It's Eaglemoss. They take great pains to ensure that nothing they produce is ever to scale with anything else they produce. I've got five different starship displays, at five different scales, and I'm still stuck with ships that won't scale properly anywhere...

Definitely not. Thankfully, it looks very easy to remove. I'm not sure. Let me consult with my dog on that one.

We've just addressed the same question here.

I used to be an exterior home painter, and the latex brands we used came in four types of finish: Gloss, Semi-gloss, Satin (Eggshell), or Matte (Flat). The Tamiya and Mr. Hobby paints I use come in 光沢 or つやあり (gloss), 半光沢 (semi-gloss), 3/4つや消し (3/4 flat), or つや消し (matte). So I suppose the 3/4 flat could be called a "satin" finish. Yeah, same with Wave's model kit. Basically just a movie-style flight suit; certainly nothing like the helmet seen in the OAV.

Not "Skynet," but Lazlo Zand... and not "Terminators," just duplicates. "Clones" is equally inaccurate, because it's impossible to clone a hairstyle (or a mustache).* * Of course, the artists and/or writers probably just don't understand how cloning works.

Looks like a late '70s setting to me... but more New York than Chicago. Chicago's the real-world analogue for Gotham City, of course. New York is the basis for Metropolis.

Damn, Lolicon, you're doing it again... Making all our beloved Macross toys look like crap compared to yours. A satin overcoat? Seriously, what model paints come in "satin?"
-
That yellowing is much too pronounced (and much too widespread) to make it worth the effort. Unless it can be done with chemicals, I don't think that Max is worth salvaging. It's a mess. Better to repaint with a unique color scheme... something like this, maybe?

Okay, so who's the Bowie sound-alike singing a duet with Freddie Mercury? Me too. At first, I was like "Why would I even transform it?" But now... Having a gunpod to wield makes a huge difference.

The Mk. 43 (from Age of Ultron) is the last suit I actually liked. The new suits look too much like a painted bodysuit... ...or a kid in a onesie.

Nope. As always, Lolicon knows what he's talking about. Note the wing alignment on the Wave model kit:

Stick to Japanese modeling materials. Having grown up in Canada with Testers, Humbrol and the like, I can tell you that Mr. Color and Tamiya brand paints are much higher quality (and considerably easier to use) than what's readily available in your neck of the woods... Unless you know your way around an airbrush, spray cans and masking tape is the way to go. This is what I managed to achieve this week, without the aid of an airbrush:

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

Loki should be taller than Cap. Tom Hiddleston is taller than Chris Evans. In fact, he's taller than everybody! -
How about a "Cavaliers" paint scheme?

As are the Moebius models, that come in 1:72 (too big for HMR, too small for 1:60) or 1:32 (too big for... anything Macross, really). There are smaller die-cast toy versions available, but I wouldn't use "highly detailed" to describe 'em... I think you're SOL, scand. -
The single female body MEP has sculpted for these figures isn't terrible... which is more than can be said for the faces. They look like newborn babies wearing wigs.

1/48+fp's, 1/60+fp's, 1/72, 1/2k, 1/3k,1/100 and now 1/144

Where do you source all your waterslide decals? The only decent Macross-specific ones I have were stolen from model kits. Low-resolution fan-printed sets are unsatisfying, but they're better than the generic aircraft or mecha decals available (that tend to disintegrate as I apply them to the surface)... How is it you seem to have such an endless supply available for 1:60 scale VFs? -
Well, if Kawamori put it there, I'll do the same. Thanks for your contributions, everyone!

That VF-25 is from Bandai's "VF100's" line. Arcadia hasn't produced any Macross Frontier toys, nor do they make model kits. Perhaps you're thinking of Bandai...? Bandai produced a wide variety of Frontier toys at 1:60 scale, and a number of 1:72 model kits. Hasegawa also has a wide range of Macross model kits at the same scale.

Rose is conspicuously absent.

The Unlicensed Third Party Transformers Thread

Those are X-Transbots MX Series "Berzerkars" Stunticons. I don't know who to credit the photography to. -
"Klingorcs."

Regardless, ¥6480 is a lot to spend on a character I already have at that scale... Think I'll stick with my $20 Hasbro Legends Nebula... ...and Gamora.

I get where you're coming from... but even some TV Valkyries differ only by head.
