Thom Posted June 23 Posted June 23 Macross Qaurters in the background, so we better get a good scale Quarter! Quote

Chas Posted June 24 Posted June 24 I wonder if Milia could be modified so that she is holding the helmet in her right hand? Quote

Probably, but it would take some sculpting skills. You’d probably have to redo the hand and with the helmet dead, you would have to drill out the face and make the inside of the helmet. I think the helmet wouldn’t be too tough after getting the inside removed, then you could just use some epoxy to shape some simple padding. Quote

I was hoping that the face might be a separate piece that fits inside the helmet. If it's all one piece then that would be a no go. If the face is separate then that makes it more possible, but I guess I'll need to see what the parts actually look like to know if it's doable. Quote

Question: does the helmet have a faceplate (transparent), or is it all "open" (not sure if the anime has it as transparent)? Was wondering if it might just be easier to fill the front of the helmet and paint it to look reflective/tinted? Update: apparently it does- Edited June 24 by pengbuzz Quote

Not sure on that, it’s a bit tough to tell from the pictures.

Update: apparently it does- That I’m kinda doubtful on, it isn’t showing in any product pics yet , I have a feeling they’re going for the scene just before the final battle in the scenes where the faceplate is down, it appears clear. The Queadluun Rau kit has the faceplate as an option, but it’s just the color of the plastic. It may be possible to use that piece as a rough guide to make it, not sure if they’re sized the same or not. Quote
Chas Posted June 30 Posted June 30 (edited) Given how trapped the top of the legs are between the bottom of the chest intakes and the wings, is there really much point to the rotating the waist gimmick? I mean at most you might get 3-4 mm in rotation. Edited June 30 by Chas Quote

I mean at most you might get 3-4 mm in rotation. When the wings are unfolded, it gives space, but even then the legs are a bit limited. I think they should have redone their knee joints and added an a crunch like the wave and plamax battroids and things would have been more beneficial. But I’d really put the hasegawa battroids as a stand there and look pretty and the Plamax as the pose it anyway you want kinda thing Quote
Chas Posted June 30 Posted June 30 (edited) Yes with wings opened there is some space, but not very much at all. Evidenced by the promo pics. If dead centre is 12 o'clock then the rotation seen in that pic is about 11:00 at best. I think you are right with the crunch/knee mods. As it is the only real benefit is the TV style hands, which could be added to a reissue of the weapons set along with a TV pilot. I'd buy a bunch of those instead of this, which is an easy pass.

I much prefer the Hasegawa styling and don't really care about posing, so this is a must buy for me. Good to finally add a VF-1J Max to the thin assortment of other Hasegawa battroids. Can't wait to see the box art! Quote
tekering Posted July 4 Posted July 4 She's here! It's basically a garage kit, with everything that entails... Some delicate clean-up is definitely required. Scale looks just right to me...

VF-1A Grunt Posted July 4 Posted July 4 Hasegawa is re-releasing these two kits, just FYI: 1/72 VF-31A Kairos - Macross Delta 1/48 VF-1J Super/Strike Valkyrie SVF-41 Black Aces The Black Aces is my favorite squadron scheme of the ones they’ve done, so I’m tempted, but I already have a couple I haven’t built yet.

I think I have three of them now, along with 5 or 6 of the 1/72 version. I’d like to do one 1/48 model as in non-Super configuration at some point. Quote

I’d like to do one 1/48 model as in non-Super configuration at some point. Yeah I have 3 of the 1/72 I think. If I remember right, the 1/72 has 4 version options. For sure, will want to do 1 of each scale as a non-super. The tail markings are very cool on these. Not sure what to do with the leftover super parts though. Quote
Rock Posted July 5 Posted July 5 What retailers in North America are carrying Milla? Only place I can find is even is AmiAmi japan. All the usual places I get Hase kits seemed to skip over the resin. Quote
