Danm snail mail. i still havnt gotten mine yet. i was hoping to have them by this weekend. its a 3 day weekend. looking good though it lets me see where ill have to put the most work into it.

did you get the 19 as well or just the 21?

Yeah, I Got the 19 too!. I'm starting to wish I would have done that one first. The 19 has alot less major pieces. The cleanup process my have been easier.

I hope you get your kits soon. They're fun and a challenge to build.

I've never had a problem and I've got 4 fp's with takatoys decals on them.

Try taking a decal and putting iton part of the valk.See if it'll stick to that.

Hi Scand.....

First I preshaded the panel lines in black and then I used a mix of MM enamel sand FS 33531 and Humbrol enamel gloss white 22.

Cheers

I was looking at the mm sand the other day and thought it might look to beige in color. I ending up buying mm light ivory. I thought I would try that out. It may be to light though. Maybe I'll pick up the sand aswell and try mixing the two.

thanks for the info.

Here is another pic from the top. Sorry guys I though I resized the pic.

Atleast you can get plenty of detail

This pic was taken after ten hours of work. There still along way to go.

More sanding is ahead tommorow. My arm feels like it is about to fall off.

More cleanup.

Pretty much all of the pieces have alot of flash like the piece below. One thing I found though, is that the resin is real easy to sand. Suprisingly, It holds up very well too! It's nothing compared to working with a Hasegawa.

Some of the clean up.

Here's another pic next to a vf-1j!

Well, Got my kits today! I've been looking forward to these for a long time. Major props to Myersjesse and MSLZ22 for picking these backup after the initial project.

The kits are a little intimidating at first escpecially if youv'e never worked with resin before. It's not that bad though! I can see were mechamaniac was complaining about vacuming resin dust. I'm going to be coughing that poo up for the next week.

The Yf-21 and YF-19 are simply beautiful. Though both kits need some major clean up. There is alot of flash to sand away and like every one has seemed to say, the pieces just don't automatically fit together. The 21 alone wil probably take a tube of putty to fill in the gaps. Not knocking the work that went in to these though. These kits are simply amazing! Also, huge to say the least. The 21 dwarfs a 1/48 Yamato.

Well This is going to be my first buildup on MW so any suggestions are welcome.

That's really nice! What type of paints did you use to get beige just right?

It has a very clean look to it!

Baaaah! Haseagawa. I refuse to by any more of there kits until they make a vf-11.

Auction

I just find this unusual and interesting at the same time. I wonder if it has a harmony gold logo on it too!

Kurt any chance we can get a look at the underbelly? The kit is beautiful!

I have a 02 EVA SOC for 45 bucks shipped. The only Kaiyodo I had broke right out of the package

I'd like to track one down for purchase or trade of...whatever.

I know it's not Macross but I know there are fans here.

I was in a specialty shop last week and they had two.. I'm not sure of the exact price but it wasn't cheap... If you need help tracking it down lmk...

I wish Yamato would completly re-sculpt the vf-11 even more so than the 19. Those tailfins are just disgusting.

This is a freaking cool picture.

Are the guyver III's still selling at sixty+ dollars?

In the famous words of Chris Rock....Gooooood Lawd!

Link to overpriced toys.

I did a search for these and I can't find one for less than 28 bucks.

Did I mention this was.........

GAY!!!!!!!

I really, really, really wanna know what the story is on that Yf-19.

If anybody here collects cells... This is the one to have. If I had three hundred bucks to blow, I'd pick it up.

Auction

I really feel this is justified.........

GAY!!!!!!!

Like the title says, I need a regulator BAD! Can I find a decent one at Home Depot? Where should I look? The ones I've seen online coast around 60 bucks. I'd like to get one ASAP for as little as possible.

Thanks

I wquld love to see the vf-17 recast.

Thats cool. I wanna se a Macross smiley just like that.
