    TV vs movie and a hope that Bandai gives us a blue 1S.

    I'm sure the Miranda and Excelsior classes saw many modifications, upgrades, and refits over the decades, so I see no problem having full glow nacelles by the late 24th century, along with varying colors of impulse domes and what not. Retconning the original Excelsior during its role in Star Trek VI to look like a late 24th century ship is just a bizarre thing to do.

    Goddamn I love those cabinets!

    Something about that first pic isn't right... The Yamato 1/48 may look a bit wonky in battroid, but that fighter is still stunning! And having a correctly sized pilot doesn't throw the entire scale off! Marvelous!

    It's Eaglemoss being cheap and/or poor research, which is not new for them. Funny since the magazine it comes with documents the original studio model's journey from Excelsior to Hood to Melbourne to Enterprise-B and finally to the Lakota. There are no glowy bits in the nacelles beyond the new bussard collectors at the front when it became the Enterprise-B. Full glow nacelles only became the norm for Excelsior-class ships when they went full CGI.

    Picked up the XLsior. Despite its imperfections, it's the best painted & completed Excelsior that I've seen.

    Having too many valkyries is a problem lots of us on here would love to have. #firstworldproblems

    Haha thanks. I think I'm going to get a nice sky blue background or something for flying shots. It's incredibly irresponsible to fly an aircraft inside an enclosed hangar. Thank you, sir!

    Yeti stands can easily hold multiple valkyries, so long as you keep the weight balanced so it doesn't tip over.

    Just the blue one as I finished the orange one awhile back. To the camera and beyond!

    DYRL two seaters done and back on the Yeti! Time to finish off the TV two seaters now...

    You're a crazy, crazy dude. I love it!

    Kawamori has given us so many beauties over the years, and I love them all. But it's Roy's (and later Hikaru's) yellow & black skull leader unit that started it all for me.

    It looks like the Bandai Enterprise-A but it's missing some details so that can't be it. Zooming in, there are noticeable seams on the ends of the nacelles, so I'm thinking it's a Diamond Select release.

    I prefer the DYRL mechanical hands myself, so I'm happy Bandai included plenty of those, including the articulated hands. But these are TV valkyries and there are peeps who prefer the TV accurate clown hands, and it's pretty crappy to make them pay extra for a few pieces of unpainted plastic. It's always going to cost way more to sell them separately than to just include them with the valkyrie. Even 2000 yen would be highway robbery, imo.

    Where'd you get the giant Makise from?

    Having to pay extra for TV hands for a TV valkyrie. Bandai, you really are the Comcast of toy makers.

    Hey I remember watching that on TV decades ago. All I really remember is that they got their asses kicked all the goddamn time by every opponent they ever faced. Basically Delta Squadron before Macross Delta. Ordered one anyway because the armor looks cool.

    So do you, Dr. Jones.

    For pilots that won't stay in their seat during, uh, evasive maneuvers, I just put a tiny chunk of blue tack on their butt before sticking them in the cockpit. Keeps them nice and secure in their seat.

    All the landing gear bay doors are completely removable, so it does make masking the bays much easier.

    1/48 decals?

    Lolicon replied to mandio222's topic in Toys

    I would love to purchase a bunch of decal sheets if possible.
  24. Lolicon
    I use Tamiya surface primer, which can be used on metal.
  25. Lolicon
    I just mask the landing gear bays and spray them. No way around it. Bandai makes it impossible to disassemble them otherwise it would be really easy to just deal with the metal landing gear by itself.
