Decal sheet??nice..but looks like im gonna have to hand paint the skull 1-s colors though.

MMMM I smell group buy...five packs????My translator isnt working on this page, wheres this guy located?

Liking the Stwrs stuff though...I woulda died for that....nice...

Re the backdrop: Ahh, now you are talking. I've done something similar with a Star Wars Playset I made for the Kids, see below:

I used thick card to form part of a large hangar bay which doubled as the trench run when reversed, the rest was made of foamcore. The kids have loved playing with it so much that I am constantly having to re-build sections everytime the "Rebel Scum" destroy it. I have been toying with a similar idea for theis project as well.

I have just bought a Cara Works set of mini kits 1/144 scale and I am wanting to create a small display for them but I've been inundated with work lately so I've had to put my Macross Base on hold very temporerily.

I am really impressed with the friendly and encouraging feedback I'm getting here which is putting pressure on me to create!

If you've got some in less than excellent condition, send em my way. Ping me and let me know what you want for it. Better I take em off your hands then they sit around in a sorry state so make me an offer and I'll counter offer for less!!!

But really, if they were in close to throw away or beat to hell condition, I may have a use for them, so let me know! Parts are welcome too!

No need for ones in good condiiton, I've got enough of those.

No recasts, please. Can't seem to work with those so well...

Thanks!

Haa i got a minty vf-1s im selling for say $100, i can throw it around for you and make it look battered and bruised....

Whoa there big guy,,, nice and easy...

First of all I am kinda glad I didnt get the first run , I would 've ended up with 4-5 defective shirts..

that woulda prob made me ..so maybe my tardiness was a + to me in that case..

Not tryin ta dis or anything...not asking you to pander to our wants either.. .just this is not what EXo's thread was selling...not because WE dont like it..because it's differant than the sample posted, with no mention of moving the graphic...understand OUR frustration, WE cannot have a "good" con shirt??.

believe me i hate whining and complaining...but I just want to show off that sick little SD Rohby drew up..sucha good design it deserves to be centered.....

I believe in one PM I did offer to front the production of a second run-T, if you are willing to send me some contact info, I will front the third run..(providing enough people still want to see this centered on T).

Im not going to PANDER to people's wants. these are limited runs. this is ALSO why i HATE doing second runs. You people like to whine and complain. You had plenty of time to get the first run, Granted there were issues outside of my control, such as the crap job of silkscreening. You were too late to get the first run too bad. You knew the shirt was gonna be there. Crap silkscreening aside, it is your fault for not getting there on time to get some.

You dont want this run because its not the way YOU like it? THEN DONT BUY IT. Dont sit there and complain. Make your own shirt. That is what I did. And I love it the way I have it.

That guy.....makes everything cool for himself and sells us s*..,he said the same thing about last years con shirt and long sleeves...

He even managed to get the Th centered for himself but not for us??even after everyone was like wtf????..thanks .....

The reason you were left holding the bag is because that is not what was offered to begin with..

I'll prob end up buying these anyway , cutting them up and frickin sowing onto a jacket....

I did make a hoody. for myself though. But it is like the shirt except the Large thunder hammer is in the center of the chest.

On our usually boring daily commute from work and running errands my girlfriends son was like "what's that, a robot or sumthing??? on the back of that truck..""see over there " he points..

I saw what he was seeing, a large robot arm, but I thought it was a large factory robot.."Cool " i said giving it a second look,,as i made my move to pass on the right i noticed it was bipedal......"OH HELL NO!!It's frickin Skull1!!!" Drove a couple extra bloxs to get a good pic..

The reason I posted here is because it had custom decals/paint job. On the gun pod and leg it had TEK9Cycles graphic.. maybe the owner is Macross fan..???

Here's their site, it even shows a good pic of the valk..TEK9

I pulled over to talk to the guy hauling it and he said he didnt know what it was, just moving it...then he grabbed his cellphone and gave some guy directions to his location..

We drove away kinda stoked...these things are Toynami and the sculpt isn't the best but come on it's a 5' 1S...

NO TO THE PERMA BAN!!!!

Yes he acted out toward mods with the name calling...bad taste..but mods dont take it personally.

Yes he made a new account..worst of his offenses....for which he should get temp ban..sorry bro..

(consider it his rock bottom, he had to have it)

Is limiting his posts possible? Maybe like 3 a day...

Maybe there should be a rule...post must be like 3 real sentiences to qualify... but even this seems too strict..

HE did post alot, but come on, really?, like many said just scroll though..

His enthusiasm for MACROSS is just what we needed...it seemed that everyone was getting

"ho hum" bored about Macross world..nobody's updating the main page..model section???toys??

Same dozen or so people contributing to the threads...everyone just lurks...

If you met him you would either like him or .

He's kinda like Mystery Science Theate3000... You are either gonna get his sense of humor or not.

IMHO he's a funny, enthusiastic, animated guy. ( how i would be if i wasn't so serious and depressed )

LET him back on the Macross,,it's cold in space....maybe let his toes get a little cold to teach him a thing or two but don't leave him floating...(anyone remember- HAL?? HAL ??? OPEN the bay doors HAL!!!HAL??)

Seen alot of new people here, maybe give it another shot.....

I'm looking for these kits..these are the Bandai Honke SD World Series.

I took this from Ebay...

I just cannot see paying $50-60 for it........yet............

Heres the guys auction to be fair...SD kit

If someone wants to gets this and sell me the little head valk that comes with the big headvalk???thats what i'm really after..

I am actaully looking for the vf-1s version of these kits..but either is fine.

I am also looking for these.

Heard Seichi_san was selling these but never got a response from him.

And this 1/144 full variable ..??

Also if anyone has the Kotobukiya's Jigabachi model , i need the tachikoma that came with it.

I got a really brittle one and it just fell apart/cracked...weird.. maybe it was the paint i used??? enamels???

Orguss if you can ship it overseas, I'm in. You can't buy the real deal here "down under" - I've seen genuine Future at model expos for $5.95/oz!! And everyone thought eBay was the home of price gouging!

If you can ship it, we'll become joint Future-barons of Australia...

Nice,you had the robo-chrono-watach thingy too(forgot real name)..i wore that Sh*t like a Rolex or a TAG H.

Thats cool the way you mixed up your figures..me and my littel bro used to do that too....

so when the Transformers and GI Joe finally got that comic book together it ws nothing new to us...

Thats funny you started this thread because I was just telling my girlfrined's son when we were kids instead of having a room each, my brother and I shared a room so we could have a "toy/play" room.

We had the the first Nintendo, Sega Master system, Atari 5200 & 2600, and a book shelf full of transformers and GiJoes.I had a special shelf for my things,Takara Redshoulder, Jetfire and the SDF-1...

Spoiled but i guess thats normal for us "latchkey "kids, parents feel guilty for having to work so much..everyweekend to BEST or ToyRUs... oh wait i forgot.... i got kick ass grades...

So I'm at my mom's house visiting recently and thumb through some old photo albums. I come across some pictures from Chirstmas 1984. I was 10 years and in 5th grade then; a true kid of the 80's!

(edited)

I lucked up and got Soundwave. I had friends who got Optimus Prime, Megatron, Jazz, Starscream, Thundercracker, Bluestreak, etc. Later that chilly, brisk and overcast afternoon we all met up at the neighborhood playground and were out in the dirt playing Transformers! I even brought my C.L.A.W. (that red wagon deal that Soundwave is sitting in) to get in on the action.

Man oh man, what it was to be a kid back then!

Let's see you guys old school pics!

OO

Cannot help but I did a Monster Mod using tubing from a hardware store(Ace)/art store(Pearl) they sell rods and tubes of differant metals alum, steel, copper.

Get a caliper, measure diameter of monster mount point,

buy rod, chop(they sell tube cutters too, you dont want to pinch the rod when cutting., you can use a sharp little saw though if you are care full, watch the edges of tubes after you cut they can be muy sharp...

I know it would be nice to find originals though ..good luck..

I have a Paasche H (extrnl mix) and it works great for spraying Future..

I also have a VL (internal mix) but don't use for that due to difficulty cleaning brush's internal parts and adjusting the needles/tips ...hassle ....

I do thin it out a bit with water or alcohol. Apply a thin cover coat, say 60/40 ratio , then come back like a few mins later to do a thicker more concentrate coat 75/25...this gives the future a chance to flow over the details of the object and provides a substrate for the thicker coat to adhere to.

Watch the pressures and shooting distances though... too high a psi. will push the setting Future around before it sets.Can dry in ripples....so don't get too close at high PSI.... .but i also heard if spray gun is too far from object to be sprayed and the spray mist if very fine the Future will dry in the air, resulting in fine dust looking pebbles in your paint job, which in some cases can be lightly brushed/rubbed off with ammonia based window cleaner and paper towel edge. pain in the *ss ..... and kinda scary......

This happened to me when i was working on my JM.

Spray was fine but distance was too far due to having too many parts in the spray booth and trying to pray parts in the back of booth......

Amonia based glass cleaner is best for clean up.

well, my big question is, is the Future in its original bottle airbrush ready???

I just found a cache of Original Future at my local neighborhood mom and pop market, they have old bottles but none of it is yellowed, the isle they are in never get sun......

Is it OK/legal to ship this stuff though.?? I can help anyone out who needs it if they cannot find it.. or maybe i should keep my find a secret...ahh MY PRECIOUSSSSsssssss....

Over at ARC, they're saying Johnson is going to stop making it in some places, notably the UK. Will likely become even harder to find than it already is. US production continues, though.

From those USPo doc looks like Gewalk isn't a final stage...transitory mode..so maybe the 1/55 like in the movie "found" the gerwlk mode going from plane to bat...or maybe they just forgot to put that in the text for the patent...

Nice, any more of those around Valk009??? Shoot me a pM so they can lock this up...

Is he in J nd you in US?

From J to US thats about right, pushing it, but resonable..IMo...

Aug 5th though huh? this seems like a postal issue, not seller.

If seller no longer had valk, as of the latest, Aug. 5th then he prob shipped???day before,

So he is no longer to blame for that sweet stirke's tardiness.

Was location of last update/check near your location? THIS is where postal insurance would pay off.(please tell me you are not in US)

Maybe customs has it.......you in Manila or US?

anybody here dealt with the ebay seller icechan?

bought a 1/60 v.2 strike vf-1s from aug 1st and i still havent got my valk yet. i have a tracking number but the last update was on aug 5th.

he replies so slow to my messages and im getting really pissed about this whole deal

is there anything that i can do to know where exactly my valk is? already went to the post office last week and they havent received my valk yet.

Thanx......... water on my fire....1/200 is that all we get??

..i thought i was heaven. 1/60 scale heaven...

From Yamato Mag...

Doood screw the Vf-1's for now(prepared to take evasive action.) Whats with that VF-9 Valk.....wtf??wow!!!anyone??is there a thread for this..look at that gerwalkmode...!!!

I tought it was the start of "THE GREAT CRASH OF '08"..good to see us back up...I kept getting "database error"??? not your typical 404....so i got real worried.

the off centered one is the second run you'll be getting. The original idea was to put it on the lower left of the shirt and have it bigger. But the printing place messed up and did it their way. Looks like the centered version is most popular. But it's all up to the designer.

Ahh so why the tease....

Printing place mess up should = free shirts..who's the designer???..Sol-ie likes this more??

So it's either defective nice and centered shirts we all got from Con or....

off centered shirt with big ass valk...

I smell Yamato in this...

third run!!!third run.!!third run!!!

This has prob been covered but China has Macross ejector seat..

Imout!!!!!....WEeeeee......!!! from..CHinese air power..

Some one is gonna get alot of pushups for this..from the galleries.

LOL.....some Gomer jumped up and pulled down on the nose...

that guy on the right in the cap"n"coat is about to chew some asssss.......

And we are getting which ones...centered like the ones sold at CON??

uh no. Im just showing the first versio to the second version. this is not multiple choice.

Whoa is that real???I likey looks very small, smaller than F-22...smaller than Yf-23????

One of those tools you find after completing tons of model that makes you want to go back and do them all again....
