  1. Those clear stands are too similar to the Barbie's ones for me!!
  2. It's a very nice kit. Good job! Any chance on selling the arm alone? The base looks terrific and it's a great idea but I would like to build the full rail system with the hangar door open and so. Thanks
  3. Joyride Viper series 2 (it is funny that the box says Series 1!!)
  4. GunnerX: Excellent model! I like the way you weather it. I was wondering why the panel lines look lighter than the rest of the paint in the photos of the real life plane (sort of a negative of your model) It seems to be the opposite in the YF-23 painted with two tone grey cammo. Maybe it was some sort of putty? (I know they used to use tape for covering the B-2 panel lines and they are using a special putty these days) Thanks for sharing!
  5. You may want to check this too: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...&hl=virgin&st=0
  6. Well, AFAIK there is a pic of the VF-1D Virgin Road in one of the Macross Art books. My books are little far awy from now but meybe some members can share those pics. Regards
  7. I dont't think I'm uderstanding what you really want... Let's see: It's a VF-1D. That means (using your own lingo) ""shirt front" straight". The chest of the VF-1D differs from the one of the VF-1A or S in order to accomodate the second seat. This is clearly shown in the Hasegawa paint instructions. Those instrucctions shows how the chest should be and how you should paint your model and that's why I told you to go to those links. That particular episode has one of the worst animation ever in the Macross series. You shouldn't follow what you see in the screen as canon! Happy modeling!
  8. MW is not only the forums, the models section of the main site has very valuable information. I think you can find these links very useful: Virgin road paint guide 1 Virgin road paint guide 2 Enjoy!
  9. The filter he is using is not enough for retaining all the nasty fumes but only the pigment. It's better than using nothing but all the vapors from the solvents are just being blown to the sides of the box. That thing would be much safer if can vent outside. Of course you should do it in a way that won't annoy the neighbours!!
  10. From the Hase point of view the difference between TV and movie is just a paint scheme and decals. The kits are exactly the same, not even the cockpit is different (and it should be!!) Some people says that the nose just before the canopy should be more rounded in the TV version, but I think that in fighter mode there are no more external differences.
  11. Three from Hasbro...zoooooom....zooooom.......
  12. Here in the Boston area it is hard to find them. Right now I'm looking for one for a friend too but with no success. I was lucky to find mine! (actually I kept going to the same comic store every week until they released it) If I find two others I will let you know. Regards
  13. But for 1/1000 you would need to shrink it a lot! I mean, the best looking Valk models are in 1/72 and 1/144 (Doyusha die cast? Resin?) From the 1/144 you would need to shrink it almost ten times. Is this possible without distortion?
  14. Joyride series 2 is out. The pilot action figures are not very nice. The only thing that attracted my curiosity was the egyptian helmet... I bough yet another Viper. The grey is really light on this new version. Amost white (IMHO is FS 36495). The stripes are still orange. The rest looks like the dark grey one...including a flimsy left wing... It looks better (or at least closer to the TV viper) than the series 1 viper.
