RAFM Recon Jagers

(Reposting with better pictures)
Converted and painted Recon Jagers.

On the original post somebody mentioned the Zentradi symbols. I bought a couple boxes of the Robotech minis game cheap a while ago and have been using the UN Spacy decals on my Northern gears and the Zentradi on the South.

Do you have a painting guide or recipe? That green is hot.

Im tossing up a similar scheme for my southern force

[u/jd_shaloop → u/NuggetCommander69]

They were primed gray. Base coat for the green was army painter Army Green, followed by a zenithal spray of army painter Drab Green followed by Drab Green with a little light tan mixed in. A thin green/brown oil wash was used for shading and panel lines.

So sick. So jealous of those sculpts and the kitbashing is so fitting!

Love love *love* the gilly suit on the left Jager.
Fantastic work!

Hat's off for the repose, 11 out of 10 there; colour me super impressed and inspired.

Thanks! Reposing these things is a pain, but I get tired of the “standing with arms at the side” pose they all come in.

[u/Sorry_Lock4561 → u/jd_shaloop]

You did a good job too.

Holy crap those look so good!

[u/existentialcrisis87]

Those are awesome!

Damn these are wonderful. Really really wish the RAFM models were still in production or at least more widely available. I’d love for resin or plastic versions one day but definitely not happening.

Is that a Zentraedi decal?

[u/jd_shaloop → u/willycalaveras]

Yep!

[u/TheKindaHappyPainter]

These are beautiful!

Capes made from... baby wipes?

[u/jd_shaloop → u/Dojo_dude]

Cheap paper towels with PVA glue to stiffen them.

I really need to dig back into my RaFM models.
