is the bigger one the Battle 25 or 7? was it released earlier and where to get one?

the sign on the back says __ K Models. there's an ebay seller named GK Models who sells MaK and Macross resin stuff. i wonder if it's the same.

i suppose the MQ in the foreground is the Mechacolle? would be cool if the Battle and Uraga were scaled to that.

definite WANTs!

From what I understand the model is a prototype 3D print, not on sell yet. Size unknown but looks small. 

The Chinese characters in the picture “舰匠” means "Ship Craftsman" so my guess is Ark Model. I just emailed them and maybe they will respond.

Looks like Battle 7 to me based on the details like the "shoulder pauldron" and legs.

Unfortunately I don't think they're to scale with each other. The Macross Elysion is supposed to be double the length of the Quarter so... around 900-1000m?

The Uragas are 550m so they'd be a little more than half the length of the Elysion. So judging by the pic, the Battle 7 is not in scale with either of the other two as well.

oh, that's the Elysion! i thought it was the Quarter.

so the Uraga is supposed to be 1/3 of the B7 but here looks like over 1/2, ie. too big

the Elysion is supposed to be 1-2 to 2/3 of the B7, but is way too small here.

I ask myself that same question when a valk is released for 190.00 and people sell it for 400.00 excluding the rest of us. Or create a limited preordered amount and exclude the rest of us. ;)
 

Wonderfest items are limited since they are created by private company or modelers that have to pay fees to show them at the festival and also pay fees to allow them to create limited amounts of the kit. So yes, limited. Artists may create limited runs out of the fest but is often frown upon just how people recast official released models.

I know, right! They should know that I want these kits too, and should make enough for the rest of us!:p

Short version, as I understand it, is that Wonfest is able to hand out day/weekend licenses for IP such as Macross.

It's a way for garage kit makers and other "grey" parts of the Japanese hobby world to create and sell products without getting sued.

I use a Phrozen Transform.   as for printing models...   I might put them up on shapeways, but they'd be kinda expensive in Fine detail plastic.... and I don't know if they'd hold together in the regular plastic.   I no longer print to sell myself, way too much of a hassle.
