pretty...........

just paid for mine as well. I haven't seen a stand mentioned. guess we'll find out soon, eh?

I see where you're at WM... I think the general look issue could be much improved by lengthening the neck behind the canards by a mm or 2... that seems the biggest proportion issue to my eye. I have 5 on pre-order so I have a spare to try it... but I'm reticent to cut up even a 'close' VF-4... anyone have any suggestions to go about a neck job? I should also have a resin one around here somewhere... *scrooge Mcduck dive into kitstash*... not sure where it's at... I'll definitely be comparing the two once the Waves arrive. if Hase ever kit the VF-4, I'll call these A models, and Hase's inevitably sleeker interpretation Gs or something.

New Macross TV Series in 20xx (sometime this decade)
slide replied to Tochiro's topic in Movies and TV Series
I support your "enhanced" Macross-combat reeducation programme! -
My inner Trekkie is desperate for a better explanation than 2x MagLites... but you're probably correct given the other evidence in the show on a similar note: I've always wondered what the underbite on the FB2012 helmet is for? locking it into a wall rack for storage?
-
yea... so from the front Gamlin's is pretty bad... maybe those are self-contained life-support systems in the helmet? I stand by my [admittedly assailable] assertion about the FB-2012 helmet though... It reminds me of a Polo Helmet: *almost DYR:L? colours too!* ...and I don't like it. Personal tastes...

Winup Scale Models on Shapeways offers one in multiple scales: 1/8000, 1/10,000, and 1/20,000... I'm sorely tempted to get one...

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.
slide replied to Gakken85's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
Oh good... the first thought that flashed through my mind was this -
as much as I would love an accurate FB2012 pilot... that's THE UGLIEST helmet in all of Macross. No huge loss to me as long as they include a pilot in some sort of UN SPACY gear*... *Normally this is where I would lay-in to Hasegawa, but their 1/72 not-SDFM/M0 recent releases have all included pilots, so they get a pass as long as they keep it up.

Is that supposed to be the concept version of NCC-1701C? -
waiting on the VF-0C re-release...
-
I'm hoping Arcadia Release it as a kit... that'll at least take the edge off enough that I can justify getting one.
-
Oh Hasegawa, don't ever change: That's an interesting next thing to have coming out in 1/72...
-
I think you nailed the Aircraft Ident F-ZeroOne. As far as I'm aware, no British-designed bombers got a full-blown belly turret, Lancs and other Avro designs had their Radar and/or Jamming equipment in that ventral dome. Some Brit bombers had "Ventral Turrets"... but nothing as effective [or pant-soiling] as the Sperry Ball-Turrets on the '17s and '24s

... them some TINY hinges that I never knew existed... Thanks arbit! I'm sure we'll be able to find a plethora of uses for these

DAAAAAMN Anubis! that's the Bandai kit?! BRAVO!!

Valkyrie Canopy Masks - 1/48 TV VF-1 and 1/72 VF-1D set available!
slide replied to Return To Kit Form's topic in Model kits
and the VT-1/VE-1 canopy please!! -
I find using coarse sanding pads/sticks/sandpaper works best, as you get curls/scours of resin instead of dust. but dust sized particles are unavoidable, so still wear a mask as Arbit suggests... I should wear mine more often...
-
they built six replicas as I recall, and they fly on F-5 engines
-
Indeed, the only other ordinance Hase has released re: Macross are the included missiles in the VF-25 kits, and certain kits with different gunpods
-
Looking at the opening of the show, I don't think the SSM offering is accurate to the Prometheus [but I admit, I don't recall the JBD design from the show proper] Nor is it accurate to the DYR:L? Game intro [@ 0:55 looks like the JBD is right off a Nitmitz]... but THAT version of Prometheus gets cut in half by the orbiting Zentradi, so YMMV... I wouldn't get the SSM one for "accuracy", but I like it none-the-less.
-
I think Grunt's referring to this one.
-
Sweet! More in-service VF-1D!! She's a beaut NZEOD. Great little carrier scene... gotta love the "Hurry up and wait" Someone bring the flight-crew a colouring-book! Not often you see electric green on an active duty bird... no 'Liberace' gold canopy? [anyone know how one could replicate that effect? iridescent paint? or modifying/mixing a Tamiya clear?]
-
Hasegawa needs to get off their butts and get a VF-19F/S out, then a Battroid of the 19 [any one of them, I don't particularly care which], THEN they can Battroid the VF-31
