    Wow. Sorry to hear about your guys issues with the new Valk. When's someone gonna call out Arcadia as to what they really are? Overpriced, poorly engineered, not accurately painted, and lack of tampo printing IMHO makes these guys not even be on my radar anymore. I know they have their supporters here, but I'm sorry, I'm out until I see major changes. I was thinking about this today, I mean what have they actually released that isn't a direct copy of Yamato Ver 2 VF-1's OR had serious issues with joints, inaccurate paint jobs and sever lack of tampo. The answer is nothing! I'm on the Bandai train myself. Are they as good now as Yamato was before? Debatable. Glad I was around in the golden years of Yamato.

    and here we go! One wing engine part doesn't quite stay down as far as the other, it springs back up slightly. no biggie really. Other than that perfect!

    I was actually about to just hold the buzzer down like a real ass and wait and see if they would come and then bitch them out when they did....thankfully someone came.

    After 15 minutes of ringing the bell and banging on the "Quick Service Door" at the post office this morning, a lady FINALLY opened up the door and got me my 27 Grace! Got a date tonight, but can't wait to get home and play with Grace! ohh wait...

    Here's three pics I found on the net. The first two are from a build here I believe and this is the color scheme I used for painting. The 3rd is just a cool modified kit.

    Well the first thing you need to understand is the difference between the different kinds of paint that are available for painting models. Mainly you want to stick to acrylic and enamel paint. Some people swear by acrylic and others like enamels. I stick with Tamiya acrylics and Testors Model Master for enamels. If you look around on Google you can easily find paint charts for each brand of paint. There's really no 100% accurate painting guide for Macross kits, that's kind of the fun of them. We try things until we get something we like and go with it.

    If you have a local hobby shop, you should go there first and get to know the staff. They will hopefully be nice and helpful. If you don't have access to a local hobby shop, Hobby Lobby is a national chain and depending on which store you go to, most have a decent selection of model making supplies. If you need online stores, I prefer Hobbylinc.com or Mega Hobby. Take some time and look through the workbench thread here, lots of good guys around here and LOTS of talent.

    Mine should be here today, but there's no way I'm going to be able to get it from the horrible USPS office until possibly tomorrow morning. I despise have to deal with the trolls that work there.

    Still loving my P....hooowever, it's actually kind of a funny thing, now that the design is getting on in years, you can kinda see where things could be improved and I'm assuming many were with the Bandai VF-19 Advance. I don't own one, but have kept up with the thread. That being said, it's still a pretty bird, but my visor and head piece just won't stay on in fighter mode, no biggie, just slightly annoying.

    Some progress today on the scout pod, which is ready for paint...would've been more progress had I not been out of every single color paint I wanted to paint today. Oh well. Maybe next weekend. Also in case someone missed it I am looking for a set of the thigh parts for the baby crabs which were left out of the kit by mistake and the molds have since been thrown out. I have a post over in the wanted section if any of you Mospeada guys can help me out I would greatly appreciate it. :-)

    wow, so they didn't do a damn thing to fix the leg issue some people had with the 0D. Hmm...yeh, no Arcadia Zero valks for me. Next.....
  20. derex3592
    What should the proper number be for Grace's 27?
  21. derex3592
    Go ahead Arcadia...re-release the VF-4 in these two schemes and see how much money gets instantly thrown your way!
  22. derex3592
    Hoping mine miiiight get here tomorrow...we'll see!
  23. derex3592
    As great as the D looks in fighter mode, I don't mind having to keep mine in battroid mode because of space limitations! It's such a brute!
  24. derex3592
    I dunno...I think the matt finish works on some stuff, but I for one actually like the gloss finish on Valks, it looks more like they do in the actual anime to me. (ducks and runs for cover)
