  1. This is the New Generation of Macross garage kits!
  2. They forgot to add some visual perks for the upgraders...
  3. Here's a reference shot of my Fine Molds kit, the size is perfect if you're on limited display estate.
  4. Here are new pics of the Striker: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/image/10353821/10/0 Nice kit, but it comes at whopping 12.800 Yen
  5. I just had to check the first page if this had actually started as a papercraft model...
  6. No need to bomb the room with paint. When I paint small parts like Gundam limbs, a 30 x 40 cm sheet of paper is sufficient to avoid getting paint on my desktop. So there is, IMO, no need for an industrial grade fan, especially if you stick to acrylics.
  7. Exactly like that. Hobby Japan propagated it as the "Max technique" in the earlier years of gunpla, where Max Watanabe would start with a black base coat and gradually build up layers of white upon that, but I think it works better (and easier) with the colors not too far apart. It gives a nice structure to otherwise plain surfaces without looking overly weathered, and you can achieve interesting shifting of colors.
  8. ^ Whoa, you started a Macross factory? - I try to achieve an outlandish look for my Anubis with negative shading: After lots of prep work, it's starting to come together...
  9. Hi kajnrig, nice to see you over here. My advice: Save the HGs and the 19 for later and get an airbrush I've been using a single-action Badger 350 for all my work - available for around 40$, and it will change your modeling life forever...
  10. Interesting, I completely missed Iczer 1 - and while it's not a clear clone, I wonder if Gundam Portent's color scheme is a pure coincidence: Also, look at this: http://ryugassj3.deviantart.com/art/Iczer-Robo-Character-Model-by-Obari-Real-489432328
  11. The Ghost has some wicked shapes on it, I do not envy you for working it all out!
  12. Well, the landing pads have to double-function as the lower compressors, so they need to be big...
  13. Quite substantially bigger, if you ask me:
  14. Hmm, shouldn't the packs have the same footprint as the top surface of the engines at the rear end?
  15. The other guy's machine gets a kit, too: http://www.1999.co.jp/blog/img/20150925omochi29.jpg
  16. Tenjin cover Illustration for the Super M spotted: http://www.1999.co.jp/blog/img/20150925hasega41.jpg
  17. The quality of their kits/toys is doubtlessly high, but those prices will get you a 1/48 Hase kit.
