LOL.  I did realize that about Max, but I've never experienced a Bandai HMR before so wanted to get one to see what it was like.  Plus, it was half the price of the Arcadia reissue 1/60.

But I think getting the 1/60 VF-1J Max and a 1/60 YF-21 will complete my immediate collection... for now.

Good luck with the YF-21, the only 1/60 of it is old Yamato, and costs around $350 (or more) right now.

I have received a response from Eaglemoss.  "I have requested a reship for this item."  I don't think they realize I pointed out another member here had the exact same problem and even the demo version from their own website is off and there could be something at the factory that's the issue...

So my order from CDJapan arrived over the weekend.

Only got the two Macross F CDs due to the songs from Uta, but yeah I'm going to start collecting the blu-rays since they have english sub-titles.

Also no, the image on the magus bride cd is not a mis-print. Have a feeling the image on season two will match with this one.

Some non-Macross while I wait for Sheryl, HMR Elint, and Missile Regults

Good choice with the Kahatriya! Bandai did a really good job with it, makes up for the HG model kit. Look forward to getting the Awakened Unicorn with the shield funnels in a couple of months.

Nice pick up! I have been tempted by some the NxEdge figures but I don't think I need to start collecting another line. :D

oh this was an original concept! looks great!

Yeah, it appeared in profile on the ready room plaque but was deemed too difficult to create in short time so the other C was made to meet production times instead.  But this was originally what the C was supposed to look like.

I'm excited about the Eaglemoss XL starship line.  I just recently started a subscription for it.  The XL Voyager evidently arrived Saturday but I haven't gotten it from the mail box yet, lol.

Let us know what you think of it.  I was thinking of getting the XL.

I ended up spending more on paint for the HG than I did for the kit itself.

I ordered it from BigBadToyStore.  It's In Stock right now.

https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/61696

Plus that's the only place I know of to pre-order the Phase 2 Enterprise and the Star Trek Beyond version.  The Eaglemoss store doesn't have either of them available to purchase.

Just pre-ordered the Titan and Abramsverse Enterprise from BBTS. Considering getting the Avantine from Eaglemoss since BBTS didn’t have it.

Opened up the XL Voyager last night.  It's beautiful, a great size, and was well built.  The paint apps on the windows and some detail lines, however, were really messy in some spots.  I'm not sure if that justifies asking Eaglemoss for a replacement or not.  Opinions?

Wow that is a bit messy. I guess it depends on how much the ship cost and if it’s going to bother you.

I prob wouldn’t be thrilled with it unless it was relatively cheap and I had the time/energy to fix the paint apps.

It was $60 on the subscription, otherwise $75.  It definitely bothered me when I noticed it lol.

Honestly, it might not be noticeable from across a room, but at that distance it looks like a sack of crap.  I'd say you should definitely go looking for a replacement, but given the history of the line, it's a crapshoot whether you get one that's any better.  You might want to do some research and see if the problem is common across that release.

 Personally, given that the markings are all supposed to line up with molded hull details, I'd just see if you can safely remove the markings and fix them yourself with something like a fine-tipped marker.  Fortunately it looks like only the black was misprinted.

That is a great paint scheme and excellent job on the gold trim. It looks very clean on the binders, chest, and selves. I have always had a problem with small bits of dust or hairs getting stuck on white paint. Always end up with one tiny black speck on a white panel. What paints did you use?

Everything was over white primer with Tamiya Color spray cans except for the gold which was hand brushed with Testor's enamel, then clear coat with flat coat on the suit and semi-gloss binders. It was my first big experiment with using spray cans and I'm going to give airbrushing a shot this year.

I think you're justified.  Every single one is way off.  It's not like it's just the corner of one or two kinda slipping out at an edge.  They're just off.

Seeing the messed up on paint scheme on ZorClone's XL Voyager makes me wonder if it's just his copy only or is also noted on others that have the XL Voyager as well (I haven't done a further investigation on it yet)? Still want to get the DS9 Defiant, however I will have to see if Eaglemoss can improve on the finer details on the XL lineup..
