I put my hideously ugly mug up for everyone to gawk at...

You are gifted...

Those are beautiful. I like the really clean look. You had to give it to us all in one shot? You couldn't of spread it out a little? Some questions if you don't mind. What pilot figure did you use for the Miria kit? Is it a modified Hasegawa VF-1 pilot? Also, I think you used the perfect shades of color on every valk. I'm starting my max & miria kit and I would really appreciate it if you could tell me exactly what shades you used. The brand of paint and the exact mixtures of shades? I really, really, really, and most definitely like your work.

Oh yeah, welcome to Macross World! I'm not a prolific poster but I've been around for a while and I can tell you these guys are great.

HLJ Sale again! It's been done posted...

Can you believe this guy? He's selling cheat codes! The most horrible part is that people are paying so much for them. He has a long winded description of the game Sonic Heroes then, at the end, he warns that the auction is only for cheat codes. Rediculous Auction If you check his feedback, you'll see that he's already ripped off a few people. How can eBay let this go on? It looks just like any other game auction. BTW, the only reason I came across this auction is because I'm selling a few copies of Sonic Heroes and I wanted to check out the competing auctions.

It has a picture of a DYRL Max on the flap but those are TV valks... OK, I'm just jealous!

Cannon Royale, you're a genius! Okay, my new wish is for a 1/60 Kamujin and Britai! They'd have to be posable so Britai could swing his pipe and Kamujin could play "ride em cowboy." (Did that last sentence sound dirty?) By the way, how tall would they be in 1/60 scale? I think Britai is as tall as a valk battroid, but Kamujin is a bit shorter.

My dream would be a 1/60 Regult with removable pilot figure.

Guys... You always remember your first. The original, and still the best, VF-1. Still does it for me...

Age is nothin' but a number, right? Who am I kidding? I'm an old fart. TWENTY FREAKING SIX... Born in good ol' 1977

I got two of them funky chunky 55s... Hikaru -1S Cannon Fodder -1A and looking for a hikaru, max, and/or miria -1J. I just want loose ones in decent condition cuz they're gonna get played with anyway. Anyway, if anybody wants to unload at a decent price...

Your model kicks @$$! Great work. Now build a Glaug or Regult for it to fight against.

I'm drooling over your 1J... I must say, excellent work. I have the 1J kit but I'm afraid to even start it until I get a few more kits under my belt. I really enjoy these build-ups. I'm a beginning modeller and these are VERY helpful. I really appreciate the time you and, especially WM, take to document your work. PLEASE, keep 'em coming! Anyway, the original TV version valks have always been my favorites. I have noticed one thing, however. Isn't that a DYRL style pilot in your TV style valk? I guess there isn't really a TV style pilot figure available for these kits. Pisses me off...

Those are cool little kits. I just finished a VF-1D a few weeks back. They are fun to build and you don't have to work forever like a bigger model. This one didn't take me that long and I'm a beggining modeler. I'm hoping you post a pic of yours when you're done.

Wow, that's a really great idea! Man, now I gotta go and copy you...

A 1/72 scale Macross would be about 50 feet in length! It would need a pretty big room. Correct me if I'm wrong but, the length of the ship is mentioned to be about 3600 feet. Which means, 3600ft * 1/72 = 50ft, right? Anybody know how long that would make the Prometheus?

I couldn't see Alpha Omega's pic so... This straight off of the HLJ website: 1/72 Macross Option Decal #03 (HSG65766)

The poor defender! It is my second favorite. The Monster is my fav... That is some serious heavy artillery.

It looks like they're just gonna stick a strike battroid kit in a box with new instructions and a new decal sheet. You could've already made one if you bought a battroid kit and Macross Option Decal #03. Gabe Q.

Well, I'm gonna draw the line here. I'm not gonna get this kit. I have all the VF-1s they released, including the the Angel Bird, the VF-1D trainer and Virgin Road, three battroids, and the M & M double VF-1J set. I have twelve Hasegawa valkyrie kits total and I'll buy anything else they release AS LONG AS IT WAS IN THE SERIES. They're not upsetting me but I just wish they would release something really new, not just a rehash. I am very happy with the kits I have so far. If you don't have a Hasegawa Macross kit yet, you are depriving yourself! Gabe Q

Well, I'll buy anything Macross in a TV version. Now, I'm not gonna sit here and put down DYRL but I will politefully mention that I much prefer the TV version. I would love to have the following set in 1/60, or 1/48 but that would wipe me out financially, they would all be TV versions: VF-1S Skull One VF-1J Hikaru, Max & M VF-1A Max, Kakizaki VF-1D Trainer That's the set of seven that define the series for me. Gabe Q.

I wish Hasegawa would make some 1/72 Regults. That isn't gonna happen though. It's too much of a risk. It would cost too much to produce and sales are not guaranteed like the valks. Still, I can imagine how beautiful a set of Hasegawa destroids would look. I can dream, can't I?

Hello, I'm definitely not a pro but I know that the star in a black box means "apply decal" and the other icon you mention means "remove." I'm pretty sure that second icon is a picture of a hobby knife, the kind with break away blades. They just mean there's a piece you may have to trim if you see that icon in a step. Hope that helps...

Thanks! Tom, thanks for the info. That's exactly what I was looking for. Looks official enough for me. Looks like Crazy Canuck really put a lot of work into those. Thnks to him, too. I'll post some pics of the finished valk. SDF Commander, where in the heck did you see Max's VF-1A marked as 003? Which episode is that?
