    Try the sing an inexpensive acrylic paint. If you take the head to Micheal’s there is a cheap paint that actually matches. I can’t remember the brand but it is there. I think it cost 1.00. Best way to use it is to prime your parts with light gray. Lightly sand. Thin paint down by water 60 parts and paint 40 parts. Apply thin coats with airbrush or hand brush. It will take about five light coats to achieve your desired color. Don’t apply heavy coats or you will have a ton of runs. Use matte coat to finish. Or you can leave as is if desired. Paint is actually pretty resilient.

    Hey Tekering, That is looking pretty awesome. The base toy used is a Takatoku 1/3000 SDF-1. My approach to this was quite different as I used the size of the chest blocks to determine the size I wanted and try and maintain the 1/3000 scale as much possible so it could match the Yamato 1/3000. By using this method I only needed to extend the booms. But I did reshape quite a few parts like the Prometheus and Daedelus hulls. Reworked the elbows to release per TV and lineart capabilities (using magnets and metal parts). Provided an A-stance hip. Added knee joints with 1/55 VF-1 parts. Opened the Daedelus hatch, and added PE parts for the bridge amongst many other custom tweaks. My real goal was to produce a “what if old school modelers during the Takatoku era decided to customize this toy” type of custom. And so I met my goal quite nicely for me and in the process kept the firing mechanisms intact for pew-pew fun. I am really looking forward to another one of your awesome builds! If there is anything I can provide to help I would be happy to do so. Claude - Thank you. I really appreciate you kind acknowledgement.

    I would honestly say it is more than likely. The color scheme of the black valkyrie is pretty nice and it would have been a shame to waste it.

    So glad you found it. I was going crazy looking for it. You sir are a true hero of history.

    Looking good! Looking real good!!

    Excellent color choice!

    Eagerly awaiting your progress. This is going to be a fun WIP.

    According to an MW member on here know as Major Tom said this is the prototype color palette that Hikaru was supposed to use. Because the colors did not look “hero” worthy this color combination was passed on and the grayish-white with red accent color combination was used instead. Hope Major Tom can chime in to validate or elaborate further on the story.

    Why must HG continue to desecrate our childhood memories.

    Working from home does afford some late night building. Time to work on the 1/8000 Zentradi Fleet. The Quedol-Magdomillia should have been printed in two parts instead of one. So, I will be doing some scratch building a bit on these.

    It would be awesome if they got PF treatments. also spotted on their site...they will be releasing the newer Arcadia Display Stand. will the fun never end?!?!
  13. nightmareB4macross
    Definite Pass. If they release a VF-1A CF TV or DYRL then I would only purchase that as my last Bandai DX. Two seater might bring me back but seems highly unlikely they will get produced. The fact that Bandai is not addressing this is not giving me the confidence to support them. This is hard for me to state as I really do like purchasing VF-1(s).

    Impressive as always. Do you have a count of all the HMR you own?
  15. nightmareB4macross
    Wow!!! Amazing set ups. You guys are very creative and unique in your own displays. Bravo everyone!
  16. nightmareB4macross
    I have an extra VF-1A I can dig out and check. Might have to check an Elintseeker, Ostrich, as well as, Strike Valkyries. All of these had stickers. We’re there any other toys like the 1/55s? Maybe JMs that had a sticker as well or were those only stamped. I can’t recall.

    Bummer. That seems to be the normal response as of late. Many companies and individuals are issuing tracking numbers but beyond there control shipments could be delays much more than usual due to the bottleneck effect this is causing. I hope everyone gets their kits.

    From Malaysia. Not sure who manufactured it, but it does have an interesting camouflage.
  19. nightmareB4macross
    Nice. For all those who have the repeated leg armor syndrome this would be an excellent solution to display your VF-1A valkyrie.

    I am in total agreement with on this. There are just way too many inconsistencies with the DX. What makes it worse is when a comparison using the hybrid stylized lineart of the Macross File books or Hasegawa mode sheets is used. Those just make everyone forget how they should actually be shaped. Here are some raw pictures of what the leading edge of the TV VF-1 canopies should be.

    That is good resin. Should last and hold up very well. Awesome work as always!!
  22. nightmareB4macross
    Looks quite good. Does it transform?
  23. nightmareB4macross
    What type or classification?

    So Max decided to take revenge after Milia tried to kill him during their first date at the park. Damn that’s cold.
