Evil

I Just got my kit today

Many thanks to Yui1107.

The store i went to here had 3 more on the shelf besides the one i purchased.

but i have not seen the kit at any of the LHS's.

a very nice kit from the looks of it.

will try it after i get a few Macross kits under my belt.

Evil

does anyone have good DYRL cockpit pics??

thanks evil

That is something i would Love to have in my model room.

was going to put that on my Christmas list but at $1,000

I think my wife would kill me.

That is very cool though.

Wonder what CHP had to say about the large firearm??

EVIL

I am trying to figure out if these drawings are correct.

I would like to upgrade my models cockpits.

I have the Hasagewa PE kit but after looking they seem lacking.

Where there HUDS on Valks?

Are te flight controls correct? i have never seen a model with the center control.

is the throttle on the left , fighter control center, what is on the left.

thanks Evil

Now that looks like a Hobby Shop to me, Wish we some like that here!!! Everytime I go to a Hobby shop whether here in KS, MO or when I lived in Los Angeles, they are always dark, dank, under stocked and no variety.....Rude as hell service too!!!

I'll bet these shops have every type of Anime model, Car, bike & aircraft kit you could want with service & a smile to match!!!

To just walk in and by a brand new Macross Kit, that would make my day!!!

The shops here in Okinawa are quite nice. Some of the shops here are small & a lil dark. But i have yet to walk into any of these shops and find them under stocked. I personally do not speak Japanese, but all the shop owners have made me feel very welcome.

Gundam is the mainstay of every shop i have been in. but there are always a few Macross kits and tons of Anima, Military& vehicle kits.

I do wish some of the shops back stateside where as well stocked (variety of kits) and as friendly as the owners are here in Oki.

Laters, Evil

Yui1107,

Found the secret box,

great shop tons of figures. I could go broke there.

Thanks for the directions to all these great shops.

Evil

have you thought of using a simple sand cast to make your mold & cast the part.

you can also buy metal casting kits via the net.

Laters & good luck, EVIL

I am wondering if any body has a detailed resign pilot or a standing pilot?

Am still trying to get the hasagewa armor/pilot kit from my LHS.

Thanks, Evil

hey 007-vf1,

"I saw your website and the tutorial at making the paints in PC adobe."

I have a website...WOW!!

i did not relize this. I have been away from the modeling scene for more than ten years

and i do not do websites on my own. Could you please send me the link?

I finially got into gaming miniatures a quite a few yrs ago. I travel so often that this hobby is often the one

I do. But being on a long term assignment in Japan, I found the LHS and Macross Models, and i am trying to

get equipment that is local ( i like instant gratification ). I always try to support the LHS where ever i travel.

It seems that a lot of local Hobby shops back home are going out of business from lack of support.

Thanks for All the comments. Evil

I agree i can get anything i want off the net.

I am really interested though of the opinions of ppl and of there equipment.

Also i am the type of person whom likes instant gratification.

If i can purchase something locally then i will before useing the net.

thanks for the Help.

Evil

sorry for another thread....

I have been able to find at LHS these airbrushes, and would like to get opinions on them.

These AB are double action. I am looking at the ADVANCED & Jr versions.

These are SA. was looking at the spraywork hg & spraywork hg superfine.

the LHS also has an airbrush set 180D

any opinions would be appreciated.

thanks Evil

title just about says it all.

i am building my first macross model & would like to do a great job.

there are a ton of great models on this site and the help would be appreciated.

thanks Evil

Thanks for the new map...

it was easy to find & just down the road from me

Thanks for giving me directions to all the good shops in the area.

Evil

having problems finding "Variety hobby TIME".

is there a better map??

thanks, Evil

Yui1107,

thanks for all the good information. I will have to go down to the DIY.

i have been to the Yon-ku-dou shop, it is right down the mountain (hill) from me.

The Shima shop is awesome. He has a ton of models & is very helpfull. There is a bonus also, he is on my way to work.

I do not know where the other shop is located i cannot read japanese

you may be able to give me directions though. i live near 330 & the awase golf course between Foster & Kadena.

thanks again Yui

Evil

I am used to useing a Pache "H" single action airbrush.

The problem is that my airbrush is 3,000 miles away and in storage.

Since i am in Japan & Hasegawa airbrushes are available, is there a comparable airbrush to the pache??

I hope that someone has experience with the haseagawa brand and can tell me if it is as good, if not better, than the pache.

Thanks Evil

I don't know about the US but I am currently in Okinawa, Japan and this was the first time i had ever seen them.
