Wicked Ace

I will likely end up buying one of these. Of course, I am a sucker for small, not-so-accurate VF-1 Valkyries -- I bought these afterall.

What's the trick to getting this thing to stand up on its own?

Nice work! Might have been more appropriate to put the SMS stuff on the S281E.

Very cool!

Nothing like finding a mystery folder with some old pics.

Here's an old pic of this one -- apologies for not creating a gallery with more pictures.

Cheers!

Good to be back and still see familiar screen names. I'll share this pic (again?) as a reminder to myself that I still have Macross projects to tend to.

These threads are still going?

Been a long time since I've been able to visit MW for any length of time. . . too long!

I saw a white R/T on the road the other day -- really sweet!

The VF-0 is so nice.

Yes. The DX is a solid toy, or I would have posted breakage pics by now.

I urge you not be afraid to transform the DX. Transformation is quick, intuitive, and fun.

Nice one!

Pictures?

No obsessive rubbing going on.

I really need a proper stand for this thing.

Ummm. . .

I am a grown man who plays with transformable robot toys. What do you think?

I remember saying this to a girl on Friday night.

I would not call the paint application "cheap." I am a lot less careful with play toys than most collectors. I hesitate to mention Yamato in this thread; however, the plastic used on Yamato's toys is not glossy and has a texture to it -- the paint sticks well and even presents problems for those, like me, who want to remove the paint on occasion. Again, I bring up the paint for those who are considering purchasing these and being as rough as I am with it.

Pics regarding my above post: No doubt the paint has a difficult time biting the glossy surface. For those who care about having a pristine condition toy, I thought this worth mentioning. I am not one who cares, as I treat this DX toy like a rag doll -- its going to get a good deal more "realism" with me fiddling with it.

I am not sure if anyone has commented on this, but as solid as this toy is, its "paint" requires a little careful handling.
