  1. Those are real nice kits I got everyone of 'em. What I wished bandai would've done was make the transport vehicles for the Raiden/Shinden armors and have that Dougram inspired helicopter that transports the Ishtar mechs into battle. Those would be so awesome but I guess I'll settle with the 1/35 kits that are out there.

  2. Bud stickers do go on the missiles and BTW how many did you buy? I assume you only bought one cuz if you did you would've answered your own #4 question whether the super packs given to ya where of one side instead of a mirror opposite fast pack. One thing though that I had wished Yamato did for their strike cannon was to somehow use the same gimmick Club M did for their ultiamte valk. As for the gears getting pushed back to their bays while rollin' it, I'd say put some some sort of oil lubricant on the wheels to make it roll easier.

  3. Just curious to see how many are out there within our forums

    Well I guess to continue the tradition of the cannon fodder I'll put down all the designated numbers

  4. If you're a beginner a Badger airbrush will do nicely. You just have to get use to their double action trigger which is not as smooth as the Iwata's. The Iwata Eclipses are real nice and their the general all-purpose airbrush a real work horse. You could clean this airbrush in a snap when it inevitalbe clog gets in the way. If you become an expert, then the Iwata micron series is the cadillac of all airbrushes.

    Now for the compressor you can either get an air tank that you need to re-charge or a noisy Sears /Craftsman air compressor. Both has it's good & bad it all depends on your preference. If you want to haul a tank to get it refilled then by all means do so, it's cheaper but heavy and not so convenient. An air compressor cost more and noisy (that is, if you buy the cheap kind) but could give you an endless air flow if you install a moisture trap at the hose assembly which is very important. There are some air compressors with a built-in moisture trap and run very silent but expect to dish out high dollar for this item.

  5. I just scanned thru ebay to see how many 1/60th are being sold. From what I gather it would be very difficult to sell all of your 1/60 because alot of sellers are unloading their stock that is if you're contemplating on selling your collection. Their prices are what you would expect but if you want to really get rid of 'em, take your losses and sell it dirt cheap so you can at least compete with those sellers.

  6. Some of my 1/60th AMM-1 missiles have the ability detach form the missile rack maybe partly due to QC inconsistencies. The HCM and MPC have this ability as well.

    The MPC AMM-1 are NOT removeable. I managed to pop one off my "Ben" MPC" but the rest are glued tight. It is not a design feature. The same applies to the Yamato 1/60.

    Yes, I know because it's partly due to Quality Control inconsistencies regarding to 1/60ths (look at my original post) but as for the MPC I was able to get the missiles off the Miria's veritech.

  7. Hey Twin

    I see your having problems with the hatch not closing when the fastpacks are attached in fighter.

    armor16.jpg

    That hatch from the start when they issued the 1/48 vf-1s has been a lingering problem and I sure hope they fix it when they release the 1j and Hikaru's 1s.

  8. If I had to do it all over again, 1/48 would be my choice. It dissapponts me to see the 1/60th line suffering from all the QC and unexpected surprises like the new revealing preview of the VE-1's non-removable radar base attachment, meaning it cannot transform fully to non-armored fighter. :( (it's news to me and why did Yamato choose this route!) Although, the 1/60th line is affordable and it has some diecast content, (chalk 2 up for the 1/60) it suffers alot in detail like their 1/72 cousins and that's what I like mostly in a valk. What so special about the 1/48 scale is you can build around them with products available form all model kit companies. 1/72 is probably my next favorite scale because it too has a large popularity in the hobby market.

  9. $1200 for an acoustic, may I ask what brand.... Taylor, Takamine, Yamaha

    I've been meaning to buy me an acoustic, if it wasn't for these Macross toy releases I probably have more than one guitar.

    spent $1500 last month on ebay stuff 2 legioss, 1 dougram blockhead, 1 brown HCM & original 1/65 blazer (none of that bootleg kreezap!)
