  1. If I come across another Atlas I will let you know. I'm wondering what it would take / cost to have the cockpit drilled out and custom clear canopy made for it. The Hasagawa 1/48 flight crew pilots might look great inside. I splurged and got this pair of resin kits that were featured on the Patlabor 3D book cover. Also got this 2 handed Ingram firing kit and the OVA style Command Truck...
  2. Too clarify - that one pictured is a 1/60, so that would be easier to pull off than a 1/24. But I'm sure somewhere in the world someone is working on it right now...
  3. He had them already - I just asked for them...
  4. Here is a fully scratch-built Ingram carrier. A 1/24 version sounds ridiculous - but so are 1/72 Monsters and 1/48th Glaugs...
  5. Its mine - off being finished, along with a few other projects. I will not be revealing his name as I have him booked through next year (and don't really want him getting any other requests for the time being). I can do kits - and do some work - but not airbrushing, and not on this scale. I know when to call in the experts...
  6. That TV version Galient is going to be a model kit I believe - not a finished Wham release. This is the only WAVE finished figure from the series. Its from the Galient OVA Crest of Iron - the designs are quite different in the OVA, and some of the best, most unique mecha designs ever IMO. Much better than the Galient TV designs. Just keep a watch out on Yahoo Japan auctions, they will come up again. More display pics of valks - to get some Macross back in here:
  7. I agonized at that time too, and it was hard to pull the trigger and get one from HLJ. Glad I did though. Was agonizing to send it away for the actual build too. Kind of like finding a grilled cheese with the image of Mary in the grill marks - and then eating it. Good, but stressful to take that plunge. Another in-progress pic....
  8. Here's a few more pics: If you watch Yahoo Auctions he can be had used for about 25,000 to 35,000. Here is one at 20,000 with 4 hours to go: https://www.rinkya.com/en/auction-u55004706
  9. My heart (and wallet) jumped when when I saw that Bloodsucker photo - I thought it was going to be a new 1/8 model. Thankfully its not - I do not want to add anything to my want list. I just want 1 1/8 Turbo Custom, Chirico and Vanilla figures. Fyana and Cocanna would be OK but not a must. Jenius - We're not modelers - YET. But these would be fun to look forward to when we are someday. I will watch to see if more 1/8 stuff pops up on Yahoo Auctions if they are re-releasing some items...
  10. I'm ready for my 1/60!
  11. I've had a keen interest in getting some 1/8 stuff for a while.

  13. Not sure if this pic has been posted before. . .
  14. Commission build nearly complete . . .
  15. Here is the WAVE bad boy up at a discount (so far) because of some scuffs - https://www.rinkya.com/en/auction-v303933022 ( better than the $500 to $800 it usually goes for ) He weighs a ton - perfect fit and finish, and still the favorite piece in my collection... Here are some recent pics I took:
  16. Since I have Patlabor Revys, WAVEs and Yamato as variable, posable figures -- I viewed the possibility of having MG kits as only having more of what I already have. Although the MGs do seem cheap enough I could pick them up anyway. But I recently picked up a few very old, fixed pose 1/48 Kaiyodo resin kits. The pieces are a rough, with pits and poor detail - so they should keep me busy later when I want something to really sink my teeth into. Kaiyodo used the same box for every kit and just added a small sticker in the lower right to differentiate them. I picked up 5 kits - one is the AL-97 Ground Defense Atlas. Really wish WAVE would have done this guy after its Helldiver. No clear canopy or anything with the kit - that would be a serious custom that might be fun to try to pull off... Here are some pics and screen shots ---
  17. OK - they can skip the announcement and just shock me with a Phalanx done, ready to order...
  18. That price is fine for the M&Ms. I'm ready to pre-order. But these 1S releases are soooooo boring. Suppose we have to go through the white 1J yet too. Shock us with a Phalanx release announcement, shake things up Arcadia...
  19. A Hanken Cel available for only 200,000 yen - Too rich for me but its nice to grab the jpeg at least... https://www.rinkya.com/en/auction-w89705900
  20. Y A W N - Bring on the M&M releases . . .
  21. Thanks SkullM - Great shots! I might do another run next year . . .
