WOW... Great modelling on the VF-2SS. It looks spot on. Cheers!!

AH, I used to have questions like that...

Welcome to MW!

Well the VF-0S with Ghost fighter is pretty neat. Nora's SV-51 is also a good one. YF-19 with Fast Pack kit and so far the YF-21 are all great valks with not much problems.

Hope it helps...

I had finally the chance to watch the episode yesterday. Mecha porn is always nice and I love the CGI thus far.

I only have 3 Yamatos, but up to now, all are great, so I'm very happy with them.

As for the complaints, they don't pose a problem to me as long as it's not plain Yamato bashing for the sake of it.

Never had that kind of problem on mine... The heatshield thing seems a reasonnable explanation though.

I'm guessing it's referring to the upcoming YF-21. Maybe the G-man got himself a production run version of the bird. I remember him saying that it due out end of April-early May.

I for one loved the Mecha designs. The story was lacking and cheesy, but the bits of action were nice.

Robotech introduced me to the concept and really made me a Macross fan afterwards.

That's a great shot you there got UN Spacy.

Man great work on the new site layout. I love it. Cheers to you and the hard work put into this.

The new 1/60 VF-1 looks really nice, but it isn't enough for me to sell my 1/48s. I'm happy with them and so what if they are not in scale with the others.

EDIT: Spelling and grammar.

Thanks for the scans Graham.

The YF-21 looks really great. I love the "real" landing gears. I can't wait for April to arrive so that I can get this baby shipped to me.

EDIT: SPELLING.

Just tried it out in FSX Acceleration. It seems to be working just fine. I tried out the Blank textured one. Very nice work on the model. It's nice to have the thrust vectoring. Great job Chronocidal.

EDIT : Spelling.

I always planned to put 101 on Hikarus 1J if/when i got him...

I made some cutom 101 markings on the right wing and on each side of the nose. I thought it added alo to the plane. I'll try and dig out the pics of it.

EDIT: Pics found and uploaded, I also added skull emblems on the tail fins and the heatshield.

Even if it were at 50% discount, it would still be too expensive for my wallet to handle. Changing the mode from time to time is enough for me.

IMHO the Wave's 1/5000 DYRL version is far superior in design, but ultimatly it's all a question of taste.

Hero VF-1 first, mainly Hikaru's DYRL VF-1S.

Here some interesting pics from a large macross picture set I downloaded.

They seem to be coming out of Mr March's M3.

Got to watch the episode today. The animation is well done and the CGI blend is well executed, the textures are really nice. I'm beginning to like the design of the VF-25. The Hikaru's theme is my favorite. The VF-171 are also very nice. I can't wait to see more.

Obviously they should seal their products.

Thanks for the good advices all, I think I'll "stick" with my 3rd party stickers as I want a realistic finish that'll hold, but I'm not interested in putting hours of fine work to put waterslides on.

As far as I know there's no real way to completely stop stickers peeling. You can prevent it for a good long while by thoroughly degreasing the surface to which they're applied. That way the adhesive actually does its job. For a really nice finish though, waterslide transfers and a good clear coat are the way to go.

I cleaned the surface with rubbing alcohol and waited for it to dry, I then carefully cut the sticker off the sheet and apply it with my x-acto knife whose blade is clean. Throughout the process, I made sure not to touch the stickers with my fingers.

So from the look of things, Waterslide decals would be better than stickers?

Greetings,

It's my first time posting in this section of the forum and I hope my question goes here.

I asked this in the Newbie ANSWERS thread, but hardly got a the response I was hoping for. Since lots of you guys apply what seems to be stickers to your custom jobs, how do you make them hold? I got great stickers from a 3rd party, but they are beginning to peel-off after about 6-8 months.

Is there anything I could do to make my stickers stay on my 1/48 VF-1, 1/48 Fast & Strike part and my 1/60 YF-19?

Thanks in advance and sorry if this doesn't belong here.

Early birded the sucker on HLJ.com and like Dobber said : "Now we just need a VF-11."
