  1. Max and Milia. Nice find! What's the overall length?
  2. Thanks Gabe! Yeah I've got the Bandai Gunship, and Mowe ( posted in my stash pic earlier), but I wanted a second gunship 'cus I hope to build one with wings folded and one in flight. When I saw this Tsukuda edition I thought it'd be cool to compare it to the later Bandai that I already have, so I pulled the trigger.
  3. Just got delivery today on some more vintage mecha kits.
  4. Yes, I have the song on one of his records, so I recognized the lyric immediately.
  5. THIS IS KINDA OT but I thought it was interesting OK. So I'm building my Aoshima re-release of the old Imai legioss zeta and I decided to scan the decals to print my own given the age of the included set. While looking at them and trying to figure out orientation for placement of a couple, I decided to break out my cellphone to get an idea of which way the letters were placed on the decal. The pics turned out better than I thought and what I read on one was quite funny and on another was kind of bizzare. Here are the pics: The 1st is kinda bizzare. Like what a strange thing to choose to put on a decal ( someone must have been awfully proud of his new Honda). The 2nd is just funny. If you are having trouble I'm pretty sure it reads " HOW MANY TIMES MUST THE CANNON BALLS FLY" bloody peacenics! So now I'm gonna go through all my old kits and see if there are any more of these wierd inscriptions on decals.
  6. Japanese kits of that era weren't shrink wrapped. It is still in it bags though, but I got this one cus I really wanted to build it and still do. P.S. Great now I'm browsing Mandarake for old-school anime vinyl. Just what I needed something else to start collecting! Thanks MT
  7. Ha! I've only got about 500 or so records and 4 turntables, some folks have more kits in their stash than that! Yeah that Bronco kit was a nice find. I've heard about it's rarity so often that I'm kinda scared to build it, but I'm going to. . .
  8. Here are my boxed kits, for now. Still growing the stash and about 5 Hasegawa Super/ Stike valks and batroids bagged in storage.
  9. Oops! Can this topic me moved to the proper thread the? Sorry 'bout that.
  10. https://cosmicbook.news/disney-resetting-star-wars-erasing-last-jedi#disqus_thread Take it with a grain of salt, but there it is.
  11. And this VT-1 http://mumumuno53.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-98.html Here's a link to some progress work on these: http://mumumuno53.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-99.html
  12. Love the cell shade paint job on this VF-1D Gerwalk http://mumumuno53.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-97.html
  13. Wait, I am a mess? While my wife and kids may agree with you, I'm curious as to how you found me out! (LOL, autocorrect strikes again? *Chaos )

    Don't know if its kosher to post a link to where they are on the web here, but I have them in a .zip file that can be emailed. Fortress, shoot me a pm if you're interested. It's better to have the actual book, but like I said if you wanna have a look before you set out on the hunt. . .

    There are digital files of that book available if you want a look before you try hunting it down. I think in the scans there are something like 60 odd scans of genga from DYRL, about 20 or so of which are colour
  16. O.K. After reading all that I wanted to see how bad it was so Yes I watched it (pirated) and it really wasn't that bad. I should say that I'm not a stickler for effects so everything I saw was fine, sure some of it could have been better, but the only bit that really stood out was the leap on the roof, otherwise it all looked fine. Now with all of that said did I like it . . . yeah it wasn't that bad I kind of enjoyed it. Am I interested in seeing more? . . . hesitantly, trepidatiously yes. Excited? most certainly not. So what does that mean. Well it's difficult to put into words, but I have this vague, haunting feeling that the plot is going to get very, very complicated ( a-la Discovery) with lots of wondering if this new character or that is good or bad, and wondering what the next big reveal is going to be. There is also the feeling that we are likely going to get a few magic mcguffins along the way to smooth things out. So, while I expect that I'll be watching more episodes, I am also fairly certain that at some point (likely before the end of the first season) it will all become too much for me and I will bail out.
  17. I posted this over on the Starship Modeler thread about this series. Unfortunately I don't like anything Kurtzman has done . . . well, o.k. i have been known to watch the odd re-run of Hercules the Legendary Journeys on a Sunday afternoon, but I'm really not interested in seeing anymore of what this man's idea of Star Trek is. His style and my tastes just don't line up, and I don't think any amount of coaching, or suggestions from Mr. Stewart can change that. It's gonna be a pass for me. If I owned a bunch of Fords over a period of time and hated all of them, then they come out with a new model and I'm in the market, it's not likely that I'd consider it as my next vehicle - regardless of the features and promises. I don't see how this is much different. I'm simply not interested in buying what they are selling. It truly is a shame that two of my favourite franchises have been taken over by 'creators' that, in my opinion, only create schlock at their best, and usually pump out utter crap. Oh well time to move on to other things I suppose.
  18. Yeah, just watching his other videos now. it's definitely the D. So who's gonna get one of these and convert it to a VT-1, or VE-1? any takers?
  19. Is the VT-1 the same as the VF-1D? Maybe he's converting to one of those. If that's supposed to be Misa in the second seat it kinda makes sense, but the canopy of the VT-1 is pretty different from the VF-1D\VF-1, so you are probably right.
  20. Wonder if the 2nd figure is gonna be Misa from DYRL or Minmay from SDF?
  21. Started working on a' retro-future' dio a few years ago and decided to get back to it. Here are a couple of the pieces so far. Pretty messy as I have been trying out some paint techniques. p.s.(Sorry cell phone is all I have for pics)
  22. Yep, it looks like those tabs on the blade are there to provide a means to slide the blades out of the wheel housing once they have been fully retracted. Without the tabs, the fully retracted blades wold have no means by which to be extricated.
  23. About the feet. Way back in 2006 I posted a thread (really a step by step walk through ) of the mods I did while making a kit-bashed Gerwalk fro a Hase. battroid and fighter kit. It was a similar pose as what you are attempting and i went with extending the feet up into the gap.You can check it out here and see what it looked like to judge if you want to try something like it. link
  24. Here's a pretty good review of the printer.
