I don't really understand why people like metal plated model.. It looks strange and so toy like. IMO a regular one unpainted might look even better than the metal plated one unpainted.

Or am I missing something?

Seriously, if they ever finished the vf-0s, I believe that they will just run all kind of different color schemes and versions to make sure that they milked the mold dry before going to different type (SV-51, etc..).

However, I chose SV-51 DD Ivanov to be the next project if I have the power.

Please post pictures that show the full body, I want to see what color you picked for its feet.

Great work!

Sorry for newbie question, I'm building a macross model and found that I've bought glossy paint instead of flat paint. Can I use a flat clear coat to convert it into a flat surface? Any particular brand I should use or link please?

Thanks!

Well the stuff you use to melt the decal isn't to protect it, it's called MicroSol and it's to make the decal form to irregular shapes.  I use Future floor wax to seal in my decals and then a coat of Lacquer based dulcoat to flaten it out (since Future is real shiny)

1st step: MicroSol

2nd step: floor wax.

3rd step: dulcoat.

????

Where do you find MicroSol?

Can I use flat clear paint as the final dulcoat?

Do you guys just apply some clear flat paint on top of the decal? I remembered reading somewhere that there is something you can put on to melt the decal onto the model surface, but I can't find the thread anymore.

Thanks!

Yeah, there are always some people with boat loads of money, 6 hundred bucks is like 5 cents to them. However, that plush is very rare, if whoever didn't bid on it, they may never see it again if not ever.

I'm in half a mind to buycott Y*mato products from now on and remove all Y*mato reviews I've written from Macrossworld. If Y*mato want to be assh*oles, then so can I . This whole thing has left a very bitter taste in my mounth. Maybe one day soon, I should write the whole story on the forums, with lots of juicy pics. Sorry, for the OT rant, but this has been bugging me for quite a while now. Not quite at the stage where I'm going to burn all my Y*mato toys, but getting there.

I;m interest to the whole story, please tell us about it!

How is the quality? As it doesnt even have a picture of the actual item.

The TV arm armor actually looks better in robot mode compared to DYRL version. Just more sleek looking.

The sad part was that, they are not even in one order. I thought I got a good deal for shipping when they are sending my 2 orders together.

Totally back fire!!

it is also too late for me to refuse the package as it was left by my front door when I got back from work.

I'm going to try to talk to my cc company to see what I can do with them. From now on, I'll definitely stay away from them, that little discount really means nothing when they screw you back on shipping.

Thanks for everyone's supportive comments.

Sounds a little high to me too! But come to think about it the valk stand does weigh a fair bit.

The 10 CMS' will be around 0.5kg and add the stand 1-2kg will make the total to roughly 2-2.5kg after packaging.

The valk stand doesn't weight that much. It feels around the same as the CMS box set and HLJ lists 640g for the valk stand package.

Again, it was shipped by SAL not EMS and it was at least 2000 yen more than what I expected to pay.

stay away from 1999.com

Lesson learned..

I bought a Yamato valk stand and a box set of 10 CMS vol2 figures. They charged me 5000 yens for SAL shipping.

Does that make sense???

Hobby Link Japan charge only 1,080yen for SAL shipping for the valk stand only..

Adding to that, the box came in crushed, well the items were fine but the valk stand box is crushed badly.

Another problem is that I placed this order back in August and after waiting for so long, I sent them an email to cancel my order. No one reply me of course, and it is now shipped to me and the shipping cost is just nonsense.

Should I talk to my credit card company? Will they help?

As far as I understand, they are made for KIDs for costume play. not for adult and real use.

Does anybody know if the PS2 Macross DYRL game recognize a USB flight stick?

Anyone interest in this game?

I think they look alright too, you're probably expecting too much

They are just soft plastic figures not resin statue..

I wouldn't recommend this series if people are watching just the Tokyopop version. There are huge reaction everywhere that ID fan were very angry.

I agree with Commander McBride that only idiots would buy tokyopop version after being warned in the first place.

Peace!

Cool, thanks for the info!!

FOr the people owns all 3 VF-1J 1/48 (Max, Millia, Hikaru). Are the "arm" armor molded in same color of grey?

Your VF-11B's hip joint problem was caused by yamato's bad design, not because of where you got it from.

There are ton of threads addressing this problem a long time ago.

I do, I'm at woodbury

What is GU-11?

Sorry for my ignorant.

Yeah, the pieces in front of the intake does look like swing bars.

That looks like a GM..
