CHAVAKAISER: WOW!!! is that a daigokin mazinger? 8 lbs. of solid metal hehe

hey guys, here's my very first macross VF, a 1S reissue. i've finished panel lining it (Tamiya acrylic german grey): tnx

1. married with three kids. my wife don't like me to continue with this expensive hobby, but collecting is my passion. she still don't know the actual prices of my toys yet. i always ask for a new sticker price from the hobby shop, price lowered, and stick them to the boxes hehe. a $140 figure would be $50 in the new sticker price hehe. my main collection is japanese diecast super robots (from SOC bandai, Aoshima, Max Factory,..), now i'm starting with macross VFs. 2. i recently bought the 1/48 1S hikaru reissue, this is my very first macross figure. well initially i planned to get only one definitive macross figure, but i'm really liking the 1S toy. now i plan to get the fastpack, the hikaru 1J and gbp, the focker 1S, and a low viz or stealth too. i am not a completist, i live in the philippines, our money is so devaluated here. toys are very expensive. i just try to collect the main robot(s) in a series. 3. how do i sustain the collection? well my wife and i have a good set up in our finances. we both work, i pay for the bills and the kids' education and stuff, what is left is for me, and the wifey buys her stuff from her salary. and it is always smart to save and be prudent with ur expenses.

tnx for the info bro. i was planning to panel line my new 1S hikaru 1/48 (my 1st macross figure) with gundam markers (grey), then remove excess with gunze sangyo thinner. t'was nice i've read this thread before hand, gunze sangyo thinner is bad for yamato plastic after all.

hey guys i'm new here, please be gentle is isoprophyl the same as isopranol alcohol? dilute it with water? tnx in advance. (No pics allowed in sig. Pic removed by admin)
