Just finished watching The Midnight Club on Netflix, and it was a very good series. Not exactly what you imagine, it is a mix of the main story and some odd happenings and an anthology series told from the narrative of the main characters. Really worth a look.

 

I've been tempted to watch this one, might give it a go tonight. 

Hi all, sorry for the 20 questions about spray paint colors yet the closest Hobby Shop near me that carries Tamiya is like a 2 hour drive, so ordering online is my easiest option. 

Between the old 1/100 Bandai kit and what they used for their HM-R VF-2SS, is there any spray paint shade that comes close to the Super Armor Pack color? (Or something in between). I thought about using an Olive Drab but wanted to try this first. 

Thank you.

You could try Gundam toys, and see if those hands will work. Or try G-System articulated hands.

 

Thanks @Thom, long ago I used to have some of those Gundam toys, those might actually work. 

I did not see that coming! 

With next week being the Season Finale, I hope it's not a super long wait until the next one. 

I masked off all of the black sections and gave it a good coat of Tamiya Primer, I might do one more. Next will be some actual white Tamiya spray paint. I need to find some decals & fixed pose hands... (Suggestions on hands that might scale with this?) 

Will be nice to have a VF-11C with the other 11's I have.

No. He was delirious and confused Alicent for Rhaenyra. He was talking about Aegon the Conqueror and the prophecy, not his son.

 

Whoa! Thanks for the clarification, now I want to re-watch that ending again.

Poor Kakizaki, what did they do to you?

When you're desperate for a Kakizaki figure... oof!

Maybe I didn't hear things correctly, but did Viserys actually backtrack his earlier decision about succession?  If so, did he finally accept the truth about his daughter and her "bastards"? 

 

 

That's what I got from it.

All Viserys wanted was to keep his family together. But we all know where that's heading.

History reminds us what happens when the figurehead of the family passes.

It's going to hit the fan hard next week. 

Assuming that you can find these old VF-2JA kits, is there any current pricing for these? I'm not holding my breath with Bandai's HM-R Liner to make these. Any thoughts are appreciated. 

(Yes I've been checking Ebay & Mandarake for these to pop up again) 

A YF-21 would have been a no brainer for my wallet not to mention that despite its non-popularity, a parts forming YF-21 would solve a lot of those Anime Magic transformation issues. This 29 & the YF-19 are a solid pass for me. 

Also @Shawn,  I'm all on board with that M3 license!

Is this real? Where did they announced vf-5000? I went to their website and no mention of this being developed. Also, strange they are releasing yf-21 after having two version of yf-19 is their next line up.

Go here. 

Yeah that $480.00 for shipping is probably a deal breaker for many.

Then again, imagine the shipping box all of those parts in smaller boxes has to come in... 

If anyone here has the cash & are thinking "screw it, I'll take the plunge" here's one a few complete sets that are available.

Damn, this particular release has become a shelf warmer it seems...is this not popular? so much surplus available shortly after the release.

This is another world wide release so the shops in Japan aren't being blitz at the moment, yet they'll sell out soon enough. Like many I'm not a fan of Delta but the Mecha designs for many are worth collecting, the VF-31A & this YF-29 are high on my list of favorites. 

If you're still looking for a Max YF-29, there's a handful on Mandarake right now.

This is one of them 👇👇👇

@azrael While I've never personally played the games before I've watched all of the Last of Us Gameplay via "theRadBrad" on YouTube. Hopefully this series stays loyal to the games & story. On a side note the game "Days Gone" would make a cool series too. 

@electric indigo I wondered why she looked familiar, between Pedro & Bella the acting should be pretty solid in this. 

While doing a random Macross search I saw these on Ebay.

An hmr repaint probably wouldn’t happen any time soon. I wouldn’t count it out, but definitely not anytime soon. There’s always a chance that Bandai might do a new kit if the YF-19 one does well, but I’d think they would do some of the other plus stuff first. Either way I’d love to see this old kit finished up. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen it completed

If Bandai ever makes additional VF-2SS's I'm all on board. For now these old kits will do and for sure, I'll post some pics as their new paint jobs progress. Last time I worked on one of these 2SS kits was like 16 years ago and my paint skills then sucked, it'll be a big improvement this time.  

Hope this is good. ✌✌✌

@MechTech Where there's a will there's a way of getting another canopy plus a pilot... looks like I lost that part too. 

@joscasle  Your VF-1A Super looks great! Mind if I ask what paints you used for the brown & boosters? I slowly working on a Cannon Fodder too. 

Add another project to the stack, I'm feeling pretty confident that Bandai will NOT be releasing an HM-R VF-2SS Green Stripe (White Ox) so I got lucky and found these two dirt cheap on Ebay. I'll give these a proper paint job and customize with the green stripe. For being an old 1/100 scale kit, these still look quite nice in fighter mode. Also, the box art is some of the best in the Macross Franchise IMHO.

Show didn’t miss a beat with the new cast. They’re excellent.

Same thoughts on the new actresses, I'm really enjoying this series so far and luckily for me I never read the books unlike GoT, so everything is new for me.

Yeah, you're right the grey VF-1A is the VF-X

Nice! Sure wish Arcadia would do reissues of Valkyries like the VF-X, Cavaliers & Roy's Low-Vis VF-1S.
