I make reproductions of Hasegawa decal sets. If R10 or HLJ can't help you, let me know.

I basically pulled an all-nighter to get this MG 2 strike custom done in time for the Con. It looks really good standing next to its older brother (the MG 1 strike on the right).

I make reproductions of the decals that come with that kit. They are $10 each, including shipping. If all you need is one or two decals, I'm sure we can work out something where it wouldn't cost you much. PM me. BTW: if the decal is just dented (not scratched), Grayson's right--you should be able to use it once you add a little Micro Sol during application to smooth out the creases.

I don't think the demand for this set was there so it was abandoned. Not abandoned, just put on hold for a little while. My life went to hell in a handbasket in November and only recently have I managed to get back on track in any meaningful sort of way with respect to Macross projects. With any luck, there will be sets available for purchase starting next month. I have to talk to Nick about it, though. There might even be some at the MW Con....

Hayato Kobayashi created the paint scheme and built the first model showcasing it. You can see pictures of it in the October 2001 issue of Model Graphix. There are links to scans of this issue on the main site.

Here you go: Blue Roses 002 Blue Roses 004

The decals should hold up just fine for many, many years. I have a few valks here with decals I designed and applied almost three years ago and they still look great. Gotta love ALPS printing....

Should be just a few more weeks before I can start selling these. I have to finish up a few long overdue custom projects first....

I haven't made the "Moon Act" decals available for general purchase. They were part of a commissioned order placed by a MW member and are only in 1/48 scale at this point. You can find application instructions for my other Minmay Guard sets here: http://dwhite.netwiz.net/app_guide/app_guide.html The decals you need to make a Minmay Guard Strike are only available in 1/48 scale. There just hasn't been enough demand for a 1/60 version to warrant the insane amount of time it would take to design it....

Tango Papa's stuff is expensive and you sometimes have to wait several weeks for a shipment. It's a one-man operation and his ordering system is a little clumsy. There are better options out there. You'll have a PM from me in about an hour, Jesse. Sorry for the delay....

I will try to create an "add on" sheet for those of you with recasts (myself included). I think my vintage GBP still has all of those stickers, so I can use them as references.

I know, this set is WAY overdue. Some of you have been asking me to make it for several years. Well, I finally got around to it. It was actually 90% done when all that personal stuff happened a few months ago. It feels good to be back on track and finishing projects.... I'm not ready to accept orders for these sets yet, so please don't ask. Any PMs regarding them will be ignored until I am ready to take orders (at least a few weeks). Price will be $5. Here's a sample pic. I can't do anything about the white backing paper, but you can still make out the white designs. As always, there will be sticker and decal versions.

The designs will essentially be a scaled up version of the Yamato 1/60 VF-1D set I've already made. It shouldn't take very long to rescale and produce these sets, which can be done as either stickers or decals--customer's choice. All I'll need is a few weeks notice before the kits are ready to ship. Same goes for the Elint and Ostrich kits, if those materialize. Here's a pic of the 1/60 VF-1D set so you can get some idea of what's coming:

You mean something like this? It took me about ten minutes in Photoshop. I would normally do it in Illustrator, but this quick and dirty method works almost as well. It also helps that I already have a high res scan of the decal sheet on file from another project. I've spent lots of time figuring how to how efficiently white-point (aka neutralize) the blue backing paper Hasegawa uses on their decal sheets while preserving white decals, as well as replacing colors in the manner that you need. The attached image is a non-printable, off-sized, low-res sample.

I've never made my 1/60 set available through TMP, valk exchange, or any other site. Orders for that particular set have always gone through me since there's not much demand for it. Shoot me a PM and we can talk price and wait time (it's not that bad right now).

It's good to be back. It was really painful to look at all of these unfinished projects for a few months and wonder why I had no passion or desire to work on them--especially considering how much Macross is a part of my life. Not a fun place to be. I've been spending some serious time in my "mad scientist laboratory" lately, cooking up decals and working on customs. It feels great.

Will do. It's going to be a little while, though. Perhaps a month or two, depending on how long it takes me to finish a few customs for some VERY patient MW members.

Reason #1: If you don't like the way a valk looks, all you have to do is transform it to a more pleasing mode or send it to a customizer.

Thanks for the kind words, guys. I almost forgot: 1/55 GBP stickers and decals are in the works. I finally decided to get off my lazy @ss and make the set since it doesn't look like Bandai is going to reissue the armor and there are plenty of naked recasts and originals out there.

I've received a bunch of PMs over the past few months from MW members asking where I've been, what the status is on various sticker and decal projects, if I still do customs, etc. For the most part, I've stayed off the MW radar and put all projects on hold since early November because I needed time to deal with some personal stuff. My life's finally back on track, though, and I have rediscovered my passion for all things Macross. I have a serious backlog of orders, so please bear with me while I play catch-up over the next month or two. I also had some ALPS printer issues recently which put a serious crimp in my getting certain orders completed, but those have FINALLY been resolved. FYI: I haven't forgotten about the JM sticker project or Cyclone sticker project, just in case anyone was worried. Those of you who have waited patiently for months for me to get to your orders, I cannot thank you enough. Your sympathy and unwavering support helped me get through the darker days. I owe all of you big time.

The sticker project didn't die, I've just been dealing with a ton of personal stuff and Macross took a far back seat for about two months. I'm getting back on track, though. That project is now slated for completion in early spring.

I was wondering how your 1J was going to turn out. Very unique. Nice work!

I'm dealing with some heavy personal stuff right now and my custom projects (and decal orders) have been deprioritized a bit as a result. I should have one project done in a few days and several more over the next few months.

Yeah, what he said. Seriously, though, I hope there are more of you out there who want these sets....

Yep, those are for the knees. Nick's tweaking them right now so they fit better.
