  1. $450 USD? 😨 A very easy pass, indeed. 😒 This may be the first failed HasLab for TVC. 🤔
  2. Depends on how heavily your topcoat was applied. 🤔 The softer may still be effective. It's intended to meld the decals to painted surfaces, and certainly takes away some of that surface shine... but not as effectively as a flat matte topcoat will. 👍
  3. I found an old metal rod strong enough to handle the weight of this behemoth, so I'm considering whether to display "Storm Attacker" in flight... 🤔 I like being able to see the engines: Of course, I'd have to wire them up with lights if they're visible. ☺️ It'll require a big wooden base for support, considering the weight... At least 5kg, in fact. 😰
  4. You seem to like Mr. Hobby products (as do I)... Seeing how much the decals stand out against the surface, I'd recommend applying these: The setter is often unnecessary, but the softer is indispensable.
  5. That listing seems to have disappeared entirely. 🤨
  6. I don't know if I could justify something that expensive, and I'm just about the biggest Mospeada fan you'll ever meet. It would be an easier decision if I didn't have to repaint it... 😒
  7. Decals always make such a big difference, don't they?
  8. 🤯 Amazing. Thanks for sharing!
  9. I decided to rework the main engines. These just don't look right: Since 99% of the time all that's visible in the show are the elongated rectangles, they needed to be a lot more prominent... Once the thrusters themselves are painted a flat black, I think it'll look a lot more anime-accurate.
  10. That's a unique and eye-catching color scheme, and your paint work is flawless... ...but somehow the canopy frame just looks wrong in green. 🤔
  11. I love the aluminium gun barrels in the GU-11. 😍
  12. Staggering attention to detail.
  13. They're all fantastic, and I hope they're eventually produced as miniatures of some kind. What an honour it must be to contribute to this legacy!
  14. According to the e-mail I received, Sentinel Store will be shipping them out on the 25th: ●7月25日(金)出荷 RIOBOT 1/48 AB-01H トレッド(ストア限定特典付) Actually, he's from neither show. Rick Hunter is a Robotech character (most recently seen in The Shadow Chronicles). 🤮 That means he's fair game for marketing Macross or Mospeada merchandise... outside of Japan, at least. 😒
  15. Those both look fabulous from the renders. Can we hope for a completed Computron within the next decade? 🤔 I'm truly shocked how long it's taken anyone to attempt Masterpiece-style Technobots... while the unending flood of Constructicons continues to drown the market. 🙄
  16. Now THAT's a labor of love! 😅 I like the eye detail.
  17. At 86cm tall, "Storm Attacker" mode maintains a consistent 1:1400 scale.
  18. I think you've proven as much. I'm not a Macross 7 fan, but I'm certainly one of yours! That's stunning work. Did that engine lighting come with the kit?
  19. Yeah, that's pretty much what the trailers presented. Truth in advertising. ☺️
  20. Only about five weeks, so far... 🤔 ...but long enough to have completely destroyed my fingertips, wet-sanding all these big parts...! 😭 After another week of printing, I should be ready to begin the months of painting required to achieve the level of detail demanded by a model of this scale.
  21. Gross. The circuit-board green internals clash badly with the royal blue exterior, and the new white stripes everywhere are an egregious eyesore. "METAL series" certainly suggests as much. 🤕
