Strange. I just ordered a Macross the ride visual book via Amazon Japan no problem with my US account. Shipped super fast too. Also got to place this preorder.
-
This is as far as I dare go. It's missing a thruster as I broke it while pulling it out. Didn't need it anyway. Locations for where I think are Cover plates for the screws on the other side. Cover plates (guessing):
-
This is only my guess but there are 3 screws that need to be taken out. The front half of the booster has two cover plates that can come off exposing one screw. The front tip can be removed by carefully using a exacto knife to help pry it out. The next two screws are guesstimates as I couldn't get to them as they are hidden behind two cover plates and might be glued. I'm basing my guess while prying the front a little I could see spots where two screws should be to connect both halves of the booster. They are both on the inner facing side of the boosters. One is on the bottom rear most trapezoid with the two white stripes you can tell because it is the only one that looks like it has a gap. The other one is a small trapeziod shape as it is the only one there. Hope this helps or if anyone figures out how to get to those two out please show us. Or if you're talking about the smaller thrusters, you can use a needle nose plier and slowly pull them out and avoid all the headache of getting the boosters apart.

This is a pretty cool project you got going on here. You should put this in the workshop section too.

Count me in for one.

That looks like the prototype on display at a store (Volks Hobby Heaven 5th floor?) not the final colored ones shown at Wonderfest. Here is the same one:
-
Does this actually provide materials and instruct you in the assembly or does it just goes into detail of a 1/2400 papercraft model that they built instead?

NIce and clean with those stands!

That was my big white boom stick. Here is my crayola paint brush special! lol... -
Those are screw hole area minus covers. Wouldn't make any sense to have a triangle that hides the rear knee joint in fighter but have three big holes on each leg for all to see. I hope they can release the armor set in the near future.
-
Ooh nice! Thank you!

Arcadia trying to misdirect us with these displays . First the little winglet near the intakes, now the triangle cover. The VF-0S batt has them but the VF-0A batt doesn't. Hmm... edit: I guess don't look at my valks thoroughly enough. It completely covers that area.
-
Hmm. 1200 yen shipping. Heck, why not? Ordered! Thanks for the link!

Argh! I want a Paladin so badly! Hasegawa/ Bandai/ Big West be best buds so that we can get this set instead of resorting to this!: -
From the album: Yetistand
Desperate to get a Paladin! -

I can't see anything in the first pic . All I see is cleavage and two beautiful purple eyes staring into my soul. Nice pics Saburo! -
Wow that's a steal for the parts.Are you gonna make the lance available at a printing service like Shapeways? For now I can only dream:
-
It's either backwards compatable or there's an Arcadia version ghost in the future. If not, what reason would they have to display it with those slotted tanks anyways since they only came in the ghost bundles or standalone sets? Anyhow more pics via B_A_T on flickr:
-
I like the release spread out plan. Maybe one after Summer Wonder Fest and one in November.
-
Wow. 2 purchases per year, that blows.. Btw, what happened to Bry? Looked like he was almost finished then disappeared. It's a 1/60 Monster conspiracy I tell ya!
-
If those specific parts fit the renewals then I'd try as they are cheap.

Beautiful work! -
For the Paladin. Besides the head, lance, and decals what are the parts list? From what I can tell you'll need: Super Parts: Boosters Shield* Top thruster Rear leg set Hip armor* Crouch plate Armor Parts: Chest piece Arm guards One knee piece off left leg armor Hip armor* * Hard to tell but I'll use the one that's easier to get So wanna do this but can only dress up the regular YF-25. Are the missiles from the chest used at all? Just curious as I didn't look at the series.
-
Aw snap, just when I thought I got what I needed these come out!
-
Nice! I saw 2 on YJ. One was the full packaged set and the other one the seller split into 2 seperate auctions with the 1/72 VF-1X++ .in the pic for the 1/60 version. Go figure. Props to whoever got those.
