Does anyone know about the Animedia issue. From 1983. That came with cards. I did bought another set. That's still attached to the cards to the booklet. Includes Macross, Catseye, Mospeada, and Orguss.

Whats Lying on your Workbench MK IV
nightmareB4macross replied to Urashiman's topic in The Workshop!
Working on the thighs. Story paint is really helping me see how this project is progressing. i am really happy with this. -
Texture added and all primed up for some brush painting. This is the 💩stage of this build. Now I just need to fix a few seam shadow areas and the loose hip joints. The floppy legs can’t support the weight of the backpack jet thing. If not supported by a nearby bottle of loctite, our friend Bozune does a complete back bend or face plant. Oof!

I'll keep my 2 in the private warehouse at Yoyakunow. Not sure when I'll ship them and I don't want to know how ridiculous the shipping cost might be.

The tampo stripes are definitely mis-aligned on purpose, although it looks like the two halves that should line up aren't quite aligned anyhow? I think that's a separate issue though. Judging by the translation, and my experience with my bum hip, I think Bandai borked the casting on the right hip. It didn't work correctly, the joint is far too stiff compared with the left, and the parts do not like to line up. The lower part tinted pale blue is causing issues. Though.. it's hard to tell if he knows what he's talking about. I think the "scratch" he's pointing to is an intentional detail on both sides, so I'm not sure what he's actually trying to indicate. Also, to refresh my memory, I checked on my first HMR Fire Valk, and opened the second one I got. The second one seems to have none of the hip issues my first one did, so it's inconsistent at least.

I don't know... Gorrila's picture looks like the panels were transformed properly. The edge of the toy looks pretty straight and the stripe matches the front portion of the plane. Looking at the box art, I think the stripe doesn't line up on purpose?
-
Gotcha, yeah, that's definitely a problem spot. The hips really just do not fit well, unfortunately. Interestingly, it's the same hip as the one that broke on my Fire Valk. Going to have to just chalk it up to Bandai borking the production on these somehow.

That's not a tampo problem, that's a transformation problem. He didn't align the panels so the stripes actually match.
