jvmacross Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 (edited) The "White Base" looks good with HMR.....just the right height..... The chain base modules are too short when not stacked on top of each other.....and too tall when they are....I was thinking of going HMR with my chain base pieces....but after seeing them on display with them, I'll need to either get some "white bases", some "Macross Factory" kits, or stick to 1/60 on them.... Best thing would be for some Macross specific hangars...either official or 3P stuff would work.....would be an easy project for the 3D folks on the board I think.....

The canonicity of the color scheme is somewhat controversial, too, since they appear so infrequently in the film, and only in low-lit environs...

Sandman Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Anyone know the release date for the Spartan. My pw at hlj is going to autoship in 6 days (may 22nd). I'm hoping it is in before then so i can ship it with the rest of my stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barurutor Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Dioramas like sh9000's make me regret selling my extra 2 regults (PO'd 3 initially). Now regults are getting more expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti88 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 (edited) just wait for the regult variants and then stock up! but true i guess it would make more sense for more grunts than missile pods eh... Edited May 16, 2017 by seti88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They CAN support the micro missiles on their own, but depending on the peg and hole they might loosen quickly. The outer hardpoints on my Max supported them just fine, but one of the inner ones was immediately loosening when I added the weight of the micro missiles. I ended up using the support arms with my micro missiles just to avoid the weight loosening them over time or otherwise causing complications. The extra mount points on Act 5 stands (like the custom ones Roy, Max, and Millia came with) are perfect for putting support arms from the missile sets into so you can continue using those rather than the tripod stands they used with the Regult, Gulag, and the missile sets.

Seemingly no action taken by Nippon-Yassan representatives to update Japan Post of the need to amend address. I managed to call and was lucky to hit onto a person willing to help me from Australia Post on Friday. He interpreted "no unit number and/or street number" as not 2 items missing but probably just a 1 item missing from the address. He took the amendment for me and got it sent to the distribution centre. The package was attempted on Monday, I was too busy to pick it up on Tuesday and so I luckily was able to pick it up today. In my support ticket request to Nippon-Yassan, they stated that it "was definitely addressed correctly" and when I picked up the package, sure enough the label was absolutely missing the street address number. I took a photo of the postage label and updated my support ticket detailing to them the numerous phone calls, attempts to have Nippon-Yassan representatives to perform the address amendment to Japan Post and eventually getting it on a 2 week delay because of the incorrectly (and proven) label for postage. I asked in the ticket that this matter be taken to management that I should have some financial recompense for the mistake taken by Nippon-Yassan representatives to create the extra work from me as well as delay in shipping all due to a desire that I not have to pay for a second round of postage if it was sent back to sender because of the missing detail on the postage label. Anyway - here's a couple of concept shots I'm trying to do. Any thoughts toward what else I could do to improve on the concept a bit more?

Tking22 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I got my two missile sets in and I'm meh on them, I don't think they are worth the price. Kind of neat though, I just don't think I will ever use or display them. Oh well, I'll hold onto them for a bit, but they will more then likely be meeting Ebay eventually.
