I would pass them on to my future child(ren), and hope they would could appreaciate them just as much as I do, if not more.

Wow. Those are some nice pieces.

A,B,C...easy as 1,2,3. A,B,C... 1,2,3... Baby you and me!!!

Would you mind if I take a look at them? I have a couple of recast nosecones from Jung (revised with pilot and sleeker nose). I would like to compare the two.

I just can\\\\\\\'t get over the fact that Yamato has decided to sway from the original Macross line-up. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Yamato, Yamato what\\\\\\\'s next? Desert camo? Hi viz? C\\\\\\\'mon Yamato, wake up!!! We still want: 1. DYRL - Kakizake 2. TV - Max 3. TV - Kakizake 4. TV - Alaska Base VF-1 5. TV - Angel Birds 6. TV - Black Ops, seen in one episode briefly 7. TV - VF-1J in CF Colors I mean is it really so difficult to stick to classics? Angel Birds would be one of the coolest and, IMHO, a best seller. Who wouldn\\\\\\\'t want to own at least five and have them diplayed in V flight formation? I know the cost to create the VT-1, VE-1, and VF-1D would be rather expensive, but at least listen to MW members for what they really want. Yamato, Nice job on the new LV V2, and the Stealth. Still I want the classics...THE REAL GOODS, THE REAL DEAL. Make it happen.

noob.

Yeah, die laughing!!

Refer to this TOPIC.

At least Yamato is trying. I for one am not fond of the VF-1A LV2, it looks odd. The VF-1J Stealth is a bit appealing, but looks like someone just customized a valk with matte colors. Valk Stand Chrome - I like it. It would work well with a shelf that has a mirrored background. The stand would seem to dissapear and the valk would appear to be in flight. Valk Stand Black - Same as chrome, just a black background. I like it.

Has there been a definitive decision on where the Con will be held?

There\'s a FanArt section????

Hey kanata67, How\'s it going? Are these going to be vaccum-formed or styrofoam? What kind of expense are we looking at. If the price is reasonable, I\'m there. NB4M

I\'d say you offer em up like Neova does and people go where they want. First one to get em shrunk to a 1/48 size gets my money, don\'t want no baseball mits for hands... 373186[/snapback] Actually, I will be doing exactly the same as Neova. Only difference is, he is handling the Eastern hemisphere and I\'ll do the west. We\'re still working out a few kinks on this.

If you live anywhere near a Micheal\'s or Walmart, you get those file for about the same price without shipping. The files are known as jeweler\'s files. Also in either of the two stores, you can find pin vises and hobby knife sets. Just go take a stroll through the stores and look around. You\'ll find lots of great stuff.

I would say that depends on how you use the bolt and nut method. If you use a washer and a lock pin the nut could be locked into place while the ram pivots on the washer. Also, a longer and wider thread pitch would help. If want to add strenght without to much weight, you can also try carbon fiber rods. Threading the rods can be done by adding a threaded sleeve. If you try to tap thread on carbon fiber, you\'ll just thrash it.

How about a nut and bold assembly? I think it is very possible to insert a nut in the arm cannon and a bolt through the arm assembly. It would make it easy to disassemble and you wont have to worry about how stong the magnets should be.

Wow, nice job on the details. Loving that clean look.

You got it.

Official order thread is here 1/48 GBP Hands & Side Covers Please PM me with your needs or wants. NB4M

Congrats, murmin!! 1. Married, with our first child on the way. WOOHOOO!! 2. Buy what I like. I would like to buy all the 1/48s, but I can\'t justify to myself having all those variants when I already have them in 1/55. Besides, to me 1/55 is still king and always will be. But, I MIGHT consider buying the new LV and Stealth. 3. I work way too much...you can ask the people who know me. I don\'t do it to buy stuff, I just do it not to be bored. Idle hands are the devil\'s playground.

Isn\'t June 17-18, Father\'s Day Weekend? I think a few of the members might not be able to attend it the Con is held on that weekend.

I'm still hunting for a sure way of shrinking the molds. In the meantime, please PM me with your requests. Thanks, NB4M

You can see there is a ball-joint in the center of the hand, but this cannot be done with only resin and a ball-joint. A polycap has to inserted inside the small block piece located closest the wrist. Without the ball-joint and polycap working together, the pieces would just flop around. The other option is to cast this as one piece so not ball-joint or polycap is needed. It is basically the TV fat hands style. CLICK HERE for further GBP details and review.

Those are some nice pics. Especially with the VF-1, Strike/Super Armour, and GBP, all laid out.

Well here's the deal. I finally got the 1/48 GBP. I took a look at the side covers and the hands. I will be pouring the molds, tomorrow. - Side covers can be done for $10.00 per set. Let me know if you want the stock grey or valk white color for the side covers. At this time I cannot provide the M&M red or blue. I will let you know when these are available. Low Viz Coming Soon. - Hands WITHOUT the ball-joints and polycaps $15.00. - Hands WITH ball-joints and polycaps $20.00. This is due to the balll joint having to be inserted, as well as, a poly cap to keep things tight. I will see if HLJ has these available and let you guys know when these are ready for ordering. Shipping in N America, S. America, Hawaii, and UK...please PM me. All others please contact Neova, he is handling the eastern hemisphere. Minimum required order $20.00, without shipping.
