Now THIS isn't something you see everyday these days! Old-school custom resin parts for 1/55 Valks on ebay! (not mine). I can't remember who did the heads? Chris Barretta? Jung Chao? Fulcy hips? TAKATOYS nose cone! this is SO OLD SKOOL! I know these are listings, but posting here for nostalgia sakes. Prices are pretty high though. I actually still have most of these parts in my own stash:

Someone broke my BP8 when they attempted to transform my valkyrie without permission. Is there any replacement BP8 parts these days? Original, recast, or shapeways perhaps?

wasn't there a replacement parts junker thread somewhere here? or someone was recasting it (though not sure if a resin version would be strong enough)? I need that fixed on mine too.

I am very interested in the 1/55 strike valk. Got pics?

And also, if you still want the q-rau kit I finally took pics:

pm me if you're still intersted

I noticed recently that I am lacking the Kawamori Macross Design Works. If you have one REASONABLY priced I would be interested.

Also, I am still looking for the 1/72 Club M Queadluun-Rau.

Thanks,

Mike

I have that Q-rau kit. Complete and unbuilt. PM me with an offer.

Both are mistransformed.

That's funny; When I saw the new Powerglide mistransformed with the wings angled outward like that, it immediately reminded me of when I was a kid and it REALLY BUGGED me that the promo pics for the original G1 Powerglide were ALSO MISTRANSFORMED exactly the same way in the original G1 CATALOGUE!

Looks like Hasbro is remaining true to it's classic line, even in the way they mistransform Powerglide, lol:

Also, personally, I like the G1 Powerglide Jet proportions WAAY better than the new one, particularly the longer wingspan. The new one is a bit stubby. Also, for some reason, this new version reminds me of a VF-4 in bot mode.

I can't wait to add the new Revoltech Rodimus to my Hot Rod/Rodimuii collection ....

Is that tiny HotRod on the left the one that comes with Star Convoy?

Bulkhead reminds me of a Sharkticon

and also that guy named "Crunch" from the MIGHTY ORBOTS:

Thats not bad at all. Did you do the line art as well, or was this just a coloring job?

Yeah, that's my line art. I used a fan-made paint program at KUPIKA.com to draw this Prime. You can see an animated MOVIE showing how I drew it at:

http://kupika.com/animoekaki.php?id=c47a2b5b9bc2f9asqg3n

I'm just learning how to draw on computer; I never really have until now. That website has little 10 year olds that draw like seasoned pros. Check out their artworks (mostly anime girls). I am at awe in the wake of their talents. I wish I could draw like them.

My Prime isn't really accurate to the cartoon. It's just how I remember parts of Op from my head. I know I think the forehead vent thing is too big, the helmet is inaccurate, and there's too much "face" space around his eyes or something. And I don't even know if his ears (antennae) are right. I can't ever remember if Prime has one set or two sets of antennae. This attempt at G1 Prime from my head isn't accurate; cuz I've never bothered to learn G1 Prime officially. Lazy.

I've honestly never painted with computer before. Here's my first try at good ole' Optimus:

I know it's amateurish, but I had fun making it

how did you stick the gbp shoulder armor on? tape? haha

Better than tape, actually: I used Gravity and Static Friction! (It's just resting on top like that, lol).

eh, these toy prices are nuthin compared to pre-yamato days....

I remember when you were lucky to get a genuine macross chunky monkey for $300. Supers went upwards of $800. Strikes at $1000. Ostrich's and Elints at $3000! Heck, even if you settled for a joons, at least $100, or around $200 or more for a Jetfire.

For what you get now in features and detail, and the much much lower price, you're gettin off easy!

But, alas, cheaper may they be, the hole in my pocket feels your pain.

Behold, the Macross!

If only I had had a decent camera and paint program back then. I was using the equivelent to a crappy camera phone for hardware, and edited on crappy trial paint program that reduced picture quality when you clicked "save" (to force you to buy the full version that didn't reduce quality). I was running Windows 3.1 at the time. eek!

The toys above are all gone now, with exception for the 1990 reissue. I miss taking pics like that. The digicam I have now doesn't let me take close-ups of toys.

Just for fun, a GBP Armoured VF-1J (Joons) in fighter mode:

Takatoku Super VF-1S:

Custom Strike:

When my old site went down I thought I lost all my pictures. Lucky me, I was diggin through old CDs and found my long-lost archives! Ahh, those were the days.

Gotta give my custom 1990 reissue some love:

Check out the custom pilot from the master Jung Chao:

Gotta love (or hate) that 1990 VF-1S head. Me likey!

Enjoy. I'll post more once in a while. Later, MW.

Much Luv.

Oh, and Happy New Year!

well at least I know it wasn't just me. For a minute there I thought I was being a bad daddy to my little valk babies.

I wonder now, though, if the 1/48's will ever yellow. Obviously different grade plastic, but still I wonder. (hope not!)

Here's are some from episode 15.

I LOVE that episode. Especially later (I think the same episode) when Milia flies in with her beautiful red VF-1J.

I may be wrong, but I think that may be the only post SDFMacross series that feature old skool mecha (besides the VF-1 victim in MacPlus). I could be wrong though. (and I'm not counting the modified space whaling Ostrich and other VF's in Mac7 Dynamite.

Lol, Valkyrie sidecar.

also,

Valkyrie Chaperone Seat.

Valkyrie Backseat Driver Seat.

or,

Valkyrie Mother-in-law Seat.

And when you run out of missiles to fire, you learn the true meaning of "Kamekaze" lol.

The only difference I know of between Roy's DYRL VF-1S and the one seen in SDF:M is the color of the arrows on the head unit. Still, it might be worth it if they included a Roy figure in his SDF:M flightsuit. It would also be nice to have another valk packaged with the standard TV-style FAST packs for those who didn't buy the Super Hikaru set.

IF they release Roy's VF-1S as a TV scheme, they should not only include a tv Purple Roy figure, but also, if they release TV fast packs, the fast packs should come with a TV Hikaru (since he's the one that actually flies the fast pack version).

Wouldn't that be cool to be able to display the original Skull Leader with purple roy at it's command? And then later replace pilot with TV Hikaru and TV fastpacks? That'd look so cool. I haven't done a search, but I wonder if anyone has customized their 1/48 Roy with TV packs and a TV Hikaru? (hint: pics pls, anyone).
