  1. Wasn't the F-15 a General Resource plane? Anyway, feel free to paint it as you like. Looks cool. -i-
  2. honneamise, excellent work on the Toybox. I' still tempted to buy a FAND from Platz. Here's a pic of a scratchbuild Rex. I have no information where it's from. If someone wants to build a large scale Rex, I recommend the Metal Gear Solid Artbook, it has tons of detail drawings. The CG version seems to be a little off the original's proportions. -i-
  3. Hey, that's my table cloth... Good work, now can someone do the fill-ins? like this
  4. Cool kit, but you score some points on the Lazymeter for not sanding the seamlines on the legs...
  5. Aaah, the memories... I believe I built the green one from the Megaro-Zamac line prior to anything Macross, since it showed up here in Germany a few days earllier. I live near the Dutch border, and over there in Venlo there was a three-store toy shop which had a full shelf of japanese robot kits which instantly blew my head off... not sure if I got it back together since then... First contact: VF-1 J Gerwalk Destroid Tomahawk -i-
  6. actually, I will make it a R-103 C (just by painting it accordingly) did you know that Hasegawa made them? -i-
  7. That's not entierly true. Hobby Base Retppu did a 1/72 VF-11B battroid. B-Club released 1/100 scale (IIRC) YF-19 & YF-21 battroids. And TECT released 1 1/144 scale YF-19 battroid. Graham don't forget the non-scale Kaiyodo YF-19
  8. ...and what is that? just to tease TSP...
  9. ...not expensive enough to expect something spectacular in 1/35, though -i-
  10. Excellent work on the dio! Do you plan to visit the electrosphere once more? -i-
  11. here's what the Club-M kit looks like. It has the most beautiful nose, for my taste... -i-
  12. Is there a decal set (normal colors) for this kit available? I am in the process of painting mine and have to decide wether I make a set of markings or use not-so-fitting old ones. -i-
  13. Ok, it's not Macross, but I know it has some fans around here. A Rafe wallpaper featuring my 1/100 plastic model kit from Bandai: get your flavour here: http://www.online-club.de/~romansland/yukikaze/rafe1024.jpg http://www.online-club.de/~romansland/yukikaze/rafe1280.jpg -i-
  14. eek, where are my sunglasses... perfect execution, but the color concept is really ...different -i-
  15. hmm, is the Sukhoi reference official or made up by DHM? -i-
  16. Sounds like they could learn a thing or two from Lucasfilm... And producing final lineart after the CG models have been build?! How could that make sense? -i-
  17. Does anybody have experience with Mr. Mark Softer? On the "lineart" topic: I'm pretty sure that the Hase staff has access to the CG models of Macross Zero, so any deviation from that might be a concession to economic issues. -i-
  18. ok, to stop you from weeping over that japanese auction, I've posted some linart scans from hobby japan Yamashiita rules! -i-
  19. the last pic is from an ad in dengeki hobby magazine, the others are from PLATZ, the manufacturer of the 1/72 yukikaze kits. -i-
  20. Great work, LTSO! Very balanced weathering to round it off. The new decal set of the 1.5 version are a helpful, but less than perfect IMO. The blue of the lines on top of the fuselage is way off, also are the colors of the antenna fin, and the yellow stripes around the engines are too heavy. Although it was really a pain to mask, I'm glad I painted all these on my kit. There where several errors regarding the decal positions in the first version of the kit's instructions, so I'm posting production artwork I found on the PLATZ website for color + decal reference for all who want to build this excellent kit in the future. It would be nice to see a completed 1/72 kit here. -i-
  21. I like the original color design of the Mave, but I think this looks even better! The heavy mode looks really cool, too. A larger sized beauty shot would be nice. And a view of the underside, please... -i-
  22. I've put up some some raw pics of my model. The lighting wasn't too good, but you can get some views of the beautiful work Bandai (and designer Ikuto Yamashiita) did here http://www.online-club.de/~romansland/supersylph/ The only modifications I did was clipping off the tiny wings of the missiles and replacing them with bits of 0.25 mm styrene sheet and raising the pilot figures 0,7 mm, otherwise you wouldn't see them in the profile picture. The various stripes on the model are painted (masking hell!), all colors were subdued ba adding very light grey. Many of the decal positions indicated in the manual are wrong, so use the animation ore the CG grafics on the box as reference. -i-
  23. thank you all for the appreciation the background images were indeed created with terragen, a great program, but using it gives you a real headache. On top of that, the renderer is slow as a glacier... I used a Canon Powershot G2 to make the photos of the model, with a north-facing window as a soft backlight. Composing + color correction was done in Photoshop (of course) sorry, unsf, I can't render larger backgrounds, so the pics are as big as it gets for now. -i-
  24. Hi I noticed quite a few people here who are into Sentou Yousei Yukikaze, so you may be interested in my CG illustrations featuring my Bandai Supersylph model. You can get the HiRes versions here: http://www.online-club.de/~romansland/Supersylph.jpg http://www.online-club.de/~romansland/Supersylph2.jpg -i-
