Baby Crabs...stupid fracking baby crabs..one step forwards, two steps back...grrrrr... .with any luck, finished pics by the end of the weekend!

Muuuust not buuuy mooooore models!!! My to build pile is already out of control! The sadist inside me really wants to buy and save that 1:48 YF-19 and VF-1 with the PE parts for a rainy day though...

Well, I combed every corner of the net for the instructions that I know to look in for the last hour, no luck. Got close on Collection DX and Mech9.com, but they only had pics of the front and back, and decal sheet, not the actual assembly instructions. Sorry..

I'm gonna look around the net and see what I can find, but it's a rare kit, so I don't know how much luck I'll have with the instructions, in the meantime ...you can always look back at this guys build!!! It's fracking sweeeeet! http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/?showtopic=41265

Here's some pics of mine to give you a bit of encouragement! Yes...mine was brittle as well..so be careful! As for instructions, let me look around, there's a website that has scans of old Macross kits..it might be on there. If so, I'll share the link.

My thoughts exactly!

Wow! Congratulations! Is that the older Fine Molds kit, or the newer Bandai one? Looks very well beaten up and .... christmassy!

Yes! I have built it and it is worth it. You are one of the best around here so I don't mind saying I can't wait to see how awesome it looks when you get finished! It's an old kit so old kit rules apply..really cheap soft plastic. The decals were dead on mine, but whatever, looks fine without any and matches the anime! I'll post some pics of mine later if I can dig them up. Also the kit is in an odd scale of 1:720 according to the box.

+1

Really been thinking about pickup up MP Ratchet and Ironhide..let us know what you think of Ratchet.

uhh ohh... Zentradi work bench invasion!!!

QFT! I'm really hoping to start mine this weekend!

Need this in 1:60 like NOW!!!!

The HMR Glaug would go nicely on a Yetistand if one were so inclined...

never even thought of that!

Very nice!!!

Some progress yesterday...

Messing around with some color runway print outs from a while back...

You can get most any ship ever seen in the Star Trek universe I believe! Just gotta hunt them down on Evilbay. Yes that is the ship seen in the episode all good things, under Dr Crushers command. It's actually one of my favorites...the paint apps on it are absolutely perfect. Be careful though.... it's a slippery slope...once you buy one or two you have to have more. Not that any of us have a problem around here like that…

That is freakin gorgeous! Speaking of Star Trek.. I've recently become severely addicted to the Eaglemoss Star Trek Ship Line!! So here's what I have so far along with Mr. Glaug!

It was a resin figure included with one of the small scale Zentradi Capital Ship models from back in the day. I think it came with Kamjin's ship.

ok.. I'll try that. In the meantime, some friends have joined the party!!! Curse you Bandai I want the VF-1J NOW!

LOL!! That pic wins MacrossWorld today. Fact. anybody having a bitch of a time getting the little red antenna to peg in??? I CAN'T get mine to go in!!!

I'm going to finally get to play with..errr..study my Glaug tonight. At first glance, some of the red plastic does look kinda cheap, perhaps a slightly darker red would have been a better choice. So the model guy in me is thinking "ohh man, I can't wait to panel line and weather this thing up so it looks awesome!", while the other part of me just wants to play with the darn thing and have fun...been waiting for this toy since 1985! No way to get more than one of these..display space has reached CRITICAL MASS at my place, so I guess I'm gonna have to make a choice...

I officially now hate you Spanner. Just kidding...super jealous of your trip though! Have a great time and take loads of pics you can share with us!
