Bandai's Dirty Pair )

Well, maybe It was planning as soviet produced serial EVA, not so glamourus, rusty, dirty, and with Longinus Shovel in hands Andijan is placed in Uzbekistan, it's something like "Far-far away kingdom", like New Zealand for american, for example. I don't know about traditions in others armys, but russian solders like, when they are demobee from army, in their last days of serving (it's old tradition) - make something funny, maybe stupid, to be remembered in memory of next soldiers. Usually they left there names (or nicks of friend's brigade) on old tanks, walls, cars, on weapons. It's normal to go into army warehouse in the cover of night to steal something made from brass, or colored plastic, maybe trafficator from BMP. There a lot of superfluous quantity of them, and it's just a funny adventure. From them soldiers make souvenirs, gift for friens, or any parade elements on uniform. So the text about "I was demobilize in 1988, city Andijaan" is something special for any russian soldier. Crazy Ivans, yeah

My last work - joke model of EVA-01 as soviet Stroibat Warmech. It's a repainted Bandai's gashapon, with some scratchbuilded additions. Shoulder text means "Discharge-88, from city Andijan" - soldier pilot's joke.

I post more pics in my livejournal - http://tancist.livejournal.com/308643.html, text on russian, but it's just explanation about Macross_7 for unknowing.

I've got all pack of Bandai's 1/144 kits from Macross_7, and today I finish 2 of them: Bandai 1/144 VF-19 Kai "Fire Bomber Custom". and Bandai 1/144 VF-17 Stealth Valkyrie. I'll post another models, when I finish them in nearest future.

ZOMG TEH REI! WOW. What a crazy good work, and Revoltech mecha musume Super Rei is magnificient too

No any news about central_anime subs? They are abandoned on 32-nd episode?

Repost 'em to Photobuket, should work.

Actually, it was just a "Super VF-1J" - old Arii-Imai kit in Bandai's rebox, was bought on HLJ's Christmas sale for 7$. I decided to make it in Gerwalk form, and with removable hands (no any word in instruction about gerwalk form, or hand parts, only "build the plane"). Max Genius plane. painted by Tamiya colors (first try of them, very good) unsted of my usual DuPont enamels. Nose was rebuilded cause of it's original crude proportions. As final - snap placed on Hasegawa "Macross Stand". Hope, you will like it. Now they can play together If someone interesting, moar photos of processing can be found in my livejournal.

Tommorow I'll finally try to paint this ship

Macross Hasshin! A couple of new fotos. 1. Sanding of main cannon and it's shoulders - finally finished. 2. Macross gets his guns! Silver - only like "cheap version" of mr. Surfacer, helps to find unpolished places 3. It looks like Macross and ready for paint!

Just joking with nichimo's 1\200 VF-1.

Very nice build )

All 3 subs in 1 pack - http://rapidshare.com/files/225866027/Macross_7_Encore.rar Enjoy!

My latest processing fotos: Fokker's VF-1S, Bandai 1/72. Max's VF-1J Super, Bandai's repack of old Imai kit. I failed paint of legs, so it looks really crappy now, will re-painted tomorrow.

Are you still need them? I've got subs for all "Macross 7 Encore" movies, but haven't got for Macross 7 Dynamite, only old hardsubbed version. I can share this subs, if you need.

Oh Shiii~ baby I really want that kit! Does Luca's Ghosts have any visual differences between evil red one Ghost from Macross Plus, or a Battle Galaxy defenders Ghosts fleet? And can I build an Alto plane (maybe, using an epoxy putty and some sandwork) from Luca's? It has head only for this type? I really want these pretty 3 Ghosts (even only one, just for collection) and VF-25 (in one box, about 65$ for all of this ), but another one VF-25 except Luca's - I dislike his character and don't wanna his stupid green AWAKS plane. Or maybe I should better search anyone selling his Ghosts from this kit on ebay or somewhere else?

Got one of it on workbench, Fokker's VF-1S. Currently now I am building Arii's Super Gerwalk kit, blue Max's fighter, but after it I'll do this pretty transforming kit. I don't show yet my Macross models to other modellers except my closest friends from Livejournal. I'd like to start showing it from classical Roy's Jolly Roger plane, cause Robotech was shown in Russia in early 1990-s on TV, and except anime-fans, everybody make a puzzled face trying to remember WTF is that "Macuros". But, when I show them kit with Fokker's plane - everyone smiling, while returning to their happy childhood where Rik Hunter with Roy were flying together from TV I opened this kit firstly from my HLJ's box, and was surprised it's policarps joints, in usual time I built experimental WWII planes from very crude kits like vacuum-formed plates. And - all this tranformings, moving parts... I can't believe that this kit was produced in 1980-s. Like I missed the last train and don't know how to reach proper destination. I think, on next HLJ's sale I'll buy another one of this kit, maybe even two.

Bandai's Valkyries. 1/72, white one fully transforming kit, blue one - gerwalk kit. Gerwalk's nose reversed to proper position, as you can see

Emmmm, it's all airbrushed except black stripes on legs, and I used Vallejio acrylic varnish, but it's first time I use it, and somewhere it's too much varnish looked like brush marks

Miria's device, from TV series. About 12$ from HLJ.com Have some problems with it's hips, cause there no policarps joints, and direct plastic frictions make it rather unstable. But it's a good kit, about 20 cm height warmachine with sexy pilot Gangsta! Processing Ready for painting! Next will be Bandai's SDF-1 1/8000 kit, come soon as possible!

L'll try post some new photos of processing tomorrow. I have a lot of models to build from my HLJ's shipping - http://pics.livejournal.com/tancist/pic/00078r6t , and with SDF-1 I currently work on Quaedluun and Max's Gerwalk kits.

This is my Bandai's Brutishdog in 1/20, just finished this one Was fully repainted from sprues.

It' all the magic power of rasp file ) Yep, biceps little longer then they should be, but I just try to save their maneuver ability. And there is 3-4 different schemes of SDF-1, vary in dimensions of Daedalus and Prometheus. So, it's seems not a big trouble. The main problem now is width of main cannon, so I forced to use a lot of plastic to make it wider. I have try to finish this model before 22 february, but don't have enough time. So next photos will be with primered model, and then I will think about it's stand.

Can anyone photo his bandai's 1/144 in comparsion, for example, with lighter? How big is it?
