short-ranged anti-personnel flamethrower mounted in the lower torso. The MARSHAL is a simple design con clear lines, e no gimmicks. The arms e hands are well sculpted, e the figure looks ready to draw imaginary six-shooters. This is a versatile pose, it can be made to look perfectly harmless if the MARSHAL is parked in an industrial diorama.
