Nevermind your modeling secrets - how the heck do you get to anything when you have kids!?? Let alone do so much so fast. You must get 3 hours of sleep a night... I M P R E S S E D

You mean Yamato 1/24th I think. I would be in for a 1/24th Type Zero and Helldiver. Speaking of 1/24th - Pit Road made their Command Car and figures a bit too large. The Yamato Ohta pilot figure of Unit 2 is half the size of the standing female officer with pistol...

It was not easy to get a hold of one of these Tamashii Web Exclusive Dragonar 2s - but I finally managed it. It was 'mint used' supposedly, but right away I noticed a problem with the waist ball joint. I was able to unscrew the main metal torso area and free the joint from its holder, and add double-sided tape and nail polish to it. After assembling this guy I can see why the waist joint suffered. H Mackerel -- there is a lot going on with this guy! HUGE jet packs and guns can really weigh a mech down. The quality on each part is incredible, but I ended up adding a dab of clear nail polish to every ball joint and piece you have to attach. Did this with my SPEC Layzner as well. The waist problem and adding gunk to every piece did take away from my assembling fun - but in the end he's quite a looker. Now I'm CERTAIN if I was facing giant monsters around the Pacific Rim I would be piloting one of these babies, those lizards wouldn't stand a chance, and the silly little knives it comes with might actually come in handy...

OK - thx for the info...

Can someone tell me what the 3 accessories are actually for in this Hasegawa kit? The 2 green items and the red cart thing?
-
Seems in very good condition. The auction said new, it looked like it, nothing was opened. I just tried the pull down ankle thing, and the push up. Nothing. I could not achieve that action. Tips?
-
Got Ohta in the cockpit. Like the detail in there and the moving levers. But when I push him up so his head is peaking out there is no click into place. The whole chair assembly keeps sliding back down. I want to put something under the chair to prop it up, but the lower door hinge needs that space when closing. And hate the neck pistons now. Any movement and the ends can fall into the drivers area, showing you they are non-working, floppy fakes. And the leather-like flaps there have a serious curl and will not fall nicely and cooperate. Articulated fingers too loose. Right ankle guard popped off again. Materials and sculpt are simply incredible though - don't want to sound too much like a negative nelly...
-
Were the ball joints on your ankles loose? Do you know if the feet can come off and nail polish or tape be added to stiffen them up?
-
HELP! You Yamato Ingram owners! Finally got my mitts on the scarce Unit 2 - stunned at the opening, so many good things to say. But I have to have my fears calmed about a few issues first but I can enjoy myself here. ANKLES? Too LOOSE! Why aren't they CLICKY or tight or better?!? Can these be tightened? Can I just pull the foot off? I'm pretty afraid of trying without checking around first. And the inner calves - why does it seem like they want to pop out like the outer parts? Mine are too loose, thus making the ankle guard shin guard thing almost come off. And while still on the ankles, I looked for a place to attach the pistons and there are none - right? These just dangle? I don't mind the neck ones dangling, but I do not like these ankles on this guy at all so far. It is a stunning piece - stunning, but I'm a little put off right now...

THAT is one of my top 5 movies of all time. I recommend it to people and that look at me very strangely... As for the Beast Build Up - I N C R E D I B L E ! Put a 1/60 VF-1 V2 in the next shot for scale !
-
Understood - sounds good...

For anyone who wanted a Megahouse Yellow but could not find one, this person seems to have several. You should be able to get one for around $60-$70. I've seen them go for as much as $130. http://www.ebay.com/itm/330862617728?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Yahoo Japan has a bunch for around 35,000 yen...
-
If you're doing resin kits, and you want to put a metal pin between the major pieces - what's good for that? It should be barely bendable correct? So you can drill the hole in each part, then put them together, bend it into exact position and super glue in place?
-
Hopefully M&M valks and TV Super Parts. Phalanx Kit or full Toy. VF Lighting Flashback Version...
-
Wonder if you could get away with 1/12 for the Fuke and could display it next to a 1/10 beagle. Since its the female issue armor maybe it was more petite!

VOTE AGAIN for SOC Dangaioh! A Studio Halfeye version finally came up on Yahoo Japan and it went for $1,000 - yikes ( ! ) -
Yep - that was my vote: SOC Dangaioh Although I do not have a SOC item, the Bandai SPEC line has impressed me immensely with its quality. A transforming super-hi quality Dangaioh with lots of metal would be sweet. Twice the size of the SPEC line. LeChuck said above Dragonar - 'non stylized'? LC - if you do not have have the new D1 and Falguen SPECs get those - they are INCREDIBLE! As for a few others mentioned -- Robot Spirits just came out with dandy looking Dunbine and Billbine - so that dream is answered. And RS had a L-Gaim Mark I to go with the Mark II. And Bandai SPEC also has a Mark I. As for Galient, this is my favorite collectable still, and it has some pretty fierce competition: http://www.ebay.com/...=item27cd7ea4e7 It is a 'dream mech' - it has been made, as well as a mech can ever be made I think. Here it is next to my Max factory Dragonar for scale...
-
If anyone is short on budget and wants to go in together, I just want the effects. We could split the cost and you keep the figure! Probably will not get any takers on that though...
-
Looks SWEET! But do inside the cannon barrels black. Maybe you did and the flash is blowing it out...
-
Is My Little Pony getting more responses these days than mecha stuff?? ARG Anyway - that massive samurai badguy mech featured in that Dragonar clip was proto-typed by Bandai. The Gilgazamune! Not sure I would have bought it, but maybe -- given the high quality of the SPEC line. What a strange design. But its looking almost certain Bandai will not ever make this guy now...

I have several valks and the only loose one in that area I have is my Skull-1 re-issue with option parts. Will watch to see what others say...

Yep - Trapped in subway episode... If anyone is looking for the original T-Rex saddle bags, they rarely surface: https://www.rinkya.com/new/en/auction-b143372753

Not sure, but if that's what is HAS to be than I'll take it. As I've said before, if they want to sell oodles all they have to do is mold a simple 2 part hanger chain-base to sell with the Spartan and Phalanx. Something that when put together gives you about a 12" deep by 36" wide area to display your Yamato goodies. Hopefully this will be announced at the next WF...

Somebody get this! She's wondering where her Beagle ride-armor is! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Robotech-New-Generation-Macross-Genesis-Climber-Mospeada-Rook-anime-cel-/181062974117?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a2831baa5
