I’m not a fan of enamel paint. They tend to rub off easily unless it’s just for weathering recessed areas.

 

Primer and lacquer paint. It takes a lot to fully coat the die cast.

I see. I thought Enamel works best for metal. So lacquer is still the best, I presume.

And those were handbrushed too? Right, @Lolicon?

 

Char's Zaku looks way more awesome than the Gundam. 

I'm sure it is.

 

480p

Yeah. At 480p, they can fit the complete series in 2 Blu-Ray discs.

So I'm assuming this is not a Blu-Ray treatment release then? Since it's just 480p. Would be forgivable though if it's using 720p. That way it's not super pixelized if you're watching it on a big TV (1080p TV and above).

 

You have to man, it’s Char.  It’s the Death Machine of Loum.

I would love too, Ridden. But I’m at the point where I need to cut down some purchases and just focus on what I really really need. 

 

My blu-ray of the series and summary movies came in today. Haven't put it in yet to watch but... 52 episodes spread across 2 discs?

Are the episodes in 1080p format?

 

I thought the only emblem was the chest tampo?

Yup. The chest mid-section. I was thinking that the chest tampo were more of the chest missile covers that has d01. My bad.

Anyways, besides that and the canard armors, you also need to change the delta numbers on both booster missile rack.

 

Do we know how tall Minmay will be?

15.5cm. It's probably around 1/10 scale. Minmay's height is 158cm (5'2").

 

There's just the issue of the chest tampo, and the shoulder striping that matches Arad's scheme.

And the dragon emblem too.

Ouch. I've ordered my HMR VF-4 Lightning III from them so hopefully their reputation will change once I receive it. Coz it's a 'paid' preorder. 

@Lolicon
Enamel paint for the landing gear, yes?

 

DX VF-1J is one beefy toy!

Compared with the HMR DX VF-25F.

I LOVE IT, @Lolicon!

And at the same time, I'm hating you for doing such a superb job. Coz I can't. 

 

Part of me wants Arcadia to produce a 1:3000 scale Flash Back Megaroad 01. But I'm not sure if I would buy it as it would be around 24 inches long and would probably be way more than I would want to pay.

Have to agree it will. They might put this in their resin 3D print line rather than a full production so yeah, it will cost more.

 

too much temptation.   

True. But I'm still not giving in to Char's Zaku this time. 

But I'm crying inside. 

 

yeah i did

'Grats sir! 

 

ah damn just saw it

 

well i don't have to pay now at least

Nice! So you did PO this time, David?

Does it feature the Radome Type unit?

 

I remember trying to contact Bandai to get an exclusive in one of their US stores and they were terrible. Had zero clue about what to do. I don't know why they even have a US operation if they don't know what's going on. Hopefully HLJ will get her.

Are you asking Bandai to have an exclusive items in the 'US Stores' for 'Macross' stuff? Or just anything in genera? Because if it's Macross, then you'll already know why they couldn't sell here directly.

 

I need a link to order, then I'll check some of the proxies. Not missing Minmay after finally getting the chance at a good figure.

Keep on checking Arcadia's website. Because they haven't put Minmay there for purchase. If they do, then you can forward that link to any proxy service you're going to use.

This is their feed where they post items that are available: https://mobile.twitter.com/jungle_tuhan

Yeah cool.  The whole armor to be light and dark grey with the colored parts left alone.  I just wanted to see how it would look like instead of white armor.

Ok. Will do it on Monday morning.

 

Can you color the armor in different greys like the VF-25 armor just to see how it looks?

Hey sh9000. The recolor file is at work. I'll do it on Monday if that's ok?

Question, are you referring on the whole armor to be grey or just recolor the colored parts to grey?

 

And yellow eyes and new markings are great because it better matches the appearance in Ready Player One.  

-b.

Couldn't agree with you here, B. For me that one looks more MG ver.3.0. 

 

Thanks for the drawing the pic noel! Red speaks to me more than the orange..if only bandai did a red scheme instead!!
I hope bandai would release better colors, but seeing as how expensive it would be to collect all of them, i wonder if bandai would actually do it.

Any armors for the A would be incredible tho. That would be the hottest potato. 

You're welcome. Yeah, would love to have a red scheme of that armor.

 

Double?  (* faints *)

31C Supers during PO is Y8424.

31J Supers during PO is Y7344.

At NY right now 31C Supers costs Y14900 and 31J Supers costs Y18000. So you still got yours bargained.
