Lots of good SF designs. The Gunstar was also influential in my youth. Another one that stuck with me is the "Trimaxion Drone ship" from Flight of the Navigator. The effects used to make it were also groundbreaking in 1986—probably why it was so memorable: https://propstore.com/product/flight-of-the-navigator/trimaxion-drone-ship-model-with-replacement-animation-morphing-stair-sequence/ Not sure who designed it, but what appeared on screen was very inspired and inspiring. Found some images on the evolution of the design. Glad they went with the polished/brushed steel. It's truly a less-is-more when it comes to surface detailing.

I have a love hate for the robot Jox, crash and burn and other movies in that series. They’re fun trash and the robots are cool yet goofy at the same time and are the real stars of the films

Description from hobbysearchdidnt find any info about it opening to reveal a pilot

Up for preorder at the usual spots

Looks awesome.

Would be remiss to ignore one of the more contemporary influential mech designers in the west, Aaron Beck. Responsible for a decent chunk of Avatar, District 9, Call of Duty IW. Kind of the originator of the "tacticool" hard surface concept art trend of the 2010s.

What worries me is that this is a further sign that moving forward, Bandai's DX design team is just going to half-ass things more and more with the DX line. We already saw this to a certain extent with some of the design choices on the YF-21 and with the VF-17S, they have gone into full on lazy and cost saving mode.

No open cockpit but lots of cool details. I need like 3 of these! Looking forward to Mercy Rabbits artwork.

Last time I had something 3d printed (several years ago) I just googled for 3d printing services in my country/state/city etc.

Ohhh snap!

Oh yeah forgot about those it's been so long, lol

Thanks for the link

That is an old Yammie 1/48

Nice! Is the big one a painted DX?

Damn that’s nice. Thanks for the link.

amazon cancelled mine, i'm jealous. i have to give up and hope in 2027 they reprint some and there's no tariffs in a few years.

I know it's been a long, long time since you asked this question, but I've been working on a 3D printed replacement for the back plate and the arm hinges.

Yes, it’s the DYRL Movie version! Lots of photos of the new model on Hasegawa’s site: http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/product/35-2 Looks awesome!

That’s the one. Thanks for posting. 👍

Awesome. That is a must have book.

Almost makes me want to get a KC valk. Almost.

Feelin' the holiday blues? That's the ThreeZero on the left, for the sake of comparison.

I don’t know what it is (Nousjadeul-Ger?) - I figured someone here absolutely would.

Um… is this what I think it is!? I’m ready!
