    3. Research on a Millia and Max Vf-1J Supper from last battle. Using Max and Millia set with Fast packs from Vf-1A I need many Pics of their VF-1Js to do this!

    Need Info On a few Kits: Max and Millia

    Hey guys,

    I am comming to you today because I am starting my research on Max and Millia Super VF-1J's. I want to Make 2 hasegawa kits using the Max and Millia VF-1J double set and Using the Fast packs from the VF-1A super sets. Perfect fit for what I want to do. :p

    I Have a million pics of Max and Millia in Regular Fighter , however there Super Versions for the Last battle and for the Macross Factory Battle are hard to find Pictures and hard hard to determin color scheme. I am trying to get Pictures of the coloring of the Fast packs.

    I have been watching my videos and Found a few Pictures from around the Web But I cannot seem to find a CLEAR picture of what the Fast packs looked like

    From what I have been able to understand is

    1. "The last battle" Fast packs were Only Blue and Red on the back portion of the Top Boosters. Not the leg Plates. The leg plates were Traditinal blue just like every other VF-1 in that battle.

    However,

    2. "The Macross Factory Battle" Fast packs Leg plates were "Blue and Red"?

    Example of Factory Battle??

    and

    ban_extra_c7.jpg

    Now for the "Last battle" episode 27?

    and

    Ignore the HEWAT Gun and think only leg plate for this pic :D

    ban_extra_c18.jpg

    So you can see How i am confused. Did they at all times have Blue(max) and Red (millia) Painted Leg armor Plates?

    Yamato Shows them Both Blue and Red. However I only see Max and Millia with them painted Only in episode 30 and even then some sceens they were only blue.

    So if anyone can help me out and has any ideas Let me know

    Thank you

    Anyone know this seller on Ebay?

    in Where to Buy Macross, Auctions & Dealers Specials

    Hey anyone know this seller and or know if he is a MW Member? I won this auction a Month ago and I have not recived the item. He has also Relisted the Item in the past few days. If I got shafted this guy will make the Blacklist faster then then a Frog can jump off a Hot rock, As we say down here in Louisiana. I have emailed the Person 3 times since then and No communication back. I have read his feedback and he had Fast shipments and then he has SUPPER slow shipments. He has some negative feed back but almost 600 Positive. So I was hoping one of you may have delt with him before

    The Link to the item is above.

    Thank you,

    1/100 Scale Spartan Conversion

    in The Workshop!

    Posted

    Ok well a few months ago I started a topic to create Bifors for the 1/100 and 1/72 Scale Spartan and Tomahawk.

    Here is the first Pics of the 1/100 Spartin Conversion

    Showing the Shoulder doors cut away and Some of the Resin cast bifors

    With a little help from Jessee, and the Cast parts from Gundumheads parts I am Making this kit more real, At least in my eyes

    You can see the Resin cast Bifors that I have replicated from my origional. They came out great!

    Here is the shoulder Open with some of the Bifors I cut to make them accurate to the Spartan

    DSC00778.JPG

    Well LOTS of work to do, Painting, Primeing,

    Way I look at it is. VERY small cost to take a old school 1/100 Scale Spartan and turn it into what What it REALLY looks like :D

    1/72 Imai Regult

    John to me what would make this 1/72 scale more real is a Resin Small missile and Heavy Missile set in 1/72 for and add on to the 1/72 kit. To me its the LITTLE differences that make a single Kit more Fun to build. Now not only is a 1/72 Regult kit look better with Resin Missle Pod sets. You can make Different Versions.

    Heavy%20missle.JPG

    All someone has to do is Sculp or TRY to build just the Missile mounts, and you will have a WHOLE new kit

    I say Take what we have and Make it better. Conversion to the OLD kits is the way to go when Model makers cant/wont make the kits we long for

    I dont think that would be hard for someone like John to make. To bad we only have a few Johns, If I could make the whole group of us that talanted with the snap of my fingers I would.

    Possible Upcoming Hase Macross Kits!

    Posted

    its kind of hard for me to be happy. Since I am into the TV serious Macross only. I just dont see why its hard to obtain Rights to make destroids and Enemy Craft. To me why make only 1/10 of something. Bigwest must want some big royalites. To bad we may never see any of them.

    GTC Still around?

    in Model kits

    Posted · Edited by Ranger565

    hey guys, I have an old GTC catalog and was wondering if anyone still orders from Ron? I have called that number a few times, but I never get an answer. Was wondering if hes still in business? Last time I talked with him he still had Every Model listed under the Sun.
