Super Macross Mecha Fun Time Discussion Thread!
pengbuzz replied to Valkyrie Driver's topic in Movies and TV Series
One example I can think of is Col. Johnson's artificial leg, which he was reconnecting while lecturing Lt. Dyson about "stupidity" in Macross Plus: (Timestamp: 18:02) It looked like the leg was built to look like a boot, but I cannot quite tell. -

After mine died, I never want to see another Legioss again... 😠 -
I first put them on a used decal sheet to pick up the glue from that. Then, I used Micro-Sol to make them conform (repeated applications, then a hair dryer on low for a few minutes). You can use Elmer's Glue if needbe (watered down a bit). And yeah: it's just the glue turning yellow from UV. Once removed (and new glue applied), they seem to work fine. On really old one, you might want to use Micro-Clear liquid decal film to reduce the risk of shattering.

No problem MT!! I thought the same thing, then I decided to test one of the "decals" that was just the copyright info for the set (Ertl seemed to be big on that back in the day). It turns out it's the glue for it! On that note: in a pinch, if there isn't much glue left on a used decal sheet, just use a little watered-down Elmer's Glue. And keep in mind: PLENTY OF HOT WATER when trying to get the decals to release and to move around. Also: mind where you have your Micro-Sol bottle. I just lost half a bottle when I accidentally knocked mien over, and that's all I had left in the bottle. I'll have to replace it in 3 months; everything is so expensive now, even white bread is a commodity. O.o

UPDATE: What you've all been waiting for: First, how to rescue 31 year old decals: Soak them in very hot water for 30 minutes, then carefully slide them onto new decal paper (used backing) and swish around with plenty of water to get rid of all the old, yellowed glue (as seen in the first pic!). And now, the pictures: With flash: Without flash: More pics: Wing positions: Helmsman had too much blood wine: Stay tuned...

No, just starting; I need to super-detail this, and I also need to go over it panel by panel with pics of the actual studio model.
