haneto Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 I searched many times for the pictures of this "kit" but never find one. So I just bought myself one and hope to give you guys some ideas how it looks. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 Very cool - thanks for sharing. Can't wait to see what your build looks like as it should be a nice compliment to your awesome VF-1J custom. -b. Quote
Kelsain Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 Wow, thanks for the iPhone for scale. That's awesome. If only it'd gone to full production... Quote
Actar Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 Wow, that looks like a beast to build. I expect that it requires more work than just snapping the pieces together? Sanding, painting, gluing, etc... Quote
Lynk Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 I've always liked this pic as a comparison for scale the best Also... if I had the money and the skill to be able to put it together and paint it properly, I'd buy one at the drop of a hat... But I've spent all of my money on other Macross toy pre-orders and have no skill with kits... Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 I love this thing. It's interesting to note that there are no screws used for any part of the construction process. It's pretty much a snap-fit kit. I really wish this could accomodate the T-Rex Zent. It would have been awesome as part of a great diorama piece. Quote
Kelsain Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 I've always liked this pic as a comparison for scale the best Yeah, that's cool. But while I don't have a VF-1, I do have an iPhone. Makes it a bit more tangible for me. Quote

And why aren't there more pictures of these things!?! Quote
EXO Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 This isn't a review... Great comparison pics though. Quote
jenius Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 Not a review yet, but perhaps a preamble to a build-up and then review? I'd love to see it. Quote
Reïvaj Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 I love this thing. It's interesting to note that there are no screws used for any part of the construction process. It's pretty much a snap-fit kit. I really wish this could accomodate the T-Rex Zent. It would have been awesome as part of a great diorama piece. It can but the feet. But I’m not really sure I can see the point of squeezing a poor Zentradi in there… Quote
valhary Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 thanks for the pics I always wondering why the owners of this beauty never published pics or reviews I keeping this topic of close and maybe help to decide if acquire one in the future or not Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 thanks for the pics I always wondering why the owners of this beauty never published pics or reviews I keeping this topic of close and maybe help to decide if acquire one in the future or not I still have mine boxed Haven't decided to build and paint it yet. It's so awesome that I'd get a second one to build and leave it unpainted like it was a prototype. Quote
treatment Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 nice pics. you guys really have time to put this kit all together? Quote
haneto Posted November 3, 2011 Author Posted November 3, 2011 thanks for the pics I always wondering why the owners of this beauty never published pics or reviews I keeping this topic of close and maybe help to decide if acquire one in the future or not Same feeling with you. Cannot understand why the owners of this kit do not share some pics to publics. I searched many hours on Internet but found nothing about the contenct pics except the official ones. So I feel quite rediculous and just bought mine to see how it looks at the end. I have started the kit for a while and the fitting is nice. Snap fit without screws indeed but you still need super glues to strengthen some places. Even to a normal scale modeleler, this thing is just a piece of cake to finish. And now I know why there's no finished toys of this Regult. The cost to produce and make up this model is too high. The kit price is JPY38,000 and I believe the finished good would be at least JPY60,000. Cheers, Yufei Quote
valhary Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 agree the overpriced was the big problem for the poor popularity Quote
pud333 Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 The price is a dealbreaker. Plus, I don't have the talent or patience to attempt something like this. Just putting on the plastic bits on the SDF-1 nearly killed me (and my back, bending over the freaking coffeetable). I look forward to seeing it completed! If Yamato ever made a good regult that I didn't have to assemble - doesn't even have to be in scale, since I have no space - I would totally buy it. Quote
Kicker773 Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 Keep up the good work.. excited to see your finished work.. =) Quote
boyarque Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Love the kit, and love ur efforts....but yeah, could not afford it at that price, I better save up for the 1/3000 SDF-1 TV Version (as if ). Quote
