    I get a chance, I'm going to have to try just "bare plastic" with simple panel lining. Especially since such a thing would make it a lot easier on my lungs!

    For anyone planning to get MB Barbatos, prepare to possibly spend more on an option set... https://www.taghobby.com/archives/899848

    @Bolt yeah… mine wants to play lego games… @Papa Rat indeed. I learned that from building gundams @Thom not that old… it is the plamax vf-1, which is 3 years old?

    Did some weathering on my YF-21. Battroid mode needs more work still so just fighter for now.

    We can understand this. Customizing a product you make is not too much to ask for the buyer to do. Thank you for what efforts you did make, though. All I really want are official adapters available for sale for the Arcadia SDF-1 (thanks for the 3D print download up until recently), as well as ThreeZero, and KitzConcept valks. Those adapters are really the only glaring things missing from your selection. All your standard releases are perfect unto themselves, and which I promote to all I see looking for stands. If anything, if you branched out to adding adapters for non-mecha items like cradles for things like Bandai SH Figuarts or SH Monsterarts figures, I'd buy even more stands as those have equally poor included options, if any. I'd frankly love to have a Monsterarts King Ghidorah in a flying pose on a Archi stand. 🤩

    Did Kawamori-san work on this? I swear that's not only his drawing style, but also his handwriting! The way he writes "へ" in "への字" in particular hasn't changed since he did the designs for M+'s YF-21!

    Seems like it’s been an eternity since they’ve had a live action show on D+ for any franchise. If I didn’t have things in a bundle, I’d definitely be dropping this service. Two or three shows a year and two new movies really isn’t enough content

    He’s definitely having some dirty thoughts about the Hulk

    I would appreciate it if Medicom would release some figures (especially the ones I have on preorder) instead of constantly announcing new product and reissues! *grumble grumble grumble* That said I probably want the blue Venom.

    Some more Plamax BTS, this time for the missile containers.

    Thank you to everyone who has kept this thread going, and I hope everyone is doing well. You guys have some amazing model kits in your collection! More than 25 years ago, Jung pioneered the idea to take a 1/55 VF-1S toy and turn them into a painted model kit complete with waterslide decals and customization. Latest update on my Macross Bandai "Jung" 1/55 VF-1S Roy Strike Valkyrie. Being faithfully and patiently restored by my friend Jose Gonzalez, who is also making several improvements! This is a collaboration between us, but his talents get due credit. But the best part, is that both Valkyries (Roy & Hikaru) will once again be completely transformable! It'll be more of a "Jose" custom now, with many upgrades like airbrushed black stripes instead of decals. 😉 But with the base and inspiration from Jung, who was a pioneer toy/model mashup builder. Going back more than 25 years ago on the Macross World forums. Jung's custom Valkyries are extremely limited in numbers and sold for a pretty penny! I own (5) Jung Valkyries, they're a special part of my collection. Jose is also working on my Macross Bandai "Jung" 1/55 VF-1S Hikaru Strike Valkyrie as well. I hope to share pictures of it soon. (Reason for Restoration: 25+ years since purchase, so there was some discoloration, decal damage, the original donor Jetfires used by Jung weren't great, brittle plastic, they couldn't transform due to Jung using hot glue/super glue, and various other problems caused by a friend.)

    ChristopherB replied to Skypoet's topic in Model kits

    Hello my friend, I hope you're doing well! I'm happy we worked something out so both of us have this kit. I'm especially glad you got the blue version and I have the white one. Honestly, you and I are just about the only people in the world who build these Experten kits. Let alone being lucky to own one, since they're so rare. So, besides you, me, Tom (Chicago) and Jonathan (Canada) no one really has any experience transforming them. But with that said, Experten does the 3D designs and sells a few to cover their costs. But, sometimes their Macross creations become toys. So, the way you transform the Experten kits, should be the exact way the 1/60 toy is done. Have you tried watching and pausing a YouTube transformation guide for this particular Valkyrie?

    Awesome build!!

    I still have an unfinished resin kit construction of a YF-22 battroid. I had always thought that the aftermarket gundam hands were not quite the right ones for it. I will check these out when they hit the market and hopefully finally get around to finishing the build I started 13 years ago. LOL!

    I've been looking forward to the Arcadia release, but if it doesn't happen. I'm content to own two transformable Experten 1/100 with and without the Super Booster as well as the Studio Half Eye version. Although my personal favorite is my extremely rare Experten 1/72 VF-5000G with Super Booster perfect transformable and sold at a single Japanese Winder Festival. I'm hoping to have it built and put on display soon. Not many people even know these toys even exist, let alone own all the versions. A sturdy 1/60 full variable from Arcadia will be awesome though

    It has been a while folks... The two sketches shown above was part of a dozen sketches that were being auctioned off at one point on Yahoo Japan roughly 8 or 9 years ago for a price that I recall was US$50K plus. I tried contacting the seller to see if the set could be broken up and sold but received a negative reply. It seems like someone is indeed selling them piece by piece.
