  1. BigKid24,

    Go to the models section. There you will find the VF-1D "Virgin Road" Colors and Build-Up Sheets.

    No one has submitted any of the build up sheets or built models yet. :(

    Actually, I do have some completed kits...I just haven't posted them yet. My bad...sorry. WMCheng and Grayson also offered their build ups, I am just waiting on Shawn to retrieve them for me from the old forums.

  2. BigKid24,

    SWEET! GO NEW MODELS SECTION!!!!! Saving the day!!!!:)

    Man...I need to get some time and do the next update...thanks to everyone for all the new content...Ive got some finished kit pics to post as well as another goup of Hase models to post. I should have some time Sunday.

    Cheers!

  3. Seems like that the orange or red issue is more a filming effect thing than a real thing if the stripes on that model is not something unique. In the DVD the stripes looks definitely orange-red.

    I would tend to agree....but I know how important it can be for the ship to be "like you remember it" ;)

  4. No super secret...I did...through some AWESOME fluke get #1!!!! (just of Scotts though....and only listed as #1 on the Alpha and the book box...the outside white box has number 467 I think. I'm guessing that means some executive or bigwig has a nice sealed white box that says #1 that has number 467 inside!!! :o

    :D

  5. One thing that the Joyride Viper got wrong is the center windscreen of the canopy. As shown in this pic, it should taper downwards to get narrower at the bottom, but on the Joyride toy, the center windscreen has nearly no taper. The Konami Viper's canopy is much more accurate in this regard.

    Also, the Konami viper has the red strip on the bottom of the Viper that is missing from the Joyride version.

    One thing in Joyrides defense...if they did use the old model kit as a base...its major wrong! Still there are also major innaccuracies between the 1:1 studio set pieces and the filming models....for instance...notice their is a raised section on the nose of the 1:1 model (above) that tapers in like two arrows expaning out...now notice the actual filming model doesn't have that at all. There are lots of little problems like that which forced kit makers to decide if the 1:1 or 1:24 model was cannon.

    This cockpit mockup is the one with the raised dual triangle nose piece:

    This is a filming model...without it (and notice how red the stripes look! )

  6. Welcome Chas.

    LTSO - I agree 100%

    In general, scratchbuilt and custom recast = good (this would include add on kits, extra details, etc)

    Straight casting = bad.

    All that said, model builders often cast something they need when building a model for their own use. I think Chas is offering to supply an extra part or two for someone who has lost a piece, or doesn't know how to cast. Thats a nice offer. Lets not upset Hasegawa recasting their work for sale (not that it would be economically feasible) but I don't imagine they would have a problem with someone enhancing their kits with detail pieces or someone helping a customer stay happy by helping replace a lost piece.

  7. Just finished my F6F-hellcat
