  1. I used to have the same exact set. Pretty cool if your a hardcore collector. Wow, that was a long time ago... Personally, you may get $20.00 for it. Fewer people are into Super Deformed type kits.
  2. Didn't your mom teach you it's not nice to tease!!! First you show us vintage kits and then a macross credit card too without our names on it)! Not nice! Play fair...
  3. Alright, it's not 1/72 or "big scale," but I'm building a VC-33 "Mom's Kitchen in 1/200th if anyone cares. I'm tying to cast it in multiple copies for my 1/200th Daedalus. It's a whopping 3" long!
  4. Sorry I can't help you. But I'm also trying to collect what I can in 1/200 scale. I'm really big into the 1/200th items to the point of building a Daedalus in that scale. I've even gone as far as scratchbuilding several aircraft myself. What items in the Gashapon series are there? Thanks for your help!!!
  5. As its been said, scaling is not difficult. Start with what you know. As an avid scratchbuilder, I HIGHLY recomend you start with a virtual grid. You can get one out of most drawing software. 1) Cut and paste what things you do know (even if it's a destroid) 2) Make your calcualtions (eyeball it) by dragging out your Oberth. 3) Give your grid panels a size value to convert it to your model size 4) Take the time and DRAW it (trace what you can)out in the views you can't find 5) Make sure it ALL fits together afterward, paper is cheaper than plastic Then work your way with points of referance. I am building a 1/200th scale Daedalus and ALL of the measurements listed were WRONG!!! There are drawings that clearly show destroids side by side and other details that make it MUCH smaller than what others say. If you can only verify a missle size, put it on the grid and scale it! I built the "Tunny VTOL" solely by the views and size of a standard size airline door! That was before I got my "Macross Pefect Memory Book" only to find all of the beautiful views and details I didn't have before. Guess what, I was on the mark! The key is spending a lot of time on your PC or paper.
  6. FYI, this news is probably outdated for the original people in the thread, but Hobby Fan carries most of his line. Wether or not they have it in stock is another thing... Just do a search under "Macross" (imagine that).
  7. I'm building a complete 1/200th scale Daedalus (interior included) and am looking for detailed pictures. I have the "Macross Perfect Memory" book and was wondering if there are any other pictures or referances you guys might have out there. Translations in english would be great too. I've got all my model kits ready to go for it including 1/200 Phalanx's in resin. Whatever advice or direction you may have would be great. Rough dimesions are going to be 6' long, 12" wide, and 12" high.
