3rd thread Already..!? It's time I start painting mine so i can post something...

So since is a bit too big for the 1/ 60 and even bigger for the 1/72 would anyone tell me how big/tall should Klan,Klan be for the 1/72 scale. Is it there a size spec on this Meltran?

I don't know if it is the flash but it seems the Luca version needs to be painted... That Hue of green seems a bit too 'pastel' to me...

N scale is 1:160 so is closest to /144..you'd probably want HO scale 1/87, close to 1/72 or O scale 1:48. if you can find the virtually disappeared ZO scale then you'll have it at 1:60. S gauge is at 1:64

Oh yeah baby, yeah...!!! A metal prop pylon...smart I think this model is straight forward and relatively simple to put together. I would think more people would jump on the Commanchero build wagon...

As far as I know any SSD over 12" is resin unless is made by a toy company. Non made of plastic or fiberglass that i know of. I am surprised to see them on ebay now a days. There's 2 of them right now and one of them under $300 for a 38"!? Their original cost was close to $500 that's why i didn't buy them back then, but economy sure has make it a bargain for some people like us... None of the SSD made today, for what i have seen, is as detailed as the 38"... it even has a little Darth Vader or R2-D2 head hidden in the trench like the original studio model does..

These are the only 2 pics that i have found that survived. The last run of this project was sold at the beginning of 2008. I have found that some people who orginally bought then back then were selling them not long ago; but i lost connections with them... Right now there's a couple of people who are producing a 17.5" model one is AMP and the other is the 14.5" scale solutions' ...

Well there was a well detailed 38" Super SD a year or so ago, that cost about $400. I have the 38" Randy cooper's ISD. Is an amazing kit which i can't built at this moment because of space.

Yes STP, I always thought of it to be the ONLY possible place to find if any, but Why not a ONLY, just for Star Wars model fans tread instead? every other Sci-fi forum has it.. Besides if you want to to go back to a specific post you might take a while to dig for it on another tread; Where it might be easier to recognize and find here. Nice Republc SD. is that ISD the old mpc one?

I was wondering why no one has created a model tread for the Star wars enthusiasts. There's a toy tread but my request for models in it was sabotaged right away. So I am creating this tread to see if there are more modelers like myself who enjoy this genre and show their creations, builds or kit-bashing from toys at any scale and make. I am starting with my last builds form Fantastic plastic resin kits at 1/72 scale, my favorite size, along a couple of toys from hallmark and titanium at a relative scale as well. then is the B and E wing at the same scale.

Many of us do not wish to register just to see a pic. In this case it would be better for you to show a link and also post a couple of pics of the subject.

I am wondering if you used Gundam parts to make the arms work?. I am surprised the tinier 1/8000 counterpart has more mobility on the arms that the 1/5000 and why Bandai just wouldn't make that bit more of an effort. Have to love the 80's.. Did you also mod the hip joints on it? I am not touching any of the models again, buy the 1/5000 wave or anything like that; I am waiting for the 1/2000 Yamato to come out and focus on detailing that one instead... it would be the next grail kit or toy for that matter.

To me it looks like the Quarter could be 1/2000 scale just like the Yamato SDF-1 I would like that to be a fact...

I recall I was the one of the first who suggested to make copies of the canopies. never got a reply.. ce la vie, ce la vie...

I'd like to know how does it compares in size to the 1/72 ebo ghost garage kit from Macross Plus..The frontier one seems to be smaller and more streamlined.

that's sweet. I haven't touch the YF 21 since last year. School is taking all of my time. I am hoping that for spring break i can finally tackle some of this stuff that's been sitting on my bench since the past Thanksgiving.

Oh this is pretty neat....and the crew members on that scale that are hard to find... How do they compare with the wave mobile staff ones?

I think the stair would be the least of the problems.. Almost any aircraft model has the mounting steps on its building parts that can be used as a mock up. The wheel axles, cabin angle, windows and little greebles behind it would pose a bigger challenge...

Also if you go to Starship modelers store site they sell plenty of pinups decals i found one that is similar to this vampire but is in a different angle..

That's the color I was talking about slightly light blue but not "gay" blue.. or in a blue-gray would be awesome as well...

Well Noyhauser was right. You can fit a second seat on the forward part of the bubbly canopy of the VF-22. Unfortunately I started working on the VF-21 which canopy is way too shallow to accommodate a second crew member. Eventually I pulled out my VF-22 and found out I could have done the mods anyways. Then I was torn on destroying the cockpit that was already built to modify the second crew member or leave the extended the fuselage which i have already started on.. So I ended up extending the fuselage and leaving the original canopy intact ( less work to be honest..). I will add those wave/kotobukiya glass eyes on the co-pilot openings... Now, the new observation is as it was mentioned before; should I shorten the tip of the fuselage since I added length to the middle part, or leave it long and compromise the possibly "structural strain" that extra length might cause in extreme combat ? Now it looks like the VF-4 or VF-2SS slanted fuselage I am also adding a mock-up front I might end up modifying on the model; so in the end the Battroid doesn't look...errr; well endowed..? Any suggestions?

THINNER !!!? why would anyone use thinner to clean a plastic model? You could use it lightly on resin, but plastic? I am glad you didn't melt your model down to a blob...

either one looks great. I like to know your future/food coloring ratio? do you dilute future or just straight out of the bottle?

I would also suggest to go somewhere else , If you can, to get this kit in your hands. I placed an order at hobbyfan for a kit that needed 10 people to have it casted; After emails that stated the item would arrive next month and 2 years later, I gave up waiting, Almost to the point of completely forgetting I put a down-payment in the first place...

How about using the hasegawa's Vf series ones..? just wondering Has anyone checked out if they are relatively in scale? or may be the gears from any other model? I always display aircrafts in flying mode though..
