I wrote this in another thread, but I don't think people saw it. Starting with 1/72 scale....here we go (after this I still need to cover all the other scale items....Lets start making lists and getting volunteers! )

Just wanted everyone to know I have started working on redoing the models section in MW. It's still in the works, but Ill be looking for people who have some of the rarer kits who would be interested in helping us post content. For each kit I'd like to post:

1 Cover art (high res)

2 Instructions (complete)

3 Decals (high res)

4 Kit (pieces)

5 Completed kit photos (by MW members and particuarly well done ones from magazines (if we can...not sure on this...copyright and all))

6 Feedback/Reviews (looking for more of the Amazon 1 Paragraph here)

So...

A) how does this sound?

B) I'm going to need help. Starting with the 1/72 scale lists I need a lot. If you have any of the items below and would be willing to scan the above items, or you have finished one and would be willing to share pictures please drop me a PM and Ill start a running list of what we need/have. I'm hoping to finish a couple sections a week. THANKS ALL!

I need: (may need more, but off the top of my head I don't have)

Recast will at least show us kit pictures, but I'd love to see original box art, decals, and instructions if they exist.

This is a good start..but come on people...I need more. Step up to the plate. Ill even list your names as a thanks for the pics..how can you beat that? Enshrined in Macrossworld infamy!

[AlphaHX]

I would love to help... too bad I dont have any of the kits on the list.

While we're at it, we should review the kits for MAHQ...

[promethuem5]

actually Jesse, I was looking a bit back, and there are some pics missing in the Nichima (sp) 1/200 kits for box tops i think, and I have a bunch of them.... I also have a scanner, but I;m kinda busy so if you figure out if some of the pics are misisng, let me know and I will hook you up with what I can.

[Myersjessee]

There are a lot of pics already...and I'm going through what I can to figure out whats missing...which is why Ill probably take it one vendor at a time and which is why I have not listed all the old standbyes...ARII, IMAI, Bandai etc yet..I know we have alot) But, I do want more data then we have for some. All the box covers, and high res scans of the box art, instructions, kits, decals, etc. Start thinking about what you have that we are missing. Also...what model companies am I missing? (thanks in advance)

Okay.... I've got a ton of the 2000-2001 reissues of the Nichimo...
I've got the box, parts, directions, and some completed kits for almsot all of the valks and the regular battlepod. I can get an actual list and some of them to you tommrrow. How would you like them?

[Grayson72]

Hey if you want the photo etch set then I should prolly send pics of the canopy mask sets for the VF-1 & VF-1D Hasegawas kits

[Myersjessee]

Prometheum - perfect. For now, just start by making a list of what you have and posting it here. Ill compare with what we have and you can start scanning the missing or low res stuff right away. When its ready Ill send you my email.

Grayson - perfect...and the canopy masks would be great too!

THANKS!

[Grayson72]

Sorry.

Jesse, I'll help out with the Repptu VF-11 super battroid. If you still need it. I won't be able to get any decent pics until Saturday.

[Myersjessee]

No rush on pics. How does my model company list look?

Looks good to me...

But what do I know? You probably know more than most of us anyways.

Btw, Jesse, will those decal pictures do?...or do you even want higher res?

[Blackaces]

Everything sounds good

Noel

Noel,

Can you look at the kit maker list above and help me fill in blanks that I'm missing? Also, any chance your WF pics are still available for me to show completed kit displays for some of your rarer WF kits?

THANKS

[Blackaces]

I should be able to dig out whatever pics I have taken of WF Macross kits

I just need some time


also,

I am planning on bringing back the older reports that have gone offline for a very long time.

Will be doing my part to help create the best Macross archive right here in MW

Hey jesse, PMed you. I have some things that can help out.

[Myersjessee]

Perfect! Thanks! Agreed on Area Tanmen and also on Platz. (I think we have realized they didn't do Macross)

[wwwmwww]

I'm more then happy to help. I've now got a new personal email address. It's choff at bellsouth dot net. However I've been very busy with work since the first of the year and I think it's likely to stay that way for a while. So I'll be a little slow. Just let me know what you want and I can try to photograph a few kits each weekend or something.

Carl

D'Stance instructions are here:
http://www.macrosswo...hp?showtopic=92
And no I don't have this kit. Atleast not yet.

Do you or will you have access to pictures that were posted in the old forums?

3 Bad Men in a Hidden Fortress had a GREAT web page with some stunning pictures of their completed kits. I've lost the links and the pictures so it might be possible their web page is still out there. I believe the link and maybe even some of those pictures were posted in the old forums.

Carl

[Myersjessee]

Ill explore around some. I have a lot of pictures...I just need to go through and recognize them.

Seiichi just mentioned another kit manufacturer.

Fuhmon-VF-koubou

I'd never heard of them...they might just fall in the WF catagory.

I would love to see the 3 Bad Man kits. I heard so many great things about them but have never seen them or even know anything about it other than the fact that they made some great VF-1 battroids.
