I'm finishing my Baby Crab, I'm really happy with the model and its proportions. I hope to finish it soon to accompany my Pinky Crab.

I preorder two

I think I've found just the right level of smoke for the visor... enough to still make out the lines and a face underneath, without looking like a jack o' lantern.

Oh, and somebody gave Amazon.jp bad intel, because my Ray is already here!

Great to have the pair together.

Amazing pictures! good job.

The ball joints of the "Hobby Base" brand are really tight, they allow a 360 degree rotation and they come in very varied sizes, at least for me, it was the best option I found in the market.

Some Stig cellphone pics:

Esa pieza que falta en el tobillo es identica en ambos lados, puede duplicarse en resina y pintarse. Cuando tenga el mio veo si te puedo dar una mano con eso.

This is really hopeful

Thanks for sharing. I was actually trying something like that before, and while I can see the lock budging slightly, it’s still not coming off easily. Any chance you’d do a transformation video in your review? Thanks.

Honestly I don’t know why I seem the only one unable to get past this step. Never really had any major problems transforming something before that have set me back this long.

I think you should identify the two parts and leverage the union with a plastic wedge, that way you will not break any pieces.

I have a feeling that in a couple of years this toy will cost U$S 1500 ...

Amazing jajaja

Here's the first batch, then:

Scale-wise, it's an accurate 1:12, although a little on the smaller end of that particular scale...  Not as small as Revoltech or MAFEX figures, but not as large as DST or Neca, either.

Think Marvel Legends, rather than Marvel Select.  

And yes, I removed the silver paint from the visor.  No sanding or polishing required, just a little paint thinner on a Q-Tip.  

You have not tested if you can adapt the visor that comes in the 1/12 kit of aoshima / imai?

I feel like I am slowly aspiring to have a collection like yours @sh9000. Part of me still can't believe that I ordered 2 sets of HMR Elintseekers, VF-1S Strike Roy, VF-1S Strike Hikaru, and Super Ostriches. I do have some buyer's remorse about spending several hundred dollars on duplicates.

I have the complete line of HMR macross, but the only ones that I have duplicates are the cannon fodder and the first edition of the regult, although I recognize that I would also like to have another defender.

Of course! 

No instructions, no problems, no sweat.  

Even stands unassisted!

Amazing, it looks really good. Is it difficult to remove the mudguard?

Me pregunto CÓMO eliminó la pintura ... químicos o lijado / rayado.
preguntarse qué tan difícil es sin dañar realmente la parte clara

He says that initially  use a little solvent but that I do not loosen the paint well, then he just sanded it and finished with a polishing compound. I think the best option is to sand lightly and give a final touch with some fine polishing paste. I personally think duplicate the piece in resin and try several transparent colors, like green or black. I think a transparent black color would be really amazing.

This cabin, for example, was made in transparent resin, it looks very good after polishing.

Bueno, esas son buenas noticias. Dice "Odiaba el guardabarros delantero, así que me lo quité".

También dice "No sé por qué pintaron el interior de la visera transparente de plata, así que simplemente eliminé la pintura".

Waiting for photos of your unit ...

Sweet build, Emiliano, would you object if I share it on social media? You would be credited as the builder, of course!

Of course! no problem. I'm going to send you some better pictures by private message, since I made some small modifications in the supports of the guns so that they are "over" the figure and now it looks much better. Luck with the Legioss, it looks amazing

Jesus .. i hate the new visor
