  1. Kanata, there's also the Chinese bootleg 1/55.  It's based after the 200x reissue line and comes with a removable clear canopy.  IIRC, the paint scheme is almost 100% accurate.  It's very rare here in the USA, I've only seen it once on ebay and it the bidding started at 49.99.  Funny because it sold for the equivalent of $5 in China.

    Speaking of which, that reminds me, someone here might still be able to get one.  Need to PM him.

    Is that the one with the LEDs in the nose?

    I think it might have had LED's. Damn I wish I had saved those screenshots. :)

    Here you have:

  2. I just miss the old MW days and their members. I remember the discussions and realize those guys where worth to listen. I even used to know each release date and every variation of toys and many models thanks to them.

    Now we have a bunch of new comers trying to show off, and usually their comments are nothing but selfish trash.

    I even wonder what the hell are some people doing here, they post so much and you can’t read anything Macross on what they wrote.

    Damn, I love this site, but when I read so much nonsense in a thread... makes me sick.

    Is there any mod around?? What the heck is a thread like this still doing here?

  3. the SEED kits come in super-cheap 1/144 and then 1/100 HG. The HG's look good but are not as detailed and have less parts than the MG kits. then you have HGUC kits, which are 1/144 and I guess are like the MG equivalent.

    Well, For least mess and most ease, use the mechanical pencil. I've used it on all my lighter colour kits and it looks great and has a uniform result. When I get home I'll take a pic of my Zeta for you. I also use a 0.1 fine point marker and wipe off any excess with my finger. But make sure not to get any inky fingerprints on your kit!

    And with gundam kits, you don't need to mask at all. You just paint the pieces seperately or partially build it then paint.

    And dont pay attention to guppy, all his kits SUCKS.

    Right Guppy?

  4. If you dont want to truble yourself then apply a FLAT clear coat on the kit (Mr. Clearcoat by gunze sangyo is good) and the use a mechanical pen to make thin lines (sand the tip a bit and you will get thin lines, if you dont do it you will end with double pannel lines).

    The matt clearcoat will erease the "plastic looking" and will make the surfice even and nice... but also the mechanical pen will stay easier. After you finish with the panel lines apply another coat and your done... all in 30 minutes.

  5. Yesterday I put toghether a Blaze Zaku Warrior (1/100).

    The kit is IMO very impressive. Of course it lacks of the feet and hands poseability you can get in a MG and the internal frame (but there is NO Zaku Warrior in MG form anyways).

    The big let down in this kit is the Monoeye wich is nothing but a crappy sticker and the feet poseability as I said. The rest is quite good, at least what you should spect from a HG release.

    Anyways a HG Kit comes with less colored parts and generally speaking less parts than a MG so if you can paint it a bit it would make a big difference.

    I found the kit very well proportiones and poseability is really nice.

    ABS injection is as good as any MG kit.

    You should get it, and if you want you should try a bit of painting just to detail the model a bit. At least the monoeye please!.

    This releases are labeled as 1/100 HG (high Grade) kits. They are NOT Ungraded.

    The only Ungraded Seed Kits AFAIK are the small 1/144. As long it reads HG, HGUC, MG and PG they are all good, at least the newest kits.

  6. Could be, but a Revised Monster I dont think so.

    sells wasnt that great from what I heard. Why bothering with a new release?

    A Sticker to tell the difference between a limited and a normal release? :blink: Maybe in the box? TRUs maybe? (ALA 1/60 CF?) anyways, I dont buy it.

  7. Well, I have my toys FOR MYSELF... and I plan to be buried with them HAHAHA

    I guess I will never buy doubles just for my kid... he can play with bootlegs now and buy his own collection of hentai or whatever he likes when he grows up and have enough money to support his toys AND his daddy. :D

  8. My wife sometimes complains a bit about me spending sooooo much money on toys, but on the other hand she is allways buying me more.

    She got me the PG Zaku, PG GP 01, MG Nu Gundam, etc. and several action figures (I lost count).

    She allways shows a lot of interest in my models and toys, last time she went on a trip (3 months trip) I was amazed how she recogniced all my new toys, I even hide them on my shelfs. Well, I made a short "business trip" to HK :ph34r: while she was away.

    All I can say is I have the greatest wife in the world, I dont deserve such beauty.

  9. Rob. I see you are a servant of that lady... just like all of us married mans.

    Fulcy. Sorry, truth hurts sometimes.

    So... What IF you two switch proyects??? So Fulcy can have a supper cool looking proyect like the SPT that is gonna be finished and deleivered in the next 3 years... and Rob can take another 8 years to finish Fulcy's armored gearwalk???

    hu? Sounds cool he? hu?

    :lol:

  10. Hummm judjing from what you have done in a year, I think 10 more to finish the armor is "conservative" :rolleyes:

    Really, please keep working on that armor!!! I can inmagine how cool a STP Bat in a 1/48 scale will look!

    I want recasts soooo badly.

    Maybe you should talk to the wife and pospone a bit the house? Hu? :lol:

    by the way, your proyect is 1.000.000x cooler than Fulcy's Armored valk, just dont tell him :ph34r:

  11. I am glad to see this proyect is "sort of" alive.

    I would really really really like to see it finished.

    but considering how fast Rob is... that would be in 10 more years???

    I hope you finish it Rob.

    Too bad Yoshi left the forums and his Macross adiction, he was crazy about the STP
