"Jin-Roh" anyone?

Still on top of my list.

The Game was produced by two guys from the neighbourhood, and I contributed some mechanical designs. It took them a long time to find a distributor, but now it's out:

So what sizes would be reasonable? I think that a CD-size base can hold a 1/72 fighter kit pinned on a rod. A standing battroid may need a larger base.

With the help of my old Imai kit, I worked out this proposal for a SDF-1 base.

Here's a proposal for the "kite" base. Should it be even more puristic and loose the ornaments on the side, or does it need more detail there?

The Delphinus is from Namco's "Ace Combat 3" PSX Game. The old website is still here:

Now on to the Delphinus 1...

-i-

While we're at it, I'd like to introduce my recently finished Delphinus 3C

Wasn't the F-15 a General Resource plane? Anyway, feel free to paint it as you like. Looks cool.

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.

Hey, that's my table cloth...

Good work, now can someone do the fill-ins?

Cool kit, but you score some points on the Lazymeter for not sanding the seamlines on the legs...

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

actually, I will make it a R-103 C (just by painting it accordingly)

did you know that Hasegawa made them?

-i-

Honestly... they are kinda tiny.. 6 inches tall at most. I have all of the Wave kits. Pretty good detail for battroids... only option you have for Mac Plus battroids.

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.

don't forget the non-scale Kaiyodo YF-19

lookee

...and what is that?

just to tease TSP...

...not expensive enough to expect something spectacular in 1/35, though

-i-

lookee

Excellent work on the dio!

Do you plan to visit the electrosphere once more?

-i-

here's what the Club-M kit looks like. It has the most beautiful nose, for my taste...

-i-

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-

Ok, it's not Macross, but I know it has some fans around here.

eek, where are my sunglasses...

perfect execution, but the color concept is really ...different

-i-

hmm, is the Sukhoi reference official or made up by DHM?

-i-

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-

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.
