Monthly Magex Rogue update: delayed till November…

I think that would be a great addition. I am unfamiliar with this specific product but I have a few Mr color crystal colors that add a really nice effect. I think I have a nice blue one that may elevate this build a little. Lots of beetle carapaces have that jewel like shimmer. Good call. I guess I’m now leaning towards a more high gloss for the armor parts and flat for the joints, nooks and crannies. Thanks so much for the suggestion. 👍 This one s what the blue crystal color looks like over dark lacquer paint. This is from Wave co. FFS kit

Thinking about your project here (how bug-like it looks), have you considered an iridescent top coat on it? I saw this online and wanted to know your thoughts: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Pouring-Masters-Professional-Acrylic-Pearlescent-Mixing-Effects-Medium-8-oz-Bottle-Create-Pearl-Iridescent-Metallic-Effects-Improve-Flow-Consistency/2340932760?classType=REGULAR&adsRedirect=true It says it can be used as a topcoat to add an iridescent effect to paint (clear, just iridescent). I thought that maybe it would help it look more alien, but you might not want to go that route. Just a suggestion.

Hi, recently I've been inspired by @PixelatedShinobi with his translation of the Macross Frontier novels to try to do the same with Macross The Ride. However, I haven’t been able to find a digital version anywhere. Looked at Book Walker were the rest of the novels are and nothing, perhaps because the story was published by Dengeki Hobby. I also searched in Japanese and also nothing, I know the visual guides were scanned but not the novels themselves. I know it was compiled in two volumes but if I can get my hands on a digital release It would be more practical. Does anyone know where I could find the novels? I really enjoyed Ukyō Kodachi’s writing style on Gubaba’s translation of the first Delta volume and honestly I want more. Hope you gys can help me out.

$116 USD , "Buy it Now"

Huh, looks 2100 Yen more expensive from Amazon vs HLJ but I'm sure there are shipping considerations that might even it all out.... though let's not talk about shipping and hope things get better! -
This is the Frankenstein that I’m looking forward to. Odd that there seems to be a few upcoming including a weird Bonnie and Clyde version

I hated the first one, but I’m curious to see how the kid survives without insulin

Just placed my order from HLJ too. This is the first valkyrie order I have done in over a year. I am quite excited... I love the VF-17 design.... much more so than the Fire Valkyrie (I really hate the Fire Valkyrie's lips in particular). Now if only they would release a transformable Battle 7, along with a City 7 for it to dock to. Update: I just placed an Amazon Japan order.... I think it is slightly cheaper there. Now I will go cancel my HLJ order.... -
First layers of brushes painting lacquers are down and looking rough. Going to do another thin layer all around then it’s time for clean up, some panel lines “I guess I’ll call them that”, flat top coat and weathering etc… been super busy lately so its taking forever to get this done.

Huh, seems you're right. The specs sheet even reflect that, with the 17 being shorter (length and height) and lighter than the 171. It certainly doesn't look like the smaller craft, though, and it being classed as a heavy fighter/bomber whereas the 171 is a general purpose fighter doesn't help, either. Well, not THAT drastic a difference, but certainly to my eyes the 171 looks pretty clearly downsized from the 17. I suppose I just inferred wrongly from the lore that "downgrade" and "cost effective" both meant smaller... because again, and I hate to emphasize it, but the 171 looks slimmer and smaller than the 17. Either way, I still don't like the decision. I agree that I'd be more amenable to it being a "VF-171 Diamond Force colors" or whatever instead. Also, apparently the head sculpt is significantly inaccurate anyway? The top of the head retains a glaring pointed detail carried over from the 171 when all the 17S artwork is very obviously not so.

Done and done. This is the 31A straight out of Delta Scramble with the official textures, I haven't touched anything up on it. It's a bit lighter than the Navy colors, which makes the panel lines stand out and hides the decals a bit. Also interesting is that the shadow on the backside of the tail fin is textured on, not cast by the lights in the model space.

we all survived zentradi bombardment since we are posting here... so where did you end up in our current year. 2025: Megaroad-13 colonizes planet Varauta 2027: Windermereans first encountered humans upon the Megaroad-04's discovery of their planet. Diplomatic relations were established on terms which some Windermereans strongly resented. 2030: (September) new Macross class transports or New Macross-class are launched. 2031: the 21st colonial expedition, Macross Galaxy, launched from planet Eden. Macross Galaxy fleet is also said to have been composed of "9th Large-scale emigration fleet, the 51st Super-Long-Distance colonization fleet and the 21st New Macross Class Emigration Fleet". Lead ship: Macross Galaxy aka Macross 21 -
Anyone interested in a new VF-0D Premium finish valk? Selling my mine, just scroll down to see the photos!

I am displaying my DX VF-1s in multiple ModuSpace monos, so the footprint is fairly large per shelf. I use the larger arms based on the type of pose that I want, of course it is up to the individual. Here is an example of the large arm on the ArchiPro Stand and this is not near the limit of the stand. MB

I saw these in tag hobby a couple days ago and I kinda thought they were just fixed pose figures with a slight option change here and there like the head or weapons. I didn’t know it was a kit. Still looks fixed pose, but cool looking. I would love to have this design as an hg kit though

Does it actually look better with the longer arms? I would of thought the short arm was the best height for it in fighter mode.
-
Same. Used your affiliate link. Not sure how that works or how trustworthy companies are regarding referral rewards. This was an immediate buy for me. I was lucky enough to pick up the 1/65 version 6-7 years ago off Mandarake; it's such a stupid-fun toy. Highly recommended.
-
Honestly, I got one, but I don't know if I want to keep it due to all the aformentioned accuracy issues. At the very least, is it safe to assume they'd fix the QC and design issues of the 171?
-
Completely forgot about this one. VF-17 still available on HLJ as of this writing. A PO that doesn't instantly sell out must keep the Bandai execs up at night.
