I'm sorry...but that is just over-kill. Plus imagine what it would do to the paint job after repeated use. And it wouldn't kill anyone....toasted that test dummy pretty good. ROb MN

We are looking at a price tag of around $100.00. This price is not set in stone and we have to wait until we start the casting. Rob

Simply amazing! I am speechless. That Booster is a work of art! excellent work John! Rob

So does anybody REALLY know what it says?

Meltran Science Chief : "How would you like your enlargement today?" Max: "Super-Size it!" Meltran Science Chief: "Would you also like an apple pie for 0.95 cents more?"

Very interesting. And a very good idea! Rob mN

Thanks for answering cobywan he is right they are only for one day events. You can get a license but it takes about 3 to 6 months. You have to pay the royalties to Big West up front before you sell any kits. Basically what you do is get a sub-license from a company that has a long term license. You submit a sample to them, tell them how many you plan to sell and at what price. They look it over and tell you what changes need to be made. If they approve it then youpay the royalties to them and then you get your stickers. Basically you just have to jump through alot of hoops. Also if memory serves BW only allows 10 sub-licenses for Macross per event. And yes I hope to get the Booster licensed as well for WF Winter 2005. Rob

Man this is looking really good! Can't wait to see the trailer! Rob MN

Ummm...very off topic ...kinda from the name calling and uh..other stuff... But.... Does anyone have a picture of this? Rob MN

Okay now it has to be somebody here. I was lucky to join the PM club. Lots of personal info about me....hmmmm must be somebody that knows me?

Wow, You are back......and after you said at least a bizillion times you would leave and never come back...... . "Liar lair pants on fire..... " Although I am curious as to which asian country you are from?

Interesting custom. I really like the idea that he put a sincle cannon on each Fast pack. To me it kinda makes more sense. I likes! Rob

And on this note .....let's go ahead and start the ticket sales for the raffle! Please go and read the first post for addtional info! Rob

Wow John! That looks simply amazing!!!! And super fast too! Outstanding work! Rob

Thanks for all the responses! I took it today to one of my Japanese friends who is sort of a cell expert. He basically said it is a 90% chance it is her. he also said it looks as though it was at a photoshoot....and he said I got lucky. Now I just have to rewatch Macross TV and find out where it is....can you say needle in a haystack. And as soon as I find out all the info...as with all of my items I will sell it. That is if I can. Thanks everyone. Rob

Thing about it is...it was with other Macross TV related cells...

Hello all, I was in Osaka City today and happened to come across a shop i had not been in. they had alot of cells. Anyway one caught my eye and i just need to double check it. Is this Lynn Minmay? And if not then who cause it sure does look like her. Rob

Wow! How did I miss this? That is an amazing model! You have done an outstanding job! Keep it up and please....more pics! Rob MN

Bummer!

Basara from Macross 7

Yes kinda..... It is a limited model put out by Bandai. It is no longer inproduction and almost impossible to find in the shops here in Japan. The model itself is good...but difficult to build because the pieces don't match exactly. Alot of putty is needed. Now a model, well resin that is very cool and even more limited is the 1/72 scale done by Platz - Awesome model kit! Rob

Yes absolutely it is in 1/72 scale. Rob

Hello All! I am pleased to announce this it has begun. If you have any questions feel free to send a PM. We will try to keep everyone updated on this as often as possible. Plus in the next week or so we will have a surprise announcement for everyone. Rob MN
