Good god that thing is HUGE....wow. I have the forums upload at 4500x4500 pixels...not sure why you 3024x4032 isn't working, sorry

Just imagine during peacetime, a micronized Exodol tours the valkyrie hangar deck and sees the thousands of kills each squadron made against his own. Awkward! Maybe someone can do the reverse...for the Hi Metal Glaug or the Yamato Q-Rau....put some valkyrie and destroid emblems on those. Can you make a special decal for Hikaru where it is just the head of Bodolza? Guess it might look like an octopus if it is just the silhouette.

Wow! Thank you for the pictures. How are you getting these so damn fast? Mine is stuck somewhere in Cincinnati. Those model kit rough sketches have never been published before, very excited to see those up close!! I had no idea Kawamori (and Miyatake!) would have done the action poses to hand off to Takani! (I see his sig on the bottom) That is crazy! This makes me think we might see more of these Kawamori sketches in his upcoming book! What a great time for Macross art fans. https://www.sbcr.jp/product/4797397185/ "In this book, we aim to collect as many rough sketches as possible, which are often omitted or omitted in existing books and magazines that have been set, and to publish them in the largest number possible. It was There are also quite a few drafts that I have never seen before. The book, which has about 600 pages (planned), is probably unprecedented as a book consisting of only preliminary drafts. It can be said that it is a permanent preservation version that fans must have."

Can you clarify? I can copy paste pictures right into the post or I can add them as an attachment (2nd ver)

this thing called Google is pretty useful!! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/madoverlord/megazone-23-omega-edition/posts/2938422

Any updates on this? Did I ever post some screengrabs from part 1 where the enemy is actually the Macross itself? Getting to old to remember jump to 49:30 ish vs a VF-1 the macross itself!

I just can't comprehend how something so minor (having white wheels on the landing gear) makes such a huge improvement in fighter mode in my old eyes. It really shouldn't matter, but I stumble every time I see the default gray there.

My Amazon seller for the Kakizaki refunded me 1000 yen on the shipping, because apparently it is coming by SEA I hope it is packed well
-
Weird...this one was no-shipping I swear, and now it is shipping enabled. And the Roy Focker is apparently out, at least via Amazon. Odd..HLJ is in stock for HJ Vintage, but Amazon says on the 3rd, but Amazon says Focker is out now, but HLJ shows not in stock yet.
-
i think the max pic upload dimensions are 4500x4500, so if you keep it under that it should be ok
-
Got notification the HJ Vintage is in stock at HLJ...so clicked SHIP! ($25) Thanks for the heads up on this book's existence, I totally missed it otherwise.

The 'Hey look at this really cool model build I saw' post
Shawn replied to Shawn's topic in Model kits
Hey-looks what is on the cover of the upcoming Hobby Japan Vintage Vol 4! (check the first page of this thread) https://twitter.com/GwynCampbell/status/1298275100702019584/photo/1 Nice! Can't wait, less that 2 weeks to go! S -
OK, not trying to be a smart-ass, really, but what is the point of the 310 sticker for the other (left) side tailfin. I thought the reason for doing 310 on the right fin was to have a 'style uniformity' in battroid mode with the tail fins folded So if you 'fix' the right side, you would then apply this to make the left side 'uniform' in battroid? There is an obvious non-smart-ass answer, but I can't figure it out yet. Help! Maybe it just make the left side broken to match a non-fixed right side? Do the instructions say anything about the decals?

This seller had 2x available this afternoon....and they removed their no shipping to the US restriction, so I jumped on it and got one. The order 'took' so will see if they change their mind. https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B089WGZJDG Shipped was 28400, so not good, but not bad... Order Summary Item(s) Subtotal:￥ 23,900 Shipping & Handling:￥ 4,500 Total:￥ 28,400 Grand Total:￥ 28,400

Thanks for the correction! 8/25 it is. S

I've only ever see that bottom large skylark poster once before at auction (and lost) for 15k. Is that yours?
-
So Kakizaki was supposed to be released on the 18th right? Been watching Amazon, and the pre-order went to in-stock, now almost out of stock (unfortunately they don't ship here) https://www.amazon.co.jp/DX超合金-劇場版VF-1A-バルキリー（柿崎速雄機）-超時空要塞マクロス-愛・おぼえていますか/dp/B089WGZJDG

Got notification HLJ has the Mospeada Book in stock-so it is now on the way! Glad to hear it is has content on the model kits-those are my favorite
-
BW specifically targeted this one item, so I made a decision to restrict discussion of it on the boards to respect that. I am not privy, and suspect neither is anyone but Noel, as to why they chose to make a notable vocal exception on this product and single him out. Its been made clear that my actions to restrict discussion are hypocritical, and I've made it clear my reason for the request.
-
My order with HLJ still shows open (not fulfilled) so I'm waiting too. I'm sure they've get it in stock soon.
-
Woah....that is a great looking piece! I can't recall is there a final version of that?
-
That Max VF-1S is incredible, nice work!!! Have you thought about painting the wheels white? (my only real gripe with the Bandai 1/48) Instead of the 001 decals coming in the Kakizaki to fix my Movie Hikaru tailfin, I wish they'd swap in some white wheel hubs!

Hi everyone, I'm asking you now to please limit any discussion of the specific Calibre Wings stock "CA72DC02 1/72 F-14 Low Visibility" on the forums here. This item has been specifically flagged by Big West and we will honor this notification the best we can. https://macross.jp/news/?id=1293 Please limit any 'well what about X and what about Y' products...we are not perfect by any means, but we TRY to point the site in the correct general direction. Lets leave it at that for now, most appreciated. You can discuss whatever you want via PM, I've no control over that, but please limit the public posts here. Thank you! The Management

Not sure it quite fits in here, but maybe. Over the decades have been collecting discount movie coupons and tickets. They are usually found pretty darn cheap, so it is fun finding all the variations!!

My most prized art piece, an original Takani of Milia's VF-1J in Gerwalk mode. I'm just in awe at how much detail he put into his art, he is my #1 favorite artist, then Tenjin of course! Got it back in 2011 for the most I've ever spent on a single Macross item, $800! (I"m not a crazy cel collector like some of you, where that would be a drop in the bucket) If you did not remember, he had a lot of his work up for sale. This was the cheapest valkyrie, so did pooled all the pennies together. http://www.macrossworld.com/the-ultimate-yoshiyuki-takani-macross-collection/ Again, have posted this before, but this is the first HQ pic I've uploaded of it. This REEEEEEAAAALLLYY makes me want a Macross Box art BOOK. Maybe I could do an unauthorized one like the Transformers ones or something and not get into too much trouble. Something something fair use right? From the Imai 1/72 Variable kit.
