Two thumbs up for sure!!

Great. Will PM. Thanks!

Hahaha thanks!

Cap, long time no speak! Amazing feat as usual. Any room for one more order?

Hi folks! Long time~ That FB cel reminded me of the cel collection I have been holding on to for more than 13 years now. I have not bought a single cel since but I have not parted with them either. So I figured I would dust off my binder and browse through them which are pleasing to the eyes. Some of you who have been here long enough may recall my previous threads from more than 10 years ago that pretty much showed all my collection. At any rate, the following are the FB cels that I have. The second photo is of two cels overlayed with each other, since I keep them in the same folder. Enjoy~

It's been a while since I signed in and sorry for not responding to your text earlier Fortress_Maximus. I for one have not quit collecting cels, but with all of the stuff going on in my life right now, it is on an indefinite hold and I simply did not have the time or the peace of mind to resume. However, the collection of cels I have right now are indeed my personal property #1.

Hi to Captain and the rest of the guys here~^^ It's been so long since I've been away and for that apologize. I am now living in Seoul, Korea but if Captain could ship it over here, please put me down for one!!! Thank you for reaching out by PM "cool8or"~

Nice build!

I have not been back here (not just this thread but to MW) in close to 3 years, which is when I left Hong Kong. There seem to have been quite a few new additions to Mokman's collection. Congrats! I have traveled to Tokyo and Osaka a few times over the past 2 years or so but really were not able to find any Cel of interest. Hopefully, things could change with the 30th anniversary hype~ Wishing you all the best for 2013!

Do you have room for one more Extra? I have not been here in months and I can't believe I missed this! Valkyrie13

Nice collection, guys! I haven't been here in a while... long holidays and trying to pay my taxes given my bonus had pretty much disappeared. As they say in the industry, my job is my bonus. Anyways, once things go back on track (only God knows when), I will resume this expensive hobby of mine and also upload the cels here and RS. I promise.

Not to wander off topic too much but let's not forget that English is not the only language that uses the Roman alphabet... French, Spanish, Italian, German, just to name a few. Wouldn't "Michael" read in German sound something like "Mikhail" or "Mihael"? Note that the English influence into Japan is only a relatively recent post WWII turn of events. Prior to that, Japan's exposure to the western world came from its contact with the Portugese in the 15~16th century. Post WWI, Japan had very close ties with Germany from which it imported weapons technology as well as its legal system.

Payment sent for 3.

Thanks a lot. I recently saw another one quite similar to it (probably a scene before or after the one I have) on Yahoo Japan going for a reasonable amount. It seems that the economy is hurting cel collectors just as much.

John, please check PM. I PM'ed you asking about shipping 3 kits at once. And you thought no one would do it!!

My new collections: I really need to get my collection on RS soon. Sorry to the fellow MWers who have offered to help out. Give me a couple of months to buy myself a better digital camera.

Definitely interested!!!

Buying a home and buying an ent unit is cool! But those can always wait. This is like a "once in a lifetime" opportunity though!!

I got one myself yesterday and I have to agree as a mecha fan. The story guide was ok and there is even a reference to "pine" cake and Ozma... how this might have caused the older fans to go "oh-oh~" in light of what happened to Focker and his pine salad. Also picked up the December issue of Dengeki Hobby with the good article on a modified VF-25S. Too short though. Graham, where can I find these lingering copies of Hobby Japan (November issue)? I can't seem to find them any more in HK?

I believe that is the resin kit that Andy (Valk009) offered to MWers here several months ago.

Wolfx, that was very nicely done. In fact, I liked it better than the actual ending.

Real modelers would buy 3 kits and make them in each of Fighter, Gerwalk and Battroid mode and glue each of them in place.

I actually had a different take on this and perhaps because I was raised in an Asian culture. Alto enjoys flying as a means of an escape from fate, destiny or instincts, etc. Alto clearly was a great actor and was born a true artist. He can touch the hearts of others with his acting (Kabhuki actor - a princess). But some reason, whether it's because of his mother's death or juvenile rage or just puberty, he is discontent and runs off trying to do something else. He's good at flying technically but doesn't get to put his "soul" into it like he did for acting. Towards the end, he realizes his role or his part in the overall scheme of things, and flies his valk not for the fun of it or as a means of escape but to reach out to Ranka who needs his help at man kind's most gravest moment. He is able to elevate his piloting skills to "art" by uniting his artistic mind with his technical abilities, taking it up a notch to a whole new demension. Sort of Alto breaking his own spiritual and mental barrier... if you will.

Sorry... I haven't been here in weeks due to business travels. I am in for 2 at least and possibly 3. Hopefully, this will boost demand. Thanks, Cap't.

Same here. It goes without saying the quality is superb. Bring on the comanchero!!
