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!

As far as being not being into Gundam, I’d recommend 08th Ms Team at some point for a short watch that’s very easy to get into without the need for any background information 

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

The colors would be easy to paint, but I want it for the little mini Kakizaki. If I see anything while searching around I’ll definitely do my best to post it

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.

Do we know if the Kakizaki unit is out as well, assuming one can figure out how to obtain one?

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!

US hobby stores have started to receive the VF-22s Max/Milia.  My local hobbytown just got them in! 

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!

One sort of off topic question. Why do Hasegawa kits show the U.N.Spacy right side up on the gun pod when in battroid form? 🤔

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!

You don't have to let someone who gets off on getting under people's skin get away with it. Just block them as many do.

You're quite welcome here, and I'm sure most of us would like you to continue.

How do you block someone on here?

Wow, those old Arii kits sure bring back some good memories. Those will be a fun build.

That resin recast from e2046 is an amazingly detailed flagship. Once complete details really pop out.

Post pictures when you’re done.

Here is a little inspiration and part of my list of kits to complete.

 

@nightmareB4macrossWhere did you get all those Zentradi figures? Oh man gotta get my hands on those!

Ouch, $71 shipping to US from D4.  So far the cheapest preorder for US buyers has been the 1000 Toys listing on Amazon, but that is no longer available,  I think Amazon.jp is the current cheapest?

To get both the Legioss and Tread, I get a price of

$544.30 shipped from D4

vs.

$514.64 shipped from Amazon.

D4 is $30 more but it includes the bonus missiles. Decisions, decisions...

If anyone picks this up, can you send me a link to the instructions? I'd like to see the build process.

Hasegawa webpage has now been updated. Ships 26th March 2025. 

http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/product/34-2/

Includes a basic cockpit

It includes a cockpit but, sadly, no Kamjin figure. The Q-Rau got a pilot figure. Oh well. The kit looks great! Looking forward to this. Though I'm not as excited as I would have been ten years ago or so. Better late than never!

So unfortunately Kakizaki is a web exclusive through the goodsmile online shop according to taghobby.

What is the best way to secure my copy?

I'm really torn on this new Renegade. I'm feeling lots of nostalgia for it but I'm really let down by some of the design choices. At first glance, it just looked "off" somehow. As I read all of the above posts, I realized exactly why it looked that way to me. Thanks for the great explanation, @sketchley. 

Anyway, I feel as if I get this, then I'm going to have to track down and buy the original. Then I'll have to track down and buy the whole original Blacktron line. I only have so much disposable income! 

@MechTech I am in awe. Flabbergasted. You continually raise the bar. The hand looks like it could come to life and squish a head or something! 

@Urashiman That's quite the stash of kits you have there! I imagine that picture is just a small portion. 

@derex3592 That A-10 is coming along nicely! Good work! 

@joscasle Flawless. You've attended to every detail. You're an excellent modeler. You're in the home stretch and that's always a good feeling. 

@wm cheng Bravo, Mr. Cheng! Nice save! I dunno how many of us would've had the patience to go back and attempt to salvage the kit.
