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

1/285 Valkyries, Destroids, Zentraedi Available now
MechTech replied to DestroidDefender's topic in Model kits
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 -
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

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

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
-
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

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
-
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
-
That sounds cool, it might be a good idea! Thanks!-MT

The Tomcat came out great! I wonder if that Esci Harrier is the MPC Harrier? Looks like it. A friend and I built those like 35 years ago! We loved the rocket pods and 1000 pounder bombs. They had Falklands War artwork on them (not long after the war too).-MT

Hey guys, catching up on threads. If you're talking about the 1/350th kits, let me know. Tundrayeti is casting them, but things going on in his life and mine have delayed release. - MT
-
Thank you Aaajin, but I'm not familiar with that software. Can you expound on that? Below FREEZING weather is delaying any painting for the moment.- MT
-
Thank you guys AGAIN for the great compliments! I'm glad to see her basically done! Here's some more pictures. The plan is to compile the photos and some video into a movie and post it up on youtube. I'm also hoping Hobby Japan is still interested in a story just for the cool factor(after drooling over others builds all these years). The elevator is almost fixed for the THIRD TIME and if you sing "I like big butts..." while viewing the stern shots it helps!:-) Next I gotta get some professional shots and ship this baby off. Take care everyone!-MT

Looks awesome! Congrats on another great kit-MT

He was THE reason there were cool shows to watch on TV when I was a child! I think my wife seconds that too! Thanks for some cool shows Mr. Larson and RIP.- MT

Thanks for sharing guys! I got L70 a couple months ago and thought its time to add some Macross! - MT
-
Thanks for the updates, I like it!!! - MT

Thanks a million guys! I loaded a video of the bridge radars spinning and the lights lit, but it doesn't take for some reason. Looks like the default camera is going to be my phone now. It doesn't warp the photos of the ship at length like my old one did. EXO, if you could load those videos, that would be great! Off to go fix the paint! Taker care guys! - MT

Hey everyone, FINALLY an update! A lot has happened since my last post! We moved to a great house that almost completely flooded out thanks to a stupid toilet valve, then we roughed it for a month while the house was rebuilt "like it never happened" and I'm transitioning from one career to another. All that has left little time (and money) for my hobbies. The good news, parts that have been sealed away since 2006 to be re-assembled onto the Daedalus have been cracked opened like Tuts tomb (feels that ancient too)! The props had some minor oxidation on them which cleaned up easy (photo) and all the parts went together well despite paint being applied. Most paint except for the radars and touch-ups is done. Decals are done and only one elevator needs repainting after the finish orange peeled (but nothing else did!?). These are phone photos which seem to stop the warping our camera causes. A few more photos will come with the final fixes. I hope you enjoy them.-MT

Thanks, I thought it was the Valhalla frigate. I almost got it just for the cool tiny fighters! - MT
