    G'day guys, I just thought I'd drop a few images of my Ninja that I finished last year. It is the first MaK kit in years and went together pretty well except for the large rear tank

    Huge delay in updates but here is a what I have. The builds have super slow as Tse and I have both had to move houses. You can check his build on IG.

    I think as modelers we over estimate how many cycles the molds used for plastic kits are put through. It is a fraction of what is possible when you consider how many cycles molds used for other household items (phone cases, brackets etc.). The only kit molds I have heard of being worn out are the are for a 1/72 109 kit (either Eduard or Arma, I fail to recall which) as they were aluminium and only good for 50 odd thousand shots. Steel molds last much longer than that but are far more expensive to make. Also molds aren't milled AFAIK. Rather Electro discharge machining is used. Atlantis acquired a lot of old Revell tools they stated that some had degraded to the point of being unusable even though they had been used once. Rust killed them over 50 years or so.

    Looking Good there Anthony!.I have one of these in the stash to replace my broken one. One day I'll get to it.

    Thanks guys. @tekering unfortunately not. Time constraints for ScaleACT24 and the fact my pilot was away being cast for the reissue of this kit meant that I didn't bother. I may revisit that. Or just build another one with the full treatment. @Bolt Thanks mate. It was the obvious choice if I wanted to include the VF-1A and pilot for scale. @Thom IM not convinced that I pullednit off. The pilot was expertly sculpted and 3D printed by our very own @arbit. If you haven't already then check out his patrons for some awesome stuff.

    The Macross Modelling Illuminati are kicking off a group build that starts next month. Some are members here (and quite well k own too) but some are not so I'll post updates here on their behalf. The theme is SDF-1 so any SDF-1 kit is eligible (so far dominated by Hasegawa 1/4000 verauons) and the deadline is 01APR26. Keep and eye out on IG for #macrossgb Here is mine will all the raw materials ready to go; kit, panel decals and phito etch!

    I completed this kit last year but only got.around to taking photos this week. I present you a Glaug in proper 1/72 scale!

    Definitely interested! would this nprint in 1/.48 as well?

    Check your instructions. Pretty sure they show to put one side either way so at least on UN SPACEY decal is correct regardless of which mode.

    That stubby nose didn't get any better with paint 😵‍💫

    That's cool, but I would update the scheme with a hex pattern along the green demarcation line for a little pizazz.

    You were there? Damn I am going to have to put a shout out to Macross builders next year for a catch up! No more missed opportunities!
  14. Return To Kit Form
    You took the words right out of my mouth!
  15. Return To Kit Form
    It's big! So it take a bit of painting with all that surface area

    Small and weirdly shaped at the nose compared to the line art. They messed up the Regults as well bu having the pod too small and the thrusters to high up.

    Tze is an excellent builder and has been published. I'm hoping his kits will be in the Paint on Plastic Macross book when it comes out.

    Thanks mate. She kept me safe and I got out without a scratch. Really lucky considering I crossed and recrossed three lanes of traffic and freeway speeds going backwards.

    12 days after my post I killed the car Totally gutted considering I wasn't being an idiot.
  20. Return To Kit Form
    That a sweet looking luxobarge youve got there! Any plans?

    They have reissued the VF-1D a bunch of times including as The Virgin Road edition. Plus they released (and reissued) a GERWALK kit so I'd say it is popular enough. -BT

    A few months ago this old girl joined the garage. Nothing special by U.S standards but only 200 or so made it on the roads down here in Australia and according to the VIN mine is 1 of 7 in this colour combination. I have been driving it Since September and I still haven't seen another one!.

    Good Evening Folks! We have opened our first pre order for John's kit from back in the day (I am not sure if this ever got a re release after 2007). 10 orders are needed to kick this off ( we have 4 so far) and the kit comes with water slide decals and colour instructions. If we get the number the kits should be ready in late September. Send me a PM (or just comment below) if you are interested Kit Price AUD$200 + Shipping Thanks to John Moscato for letting me use his images 😉 Cheers, Brett
