THAT’s an HMR squadron I WANT!

Awesome. Didn’t he design the large Bike//Tank in Pandora?

Dayamn!!

@Seto Kaiba I believe is correct on that point, concerning the mob that oversees Kawamori San’s Lead. As far as how “hands on”. I believe Kawamori San is very hands on, once he’s given approval and stays within the holy trinity . I know he’s stuck to his guns on certain writing aspects and ideas,such as the repressed memory concept Guld was suffering from in M+. And even the design of Sharon apple, as it didn’t seem too appealing to the rest of the production crew..I’m sure , as he’s said, Kawamori has many more ideas for Macross. Let’s see how much they are affected by these changing times..

Those look pretty cool as is Hope you make a speedy recovery

Where’s the downvote button! Just kidding Noel Hey, that last thread is awesome, I hadn’t seen it before.

This is what I fear..

Good point. The idol dollar is already in place in Japan. Out west though..it might be selling more models..I don’t see Walkure taking the world by storm. But who knows , maybe all these millennials will gobble it up I’ve read this as well. Which has left me with the impression, Kawamori San isn’t really pulling the strings so much as being told where and how to focus his ideas.. I’m not sure ( but I really don’t know) Kawamori San is writing his own checks.. So then he gets approached by Chinese money and does Pandora..

Looking awesome Capn’

I’m trying to imagine Macross no longer being an obscure franchise no ones heard about.. And is HG part of the reason Macross hasn’t (yet) gone full saturation bombing lame anime , sell,sell,sell models.. Like that other long time franchise we all love... Are we gonna regret our big ape finally getting off skull island..? If anything, easy access to everything Macross that’s come before, and nice subs , will be much welcomed. But how much is this ( hg stranglehold finally falling off) going to change the shape of Macross to come..?

Been a month. Starting to have more time. Filling and sanding the joint at the vertical stabilizer.. Ever so slight gap remaining between the fuselage and side thrusters.. Mark areas to be cut with pencil and start hacking.. Until it’s good.. then a little sanding and see how it looks.. And a little more Tamiya putty in a few tiny holes and voids..

Hella..

That would be very cool

If the NHK survey is anything to go by, I would guess Roy’s VF-1S would be next.It was actually #5 while Hikaru’s was #6..And Hikaru’s VF-1J was #10. Of course Bandai released the 1J well before the survey. But I’m sure they have a clue what’s popular. Then again, who says Bandai cares about the NHK survey..

I’d like to hear more about the new Godzilla flick . How was The King of Monsters received in his home land..?

Umm.. OMG! The VF-11 looks great! Good job navigating those instructions. Hasegawa & REPPTU clearly have different ideas of what 1/72 is..as well as what’s line art accurate.. I hope you can replace or modify all those joints easily enough.

This is better.. So is this..!

Agreed. But one can look upon a distant star, and hope..

It’s time for the VF-24 to make an appearance.. NUNS answer to all the wanna be’s

Awesomeness

Looks great!

+1..

Good news indeed!

Is that toy in need of “renewal” already?
