HLJ Delivery arrived, time to start unpacking. Getting another 3/4 kits in afternoon and will post pictures of contents in evening here and other thread.

Mixed bunch of stuff $320 worth.

I usually use a dark grey or grey for panel lining, too me it looks more realistic as black can be too strong a contrast?

I also do it after applying markings as those also weather.

Next series is Macross AGE.

Vanessa Mae Destiny:

ENIGMA MCMXC a.D. Sadeness translation lyrics:

There was one guy that had most if the Plamo Tsukurou videos uploaded to YouTube but Fuji TV is removing them now.

I don't know if any similar videos in the west, granted there are some like Modelmania(figured kits).

Gundam Episode 1, started today on MXTV.

Nice to see the original again.

For me most of the Toys/Collectibles are too high in Price and not worth it.

Some Items I will pick up while on Sale though.

Also while I like Macross it is not my biggest love or Interest.

Personal feelings.

Those ankles look bad, any idea if they can be replaced with Wave or Kotobukiya ball joints?

Talk Talk.

FLCL(Fooly Cooly) is fun, got the Kaiyodo Vinyl/Resin kit of Canti still in its box unbuilt.

Sunrise actually consists of a few studios so theoretically they could run multiple Gundam series.

Wonder when we get Gundam Thunderbolt those kits are selling well, maybe as an OVA.

OK, back in town again.

For the person that contacted me still need your name, address & total amount so that I can issue the IMO.

Besides getting stuff from my PW on Wednesday I will also hit Yodobashi and Nakano Broadway as I am looking for certain items.

Now do just get through the day tomorrow.

Tip.

Stick the tamiya tape to your shirt first to remove some of the Glue.

For complex shapes I prefer parafilm.

Liquid masking can be tedious.

My orders at hlj usually are packed same day and than overnight delivery.

Guessing is that are busy as many would want their orders shipped before the tax increase.

Diorama 1/250 & Wave 1/12 Powered Suit Phase 1(also got the Phase 2 kit). The Z'Gok will be mounted in a wire(supplied) for a leaping attack.

Lots of sanding to do on the Lot.

Glad to hear, I use a lot of buffalo stuff reasonably priced and easy to setup.

Back from China, decided to skip the Shaolin Trip and come back a day early.

Found a few old Macross kits during trip.

Thee old combining hangar kits and the 4 diorama kits(tile with 1 Valkyrie and a few ground vehicles), both those sets can be combined to make a larger display.

In the afternoon I am back at the workbench, working on a 1/250 Gundam Dio kit.

Tom Petty - Free Fallin':

The M.lover is fairly rare.

Recently bought an 1/40 ORgroid it went for 4200Yen.

All the Orgroid kits are the same with different heads.

Those kits do pop up from time to time, as well as the Ishkick and Ishform.

Ganbare.

Nice buy, I got the same incoming on wednesy. Usually not into toys but picked up a few cutting the recent Macross Sale.

Personally it would enjoy if they do stuff like MS-08th Team but for Macross.

Agree with others, wait till about age 8 or 9.

Myself and others started our kit on building models from age 3-5, fun and can be done as a parent child project.

Good starting points are the SD Gundam, SD Macross, LBX and D-Style kits. They are snap-together, by age 5 my son was building the Keroro Gunso Kits and cheap gunpla, weathering them with Pens.

Those are fairly cheap and I noticed they are more careful with them since they build them themselves.

Yes, you read right.

On April 13th there will be a Parade/Event in Kichijoji & Inokashira Park.

Parade(Cosplay incl.) starts at 12:30 till 14:00.

On the northside(rotunda) will be a 8m Meter 1/1 Replica of a Patlabor, I think it will be the prop from the upcoming life-action movie.

Worthwhile a visit methinks.
