    Will it be a toy or a model kit? I'd buy that for a dollar!

    Thanks for sharing... not very practical, but interesting shapes!

    Does anyone have colour lineart of the "Super" crotch piece for the VF-25G? It just looks so out of place, it looks like cheap plastic with no markings and so out of place with the rest of the colour scheme - its the only part with that kind of grey. Does anyone else feel this way, its not like the VF-25S Armored crotch piece which looks like the rest of the extras parts - this one feels like an afterthought.

    Gorgeous falcon Derex - is that the expensive custom plexiglas cover from Fine Molds or did you get it elsewhere?

    Anyone in the L.A. area interested, there is a gallery opening with the Art of Pacific Rim that we produced in the art department as well as conceptual pieces during pre-production. http://www.gnomongallery.com/next.php

    Yes, I love Fine Molds. I have the 1/72 scale version along with just about every resin / photoetched detail upgrade ever produced for it. It is one of my many retirement projects!

    Wow! Simply wow, thanks for sharing... I've been out of the Star Wars modeling front for quite a few years now, but this would be a "holy grail" model-kit for me someday. I love the timeless classic design and I love the "loaded with greebies" ships of the 80's.

    Thanks, wow, over $500, that's too rich for my blood, let's hope Fine Molds makes one soon (with all the detail of course, not like how Moebius skimped on the detail translating the Galactica from the TimeSlip resin)

    Wow!!! What kit is that?

    You can get your Alto renewal re-release here; http://www.nippon-yasan.com/lang-en/macross/4884-macross-f-dx-chogokin-vf-25f-messiah-valkyrie-saotome-alto-custom-renewal-version-reissue.html But, YES! Where's the Ozma re-release!!! (I even have the armour waiting - and all matte clear-coated and weathered already...)

    That's what I thought too... taken in isolation, I think it looks worst. However everything else looks better (except for the glossy finish).
  12. wm cheng
    Wow! Um... he's happy to see you.
  13. wm cheng
    Wow! That's detailed and nicely painted too for a toy...
  14. wm cheng
    I wish!!! - I just want to get to weathering my VF-25A and VF-25G renewals...
  15. wm cheng
    Beautiful! Thanks Mommar... can't wait, the grey Super Packs really helps to tone down the mint.
  16. wm cheng
    Are the Tamiya kits 1/72 or 1/48? Can't wait to see what you do with them.
  17. wm cheng
    Exact same boat... Looking forward to MacrossJunkie's pictures soon to tie me over...
  18. wm cheng
    Wow thanks! I never knew about Samuel Decals. How are their whites? Are they opaque? The last 3rd party decals I got from Hong Kong for the 1/60 toys had whites that were so translucent that they weren't even useable.

    NICE! Lets hope they get it right the first time this time... no renewals please. The aircraft mode looks awesome (and that's enough for me!), still on the fence about the battroid though.
  20. wm cheng
    YES! I was never even a fan of the Gerwalk mode until the Bandai Frontier Valks - now I love how they look

    Finally had some time to attach the Super Packs onto my VF-25G. Boy do I have a love/hate relationship to Bandai. The renewal valks look great! My first Super Packs with any renewals and while it looks fantastic, it doesn't seem to lock together as tightly as I thought it would (at least not as tightly as the valk without the packs). Am I missing some trick? I've always thought the Bandai stands are clunky at best, but this threading the giant sniper rifle through the stand attachments was a real chore, especially threading the rear two uprights through around the gun and between the legs. It seems like the entire assembly is resting on the rear uprights, the forward prongs that usually attach themselves into the white piece with the slots in it seems to just be resting on it, the prongs don't seem to actually engage the slots. Did I mis-transform it into aircraft mode or do any of you find the same thing when its on its stand in aircraft mode? I love the way it looks, it just doesn't lend itself easily to taking it off the stand to "swoosh" around, I tend to "swoosh" it around the room with the stand ;-(

    Better not be... its already waaay too thick!
  23. wm cheng
    It could look good glossy (like a show plane) IF that gloss were to be done properly (like a mirror show car finish or baked enamel) and NOT like the cheap Bandai renewals where it shows off every swirl, scrape and scuff with matte tampo printed over the shiny greasy plastic.

    Thanks for all the kudos (sorry to derail the topic) - but I'm always making mistakes (totally screwed up my Cosmo Zero beyond repair), its a learning process each and every time I build a new model. Safe to say, I can't make a living off of it. But thanks for the encouragement.

    And are put on this earth to torture modelers who like to paint their models!
