Definitely cool!

I wish I could have attended.

Yeah, definitely not cheap!

I saw it, and knew I couldn't live without it.

The question became whether to get (4) Yamato 1/48 valkyries with armor, or (1) Gundam kit.

I guess I'm a little bored with VF-1 repaints, so I went for the limited edition Gundam kit.

I don't think I'll ever meet anyone else that has one, so that makes it worth something to me. Plus it will definitely make one hell of a conversation piece.

Hello,

For all of the Gundam fans out there, here are some pictures of G-Systems latest release, and future project for me.

It's is a limited edition release, and the detail is amazing. My kit should be on it's way by the end of this week.

Looks like it's going to be a pretty large kit, and it has over (300) parts.

Definitely one of my favorite designs.

lets get over it folks....already...a thousand time over....

i think its great and all i care about is that its a durable high quality toy with a reasonable price tag(lets not go there folks).

people keep talking about scales like you guys were actually playing with this stuff. who cares if its not to scale with all the other valks? are you making a movie or diorama using all your valks and everything else yamato releases?

if you think its a cool toy, its cool, if you don't, thats fine too, but to complain about a toy that hasn't hit the market....its completely f-in pointless!

wait, see, hold, then complain, it makes more sense that way and you'll have some "real ammo" to back up your half-assed statements.

on a side note,

boy it sucks to post in this section...its like frakkin revolving door with the same arguements, from the same people, who over analyze everyones posts....over and over again and again and again and again.....

grow the frakk up and argue amongst yourself through PM's since no one here wants to read your pointless repetitive drivel everytime some new comes out.....

and for those of you who are planning to rip into me for my post, you're exactly the members i'm talking about so please bitch away and prove me right!

Thank you for putting into words the thoughts that I'm sure many of us have been thinking.

And you did it so eloquently.

I just purchased (10) Hasegawa valkyries (VF-1S Strike, VF-1A Super, Clear Blue/Red/Green), plus ( Hasegawa Weapon sets.

I placed (2) separate orders, because I decided to buy more than I originally planned, and they even refunded $7.50 to my Paypal account without me even asking them, because they did the right thing and combined shipping.

I received my order on Wednesday, and I placed it on Saturday.

Everything arrived in perfect condition with invoices enclosed.

I give them a (10) Star rating.

Word!

I'm glad you agree, and I hope that other people stick around for the IHP recast as well.

I would hate to see a mass exodus.

isamu_dyson,

I'll add you to the list, but please make sure you are aware of the 1/100 Yamato VB-6 that is pending, rather than contact me later and cancel.

Personally, I am really excited about the IHP recast, and would never cancel because of Yamato's plans, although I am happy that they are also releasing a VB-6.

The IHP will be for display, and the Yamato for play.

Sincerely,

Christopher

Damn, that is sweet looking!

Awesome paint job on both.

Hello,

I like this name better,

"Black Monkey Nuggets Productions"

That's all we need, another monkey "producing" nuggets.

Seriously though, I would hate to see the all of the work Noel did so far, not come to fruition.

Sincerely,

Christopher

Boobs, what boobs?!

They could have at least "hooked" her up a little bit.

Oh well, thank you for the pictures Anthony.

Damn, I really, really want one now.

Hello,

Great news, thank you Yamato!

I'm still going to get the IHP 1/100 VB-6 recast from Valkyrie. It will be cool to have both, but now I won't feel so pressured to commission someone to build it for me.

If anyone is considering cancelling, please let me know via PM once you've thought about it a little bit and decided for sure.

Sincerely,

Christopher

Mervin,

Great job!

I like the large booster nozzles.

Are you planning to make a booster antennae for one side?

Check out this picture:

Sincerely,

Christopher

Will you adopt me?

Damn, I wish I had (7) Max valkyries!

Congratulations! You lucky bastard.

Devin,

Wow!

Wonderful job!

You have mad skills dog.

Sincerely,

Christopher

Hello,

Thank you to everyone that posted and provided assistance.

I went ahead and ordered (1) of each color, but I only want them for the decal sheets.

I think that the color is officially considered "red," because "pink" is technically too effeminate for a Macross valkyrie.

Still, it looks pink to me, but then perhaps I spent too much time in Southern California, where I was exposed to all of their damn rainbow flags.

Sincerely,

Christopher

Hello,

Does anyone have a scan, link or a picture of the decal sheet included with these (3) valkyries from Hasegawa.

Did all (3) come with the same decal sheet?

I would like to buy them for the decal sheet only, but I have not been able to locate a picture of the decal sheet.

The advertisement mentions different squadrons, and I know the Enigma is one of them, but...

HLJ has nothing listed, I called several stores that had them in stock, but the boxes come shrinkwrapped, and a MW search and review of the main "Model" page yielded no information, so I'm posting as a last resort.

Thank you in advance for any assistance provided,

Christopher

Ken,

Allright, I guess I learned something new today.

Thanks,

Christopher

Ken,

Looks great!

I always thought the correct term was "countersunk" holes. They are used a lot on the external surfaces of airplanes so that aerodynamics are not impeded by additional resistance created due to raised attachement devices.

Regardless, it's all semantics, and I'm glad you figured out a way to do it.

Sincerely,

Christopher

Felix,

It's great to see you're still around, even if it's only every now and then!

I'm glad that I got to meet you that one time and hang out, even if it was only for a short amount of time.

If you have time, please respond to the PM and e-mail I sent you a while back.

Due credit to the first MW member to make a hexagon pattern camouflage custom, and I still regret giving you the 1/55 you made for me.

Sincerely,

Christopher

Kurt,

You do great work, and you should be proud of your accomplishment!

Who gives a damn about the numbering, these are custom valkyries, and should be unique.

When we become so anal about a cartoon then we are failing to see the big picture, and that is (3) beautiful valkyries. Some of the nicest I've seen by the way.

Gene,

Congratulations, and I'm glad you decided to not to ask Kurt to change the numbers on Max.

I continue to be very envious of your collection.

Best wishes my friend!

Sincerely,

Christopher

Ken,

Wow!!!

Thank you very, very much for sharing your trials and tribulations with us.

I never knew or truly appreciated the amount of work involved, and I'm so glad that you took this project on!

You rock dude!

Sincerely,

Christopher

Hello,

Thank you for everyone's help! I appreciate it on behalf of the project.

Don't worry, Fulcy will employ a method so that no ones 1/48 Yamato has to be modified, except maybe my own, but that is fine with me.

I would love to see the screen capture.

Sincerely,

Christopher

......be the second 1/72 production don't forget the 1/72 QF-9000 will be out before the booster.

Quite true...I forgot about that one too...it is almost finished. (Just got caught up in the excitement of the booster I guess.) Hopefully soon I can post pics of that as well.

Rob

Hello Rob,

Forgive me if I am mentioning something obvious, such as the fact that both designations refer to the same aircraft.

Your website references the following:

CURRENT PROJECTS:

1. Tactical Pod Regult - Resin Kit - Possibly 1/100 Scale - Completeion Date: ?

2. VF-1 Atmospheric Booster - 1/72 - Pending Project - Completion Date: June - August 2004

3. QF-3000 Ghost (TV Version) - 1/72 - Completeion Date: May - June 2004

Grayson72 mentions a QF-9000, and your post follow his made no corrections, so I was not sure which is being released by you.

A search for "QF-9000" brings up nothing, but a search for "QF-3000" brings up quite a bit.

Thank you in advance,

Christopher

Hello,

Definitely interested.

I'm really glad that this project is happening!

Thank you Rob.

I'll take at least (2).

Sincerely,

Christopher

I don't have the book on hand, but IIRC the fins fold in while the armor is on.

Hello EXO,

I'm still curious about the mystery of the folding fin? Does it fold, or doesn't it?

If you could post that picture you mentioned discussing with Fulcy, it will be appreciated.

Of course whether the fin is able to fold in the anime, will have no bearing on this project, because we won't be modifying anyone's 1/48, but it will explain some questions we have.

Sincerely,

Christopher
