  1. More first class work and i am pretty sure that is the first timer I have seen a kit reshaped so that a decal would fit! - Brett
  2. ....You we right the first time. It was a personal challenge thrown down Some seriously good work here Ted. Modifying figures is not fot the faint hearted. - Brett
  3. Looks great Ted! Apologies for the void on the torso - I am not sure how that got through QC I agree with everything you mention WRT pilot colours and thanks for a heads up about that scene. I hadn't noticed that one before. Cheers, Brett
  4. Actually the VF-1 fighter series are the most difficult to build of the Hasegawa offerings and some people are put off by the bent leg of the clean skin fighter, so an option that is easier to build but with the same details might sell. I am interested to see what the kit looks like but won't be going out of my way to buy one. -Brett
  5. Great pics Peter thanks for sharing! With regard to preparing a resin kit the key is to just get started. I'd argue it is actually easier on a good resin kit than a Plastic kit as there is often fewer seam lines to clean up. To build confidence start by removing the pour stubs. Don't cheap out and try and use an exacto. You spent a few hundred dollars on that kit so spend a few more and get a Modeling saw and handle. Below are similar to what I use. The rest of what you need you probably already have or can be purchased cheaply. A course file, wet and dry sandpaper and sanding sticks. (BTW always cut and sand wet. It keeps the dust down and the water keeps the cutting surfaces clean and gives a better result.) That will get you started and you can build your confidence. If you like start a new build thread in the work shop section and keep us posted. That way if you have any questions we can chime in. So what are you waiting for? GO START THAT NEW THREAD! Because Mike put a lot of effort into designing, patterning and casting that kit. It deserves to be built. Cheers, Brett
  6. Thanks for that. Now I can inventory the patterns - Brett
  7. And Phalanx instructions as well... -Brett
  8. Does anyone have a copy of the Tomahawk instructions? Cheers, Brett
  9. Bugger! All of your pics are gone Mike. Any chance of uploading pics of the built kit again? - Brett
  10. "Ridden hard and put away wet" I'll bet the ground crew aren't impressed with Max after that effort. Look like he just tangles with Millia on board the SDF-1 Nice build of that kit. It looks much better than the Bandai promo pictures. - Brett
  11. Is this Moon Shooters scheme the one from Delta?
  12. Looking good Arbit - you are getting to be quite the expert at this.
  13. Wowsers! Is that the new Smooth-On rubber that they have been advertising lately? - Brett
  14. G'day Gabe. PM me the details of the part. I could probably make a mold next time I am at it and cast the part with left over resin. It's what I did with my missing VF-0B part. Brett
  15. Nice to see some more progress! I recently swapped to black basing myself and like the results so far.
  16. Hasegawa need to release those ground crew as a set...
  17. g'day Grunt, the kit measures 245mm (or 9.6 inches in old money) with the gun folded down as in the above photo. I din't have any comparison pictures yet but her are the hips and legs standing on my bench and surrounded by clutter. Cheers, Brett
  18. When Plastic Cretins and Moscato Hobby Models collaborate you know you are in for something very special! Well done John that kit is another master stroke - that looks fantastic and is a very unique subject. We are all very lucky - Cheers, Brett
  19. Well it was more than a few weeks but these are finally available! The 1/72 scale VF-1D masks are AUD$5.50 + flat $3 shipping out side of Australia The 1/48 scale TV style masks are AUD$7.50 + flat $3.00 shipping outside of Aus. Cheers, Brett
  20. Just a heads up that we finally got the kit cast and ready to ship! Kit Price is AUD$390 + Shipping from Australia. Cheers, Brett
  21. Definitely a recast. These have shown up on a South American macross page. Recently.
  22. Looking good Bolt! Ghost + FAST Packs = Cool. Mine went into primer not long after these pics were taken back in 2014 and hasn't progressed since...
