Skull Leader Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 I may have shown this before.... I actually bought this kit way back in the day from Valkyrie. I actually bought two from him but I haven't built the other yet. This little guy is unscaled, but it's very close to the old imai 1/170 battroids, so it's probably a similar scale.. maybe 3 inches tall. It's a fixed-pose resin statue. You've got some latitude about the angle of rotation in the shoulders before you glue them down, but that's it. You can build the kit either as a VF-1A or a 1S (my second one will be a hikaru strike, if I ever get around to it) It's not super detailed but it turns out a nice desk statue. I brush painted this years before I learned how to airbrush.
Valkyrie Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 From me? I don't even remember owning those! And that's certainly better than I could ever do with a brush!
Skull Leader Posted November 15, 2014 Author Posted November 15, 2014 I believe you got them from someone else when they were recasting some stuff, I don't recall the exact circumstances, but I DID get them from you... sometime around 2002-2003
Skull Leader Posted November 15, 2014 Author Posted November 15, 2014 Found my initial review of it.... and I mention getting them from Valkyrie then too http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=7801#entry141893
Valkyrie Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 I believe you got them from someone else when they were recasting some stuff, I don't recall the exact circumstances, but I DID get them from you... sometime around 2002-2003 Oh, I don't doubt it, I just don't remember it. But when you've bought and sold as many models as I have, these things happen
Skull Leader Posted November 16, 2014 Author Posted November 16, 2014 It's a shame you don't remember who you got them from... I'd love to get a few more!
EXO Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 You should look into Mechtechs 1/350 kits. They're a bit bigger but the detail is incredible.
Skull Leader Posted November 20, 2014 Author Posted November 20, 2014 Never heard of them... got a link?
EXO Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=41133#entry1122691 http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=41130#entry1122497 I have the GBP... still waiting for my Monster and Regult.
Skull Leader Posted November 20, 2014 Author Posted November 20, 2014 I still don't see links for ordering... must have!
modelglue Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Cool 1A! I like the hornet too, is that an E?
Skull Leader Posted November 20, 2014 Author Posted November 20, 2014 No, it's a C model I just built for a customer
MechTech Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Hey guys, catching up on threads. If you're talking about the 1/350th kits, let me know. Tundrayeti is casting them, but things going on in his life and mine have delayed release. - MT
Skull Leader Posted November 21, 2014 Author Posted November 21, 2014 modelglue: that's the revell kit, Aeromaster decals. Mechtech: I definitely want some valkyries and battlepods... any pics of the valkyries?
