Love the Mc75 A, B and C formats. That would be a baller retrofit for Mels to sell.

I like the models, have to sigh at the “just make it bigger” mentality. If Mel’s downscales then, I’d think of buying one

I don't see that image as having the original to scale with the alternates. I can see how one could interpret it that way, but I think the original is there as a comparison of design and not for scale... but I could be wrong (as that's usually the case 😋 )

I agree, if Mels ever does them id scoop B & C up in a flash. Not too sure about A but its not too bad.

Looking at the Image of the Profundity in the corner, these images are blown up in size so we can see them better.

We know what the main MC75 looks like, so it's off in the corner.

Personally, of all of those, I like the A type most, bar the R1 version.

It looks more sleek

@melminiatures , any chance of the Mc75 A, B, and C variants in the future?

They all have a bit of a kitbashed look; I think C looks most natural, but even then you can see they've just taken the centre-plate part, moved it back and flipped it. The bits they've added onto the A don't seem quite in the same style, and the B looks like a K-Wing ran into the back of it at high speed.

Kitbashed ships always have those awkward joins, where the two styles don't quite fit. It's a lot better with computer-modelled ones, where it is easier to smooth over the parts, but even that Gozanti looks a little awkward. I guess the Mining Guild Freighter seems to work (although maybe could do with a different colour scheme, to make it less like the Consular-class).

The original ones look neat, but I'm guessing they were less likely to make it into the film as building a kitbashed ship model is a lot quicker and cheaper than building and entirely new one.

Yup

To be fair the kitbashed look is the bread and butter of SW ships. I mean the bulps on Mon Cal cruisers in the film are bombs and drop tanks from jet fighter kits and their engines are from an Saturn rocket kit.

Sure, and most of the detail on the ISDs and SSDs comes from kits, but they're all broken down enough that they fit together well, into a stylistically-consistent whole. You wouldn't take the Saturn rocket kit and then stick an ISD bridge on top and say "look, a nice new starship", as the two parts don't fit together.

Yeah fair enough.

I was still delighted but confused seeing the MC-75 briefly in that fleet, since it was captured in R1 and I thought canon is that all the MC ships are unique.

The classes have basic designs, but the individual ships are unique within that class. So a door might be moved, or the bridge might be slightly to the left, etc. But from a distance they would all look the same.

I love this one.

Someone cut onions during that scene at my cinema. That shot was beautiful.
