Not sure if this should go here or the plastic model posts, since it's Mospeada and not Macross.. Will happily move if it's the wrong spot. So I'm doing this thing with a 1/15 aoshima Yellow ride armor kit. I got one of those Star wars non-scale Finn figures to be a donor body. Because it's body was roughly 1/15th even though it had a giant head. Doing some work with epoxy putty to create proper shoulders and upper leg armor. That whole squarish middle place between the arms is going to be hidden, so it's not especially pretty. Progress coming along..

Could KIND of go decently with 1/24 ort 1/25 model cars.
-
Someone call for me?
-
It's backward in the line art
-
I get mails from Amazon Japan about my order from time to time. I can use it as a way to mark the passing of time.. daughter starts high school.. daughter goes to college.. etc.
-
Good point. and whats worse is I have 2 of them and forgot!
-
I'm waiting for this too. It's also got a different head than the TV VF-1A (and i like the movie version better) Regarding that photo. I was just thinking the other day one really cool thing they Have not done in any VF-1 toy yet is to make the nosecone rock forward so you'd have the dynamic 'crotch thrust' hahah
-
Now that you mentioned it I am going to have to paint my beagle stick figure cuz he yellowed like crazy just the white plastic though. I took him apart took pictures of the whole disassembly and put the pieces in numbered bags I had forgot I'd have to paint that until this conversation
-
I airbrush a lot, but no way am i repainting a $200-250 toy
-
Repost of a screencap i posted in August:... No way the armor and Legioss are the same color.. at least in that scene of that episode (16)
-
If it's not Day-glo, highlighter pink, I'll be happy
-
The shoulders are tight. The wing still falls off. Everything feels a little tighter than my Blue Eta, I don't know if that's intentional or just cause the new ones only been transformed once.
-
On the bright side. I posed her to put in the cockpit and not a single limb fell off!!
-
SECOND! (People always post FIRST right?) here are the pics that answer the questions I cared about. You can have the antenna going backwards. She really is fluorescent pink
-
OMFG Out for delivery FedEx.. Could still get delayed til Monday (weather, bored driver), but I'm feeling like a kid on Christmas
-
I really hope so too, but it seems strange they'd do it 'wrong' in all the pics. If this wasn't a $250 toy I'd feel a lot better about lengthening the slot myself. As it is I probably wouldn't. Anyone else have to do work on their Sentinel Legioss Eta yet? 2 days ago I finally superglued (VERY CAREFULLY) the back flap of the wing on because it had fallen off. looks like when they glued it there was paint on the spot they glued, so that was bound to come off eventually. Gluing over paint is generally a no-go (I don't post them cause mostly Gundam but I do a lot of model kits) I was VERY nervous about gluing on it. These are just so pricy. Not complaining, it is what it is, but I don't want to ruin it.
-
I'm really hoping they did something between the prototypes and now so that the head 'antenna' can go backwards in Aircraft mode instead of forward. that looks weird, and doesnt match the lineart, IMHO.
-
Oh that Unicorn explains the highlighter pink figure. They retrofitted her with a psycho-frame!
-
And now we wait.
-
Legioss Zeta charged mid last night from HLJ, hit ship my warehouse this AM. FedEx. Hopefully somewhat fast. Can't wait to see it. Either mine or even other folks photos.
-
Thanks for clarifying I couldn't tell if it looked like a DX or not from the tiny picture. It just seemed really odd.
-
Anyone else see a picture yesterday of a DYRL strike Max 1S? I saw a link to it on a Facebook page that went to a twitter. It seemed like an odd choice, if it was real. I don't think there WAS a strike Max 1S. Wasn't the last we saw of him in the movie in a non-armored one s before he ended up getting unmicronized and getting his own queadlunn rau? Anyway my memory could be faulty.
-
I think I've seen it spelled Minmei and Minmay in official Macross product. Maybe they can spell each way on one side.
-
This may have been mentioned in previous comments, but it's just a dumb joke so who cares. Are we taking bets on whether they will tampo Hikaru's name on the cockpit of the VF-1D, igniting a massive continuity war as only Macrossworlders can?

Got my stickers from Anasazi37 today, in record time. They look good and were packed well between pieces of cardboard inside a flat mailer. I guess that got it sorted into the flat mail that USPS is actually delivering still with our bills. Glad it wasn't in a box I might not see it next Christmas Anyhow they look great. I have only put one on so far but man replacing that 100 with a 001 was just absolute Bliss! thanks!!!
