This is the kind of amazing build that can make you give up on modeling forever!

Can't help but always notice how similar the lower radar antenna is to the V-E!

I wonder if the Regult variants will be sold as extra attachment packs, or entirely new Regults. The guns on the head of my Regult, where missiles might go, don't seem to come off, and not planning to force them.

The basic idea for repairing that broken limb is you get thin wire (0.5mm to 1mm depending on need), drill a hole in both sides of the broken piece with a micro drill, super glue both sides together, and you get a strong new connection with the help of the wire. As Garfinkle mentioned, you can also fill the rest of the cavity first before your drill. Just gotta know what your doing with the glue to make sure you don't spill everywhere, so use a toothpick or something. I had a small spillage of super glue recently on a part and I was able to clean it up with toothpaste polish after it dried a bit.

I use the Arduino board only as a power source. Actually haven't learned how to use it yet other than that. Would need a simple tutorial to get into it.

I've been using the toothpaste polish trick. It works wonders on any mess ups. Even helped fix some super glue I accidentally dropped on a bit of my model.

1/20,000 Nupetiet Custom. Sneak peak of final video in the Models section. Thanks to MechTech, NZEOD, and all the others here at the Workbench for your advice along the way. It worked!

Thanks to all the advice from the Workbench team along the way.

The Glaug's head doesn't seem to swivel much. Is that right? Don't want to force it.

You need to wipe it down with cloth. sometimes there is oil from the manufacturing process. I've seen this on the Chogokin paint finish as well.

Someone get him the link for repairing with wire.

Much more fun to play when you have the bad guys along. Thanks Bandai.

Every one.

Disappointed with the Glaugs flimsy box. Wont last.

Nice ride!

Thanks. I've always been curious about that.

Thanks Jenius. I have both types Yamato and Arcadia, but I a don't have a clue about paint. Are these considered painted or paint injected? The DX Bandai's clealry look painted, but these Yamarcadias are hard to tell.

Nice camera angles too. Looks great.

Question about the paint job. What is the likelihood of paint scratches with Arcadia's bright white coat, compared to Yamato's matte paint injection? i haven't opened mine yet in several months, and I realized I was fearful about it.

You gotta paint that sucker. He will look great. Must be an unreleased scene from Macross the First!

Bbrain, Great collection. Saburo's pics always look better than the real thing! Amazing photography. Derex, nice paint job on that Kamjin. I wish i had those skills and not five thumbs.

Cool.

I just realized, I wish the Cannon Fodder had a gun strap.

I wonder if this will sell out or warm the shelves a bit? For you guys in Japan, are the HM-R VF-1s still easy to find like the Regults, or marked up at a premium price?
