PLAMAX.

Thanks - that’s exactly what I was after. With the release of the kit, there’s lots of posts on (the site formerly known as) twitter. Here’s all of the product development grabs in one spot:

Related to a potential build…I’ve boom looking at the anime art. Can easily the front view: But not this rear view in colour. Anyone able to help?

Haven’t had the opportunity to go through the parts as much as I’d like to, but two things have caught my attention. 1. there doesn’t appear to be the clip to attach the gun pod to the right forearm that is shown in the D battroid model. 2. there’s no parts for the head forward/seat up that the D is displayed with, or is shown in the show w/the GPB1 configuration. Not unexpected, but still a bit of a bummer.

Another PLAMSX/Hase comparison: And mine just arrived!

Illustration of the leg position.

Interesting mod into a GBP-1 variant.

You’ve just been programmed over the years. Normal service will resume shortly.

Just got my in stock notification for the VF-1J battroid from Hobby Easy.

Painted VF-1D battroid pics now up.

I can’t be the only one that can’t wait to see the -1D painted up in the brown/orange scheme?

Yep, 1D battroid.

Just the Glaug & Gnerl to go!

Here for the inevitable Gnerl speculation:)

Nice artwork on the commander’s hatch cover. Technically should be reversed as surely an Abrams tank is closer to a Destroid?

More work on a scratch printed 1:16 Boxer cavalry reconnaissance vehicle. Just the rough hull shape, at the moment. Here’s the parent design. Lots of work to come.

Already left home for Christmas. I’ll check when I get back in a day or so. Turns out I ordered two! Anyone in Australia looking for one?

Two days from shipping request in Japan to Canberra, Australia! Unboxing. Parts still in their bags, but they are to Hasegawa’s usual standards. Not many more human subjects from SDFM left to model.

More work on my soon-to-be-printed Boxer 8x8: Adding detail to the lower hull in advance of the suspension. The suspension itself promises to be a bit of a journey. Wheels & tyres are just place holders for the moment.

To be fair, I said “good” size, not “correct” size. I take your point, however.

About 10cm/4” taller than the Hasegawa 1/72 VF-1 Battroid. That’s a good size.

@MechTech - quick one, what kit is that French 4x4 vehicle you’ve got there? TIA.

Thanks. I’m using Fusion360.

Got into CAD & 3D printing as my pandemic hobbies. Different way to think, but a useful way of solving kit problems or subject availability. Current project is the 8x8 Boxer combat reconnaissance vehicle slowly being introduced by the Australian Army. Scale will be 1:16.

Not *my* workbench, & I’m unsure whether AVIC used Macross or Yukikaze for their inspiration for this one:
