It’s 1/5000 to go with the other Zen ships that were produced by Mr. Mascato.

You saw this monster didn’t ya?

Is that the 1/12 scale model??!! Wow that looks great! I modified this 3D print to hold my sons Star Wars Hotwheels cars.

OH that is SAWEET!!! Nice job!!!

Yeah I wanna see her in her valk!

Well I’m sure I could be persuaded to make them in that scale too. That’s the beauty of starting with digital.

That's coming out nice! That looks really difficult. Nice to see another SB Yamato fan here. I'm working on making this Murasame class so I can print it in 1/350 scale to go along with my other ships.

Is that based on the EDF Borodino?

That’s looking fantastic!

Ack! The blue tube WAS useless along with grey tube of Testors putty. At some point they wouldn’t let me buy the orange tube by myself anymore and needed my parents there to authorize such hazardous purchase lol.

That stuff still has its uses and makes a very strong bond because it chemically melts the plastic together. If I’m gluing something together that I know is gonna have to be filled and sanded anyway I glop this stuff on so there’s less filling to do. I’ve been using it since 1978 lol

Hey thanks MT, I’ll let ya know when I dig out the kit to test it.

Nice! We have the same printer!

I got to a point were I could hookup the lights on the thing and have it interact with the remote control but the remote wouldn’t work with it. When I plugged in the lights they’d flash on for a bit like the instructions say they should but then the remote wouldn’t work. I actually have an entire set of Space Battleship Yamato kits in 1/350, including a very rare 1/350 Andromeda and one from Wonderfestival called the Fuyutsuki Destroyer in 1/350. I bought all the other 1/350 ones from AMP when they were still being produced except for the Lexington class Battlecarrier. Waited too long for it, broke my own rule on that one.

I started the 1/350 with all the whistles and bells but I got to a part where the electronics weren’t working so I gave up and put it away.

Great summary of the molding process. Thanks for the pics!

Hi everyone, just so you all know, everyone including myself has contributed to this Macross collection list in the hopes that this would be a list that would be freely offered to all here at Macrossworld and the rest of the Macross community. However I received this message from ChristopherB intending to recoup his time and effort. While this is fine I think he should have been up front about his intentions in the first place prior to soliciting pictures and input from our community here, then they could choose to participate knowing the ultimate end goal. This is his response when I asked him when he was going to post the list here on Macrossworld. “Now you know if I post the list to the MW Model Section, (5) people if I'm lucky will even say thank you. Now I'm not doing this for accolades, but I want it to be seen by as many people as possible and appreciated. When someone like John Moscato spends let's say 50 hours making a resin kit, he can sell each one for $200+. This MCML is (15) years of saving website links, pictures of kits, research and more than 1,500 hand typed entries full of details, with links and we're working on adding pictures for each. Plus hundreds of emails sent to people like you, Shawn, Carl, John and twenty five other people. Creating threads/posts for people to submit pictures and lists, etc. That means every kit in my collection as well as others has to be carefully photographed in high resolution to include box art, contents, decals, etc. Then edited and saved to a folder for organization. I've invested (10) times 50 hours at the least, plus I've paid out of pocket for assistance with research and typing. Now I didn't start this for monetary gain, but time is money and knowledge has value. The MCML also something that will need regular updates as we continue to see releases from Bandai, Hasegawa, etc. With that said there are several ways to go forward. I could offer permanent access to the spreadsheet for a one time fee/donation. I could sell the list to a Macross website where it could be included hosted thereby enhancing their resources and attracting Macross model kit collectors. Finally another option would be to approach a publishing company and have something made up with it organized in alphabetical order and accompanying pictures of the kits and them completed versions. Imagine something like the Hobby Japan MOOK Model Mechanics Collection.“

The cell shade painting is really amazing but for me it's hard to look at because my brain can't resolve what the heck I'm looking at. Is it real or cartoon? I have to go lie down now...

That is so cool! Thank you for sharing, it is very impressive.

I can print in white with my laser printer now if anyone needs decals.

It’s not wrong, but you are going to hell lol

Sweet! I want a 1/32 kit of this baby!

Don’t be ridiculous, it’s right here (holds out empty hand) wait... where’d it go?

OMG! I feel so much better about the size of my stash now! Thank you!!!
