I've been using Tamiya paints for years and they brush just fine (some of the lighter colours need finessing). Vallejo is good for brushing (their air brush matt clear is great) and GW for the most part is acceptable. GW paints dry out in the bottle too easily and become thick (especially if you live in a warm climate) so put them in the fridge to prolong their life. But having said that it's more of a case of horse for courses and each to their own. Contrary to other replies I can only say that in the 30+ years I've been using Tamiya and having tried just about every paint out there I'll use it above any other. BTW the paints you get from some of the cheap stores & craft stores do a pretty good job and don't cost an arm and a leg and you can get some pretty funky colours. If you're worried about drying time you can get products that when mixed with acrylics give them similar drying characteristics to enamels. Flotrol is one of them but as I'm in Australia I don't know if its available elsewhere and what it would be called.

Plus is ancient history. This topic is supposed to be about the NEW upcoming Macross series so how about sticking to that please I'm sure you can open a new topic if you want to rehash Plus for the umpteenth millionth time

Pretty sure the set is only for the Valk itself. It doesn't have any fast pack bits.

I'm in for 2

The same thing happened with the new Bandai 1/20 Scopedog kit about 2 days after it was released but it's now available again and mine's on the way now.

Er, not quite. Ohta's Patlabor was trashed 2 episodes before the final battle when it was dragged into the harbour by the Griffon through one the holes he shot in the bridge after one of his usual displays of stupidity. Kanuka's #3 held off Bud's Griffon while Noa's Alphose had it's batteries changed.

Mechamaniac for some great books

I'm in for one please

laroy once again for some great Patlabor kits

He also died as well

Unless I read a different version of The Jade Phoenix I can't recall Aidan Pryde having any "bizarro ability". He just managed to piss off everyone he came in contact with.

It's not in Total Warfare so it isn't legal. Are you sure you're not mixing it up with the home made Special Abilities rules for the Exterminator on the PRI web site?

Long since sold out Nadesico Nadesico with Y unit

Looking for either of the Musashiya resin kits of Nadesico (Nadesico on it's own or Nadesico with Y unit). Only interested in unstarted kits thanks. Opened is fine as long as all the parts are present.

Agree 100% Fantastic soundtrack. I play it at work all the time. So much so that some people have asked for a copy.

Check your account. I've had them both on pre-order since about 1/2 an hour after they announced they were re-stocking and both are now tagged as future release. Haven't got the dreaded email yet but I'd say it won't be far away

Max started out as a July Restock then went to a Sept Restock and has now graduated to a Future Release at HLJ. Waiting for the "we can no longer get this item" email

Time for another resin fix and besides I need some more purple boxes I'm in for one of each type.

Macross73 for another sweet 1/60

What's a girl

Macross73 for a mighty fine 1/60 CF.

None of my 1/60's have chips on the die cast parts but then again the toys I play with are a lot bigger, faster and more expensive than plastic planes

I'm not bashing Yamato for broken parts, QC issues or any other thing for that matter. I am just not impressed with what I got for the money I had to pay. I have other figures from Yamato that are very impressive that didn't cost anywhere near the price of the Valk. Neither am I extolling the virtue's of the 1/60 Valks as they are far from perfect (as I did point out ) but I feel that they are better value for money in the current market and provide a better coverage of the TV versions.

GITS is good but there's nothing like a bit of good old fan service now and again so I'll cast a vote for Burst Angel
