Kyp Durron Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I know, right? As far as I'm concerned, this is the new reigning king of the Yamato toys. At least with this one, there's ZERO worries with sculpt accuracy since they literally took the CGI files and had the 2199 Director overseeing the production of this piece.

Kyp Durron Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) Buy this now or go to Hell :Did I mention it goes great with the GX-64?You can still get it here : http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?scode=FIGURE-003225 *EDIT* WOW, sold out already, not a surprise, this thing is a REAL GEM.6.5 inches long, and the paint and panel lining apps are FLAWLESS. Everything is painted, all gun sensors, spotlights, bridge windows, and observation windows, yes, even the bubble window in the back of the bridge tower. Megahouse knocked this motherf*cker out of the park. Get this thing anyway you can. I have a feeling there will be more ships in this series.Forgot to mention, there are thin panels at the waterline on each side that you can remove and put the supplied atmosphere wings in, freaking brilliant at this scale.

Dobber Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Damn it Kyp, you're killing me! Lol! Love the GX and I have also started work on the new 1/500 model. I wanted to slightly modify it so the seagull hangar and Zero hangar are a little more realistic....but I think that would be a little out of my ability level. May just build it "as is" out of the box. I'll have to study the model more to decide. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiz13688 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) I see a lot of people buying and building the Bandai 2199 kits.

Wiz13688 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 The only thing that I hate about the GX-64 is that after going through all the trouble of setting up all the wonderful effect lighting on this model only to have left out the observation deck on the side. Some brave soul needs to open one up and see if we can wire a couple LED into that area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an absolutely beautiful little model, I just preordered another one at BBTS, it's going to cost me $50 vs the $35 I paid for this thing shipped, but it's worth it, and I'd rather buy another one of these at that price than buy that tiny little 4.5 inch DYRL SDF-1 @ $75 BUCKS (Shipping NOT included) that those apparent ganja smokers at Arcadia are trying to push onto us.

Kyp Durron Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I really hope I'm right about Megahouse doing a series of these ships, hopefully they can keep them in scale. If they do, I know what I'll be collecting from here on out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just finished the anime and have the Bandai 1/1000 Yamato and 1/72 Cosmo Zero 2 in shipping from HLJ. They should be here before the weekend and I'm planning on starting on one of them this weekend. Any thing to be weary of for either kit?

Dobber Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I ordered a MH Yamato from HLJ too. Now if the damn Tarangus SAAB Viggen would be released I can have the lil Yamato, display case that William pointed out, and the Viggen all shipped. Just waiting on that damn Viggen model to be released....it's months late. Electric Indigo, is that the MH Yamato with the Domelus III!? So perfect!

They should be here before the weekend and I'm planning on starting on one of them this weekend. Any thing to be weary of for either kit?So far, I've built 2 Cosmo Zero's, the Earth Fleet set 1, and Yamato. I am about 85% finished with the Garmila Fleet set 1 (Destoria heavy cruiser and Kelkapia High speed Cruiser) and about 50% finished with the Garmilla Battle Carrier. No Issues yet, but a Yamato section would be cool.Then I have just about all the other kits still to build...2 Cosmo Zero Alpha 2 kits (one to build as Yamamoto's and one to build as an "Aniversary" version painted like a WWII Japanese Zero to go with my 2 Harlock Space Wolf fighters that I built up in WWII Fokker Wolfe livery) both the Cosmo Falcon kits, the Polmeria Carrier, and the Garmilla fleet set 2 (Gaiderol class battleship and Kripitera class destroyers). Plan on getting one of the Quad-deck carriers and the Haizeraad class Battleship as well. Man, I got a lot of building to do! Here are my Zero's and SW-190's for those that haven't seen them. I like to think of the SW-190's as first generation space fighters with the Cosmo Falcon's in the second generation and the Cosmo Zero's as third generation space fighters.

Megahouse knocked this motherf*cker out of the park. Get this thing anyway you can. I have a feeling there will be more ships in this series. IIRC, Yamato 2199 is 333m, so 6.5 inches is ~1:2000. the lucky ones who have the HDP SDF-1 can have it displayed alongside... or replace one of the ARMDs it looks really nice and much more practical for fleet displays, but i already have too much invested in the 1:1000 line so i guess i'll be sticking with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Focker Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 yes, they're painted. very well, i might add. the bare kits do not have a metallic sheen. Actually, think they missed the boat on not lighting up the beautiful hanger bay when the door is open! indeed, blinking hazard lights would've been great. looking forward to your mod =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiz13688 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) I gave up a Cosmo Zero to teach my friend's 12 years old son how to build models. We did the cut, sand and assembly together. then I did the panel lines and decals for him. Kit is not painted only a clear coat before the panel line and a flat coat afterward.

Wiz13688 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) Ok. I'm going to start a thread in the model section of the forum. I'll start by copying my Cosmo Zero build over there and my WIP on a Cosmo Falcon that I'm working on now (this one will be a fully painted kit), Feel free to jump in and add your own WIP or finished pictures. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=40677 Well. That did not work as I was told that model section is only for Macross models. Guess we'll just have to continue posting our WIP and finished kits here.

antibiotictab Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) thanks man! that Gatlantis disco routine was hilarious and those Pocky sticks are truly gigantic! I have watched almost every episode from the last April. How about live watching? The cast can be watchable from outside of Japan. One day, some English comments were being posted on Niconico. I answered to the viewer in English. I left some comments in switching both in English and Japanese at the time. He was in LA. He is a big fan of Starblazers/ Yamato. Finally he came to Japan to watch the last chapter of 2199 in August and September. We met in Shinjuku and had dinner. He is Tim Eldred. The picture you posted came from Ourstarblazers.com, right? The webmaster of the site. That's the reason why some pictures there were offered by Antibiotictab (sic).

Major Focker Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) yup, pics were from that site. in one of his later Yamato update reports, he also mentioned this: Star Blazers 2199 was also the first topic to come up on the Nico Nico simulcast that accompanied Episode 14. The YamatoGirls held up a sign commemorating Star Blazers 2199‘s journey overseas, and to forgive any annoyance over incoming comments from foreign countries. (Gee, thanks a lot, Japan.) i can imagine he was one of those who commented in english fortunately, folks like Tim and you continue to provide a great service to the english speaking community. many thanks. would love to catch a livecast someday, but lately my schedule hardly allows it. was in Tokyo last November and stayed in Shinjuku. will drop you a pm next time. planning to catch the sakura season, if not this March, then next year for sure.
