I don't have the funds... but I bought three anyway! I couldn't resist!

Very cool. I just ordered three sets...

Did I already say that I'm interested too...

I'd say it's looking really good. As for tearing off the sprue, I've taken to cutting it just short of the piece, leaving some sprue on which is then gently sanded down. And have you seen this thread yet? - http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=30923 My Valk has been on hold for a while, and now I'm glad. I can't wait to add that to mine!

No wonder I stopped building my Valk so long ago!! You are my Fracking God!! Give me my fix.

Just as the tag line says! They slashed the price by forty percent, so now its just about thirty bucks! I just ordered two... http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN958497

That's inspiring. I just started doing mine, airbrushing mostly on the sprue right now before assembly. Seeing how she'll look is a great help. Thanks. Thom

Okay, I don't have a girlfriend. I must live vicariously through all of you - for now. Post some pics - with said girlfriends permission mind you - beside those whom they most resemble. Either in looks or personality. Then we can vote on who is the most similar. Dressed in similar attire would be most helpful - and in the case of those Nanase or Klan lookalikes, most anticipated!!

Interested...

Despite his dying, his death scene was pretty great - and Klan (or Klang?) going vengeful was absolutely awesome! Having him die earlier, like at Gallia 4 might have been too Kakizaki-like... which oddly enough would also have been another homage...

That sounds like a cool idea. If you get it going post a link. I've been thinking about one off and on, having to do with a fleet leaving Earth just before the Zentradi attack. There were two great projects being done at the same time, the Grand Canon and the very first emigration fleet, seen more as a last ditch effort to try and save some people... It's main cast would be decedents from original Macross characters - or their extended families for the most part. It would use familiar aspects from Macross, Macross II and Robotech, and entail these people running from their new home and stumbling across an abandoned Macross Long Rang Colonization fleet. Of course, that's just the beginning...

I don't know if it's because I'm American and do to too many 'happy ending' scenarios, but I would like to know what really happened to Misa and Hikaru and Minmay. I don't like have endings just dangling like that. But seeing as the voice actor for Hikaru is deceased, and this was apparently a good friend of Kowomori, I doubt we would see the actual characters themselves in anything but flashbacks or pictures on a mantle. If Kowomori however did continue with the original story, I would think it would best be done through Misa and Hikaru's daughter Miku Ichijyo. In the Macross universe, the possibilities are truly endless...

That is a beautiful job!! Kudos. I like the armor piece over the nose, as I had thought about something similar. Can the armor be removed from it, and was it the 'Reactive Raiders' under all the armor? WOW! I could picture you carrying this into Mac Aus Con and saying, 'Easy biotch's, I got this!!'

Thanks to the link to E2046 http://www.e2046.com/product.php?products_id=2078 I just got mine!! Quick delivery too, SIX DAYS from payment sent, from Honk Kong to my door! Lovely little kit too, great detail and very little flash. Haven't pieced it together yet, someday soon hopefully. I did it on pre-order when they were out of stock, so it was a little less than sixty. Here are some pics. http://s189.photobucket.com/albums/z156/Th...S%20with%20SAP/ Now I just need some canopies....

Thank you man. That is great!!! Awesome work.

What you can do is check youtube, they have a lot of Macross stuff there, along with that intro. Then just do a screen shot - or if you're like me and wonder how to do that, pick up your camera and take a picture. It wouldn't be the best, but its just reference anyway, right? Good luck. Thom EDIT This is something close, right? And here's another. Its just before the final scene cut. As an idea, I gather you want a picture for background, and obviously those above won't do. What you could do was use an image of the Earth from orbit as the background and build the bridge section of the SDF-1 as a partial 3D image, popping out from the picture. Then have the battroid 'floating' in front of it as the centerpiece.

Those are just awesome. It makes me wonder why there are so few of the ships from Macross and other shows. They usually focus on the fighters and figures. I hope you can do this dude, we'd all be very happy and like you loooong time!!

They all look good, but the best are your SECOND and FOURTH choices and Johvic's FIRST choice. Second runners up would be your FOURTH and Johvic's FIRST, with the winner being in the Final's --- Johvic's FIRST choice!!

PLEASE, please tell me that you will make it available!! I will beg and plead - well I AM begging and pleading! I will put as much time into the cutting styrene to make a plastic version as you did making it in paper!!

If he needs it, I'm willing to donate to the screen-fund!!

Sorry, I'm no help. Just saying I haven't seen it before, but it is a great looking machine, and I too would love to see more.

Utmost care must be taken during construction, as the builder of the prototype fractured a finger during construction. Nah, just kidding. From what's said this was caused by something totally different... ph34r.gif Belly Well, that's all the updates on the sit so far. Pretty cool though... and now I'm tired. Going to bed...
