  1. http://www.darkhorizons.com/news/15473/har...fourth-mad-max-

    A Mad Max film WITHOUT Mel Gibson. What a great idea!!

    (John Cleese often tells the tale about how some yanks were going to do their own version of Fawlty Towers but they had written Basil out.)

    That's better than Mel being in it, since he's like 80. Guess we could hook that big ass V8 from Road Warrior to his wheelchair.

    How the hell would Faulty Towers work without Basil? That's lame...

  2. Really? I got two of them in one shot.

    Then your lucky. I had to go to like 6 different ones, and ended up finding one, the only one left in Lake Geneva, WI. over an hour from my house. Got lucky with it, I stopped in for a soda and some windshield fluid and figured I'd check. And the one I got's box was a bit beat up as well.

  3. The links are probably broken because dalong.net uses the most atrocious site design tool known to XHTML (frames):

    Here is the link to the normal PG of GP01:

    http://dalong.net/review/pg/p08/p08_p1.htm

    Or just go to the main page and navigate there:

    http://dalong.net

    But it's a great site :)

    I always consult dalong before making a buy, except for PG kits because I know I'll like them. I love how he's been doing Koto kits more lately as well. I recommend checking out his display setup, it's nuts!

  4. Thanks everyone! Didn't had much time for model building the last weeks so I spend a few hours on the launch arm today.

    It's not very anime accurate but you can say it's an ufo-catcher Macross Frontier style.

    Thanks for watching.

    Really like that arm A LOT. Very cool.

  5. Hi.

    Can any one tell me if these decals need to be used? I re watch Macross Plus again and no U.N. Spacy mark in painted on the YF-19. And the low viz Macross Decals???

    Thanks

    I think all but the gray kite logos are used. The UN spacy decals I know are used, I think the industries stickers are as well.

  6. I have a question about the water slide decals. Has anyone had a difficult time with them? I had already messed up two of the decals, one of which disappeared and then found dried up under my thumb. Im very close to abandoning the water slides and using the clear stickers instead.

    Anyone have tips for those decals? I already have the decal setter solution and plenty of clear gloss paint, I just need some direction.

    Microset. Brush some where the decal goes, do the warm water decal dunk, apply decal sliding it off the backing (cut the sheet up), apply more via light brushing on the decal, use a q-tip to set in final place. Allow to dry, then Clearcote.

  7. Gotta agree with you, the SV-51 is underrated!!! It's a great design and the toy version is awesome. Altough the YF-21 is my favorite, the SV-51 is up there in my top five list.

    Yeah, I'm not a big fan of Nora's (I hate the color scheme) but Ivanov's is just intense. When I cleared out a lot of my Mac toys, I said if I only kept one it would be my Ivanov, problems and all. The mass productions aren't to shabby to look at as well IMO.
