I am forcing all members to change their passwords...2 re-uses in 1 week is just too much Sorry for the troubles...hopefully this clears out old potential account targets Let me know if you have problems...asssuming you can reset and log back in 😛 Oh man...this blows Shawn

This is the 2nd time we've had someone use an old/reused password on the boards to post in the sales section maliciously. I suggest everyone change their passwords immedietely...I might try to see if I can do a forum wide force for everyone. Again PLEASE don't REUSE passwords from other sites...once one site is compromised, if you use that password somewhere else, they've can get in here (or someplace much more important than a robot forum!!)

Its been postponed until May 31st...guess they are adding all sorts of new cool things! (they still haven't contact me to help out! LOL)

Wow.... So at what point in our lives did we just say 'oh heck...I can make that rea-life kit look exactly like a painting'? Or a cel? I mean how did we all collectively just level up from 'weathered' to this all of a sudden? I find it absolutely insane.

ok...can you try it now?

I've had two 1/2000 variations (the original HDP and the Sankyo HDP special edition) pass through my hands for another crazy collector here over the years...they are gigantic and completely worth it if you ever find one. Way too much for my wallet though! The Sankyo one comes pre-assembled which is a bonus

I had no idea you couldn't...could you send me an example?

Good God! WTH!!??? Unbelievable.

This and the Hobby Japan Vintage Vol 7 coming out in 10 days should make a great month for Macross Modeling fans!

ordered! sweet!

Wow...having Mach 3/Firefox video game flashbacks! That was cool!!!

That is definitely legit...and wow...did not recall it was at Jafcon too, but makes sense Club-M would be there too...nice find!! When the models page was done for that, we had only see the WF versions in the field...that is super rare Buy!

Gwyn posted another update today-some pictures of the inside. Horrible. https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-beloved-creator-recover-from-tragic-fire?viewupdates=1&rcid=r01-164722746171-c5fcacf83b5b4cdd If you do have the capability to help out with anything, please do. Understand things are rough right now. S

I think 1/72 scale was always great for OLDER Macross kits..like from Imai, when they used larger/simpler parts. When Hasegawa actually made them with the correct amount of detail, the complexity went off the scales...the design was amazing,but the parts are just so damn small, they became too frustrating for me. The 1/48 scale removes all the stress on assembling the 1/72s...you have room to BREATHE. There is also an element of my old man eyes being able to see where the parts go too LOL That is a beautiful build, can't wait to see more from you!!

Yep-#1 is my favorite too!

Wow-those are awesome, great work! Its like watching the opening of the Fox intro for Star Wars!

If it helps...if you have a Buyee proxy account, you can order vol 3-7 here...you simply add to cart, then at the cart page it switches you to the buyee account order page. https://honto.jp/netstore/search_10ホビージャパン ヴィンテージ .html?srchf=1&tbty=1 They are pretty cool magazines...definitely focus on the 'vintage' (god we are OLD) stuff. I just point my phone at the cool stuff and use google image translate. Vol #4 had some cool Macross stuff-including some never seen before mockup/rough drawings of what was given to Takani to do the box art. Hoping the upcoming volume continues to show more of these unseen items.

Another Macross featured HJV coming end of this month-get your orders in. https://honto.jp/netstore/pd-book_31522857.html https://www.hlj.com/hobby-japan-vintage-vol-7-hbj62787 This is a Japanese-language book or magazine about science-fiction subjects related to anime and/or modeling. This issue of "Hobby Japan Vintage" introduces and thoroughly explains the plastic models produced for "Super Dimension Fortress Macross," "Super Dimension Century Orguss," and "Super Dimension Cavalry Southern cross." The transition of the planning and design styles is explored with comparisons and interviews about products from Arii, Imai, Nichimo and LS, all of which were manufacturing plastic models from these series starting in 1980. Comparisons between the anime and how each company's model kits interpreted the animation image will also be discussed.

On a side note...seeing the Hasegawa Zentradi alphabet posted above again I remembered seeing it on the himetal regult box recently...and yup...says Regult 😛

Thanks to everyone who has donated! Adrian posted an updated, a message from Kawamori. Shawn
