    Much like a Thompson M1A1 & Thompson M1928 SMG look very similar they are also quite different, same goes for the Macross. Structurally the TV SDF-1 is a simpler design, larger bridge, Shoulders & cannons, less boosters and the legs have far less details and compartments while the DYRL version is a more rugged design and smaller bridge which IMO makes this SDF-1 appear bigger, legs have window compartments where the city is located, shoulders & railguns are upgraded too. The feet are a bit different and thrusters as well between the two ships. Main guns definitely vary in design, As a Macross purist, I'm not a fan of the TV SDF-1 with the ARMD's attached... its one or the other for me.

    Pre-ordered mine from HLJ last night, can't wait!! I think if sales are really good for this kit, Hasegawa will make a TV version as well.

    Thank you! For the last few years I considered making my own helmet or having a master sculptor make me a correct Zero style helmet, but scratch building isn't my thing and having it custom made was REALLY expensive. So I figured I use this Flight Helmet for now (despite it being a DYRL model) and it will look great with my Zero flight suit! As for covering up the screws, I found some various caps at Home Depot but haven't tried them yet, if they work I'll post some pics!

    Thanks Jason, its been a fun project so far. Mostly just a lot of sanding, primer and then flat gray, masking off the Visor & red arrows was the trickiest part. When I got my helmet it was just gloss white with a black visor. Will look like Shin Kudos Mac Zero helmet when completed.

    That is one of the most detailed builds I've seen in a long time, amazing job MT!

    One step closer to finishing my helmet, Lightning bolts and a green Visor Shield then I'm done!

    It was actually 75 degrees & dry today, a perfect day for work on my Helmet. One step closer, Lightning bolts are next!

    https://www.yahoo.com/movies/jupiter-ascending-debuts-to-muted-crowd-at-109411922652.html Sounds like there was pretty much no love for this movie at the Sundance Film festival.

    Overall I really enjoyed the movie and the cast was superb, Michael Keaton is such a great actor, Ed Norton was awesome!

    Thanks guys! The background is actually my workout mat. Now that I own one, I really wish the VF-11B & C weren't so bloody expensive or I'd buy multiples!

    Do you agree?

    You are a Master of model making/modifications and you're making my baby the VF-2SS look even better!!

    Does anyone sell a Rounded Visor like that but tinted Green? Same shade as Roy's Helmet from Zero.

    .... How is there still money to fund this train wreck?

    EXO: Anytime! I thought it was a good start and above all the acting was very good. Loved the watch scene. Anime: If they made sure to point out Cassandra bought new clothes for Cole with the price tag still on, we might get real details on how the Time-machine works.... hopefully. Keith: I love the original movie, but so far this series is off to a good start, give it a shot!

    Anyone here watch 12 Monkeys tonight? For a SyFy series, I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would.

    Congrats on the new house & this superb build cool8or!!! You've reminded me again why the YF-21 is my favorite Valkyrie!!

    Packing paper, foam-peanuts, bubble wrap, news paper or even thin craft paper would solve this issue. I sell WWI & WWII Helmets around the world for museums & collectors and while those helmets are made of solid steel, I still securely pack them up good & snug. This however is fairly fragile plastic sent with a thin cloth cover as its only padding, while materials like new paper do add some weight it works & is better than nothing.
