This scheme is awesome. But too dark for my taste as Hikaru. On the other hand I also found the Roy 29 too dark, so its a matter of p4eferences.

What would a Hikaru version look like?

Your Flickr pics are something else!

I'm not too worried. These DX reissues as well as the Hi-Metal R have been fairly easy to find after release dates. You can already get the YF-29 on Ebay for USD 160.

Would you be able to cover up the painted chest and then soak it in peroxide? I am interested in your method because I have some yellowed chogokin to restore as well. I've read some How To's on the web, just very scared to try it and damage the existing paint, although they say you can cover it with masking tape.

My children don't get into the slower classics, but really enjoy the Sherlock Hound Eng Dub...8-10yr olds.

I'm using Testors Cement for clear parts, but find it really doesn't hold. Anyone have advice?

Thanks. Here is an update on the test wiring of the motor was successful, so now I can start with the actual build Of course there are other amazing builds out there, but my idea is to share all the details for others just starting out on electric wiring. I do have to say that while its fun to wire and light up your toys, the biggest challenge is waiting for parts to arrive in the mail! Props to MechTech for his support.

It does look good to me. I'm not a line art fanatic.

Whats the expected quality of the plastic going to be on this? Would someone familiar with this line give some thoughts? Good quality? Or cheap and flimsy?

Beautiful bird. Beautiful color.

Was there a limit of 1?

Thanks for the welcome.I usually avoid forums due to evil moderators and childish trolls. But as long as Macross folks are civil, newbies will stay on and contribute our experience with these toys.

Arcadia is in a bad spot here. They have just rebranded and their first line of zero releases have issues. I wouldn't want to be in their shoes. This could hurt the future of their organization. If I put myself in their shoes, they can't openly acknowledge an issue because if the line fails it would be a huge financial blow. So they have two options to protect their company, 1) deny the problem until sales are underway and then offer a fix later; or 2) acknowledge the problem now and offer fixes to anyone with problems. If they just ignore the problem, unless its an isolated issue, a high failure rate will spell their doom.

I will give you a million dollars if HLJ replaces such an expensive item. Their return policy is only skin deep.

I tried out mykombini.One issue was that the shopping basket was not secure, ie not https, and got a security warning. Anyone else worried about that? I did register since it does not involve any secure info.

Could you explain further how you strengthen broken tabs or provide a link? Thanks.

I just have to say that this is the greatest fan podcast of all time. Some stuff I love: - Off the cuff interviews with fans. - The fact that you refer to issues and page numbers of reference books. - Music and live music interludes. - Event coverage - Totally stupid jokes, mainly by Gubaba.

It is great to have a shapeways fix, but I would still hate to have to cut the glued plastic tabs on a 300 dollar toy.

I don't get it. There is already a shapeways fix for the new 0A? Seems quick. Or is this the same fix as for the old Yamato?

Hope to hear more feedback on this issue from the forum before cancelling my 0S pre-order.

I avoid HLJ at all costs.

Someone needs to ask Tenjin. Anyway wouldn't all gray be boring?

Hi there Valk. No I do not have a picture of it. I am beginning to think the kit I got around 1990 could only have been a Bandai 1/60 model kit, because it was easy to put together even for a complete beginner. The Bandai variable kit was available in 1990 right, with legs that peg on the nose cone? That's the key question. For some reason for the years around the release of Yamato's version 1 1/60, I always assumed that kit from 1990 was also by Yamato. I don't know why I thought this, since apparantly Yamato never made a 1/60 kit. I think its some kind of mind trick: Perhaps it was distributed by Toycom, and then when Yamato was distributed by Toycom and had the same parts swapping gimmick, I made a mental connection in my mind and thought my kit was also by Yamato. In 1990 I would not have known Bandai from Band Aid.

Nice weathering job. I would love a Q Rau but haven't found one for my taste. 1/60 is too big and 1/144 is too small. I hope they make a 1/100 Hi Metal!!!
