  1. Cool... I'm not suprised. There's are alot of strong arguments and facts that the product's flawrate is too high. That's a bad thing for consumers. To think that a company could get away with these figures is not most likely <_<

    ( Robotech.com forum is running very slow, anyone got the same problem here?)

  2. I'm considering to skip the missiles... those little things can wait..

    nooo..or at least make a downloadable version of the leg with the hatch..

    Oke... otherwise I can't competewith Toynami... :p

    Here's some more colorfull joy! If you take a look at the photo you can't notice the gaps between the missile hatches... but in reality if you take a look at the whole leg it's not that bad at all. :) (landing gear is going to be added in the future... no space actually). This time the pics look a bit betterusing nightflash setting.

    btw... those missiles are the easiest to make... ;)

  3. Finally got my Alpha on Saturday. Didn't have much time to play with it but did get to transform it once and give it a once-over. Initial thoughts:

    -Most everything was in pretty good at a glance. Only problem I had was with the shoulder radar thingy. The swivel base kept falling off.

    -Damn, it's small! I knew it was going to be small but that still couldn't prepare me for actually seeing the thing... and standing it next to my Gakken.

    -Definitely heavy. This was impressive.

    -Floppy arms. I was somewhat expecting this. It still sucks to be stuck with it, though.

    All in all it's pretty good. I still think it was over-priced and should have been around the $40 mark. Maybe $50. I think I may end up only getting the Shadow but we'll see what happens. I know my wife would prefer me not getting very much in the way of toys but that's just sillyness on her part :D:p

    For now, I think I'll just save my $$ for a reissue Predaking ;)

    I'm saving my money for inkcartridges, glue and high quallity paper.... :rolleyes:

  4. I admit the foldlines are a bit of a problem... it takes a lot of time to fix that.

    I could have exported the model to lines only but the flaps just overlap the surface and that's what I don't want.

    But I'll try to fix it later with some effects.

    But I've decided to keep it that way for the time being.. it doesn't look bad on the test model.. the dotted lines could be mistaken as rivets.

    As for future papermodels... it may be possible to make one but I will need help from others. It's simply too much work.
