hellohikaru Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 I heard the thing is actually large when you combine all 4 parts together. What is it like in terms of overall fit? I saw 2 sections of the factory set in a toy store but could not find the armoured and skull part. Wonder can this be replicated using Hasegawa 1/72 stuff.

B-52 GUNNER Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 I built a few of these and they are smaller than you think. The factory it's self is about 8 to 10 inches tall. If you can find the Revell R******H Factory, NOW THAT IS HUGE!!!! Sorry but I can't say the R word here. I built it back in 1987 and I wish I didn't let my mother clean my room that day. Bad memories. Scot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellohikaru Posted September 22, 2003 Author Share Posted September 22, 2003 Scot 8-10"! that is not bad. I guess it must be at least 24" wide. I will definitely try look up the Revell R******h factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoryHolmes Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Just how big is the Revel kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gundamhead Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 The little 1/170 factory pictured here is only 4.75" tall by 2.75" wide. Builds into a tiny, but decent little factory diorama. The 4 factory kits could be combined to make a longer section of factory like the one shown. The old Revell Robotech kit is a repacked Imai 1/100 Macross Factory. It was 8.5" tall by 12" wide and came with 2 sections, vehicles and 1/100 figures, a 1/100 Armored VF Battroid and a 1/100 Tomahawk. There was also a third section made that contained only the factory, vehicles, and figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
007-vf1 Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 I been trying to get some of those myself. I was thinking on a diorama for the 1/200 or 1/44's that are so much better looking. With a little bit of fixing this factory might look awesome. On some hobby shops they sell styrene already pre cut on the shape of beams and racks that will make the replication a breeze.

B-52 GUNNER Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 The Revell kit if I remember was about 12 inches tall. I could be wrong but it was very large. If you find one on Ebay it is very expensive and you'll have to fight at the last minute to out bid the others. I'm slowly collecting the models I had when I was a kid and someday the factory WILL BE MINE!!! Scot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gundamhead Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 That's their actual size that i measured from my kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-52 GUNNER Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 OK, I'm wrong. Sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gundamhead Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Actually, you are right about the length of each section being 12", just not the height. If you get the Revell or Imai big factory models (Huge boxes) you wind up with a 8.5" tall, 24" (2 12" sections) length of factory, 1/100 people, vehicles, 1/100 Armored Valkyrie Battroid, and a 1/100 Tomahawk. It is big! The last Revell Factory I saw went for about $165 or so on Ebay. The original Imai was around $200. Every now and then you may see the 3rd section with only 1 factory section (12", half the people, and half the vehicles for around) $100. There's pics of the original kits in the model section of this site on the main page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
