  1. She looks good! I love seeing these older kits brought to life!
  2. I think you're right. I'm so used to the Hasegawa Battroid that this design gives off a chonk vibe. However, when I compare it to the line art @Big s posted, it looks almost perfectly proportioned. I have Battroid Dysmorphia. Go figure!
  3. Seems just a bit too chonky? I dunno. I guess if I saw it next to the line art it might look ok.
  4. I can't wait for mine to get here. Everything I've seen and heard about the kit so far is positive so I'm itching to get my hands on it. Also, I'm about 8 or 9 episodes in to the original series and I'm enjoying it so far. If anyone here hasn't seen it yet, I recommend giving it a shot.
  5. Here I am, a year later and my order for my kit was finally fulfilled. Now I gotta wait for enough stuff to buy to fill out a whole shipment from HLJ. A whole year it took!!!
  6. I wish I could remember the specifics but there was a video game where the whole squad goes out in GBP armor for a mission. I Googled it but didn't come up with anything. Did I imagine it? I'm pretty sure there exists a whole canon color scheme of armors for every character.
  7. It looks promising. I'll be keeping an eye on this.
  8. A lot of cool stuff going on here! @Thom Your F-14 is looking real nice with all that extra detail you're adding. I don't have the patience for all that anymore because, like you said, "sanity"! @electric indigo The paint on your intruder is so perfectly demarcated. You must be the best at masking for your paint jobs. I'm always impressed by the quality and attention to detail of your builds. @Urashiman That resin Zelda looks very cleanly printed. I think with a print like that, it would look great painted even with minimal prep work. Seeing all the cool stuff here makes me want to set up my workbench again so bad!
  9. I think I've identified the cause of my problem. I've been using the Iwata brand lube this whole time. I guess I'll clean it out and lube with a different brand. Thanks for taking the time to post, I think this will really help with a problem that's been bugging me.
  10. @derex3592 Out of all the things you did to fix the sticky trigger, which of them did the trick? I have the same problem with the same airbrush. I read it all but you didn't really say which step was the solution.
  11. @tekering Pretty cool having your name on the box!

    I see the "fatal mistake". If you look carefully, the decal near the left aileron is about .05mm off center. Seriously though, that is an amazing build. @sc_planet You're way too modest!
  13. That's the greatest lineup of built kits I've ever seen. That is such a great photo! Okayama City is about to get more than their fair share of Moscato, indeed. Please take and post as many pictures of the displayed kits at the show as you can!
  14. @Big s That reminds me of scouring the swap meet as a kid for anything Macross related! Although back then I only knew it as ********. My only exposure to the kits was seeing the revell branded versions at my local drug store. I would buy them with my aluminum can money and use krazy glue to put them together. The canopies and clear parts would get all hazed from the glue. I never painted them either. Even though the result was pretty crappy looking, I have fond memories of building and playing with these early valk kits. As far as the pics that @Shawn just posted, those are rookie numbers that kid has stacked there! My backlog is scary big!
  15. Good God, that is beautiful! Absolutely nailed it! Nothing is too over/underdone. All the little details are perfectly executed. You've set the bar higher for us builders. Thanks for sharing.
  16. I can see that. Regardless, it's a great scheme.
  17. @Urashiman This is the scheme! Do this one. If you don't then it'll force me to do it and I just don't have the time!
  18. Here's a comparison to show the differences between the SDFM and DYRL versions of the Q-Rau:
  19. This is my exact list as well.
  20. I just noticed that they're releasing a Max version battroid to pair up with the Q-Rau. Pretty cool! Maybe they'll release a TV version pair down the road and we can recreate this scene.
  21. A Q-Rau! Big news!!! I wonder if the parts breakdown will account for a SDFM version down the road. Or maybe they'll just ignore the differences and give us an uncorrected SDFM repaint.
  22. @MechTech I am absolutely in awe after seeing you make those tiny gears from scratch. A real marvel of engineering. You never cease to amaze me with your next level skills. @Chas The 1S is looking good so far! The decaling looks good so far.
  23. This is what I was talking about. I didn't have time to post it. https://twitter.com/TENJIN_hidetaka/status/1697229910031602059
  24. If you follow Tenjin's Twitter/X account, he posted the boxart featuring the Gnerl in the background. Someone commented about it and he hinted that it may be a possible future offering. Take it with a grain of salt because I was reading it through the automated English translation.
  25. They probably think it will be a shelf warmer. I dunno if they would make a profit.
