It looks like it's a combination of the WF kit and the Salzo kit.

Get Blappy to cast it. He's been working miracles with clear resins.

ho-ley shiznit! Given the current cost of an original that's a steal.

Have you checked into PCS Engineering for printing? They make Shapeways look like cardboard cutouts.

Tamiya is being forced to relabel thanks to the state of California deciding that otherwise we might drink it or some such. Just a re-label which has been slow due to the way the bureaucracy works. It's on it's way back, basic colors are coming back in, which is good as I'd run out of flat black and flat white.

MM acryl doesn't brush as well as Tamiya. For hand work I use Vallejo.

You can get paints via UPS or Fedx, just not the US post office. They came down hard on any amounts of liquids. It used to be that model & art sized paint containers were exempt but not any more.

Well it's not Macross but it is Ma.K-ross

Been working on 3 projects @ once. Ma.K Nutrocker, SU-100 and Gundam Physalis.

This is just the Nut.

One trick I learned is do the camo dark to light. Yes, it's backwards but it's so much easier masking the relatively small dark gray areas then spray medium gray etc...

Wonder Festival in Japan as opposed to Wonderfest in Kentucky.

Yeah, that'd be sweet to have...

Time & effort? The tape doesn't apply itself

Yes, but unless you're willing to buy a huge amount of those sheets, it's cheaper to just cut up Tamiya tape. That's what Erin did on the F-16 seen above.

and as a note, he did it twice. Didn't like the look of the first one so he stripped it and did it all again.

Or go to the art store & get some purple ink http://www.dickblick.com/products/iwata-com-art-airbrush-colors/

More, including construction pics, here.

Congrats on your win, that's a beautiful build.

Great Models has some: http://www.greatmodels.com/~smartcart/cgi/display.cgi?item_num=TAM87064

Cool... now we just need that 1/350 Macross (@ some 11 feet in length)

Are they members here?

Not here. Give me a bit and I'll find their email addresses.

Or... you could go all out and check with http://www.cartograf.com/

I can actually re-do the artwork, no problem. What I'd really need is someone who can do excellent quality printing from a Corel Draw X4 file.

For that you'll need someone like JT or JBot.

I'd be more than happy to re-build the decals in return for a discount.

1/72 styrene Monster.

You know you want it.

You know you do.

Robb, why did i imagine you stamping your feet, turning circles and flailing your hands when i read that...

well... you have seen me when I get excited about PE.

It looks like Hasegawa will be releasing 1/48 photo-etch upgrades for the VF-1 and YF-19:

OMG!OMG!OMG!OMG!OMG!

I must have those!

Damn.... any chance of third run?

Wow! Beautifully done.

one of these, as soon as i get around to buying it...

Just be warned, they're one of the worse engineered kits I've ran across in a long time.

Well done to all.

Ter's Valks looked beautiful.
