Has anyone ever made a proper cockpit replacement for that all-resin-one-piece cockpit that we can't ever paint?

Yeah almost done . will send you a pic once i've painted Jack.

Damn, that's pretty tempting.
At least this one won't have another crappy cockpit 😄

Well said Valkyrie. Platz if your reading this, an operable cockpit please. Oh and 2 pilots.

Final mission Mave just came out last week

How about a blast from the past.

Remember these that almost came out! 

Oomoolie toys was going to release these along with the Banshee 4.

It is possible that Platz just used their image from the 1/144 kit.

It’s totally possible.

Snakerbot I know you just put the link in. Did you notice as well?

Have you just seen hlj? There will be a Jam sensor jammer 1/72 version of the Mave coming out in Dec. the most interesting part is that the picture shows the ram jet pheonix mark 11 engines!!!!!!!!! Will we finally be getting Mave’s final version in 1/72 or is it just a picture placement mistake????????? Please let this be real!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow they are very cool. I can definitely see the xwing tie fighter colours there. Yeah rest of the mesh is done not too much to go. Have designed a lot of ground vehicles and Bax heavy armour for my upcoming story. 

Bryce has always done a great job from the get go. I’m unfamiliar with terragen, looks good. I use maya it’s been good. I’m writing a yukikaze fan fiction and currently working on mave’s cockpit. 

Wow you did a great job of that one. It look like sky crawlers but not , are they your own design?

ZOMG the Yukikaze animation will turn 20 this year...

Time to look back on my first Supersylph (Bandai 1/100 kit).

 

Beautiful work  just like your banshee. Is that Bryce scene builder as the background? You must have completed this model around 2003 -4. The super Sylph hasn’t aged at all in It’s visual appeal. Fine work my friend. 

That would be nice. I don’t think the company Flying dog exists any more  2 new novels would be great though. And the new plane models. Although my wallet hurts so bad this year already, I just forked over for a Sentinal Rook Bartley (mospeada) I might give them a miss. 
Nah!!! I’m kidding myself of course I’m going to get them. Just don’t tell the Missus. 
The 1/144 of the jam sylph Is awesome I built the paper model of the jam type 1 and scaled up the specs to make a 1/72 scale of it in sheet styrene. It’s going to be quite big. I’m going to put a little clear and Yellow plastic nose on the paper model to make it look authentic . I was really impressed that Platz included it. 

About the Jam sylph.

At last the collection is complete!

 

I was wondering if anyone in here has read the novels. I know we're lacking an english translation of the 3rd one, but I'd love to hear Macross fan's impressions of the two that are available.

By the way 100 mega that is a very impressive collection you have there. Which one completed your collection? I’m still hunting down the Super Sylph. Absolutely crazy prices now. All you have there in that pic is expensive enough to display in a vault. Ha ha. 

Speaking of which after all these years 3.0+1.0 is out at last and I hear the reviews are great. People actually move to tears in the cinema. Can’t wait. 

The third novel was released in 2009. Unbroken arrow. I have a hot copy in my hand but alas I am not Japanese. How ever the translator of the 2 previous novels gives a brief but tantalisingly overview of the third novel without giving anything away. You can get a digital copy of both translated novels and I highly recommend reading them ‘wow’ Kambayashi wasn’t awarded best sci fi writer on a whim. You’ll love it and be left wanting more. 

By the way if anyone has scanned images of the SAF flight manual and the FAF technical orders I'd be very happy. There is character art work in them that isn't in FAF at war, Blue and purple or Sento Yosei Yukikaze - Mechanical Design Works.

Hi 100mega, The downloaded blueray of Yukikaze I have is definitely better quality than the standard DVD. The blueray version I downloaded about 2010  has no subtitles or English dub.

I bought the original series back in 2002 when it first came out. Mind you I got the  Platinum edition with the DTS 6 channel sound so I couldn't speak for the sound, however the picture quality on the blueray is better even if it is in the standard 4:3 ratio.

My advise is, that if you can get an original blueray copy then get it, as they are super rare. Plus you get a fantastic art book and other goodies like the Diecast 1:200 yukikaze FFR-41mr aircraft behind a little window in the blueray box. I opted out as they were around $300 dollars at the time they came out new from CD Japan. I'm going on Aust, dollars.

Good to know. I almost presses buy at Nippon Yasan. But at over $500 Australian dollars, (what the!!!!) I can't justify it at all. I'm really glad they said they'd PO again. These are crazy times. Imagine ten years ago purchasing something over $300 dollars. I'd probably have to explain to my wife's folks why I'm still fit to be married to their daughter...pun intended. There just seems to be no end of amazing releases coming out every month. It's been a good lesson in restraint..but it makes me cry watching all of the amazing releases pass by.

Eva 2......Damn you nippon yasan I almost want it. I was camping with my trigger finger at the ready at hobbylink and still missed it. If any of you have ordered 2 at the recomended price I'm willing to buy it off of you. Please let me know.........:)

Makes you wonder if any of the Metal builds will show up in the final movie.

It's so good I don't know what to say. 

Hey guys!!!!!! So we know it's coming. I'm very excited. What would you think if Unit 2 came out on the Rail brace seen in the rebuild movies. I'm just putting it out there, as I think it would be Fantastic!!!! but I want to know what you think. I've already "hinted" to Bandai about it. Whats you opinions???????????? p.s. have a wall paper or two

I really liked Undercover Boss with Kylo Ren......they should do one with Palpatine.

I don't know? If Palpatine is anything like Kylo Ren as a boss he'd "Staight up suck."................Sorry couldn't help myself.
