the face changes drastically depending on the artwork. Like I said above, I do prefer smaller face vents, but you can see what they were looking at
-
Oddly I’ve seen other pictures from the show where the huge vents are spot on. I do like the smaller ones better though
-
I’ve had a few odd problems with that tamiya stuff. If you do oils and the smell of turpentine gets to you, there’s always odorless mineral spirits. They still have a bit of a smell, but not as bad
-
I think it would look better in non metallic, but I have to admit that it looks pretty cool.
-
Same here. I just usually find out about things when I check the forums myself and the notifications on here still seem to work, just not the email. It’s ok cause I kinda stopped reading emails anyway
-
I kinda doubt 1/12. Maybe more like 1/20 or 1/35. I haven’t seen enough pictures of it to judge and I don’t remember a scale on it
-
That Orguss kit looks better and better every time I see a new picture. Now I gotta see more pictures of their garland
-
I was kinda curious about this as well. I’ve only had that problem with tamiya panel liners. I wasn’t sure if it could also have been an acrylic wash. I’ve always had bad luck with those as well, like if the was dries to quick leaving smudges that don’t wanna wipe away. Personally I haven’t had big problems with oil washes and been curious about the clay washes. I’ve never seen flory or found it in stock at web stores. Just something I’m thinking about trying since they clean up with water.
-
Hope you can get things fixed up and don’t give up. Sometimes it’s good to make sure you have a decent gloss before panel lining and sometimes the panel lining products can be where the problems are.

I wouldn’t doubt they could do a better job. I’d be interested

As much as I liked the Arii kits back in the day, they really need an update. I don’t really have much hope for more modern toys or kits beyond this new action figure and like I said above, I’m holding back. As far as modern American Macross though there are designs upcoming for Zentraedi soldiers and mecha. And that honestly is surprising to me that they are going that far even though I feel like other companies do it better. But there are items that these companies are touching that the others don’t. As far as Southern Cross Arii really only did a small handful of kits and no one else is doing anything modern. With this new figure it’s gonna depend on how the armor turns out. I couldn’t care less about her dress uniform. If it’s not a pile of junk and ends up looking cool I’ll buy it, and then I’ll worry about other armored characters

That’s pretty much every princess in every video game franchise. They either have bad directional sense or are very prone to capture, because they forget to pay their guards or something
-
I don’t know if it’s even a spoiler anymore with every YouTube and news article posting it directly on the thumbnail
-
That’s an awesome display

Unfortunately there’s no alternative for southern cross fans. If any of the major Japanese companies did an action figure of her in her armor, I’d buy it in a heartbeat. The Japanese companies don’t want to touch Southern Cross mainly due to it being a failure. On top of that I wonder if there’s also licensing issues on top of that. There are a lot of cool classic 80’s anime getting new products, but I and probably most of the few fans of Southern Cross have little hope for any products like action figures or model kits. Personally I don’t like the direction they’re taking on this figure and disappointed with the company overall and unless I see really good pics and a decent review of the figure, I’ll skip it
-
What process did you use to do the wash? If you used a clear coat, you may be able to just do a light sand with a high grit sand paper if thinners don’t work. Just curious about the products and process you used and maybe there’s a simple solution to the problem.
-
I guess it’s just me trying to wrap my head around a service that barely has content cutting content, even if it wasn’t good
-
I kinda want to see some more pictures before deciding on this one. So far I think it looks better than the previous release and definitely better than the hasbro ones
-
I heard it was leaving the other day, and still a bit thrown off that they would just remove one of the few original shows they have, even if it sucked.
-
It would probably give a lot of space to work with
-
I’d be more interested to see if they updated the armor.
-
I’m more impressed by the box art than the kit
-
Great to see a team effort and awesome way to involve the son
-
Anyway gotta say thanks for posting those Tina Turner songs. She definitely had a strong voice and even though I don’t regularly listen to her I do get that sense of nostalgia when I hear her songs.

Looks great
