I can vouch for ALL of Cap's Invid kits, I own and have built them all. He uses very good resin and the finished product is great, if you are willing to put in the work.  I will say that this one, I felt was the most difficult of the four types released and I would not recommend these to someone who has never worked with a resin kit before. Not trying to scare anyone off, just wanted to share my thoughts on this. 

That's discouraging. I see this as my only chance to get an "invid schocktrooper"

Hope it's ok to answer this one. From what I know this is a resin kit and not injection styrene kit. Resin Kit is more difficult compared to regular kits. Example, a regular Gundam kit you can snap build it with or without cleaning it up or washing it. You can paint it directly on regular kits without primer, etc. Whereas with Resin Kits, you really need to clean it thoroughly, check out for inconsistencies, remove mold seams or any air bubble trapped in the resin mold. It's more work than regular kit. You can google some info about it, or even YouTube some video tutorials. But since this Captain's resin, I'm sure it's much cleaner than super mass produced ones.

 

Thanks for the answer. I haven't put together many model kits before, but I really love how this Inbit design looks.

Hi!

I may be interested. Just have a noob question: is this a resin kit? And if it is, how difficult it is building / painting a resin kit compared to a regular kit?

Based on all online shops info out there for the last DYRL Minmay figure released by Plamax, height is approximately 9cm. As well as the other Plamax Macross Idols. Hope that helps.

 

 

Thanks. It may go just right with the CM's and Banpresto figures

Since it's somewhat related, would anyone be interested in a re-issue of my 1/48 Inbit kits? Seems like the crabby baddies get no love from toy manufacturers.

Any ideas on how much they would cost?

1/20. Same size as the first DYRL Minmay released by the same company. Same scale as the pilot one.

 

Thanks. I know the scale is 1/20, but I wanted to know the actual size, because I don't know how tall Minmay is supposed to be on the show.

Found these bad bwoys on mandarake

Group shot! Only need a few more to complete the set 

I love those SD Macross F figures. I have some myself: Ozma's Battroid, Alto's Fighter, Brera's Battroid and a green Q-Rau

Thank you.

 

My custom Scout is almost done. I started this project almost 2 years ago and finally it's almost ready to be painted.

 

Here is a test fitting of all sensors, they're not glued, just pinned, so some of those might look misaligned. What do you guys think? Should I add, adjust or change something? All critics are welcome.

 

 

That Scout looks awesome! 

Congratulations!

Just saw this pic on facebook.  So much win!

Based on that picture... Could the missile effects work on the Armored Valkyrie?

Whta size would that Minmay figure be?

to be  honest, I have little interest in a remake of the SDFM TV series with updated animation.

The original series is still good enough, wonky animation and all.

I would however be OK with a side-story OVA set in the same period.

Anyway, we already have a reamake of SDFM with superior animation, it's called DYRL

I agree. I don't think a remake is needed, but I would definitely support a fan project looking for correcting some issues, like some coloring mistakes and some poor drawings, thus enhancing the original series

Nice score! One of these days I need to get Max & the Hikaru figure, I only have Roy so far. 

Hikaru and Roy are both on the way.

WOW! I have been looking for this figure for years. Where did you get it from?

A guy from Chile sold it to me

The new member of my character collection

Sorry for the poor picture. I have more figures on the way. I'll take a better one once the set is complete 

I'm so sad about his departure. A great musician, but above all, a great person.

I was lucky enough to see him live a couple of times. 

Last week I sold four Hi-Metal / Hi-Metal R valks to some guy. Once he received them, he said: "These look just like the Toynami veritechs"

Now I wish I sold them to someone else....

Why cant we get a gently re-imagined (as in don't change the story or designs just update the animation) for SDFM, in addition to new series I have to ask? I mean Evangelion got a little bit of an animation update  didn't it..? 

But they did change the Evangelion story. After the first movie, it's entirely different. They even said that it's not a remake but a sequel instead. 

I already have the red and green masterpiece Alphas, but the blue one is the hardest to get for a reasonable price

It's way too expensive to even consider buying it. It's a no-go for me.

I'll have to keep looking for an Aoshima legioss, even if its hands crumble down.

So true. . .the memories of when our daughter was a newborn are interwoven with me watching toy reviews and anime from 2am until I heard the birds chirping outside and the sun came up.  That's when my wife would come down and take her for the day.  In short. . . Watch SDFM at 3am - and have the bottle and diaper ready !

That's a great idea. I have a baby on the way! 

Awesome diorama!!

The story was weak, there were poorly rendered CGI animals, and I still can't understand why were they trying to force Shia LaBeouf into all major franchise at the time! He's just not that great, and his character in Crystal Skull sucked!

That looks really good. Congratulations! 

Buenísimo. Gran atención al detalle!

Crystal Skull was a terrible movie. I'm not actually excited about this announcement
