Yes, you can place orders with me directly.

Many of you have been wondering if I will be creating decals and stickers for the 1/48 GBP. The short answer is yes, and they should be ready in about two weeks. My new job has kept me extraordinarily busy for the past two months, so all things Macross have suffered, and as a result my decal project timelines have been extended. TMP Anime will be distributing the standard decal versions and I will take sticker orders myself. If you need anything custom on your set, including what I talk about below, I will handle those orders as well. Price estimate is $20 since the designs will take up an entire sheet of decal or sticker paper. I will be including the option of a "pin-up" girl design (think WWII bomber art) that you can apply to the leg of your GBP armor. There will be a catalog of at least a dozen to choose from (based on designs from old Macross hobby books) that I will post online when I am ready to take orders. Each design will cost extra, but not much (about $1, but don't quote me on that yet). Many thanks to Graham for the GBP sticker and pin-up girl scans. Please do not contact me about ordering right now. I will post a thread in the For Sale forum when I am ready to take orders. Thank you for your patience.

Of course.

I gave up trying to figure out the whole Millia/Miria/Myria/Miriya issue long ago when it came to making decals and stickers. Hasegawa does one thing, Yamato another, Bandai yet another.... I tend to stick to the manufacturer's choice for the sake of my own sanity.... You're right, though. In the series there's that one scene where Max is wearing an apron with both of their names on it and hers is spelled Millia. Oh well.

After looking at the Hasegawa Virgin Road decal sheet, I've decided that the best thing to do is to offer those decals/stickers as an option set for $3.25. The only decals needed in addition to the ones already on the 1D sheet are the "Just Married" markings and grey versions of the kite symbols and intake chevrons. Here's a sample pic. White markings have a grey background so you can see them. There's no special numerical designation for this valk, at least not according to Hasegawa. That makes sense since the valk is supposed to be Max's 1J....

Easily done. It's just a slightly modified version of the Max/Myria 1J set I currently have. I didn't think anyone was interested in that. PM me if you'd like me to make it. -Devin

I can print either. Buyer's choice.

Now that the 1D conversion kits are starting to ship, I'd like to know how many people would like the decals I designed for them so I can order enough paper and ink to meet demand. Price is $10 per set, shipping included. Please PM me and I will reply with payment details and ETA. I will add names to the interest list as quickly as possible. The designs can be printed as waterslide decals or stickers. hirohawa x1 1 VF-1 2NV x1 JoLe727 x1 wickedpr1nce x1 Die, Alien Scum! x3 Sephiroth x1 Mechamaniac x1 4everNewbie x1 Vermillion One x2

I decided not to include the chestplate trapezoids on the decal sheet for two reasons. The first, as you point out, is that their actual size is an unknown quantity at present. Second, and more importantly, those sorts of details should really be painted on if at all possible. It looks like there will be great panel lines, which makes masking so much easier. I can add the trapezoids for those who are interested, but not until I have a conversion kit to work with.

Okay, the decal set for this conversion kit is finally done. Below is a sample pic. Price will be $10, shipping included. I'll start taking orders once the kits are ready to ship.

The part swap is the least of what needs to happen. The 1D has a different color scheme than every valk Yamato has released in the 1/48 line. You're looking at a complete repaint, which often requires some additional part modifications to eliminate possible paint scraping. I've started a topic in the For Sale forum regarding 1D customizations. Price is $250. You provide the valk and conversion parts, I provide everything else (including return shipping).

Just in case anyone was wondering, I still plan on making decal sets to complement the conversion kit. Price shouldn't exceed $10 and they'll be ready to go when the kits become available.

The best thing to do, if you're debating between the content of our sets, is to look at the preview pics posted in the store section of tmpanime.com. We took different approaches in terms of content. I went with a Hasegawa-inspired design theme while Takatoys tends to stay closer to what Yamato offers on the original sticker sheets. Both styles seem to keep people around here pretty happy. Please feel free to check out my entire catalog. I have almost 70 sets available now. Whew! Also, please PM me if you have any specific questions.

Just a quick reminder that I will stop taking orders on Friday, September 9. After that, it will likely be at least a few months before I am ready to take more orders.

The standard decal version is $10.99 at tmpanime.com. You can follow the link in my last post to find out more.

Turns out TMP is willing to bundle this decal set with the VF-1A for those who are interested. You end up saving a little on the decals that way. Tamim mentioned that if you've already preordered a valk and want the decals, submit a separate order for the decals and he will only charge you the discounted bundled price when everything's ready to ship. Not too shabby.... VF-1A decals at TMP VF-1A valk/decal bundle

I just finished up designing the following set of decals for the upcoming 1/48 CF release. It will include several lines of extra numbers so you're not stuck with the standard "117" designation. TMP will be carrying this set in its standard decal form. If you want a custom decal version (different pilot name, etc.) or the sticker version, please PM me. All of my other sets are still available, too. I've been getting a lot of requests lately so I decided to streamline the process with one of my old skool "general offerings."

I have them on my web site, but my server is doing something funky, so here are they are. Each image is 300dpi and sized to print on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

I've had this project in the works for quite some time. What I've been missing are good quality scans of the originals to work with. If anyone can help, please PM me and I'll start the repro process.

I have the logo and text in Illustrator, which can be scaled to any size and will print cleanly. Best of all, the files are very small.

Here's the YF-21. I don't have anything for the VF-11 or FAST packs....

This "Marking & Painting Guide" from the Hasegawa kit should help you. It should print out fairly well.

Usually around $10 a set, depending on the size of the original sheet. Whats the price? 315061[/snapback]

I've been meaning to put together a step-by-step decal production guide for over three years now. There are not enough hours in the day, though.... I've pretty much tried every home-brewed method imaginable, including taking my designs to Kinko's. Each one has positives and negatives when it comes to cost, ease of production, print quality, and durability. I might approach Shawn or Graham about adding a decal production "how to" section to the main site. That is, once I have something written....
