Thank you @wm cheng for the lesson in perseverance! The VT-1 looks great! The canopy is crystal clear. You'd never know there was a huge moldline there. The paint job looks amazing. 10/10 After all these years you're still the master model builder around here!

Been on the hunt for this one! Anyone know where I can pick it up for a reasonable price?

I wish they'd do a new variant. I have all of the Bandai re-releases from a couple decades back. Maybe a TV Max & Kakizaki combo set. Also, they could re-release the armored 1J. The retro packaging has been done a bunch of times now. They should try some chunky scale and style Zentradi stuff. Imagine a solid, heavy duty, ratchet joint Glaug or Q-Rau. Those would be a huge success.

@Papa Rat Chicken! I can't unsee it! Looking good!

@derex3592 I can't wait to see what you do with the Cat's Eye kit! Years ago, there was a member on this board that sold me a set of 1/72 scale female macross pilots. It included a Misa pilot that would be perfect for that kit.

Looking great! I love how you tackled that canopy issue. If you'd like, I can send you a spare gunpod. Lemme know.

At 1:01, the AI voice says it was released by "Bidet" in the 2000s! <Insert bidet joke here> 😳

@nightmareB4macross Impressive! You should be hired to design the Missing Link Jetfire!

You really knocked it out of the park! It looks great! Great job on those difficult seams.

EPIC! We're not worthy! This is the best build I've ever seen of a valk. I especially like the optics detail in the head part. Please post more!

I second this suggestion. 08th MS Team is great!

Easy enough to paint the kit Kakizaki colors but yes I want the little figure. I am willing to pay the premium. Having said that, easy enough to pop out copies of him to my friends who aren't willing to pay the premium that I am.

Ah man! I forgot all about that Kakizaki version. I hope I can find one for a reasonable price! If anyone spots one could you please let us know?

@Papa Rat That old kit looks SOOO good! You really made her shine. Keep up the good work!

@Shawn Incredibly impressive! You tell the story well and I enjoyed reading it.

Killer paint job! I agree, worth it!

So cool! Nice poster.

I never realized how well proportioned that tiny SDF-1 is. It just needs a bridge and the little spiky bits at the front. It looks like a fun little build.

I usually don't chime in much but for some reason, I'm filled with a sense of joy when reading this. That is a monumental!

About how much are they charging?

Well, I always build them the RIGHT way. Here's a pic of some of my builds. Thought everyone knew the right orientation.

Oh wow ok so on the box art. I'm always used to seeing the finished kits and never noticed that!

Show us an example. I'm not sure I remember seeing this.

Looks like it's almost ready to go. Love it! Keep up the good work!

Lookin great! I'm amazed those decals are still viable after 20+ plus years since their release. Bravo!
