  1. I dunno if you can guess what I'm working on but one of these took longer than the other three put together to prep! I was careless glueing the parts together on one of these I guess.
  2. Yeah, the Hasegawa Battroid needs lots of clean up to look best. There are lots of seams to fill and sand smooth. The plastic is softer than a typical Gundam kit. I can imagine the builder's frustration if they're not used to traditional style assembly kits. I just built my first Gundam kit a couple weeks ago and had the opposite experience. After building Hasegawa kits all these years, the Leo I built went together like a dream. It only had two visible seams but they required no putty because the fit was perfect. I agree that the builder probably is experiencing a build that involves more work than they expected.
  3. Looking forward to watching this. Thanks for posting it. The disclaimer at the beginning is a little disheartening: "Warning for Macross fans: This is a fun project... There's nothing on this video about Macross."
  4. What are all the different kits you have available?
  5. Thom, looking good. What kit is that? Anyway, I'm making some progress on my VF-11B and I saw the decals are a little outta whack! Anything red or grey on the sheet printed a mm or two to the right. Shame on you Hasegawa!
  6. electric indigo, that's some nice work. It's a shame it will be hidden in battroid mode. Can't wait to see the finished product. Urashiman, that Elint is coming along nicely. Ten years is a long time but at least you're working on finishing it. I've noticed the same thing about mold degradation with my vf-1 kits. It's gonna get worse now that they're kit bashing the molds for the Gerwalk kits. sketchley, I'm glad you're ok. I was in Osaka this time last year. I'm also working on a VF-0 battroid except I'm on Urashiman's schedule with it. Hervé! Wow you are a model kit building god among men! That mustang looks amazing! I'm currently working on a VF-11B and just finished up a Leo. I'm building it 'gear up' and it's taking some time.
  7. They put the nose cone on upside down in those photos. I'm currently building this kit and I'm glad to report that the fit is great!
  8. Open the pod bay doors, HAL.
  9. Same here. Literally the day before. Now I have to wait 60 days to see my kit.
  10. The Cap did such a great job on this one. It's a such a beauty. If only he would breath life into one more design... Cap, please make a Q-rau! We want Q! But yeah, put me down for one. Hopefully, you'll include the pilot and decals.
  11. I see it. I want it. But the sticker shock tho... I guess I'm not getting one. Maybe they'll rerelease a fighter w/ booster combo. I might be persuaded to jump on that.
  12. It's destined for the bargain bin.
  13. VF-4 model kit
  14. That looks great! I'm impressed. Can't wait to see more progress.

    Hi-Metal R

    I think I'm sold on the Regult set. Did I miss the boat? Can anyone point me in the right direction? I really want a set now.
  16. I just noticed the resemblance to our favorite capital ship that the the mysterious, oblong space-rock Oumuamua has. OUMUAMUA PROBABLY ISN'T A SPACESHIP
  17. I hate masking those canopies.
  18. Seems like the more complex images wouldn't register precisely the second time around. I'm extremely skeptical.
  19. If the black cartridge is replaced by the white cartridge how do you print black and white at the same time?
  20. This is the closest thing we have. Lots of decal scans in there. http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/models/_models_plastic.htm
  21. I can't put my finger on it, but the proportions seem off a bit. Like there are a few, small but incredibly significant details being overlooked. This is coming from someone that owns multiples of every iteration of vf-1 Valkerie kit in existence.
  22. Are we ever gonna get the Hory Froating Head himself to join us? Please don't get me wrong, I appreciate all you guys do and our guests have been awesome. I just wish Kawamori would grace us with his presence.
  23. Hasegawa needs to do a 1/48 battroid. That would be epic.
  24. I'm really into this thread! I'm just shy. Please, keep posting pics of the build process!
  25. I think I have over 300. I've built like 10. Maybe if I live to 150 years old I'll build them all. My favorites are the Capn's hunks of resin. I have multiples of those. I wish I could post a pic but they're all boxed up and I don't have time to set up a photo session.
