It is a ThreeZero.

I had the same amnesia about them too in the film, but they play a huge roll appearing often. Spoiler….Roy’s death scene

I was being sarcastic, but then I sometimes have trouble getting that right...😁 I like it and it's looking good. And if your wife doesn't understand, just wait until it's been set up in the bedroom.

I'll pass on this one due to tarriff BS and the fact I don't even remember seeing that in DYRL. Was it on screen for more than .03 seconds? It's been a looooong time since I watched it. I remember the TV version fairly well..

Thanks Gang! @nightmareB4macross not too bad over all. I found that the sensor packs on the arms did not line up very well and I rebuilt them. I’ll try to get some photos to show comparison. @Urashiman overall it is a really great kit and one of my favourite designs! I have plans for 1 more lol. @Bolt thanks buddy, I’m using my stencils over the black primer to make the subtle tonal variation.

@tekering - wow!! You're a madman! I love it! In my next life I would love to design and build architectural models. Will it be lit up from inside?

I've never found the N-Ger (oof, that abbreviation is... ) super attractive, but as they tend to do, Hasegawa have turned out a very nice-looking model from the artwork. That backpack especially looks very nice.

Either that or it was a drunken Seinfeld moment. Whyyyyy are real robots sooo big? It’s not like they’re fighting kaijus or anything…..they’re not super robots anymore……🥴 personally I’ve always thought votoms were a rather perfect size. Not big enough to end up easy targets and just big enough to stomp a dude

That’s what I was thinking. Just hoping my translator works, cause I’m really interested in the process from back in the pre computer days for sci fi kits, especially at the high level of cool with those Imai kits

That crazy family, always getting frozen and woken up years later

I just had a crazy thought:

*Imagines Tekering looking in a window, and some lady who just got out of the shower screaming her head off and running for dear life!*

My personal belief is that at some point, someone criticized having giant robots in anime series and it hit Kawamori-san badly (either Macross or something else he was working on). After that (one or perhaps multiple incidents), he began developing in-story reasons why they are necessary. JMO.

Thank you

Just a couple of quick pics in fighter

I’d love to see that one, also wouldn’t mind if Bandai did it for their hg series

Sprue shots already appearing.

Even more Plamax BTS!

Ah ... The VE-1 Elintseeker - I remember building mine like yesterday. It is a really rewarding build. I had everything down in sections, as the Hasegawa kit would allow it to be build. And then when everything came together, it was like a beautiful marriage. Have fun man, this is such a nice kit

Wait a minute ... is that a kit or do you scratch build this? Either way that is a crazy project hahaha XD

That looks awesome. The DYRL Nousjadeul-Ger is probably my favorite Zentradi mecha design. I don't normally buy and build model kits these days, but in lieu of any Nousjadeul-Ger toy, I'm definitely gonna get this kit.

It certainly would. A heavy matte coating is the only way to ensure stickers stay put (or look halfway-decent). 😉 The condo's starting to take shape... I need to rely on the force of gravity to hold these acrylic panels together until they're securely bonded, so the orientation (be it face-down or upside-down) is temporarily dictated by distribution of weight... ...and I need to make use of whatever's on-hand heavy enough (like the bicycle) to support the walls, at least until the glue starts to set. I'm glad somebody thinks so. My wife thinks I'm certifiable, spending hundreds of dollars on a model that's too big to assemble (much less display) in the house. 😅

Oh man - that happens when you type up stuff when tired, and on phone using sausage fingers. Hahaha What I meant to say was, that the PLAMAX stickers came off after a night, like peeling themselves off on the vertical stabilizers and the little fins on the engine bays. So I was using the water slide decals for these parts instead. @tekering Yeah, I have the super strong stuff. But for stickers (not water slide decals) it would just dilute and dissolve the adhesive of the stickers. @derex3592 Yeah, right? I believe that was the intention from PLAMAX. The kit comes in different colors, so it is more of an entry grade kit that doesn't need much painting. As I've said a like two years ago. The PLAMAX VF-1 is a really nice kit and I would recommend it to anyone.

Hasegawa in playing a blinder atm. At the risk of wish listing, the Zentradi power armour from Macross Plus’s would be amazing.
