  1. In the opening sequence for SDF Macross, we see the SDF-1 flying out of a cloud formation on earth, with main guns firing. Of course, this isn't in the series, but does anyone know if there's a story behind it? Deleted scene? Animated just for the opening? It's a cool scene, and would have been awesome to see extended. It would be a cool thing to model
  2. About to start the new Regult, but wondering if anyone has suggestions on the build. I've heard it's got lots of seam lines. only videos i can find on youtube are japanese and don't show much of the build. I like building in sub assemblies, but like to be prepared ahead of time if there are easier ways people have figured out
  3. Hey all. I'm looking for an SDF-1 photo etch kit, and everywhere seems sold out, and the only one on Ebay won't ship to Canada. Anyone have one, they want to part with, or, willing to part with at least the 4 parts that go on the legs??
  4. yes, its too fuzzy, even at full size in Photoshop. I tried to sharpen, and clean it up, but it's not reliable.
  5. I am in need of a high resolution scan of the sticker placement map for the Takatoku version of the SDF-1. It came with extra stickers not found on the matchbox edition, and i can't make out the image on the Anymoon.com scan. please and thank you. :D
  6. Designed, no. they are reproductions of the Matchbox and Takatoku set, but i completely remade them in Photoshop with cleaner, crisper lines.
  7. Well, my eyes are all wonky now. Been working on a Reproduction set of Matchbox/Takatoku SDF-1 stickers. 2 12 hour marathon sessions, and now its ready for testing.
  8. its sad that 3d printers are so cheap now, and good options for home printing are still prohibitive.
  9. I wonder what TOYHAX uses to print their stickers. There must be other printers out there. If ALPS is so limited, there has to be options.
  10. i don't do it to make a fortune. I make sets that I want, how I want them. first and foremost. it just so happens that early on, people asked me to sell them sets of what i had done, so now, when i make myself a set, i make it available to other people. If i print a few sets and they sit on ebay for a few months, no skin off my back. I just want my own figures to look good.
  11. Oh, i just literally started. I've got my reference images from the various sticker sheets for the toys, and i just started placing the tape on the figure for the shape and size as the starting base.
  12. I'm in the process of designing my own 1/55 conversion sticker set for Transformer Jetfire into Roys VF-1S, and it occured to me that this is a good opportunity to design not only a toy accurate reproduction set, but to enhance the toy with hyper details such as from the Hasegawa 1/72 waterslide sheets. Would there be a market for such an upgrade, or, just keep it to what was original to the toy?
  13. i just bought this set from Toyhax, and realised it doesn't have the factory details. What I need is a set to convert a junker Jetfire back into Roys VF-1S
  14. max would need glasses, or if you do the space version, with the full helmet, that would work for both as well. Milia always gets a repaint of the male figures. It would just be nice to get a more feminine body frame. she's also been known to let her hair down under her helmet. here is a full shot. 1:72
  15. best i could do with my re-casting skills, but they look fine under the canopy glass. Its just tacked on with white glue so if better options come along, i can replace them.
  16. pleased to find this replacement decal sheet in my mail today. Its not a perfect substitute for the Virgin Road sheet, but it has enough i can use to put the kit into my "Done" list. Birthday thursday, so i know what i'll be doing.
  17. wish they would reissue the TV editions of the SDF-1 prices on those have shot up so high in the last year.
  18. GAWDAMIT!! i glued the head in place, had glue on my knuckle, touched the wing, and now there is super glue over the top of the wing. going to strip it down when the new decals arrive and paint the wing from scratch later. Going to try recasting some pilots now.
  19. yes. its molded in blue. and the even if the decals were not damaged, the nose, and "Legs" need to be white, so, yes, lots of masking, and thin layers to retain the panel lines. so everything had to be primed in grey, then white, then masked, then repainted blue.
