Yeah, if that's a labor it would work well as a police destroid - and while the flying units are pretty good, the centaur-ish poilice variable ground unit seen breifly in Macross 7 seriously needs replacing. Seriously.
Back to my own unit, the finish on the base unit is supposed to be field-deployment matte, but that ended up looking wrong without highlights so I picked it back up to semigloss - possibly a bit too much from your reactions. The armor is airshow-glossy because it's usually on the company 'mascot' airshow plane, the base unit is from an active anti-spiritia monster fighting team. IC-ly, they didn't just send the character in the airshow plane because it was the flight test prototype so it doesn't have the finalised avionics (including the fold booster compatibility to get there in the first place) or any of the built-in weapons, just mockups. OOC-ly, red-maroon-grey does look good but it amuses me to have a mecha in avocado-burnt umber-cream. I probably will texmap those eventually, just to add some char and wear marks if nothing else.
