    The paint and mods look awesome! - MT

    That's too bad, we were just watching him on season 8 of MASH - "Heal Thyself" as the doctor with PTSD. RIP! - MT

    After some major surgery I could not lift anything for a month (which meant waiting to lift and fix the Daedalus gearbox). So I worked on the Bugeye Recon kit. More in another thread when complete.

    Looks great! The LEDs are a great touch along with the hoses and thumbs up pilot! - MT

    The destroyer looks good! I have those four kits too and love them. I'm just too attached to build them:-) - MT

    2014 was a great year for me. FINALLY finished the Daedalus (only to have the main hatch gearcase blow), completed kit masters to the 1/350th Spartan, Monster and Regult, then almost finished the 1/350th Bugeye Recon kit - will remedy that today. I think Jefuemon wins the most kits made award and Mommar most bodacious for eating a cheesecake! Some great releases coming up this year...- MT

    I'm not online much, so slow to this thread, but Happy New Year! Hopefully it brings us some great Macross Kits! (That seems to be more realistic than world peace ;-) - MT

    Boss, the Glaug came out good, especially for a first big build. Derex, I like that primer and finished the Daedalus with it. When it comes to weather, humidity is hard to get around. But with the cold, I find rattle cans are alright to spray even near freezing outside. Then I just bring them inside to dry in a closet or the laundry room. Chyll, the dying came out better than what I've seen elsewhere. Just tell everyone you meant to make it look camo'ed ;-) - MT

    The X-47 Looks great! Looks just like the real thing I got to see. The Yamato looks great too. I'm hoping to get going on mine SOON!- MT

    Oh the boxers are TOOOOooo funny. Yeah, the sparkly effect is what I'm goin for and fixing the amber color cabin lights. Maybe I could make another set to go with the boxers...;-) -MT

    I'm good, thanks for asking though! -MT
  13. MechTech
    Awesome! I believe you've captured the lineart perfectly! If only my current budget allowed for it...-MT

    Thanks for posting those photos! Godzilla and the Yamato together- that about summarizes two of the cooler shows my family likes (next to Macross of course)! So the windows are backlit green! I've got the Bandai 1/350th model I'm hoping to hit over Christmas break. Of course the amber LEDs will be wrong. I'm also trying to take some fiber optics and a light board from an ornament to try and produce the tachyon effect when the gun charges. I tried putting the fibers up to the clear part, but it's hard to mount them. Drilling little holes will make "shadows" when the exhsiting LEDs are "fired" off from the ship. If you guys got any ideas or suggestions let me know! - MT

    I LOVED the Orguss kits that Revell distributed. I loved the Orgroid most because it was the only transformable kit that didn't need parts swap. Just keep searching Ebay for now regarding models: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=orgus+models&_from=R40&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xorguss+models&_nkw=orguss+models&_sacat=0 At least there's one up there for only $40 - that's great. - MT

    Thanks for the update. Too bad it's not 1/350th (no we're never happy with whatever scales others are working on around here) - MT
  17. MechTech
    So I go to make some last checks on the main hatch and the who dang gearcase assembly explodes! I rebuild it and the motor dies. So I replaced it with a bigger motor - which also dies! The next day I had surgery and knew I'd be out of it for a couple weeks. So what am I thinking about in recovery? You guessed it, "stupid gearcase!" Photos to come later.-MT

    It came out great Derex. Who says big can't be beautiful!-MT
  19. MechTech
    Nice save on the decals Derex, it looks great! This isn't the Macross-Star Trek cross-over thread is it? Just noticing your test in the background;-) -MT

    I like the weapons being molded in color-easier to finis off. Thanks for sharing.-MT

    I agree with Vifam's reccomendation. I think the brands got confused in a couple posts, but the Bandai VF-19 is A good springboard kit. I've had a couple. They do snap together and transform, but require parts change to do so. They have stickers versus decals and polycap joints and landing gear of the same material. Just my two cents...-MT
  22. MechTech
    Awesome build!!! I like the clean lines and painted markings. I too am going to have to build my old Macross kit-it's not right being a fan and not having one on the shelf!-MT
  23. MechTech
    Thank you for your interest! The kits will hopefully come out end of December or January. There's been various delays. Since your message is here, I'll contact you when available.-MT
  24. MechTech
    That's funny! THANKS GUYS! Working on making up a crate and videoing everything before parting with my baby! Got some professional shots done this past weekend and contacting Hobby Japan to see if they still want the article.-MT
  25. MechTech
    Thanks Nyankodevice, your SDF build looks great too! I wish I had an enlarging ray so I could connect the Daedalus with your build;-) At least to 1/350th scale, that's what the next builds will be.-MT
