  1. Past hour
  2. Yeah, displayed at the 2011 Shizuoka Hobby Show. Nor the hindsight to know which variants would prove most valuable, amiright? 😉
  3. They did indeed. No structural reinforcement. 🤨 Well-noted, my friend. Two of the tips have been buried 30cm in the dirt for the past fifteen years. 😅 I don't think so... 🤔
  4. 3Zero can only produce valks from Macross TV... what you can wish for is the Alaska Base green 1A that even Yamato during their heyday weren't able to get to (there was a prototype if I'm not mistaken). In hindsight, yeah I'm kicking myself . but to be fair that was during a time when Yamato were churning out valks left and right from both MacTV and DYRL, and I didn't have as much cab space and disposable income back then as I do now.
  5. You mean this one? It's a shame we've only ever gotten a Korean bootleg in this color scheme. Come to think of it, it might look nice in brown, too. ☺️
  6. I'm in Japan for work travel. The main index page (arcadia.ac) jumps you to a spammy adult chat site. If I go to a specific URL (https://arcadia.ac/index.php/products/detail/378), it loads only the text content with broken images and missing css
  7. Beautiful composition & execution. I would love to see more shots of the models.
  8. I hear it’s just so bad it’s just bad. So bad it’s good is more like a Jurassic Park sequel or something. I hear this movie is just a dude in a chair
  9. I have my doubts about those really ever entering combat. It’s probably gonna be much cheaper to throw in a drone or a foot soldier and if they need anything bigger, they’ll probably just easily put it on a vehicle. Modern infantry can already use anti armor weapons and anything bigger would also be bulkier making even a dude with an exo suit an easy target that’s also extremely expensive
  10. Today
  11. Yeah, DHL's service depends on whether they decide your region is worth supporting as an actual service area. That's why they've been a disaster so many times for me. I live somewhere "too remote" for them to support fully, so they only send things my way via a third-party carrier hand-off that generally results in a complete loss of tracking and communication regarding my packages.
  12. I understood the 403 Error to be IP blocking of foreign access. Bandai does the same. If someone has a Japanese-based proxy or VPN and cannot see it, that's another story.
  13. I doubt I could sleep having done that. I don't sleep already while looking to own my first.
  14. It's funny, when I think of the DYRL 1A, I always imagine my dream green 1J, and my fingers follow. The slip has happened before, and surely will again. 😄 But, a DYRL green one would be enough...for now.
  15. If they handed the package to local carrier then I assume the practice is the same. Actually I used DHL once and they're different in a way that they handled everything even local delivery. Maybe that's better option, assuming your local DHL service is not as bad as other local delivery service that is.
  16. I like a good WotW retelling, but reports at the onset were that this was a massive stinker so I stayed away. Someday curiosity may get the better of me, and I may just watch it to see just how bad it truly is. I've watched some sci-fi and horror clunkers in my time so I may suffer it out of boredom, curiosity, or both. Not today, though.
  17. for Blade Runner fan - a look at studio model building
  18. Talking about bad packing jobs... did they just wrap it in plastic? Or did they at least add an outer cardboard shell over the plastic wrap to protect the sides? Good luck! Incidentally, I couldn't help but notice the discolouration on parts of the metal framework. Is it rust? I hope its not something that will leech into and discolour anything you attach to it! Are those dim-able LEDs? I wonder if it's possible (or even worth the effort!) to add a controller to give it a dawn→day→dusk→night↩ lighting effect.
  19. Eh... back when the OG Mobile Suit Gundam series was made real robot tropes had yet to be codified so it did have some leftover elements of "super-ness" to it. That said, most of the traits that are now said to be emblematic of super robots are generally absent from Gundam. The exceptions being, of course, those Gundam installments that unapologetically cross that line into super robot-ness like SD Gundam and Mobile Fighter G Gundam. A "super prototype" and a "super robot" are two different things... though their key distinction is usually whether they're handled like a practical weapon or a superhero.
  20. Pengbuzz, that is my new head canon!!😁 It looks like it is in good hands now, @tekering. Just watch out for clowns in Godzilla suits! Some great progress @Chas!
  21. Very interesting...
  22. Probably the closest we'll get to classic biped mecha IRL are uparmoured exoskeletons so you can have a soldier carry heavier weapons with ease.
  23. Yeah, there’s been a few resin ones, but this will be the first plastic one. I do like the resin interpretations, but the new hasegawa one is more like the line art and supposedly has some details from original sketches
  24. Aside from a 1D trainer, I hope 3Zero makes their own 1D Virgin Road... still regret selling the one I got in HK a long time ago.
