    Sorry to hear that @pengbuzz! Hopefully the housing situation straightens out for you. Really hoping things start breaking your way!

    This is the TOS Enterprise. I no longer have the ability to mold new ones, as my heat gun died some time back and finances are so tight now (thanks to tariffs and such) that buying even model cement is impossible. No, I have no materials for that; all I have now is what is on hand. We're now in "survival mode". Once I run out of supplies, my modeling is over. We just got word today that we may not even have a place to live in the months to come. It's that bad. Anyways, this is going on indefinite hiatus, and possibly disposal, as we now need to make some hard choices. Sorry to bother everyone.

    So I was transforming one of these last night and I had a bit of a revelation: I think I know why Bandai went with the slip-fit vertical pegs (and only the vertical pegs) for the arms in fighter mode. I think it's so you can drop the arms down and attach/remove the gun pod without having to move anything else (backpack/legs). Maybe this was already figured out, or stated directly by Bandai, but it's first time I've realized it. You can kind of do this with something like the yamcadia 1/60s, but I feel like you have to fiddle with the legs more to get the arms undone. Does it make it the "correct" design choice? Probably not, but at least I think I understand the logic behind it, finally. I will say, it was kind of nice to be able to easily attach the gun pod when I realized I had forgotten to. Probably not worth the other sacrifice to overall rigidity that they made, though.

    I'm thinking it was designed with close quarters combat in mind, for dense urban environments. I don't know if we ever really see it used that way, but it makes sense.

    Agree, as it's keeping with what Anna told Dutch and Co.- it returns and hunts throughout generations. The fact that humans historically have spent far more efforts towards advancing their abilities to kill each other than any other concern (except perhaps the advancement of wealth) would undoubtedly offer irresistible opportunities for hunting to such a creature as the Predator. Looking forward to this.

    Wow. That is so cool! The people in the delivery truck are so screwed..

    Looking impressive! Looks like Federation Models is out of stock on 22" bussard replacements. Other than getting another kit, or plunge-molding a replacement... Is this going to be TOS Enterprise, or can it be a sister ship? That would allow some leeway in changing the style of bussards to something you could scratch together as a pair. If it is to be Enterprise, do I recall correctly that you did some molding in the past? If so, would it be possible for you to make a mold of the one you have? And of course, it follows if you have clear resin, or could get some from a craft store like Michaels? Thom

    I usually just filter to see what the sold prices are. Gives a pretty good gauge of a real selling price.

    The Spartan was always an oddball choice in the Macross Universe. You get all these jet-jockeys and Phalanx and Defenders shooting and lobbing missiles from afar, but then this conversation surely happened in some back office of OTM Destroid research.... 'You know what I want to do Joe? I want to PUNCH a Regult, Right in the freaking mouth. Maybe even bash it's head in with a club" "Geez Jerry, maybe you should take some time off, go on vacation, clear your head a little. I hear Ataria Island is taking tourists again" Jerry walks away, shaking his head, "right in the freaking mouth" heard just under his breath....

    Asking prices on eBay should be ignored. Those listings stay around forever because they never sell. Listings for reasonable prices sell quickly, so you never see them. As a result, people only see the high prices and assume they must be what those items are worth, when the opposite is true.

    Captain's Log: Thursday, May 22nd, 2025 You wouldn't think so by looking at the pics of this latest update, but the masters are close to complete! Because I opted to do more fabrication and fewer beauty shots, this update will be shorter than usual. Pics 64-67 show the grueling puttying process I use to mate two surfaces together perfectly, and the fairing on the bottom of the missile pods has been a tough subject, but alas, the worst is done! Once all the puttied parts are sanded, I reckon I will have about a week's worth of super-detailing, and then the masters will be done! Pic 68 shows the first step in the detailing process (in this case the thruster nozzle) and I was just getting warmed-up! Be advised that I may skip next week's update to finish all the patterns and prime them. I'm pretty confident it will be worth the wait. 63.HEIC 64.HEIC 65.HEIC 66.HEIC 67.HEIC 68.HEIC

    I think is a bit soon to get a proper review. Most of the toy reviewers in YT that get their hands on a Macross toy just for the likes just make a unboxing with some video takes with the birds displayed on a stand. It is going to take some time to get a review from some one like Wotafa or Jenius that do actually detailed reviews.

    w.o.w. I've been too close to the source. I thought the chin could have made a T a long time ago but could never see the A until today thank you!!!! lol M red A blue T green

    Can a copy be made?
  24. Hiriyu
    Neat! Looking at the image closely, it appears that the 1J's visor constitutes the "A", and the chin makes up the "T" to spell out MAT vertically. Fantastic post, and grats on completion of the series! Thanks for sharing them here.

    i'm surprised no reviews are out. i guess no one cares about this.
  26. MKT
    Thats great, at least makes it easier to differentiate between this and the original, problematic issue.

    Box looks exactly the same BUT it doesn't have the flip top lid any more.
