The part swap is the least of what needs to happen. The 1D has a different color scheme than every valk Yamato has released in the 1/48 line. You're looking at a complete repaint, which often requires some additional part modifications to eliminate possible paint scraping. I've started a topic in the For Sale forum regarding 1D customizations. Price is $250. You provide the valk and conversion parts, I provide everything else (including return shipping).

Just in case anyone was wondering, I still plan on making decal sets to complement the conversion kit. Price shouldn't exceed $10 and they'll be ready to go when the kits become available.

The best thing to do, if you're debating between the content of our sets, is to look at the preview pics posted in the store section of tmpanime.com. We took different approaches in terms of content. I went with a Hasegawa-inspired design theme while Takatoys tends to stay closer to what Yamato offers on the original sticker sheets. Both styles seem to keep people around here pretty happy. Please feel free to check out my entire catalog. I have almost 70 sets available now. Whew! Also, please PM me if you have any specific questions.

Just a quick reminder that I will stop taking orders on Friday, September 9. After that, it will likely be at least a few months before I am ready to take more orders.

The standard decal version is $10.99 at tmpanime.com. You can follow the link in my last post to find out more.

Turns out TMP is willing to bundle this decal set with the VF-1A for those who are interested. You end up saving a little on the decals that way. Tamim mentioned that if you've already preordered a valk and want the decals, submit a separate order for the decals and he will only charge you the discounted bundled price when everything's ready to ship. Not too shabby.... VF-1A decals at TMP VF-1A valk/decal bundle

I just finished up designing the following set of decals for the upcoming 1/48 CF release. It will include several lines of extra numbers so you're not stuck with the standard "117" designation. TMP will be carrying this set in its standard decal form. If you want a custom decal version (different pilot name, etc.) or the sticker version, please PM me. All of my other sets are still available, too. I've been getting a lot of requests lately so I decided to streamline the process with one of my old skool "general offerings." Here's a link to the thread in the For Sale section: Waterslide Decal and Sticker Sale

I have them on my web site, but my server is doing something funky, so here are they are. Each image is 300dpi and sized to print on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

I've had this project in the works for quite some time. What I've been missing are good quality scans of the originals to work with. If anyone can help, please PM me and I'll start the repro process.

I have the logo and text in Illustrator, which can be scaled to any size and will print cleanly. Best of all, the files are very small.

Here's the YF-21. I don't have anything for the VF-11 or FAST packs....

This "Marking & Painting Guide" from the Hasegawa kit should help you. It should print out fairly well.

This site should help you out: http://www.btinternet.com/%7Ebrmerc/Pinup1.html

Usually around $10 a set, depending on the size of the original sheet. Whats the price? 315061[/snapback]

I've been meaning to put together a step-by-step decal production guide for over three years now. There are not enough hours in the day, though.... I've pretty much tried every home-brewed method imaginable, including taking my designs to Kinko's. Each one has positives and negatives when it comes to cost, ease of production, print quality, and durability. I might approach Shawn or Graham about adding a decal production "how to" section to the main site. That is, once I have something written....

I make reproductions of Hasegawa decal sets. If R10 or HLJ can't help you, let me know.

I basically pulled an all-nighter to get this MG 2 strike custom done in time for the Con. It looks really good standing next to its older brother (the MG 1 strike on the right).

I make reproductions of the decals that come with that kit. They are $10 each, including shipping. If all you need is one or two decals, I'm sure we can work out something where it wouldn't cost you much. PM me. BTW: if the decal is just dented (not scratched), Grayson's right--you should be able to use it once you add a little Micro Sol during application to smooth out the creases.

I don't think the demand for this set was there so it was abandoned. Not abandoned, just put on hold for a little while. My life went to hell in a handbasket in November and only recently have I managed to get back on track in any meaningful sort of way with respect to Macross projects. With any luck, there will be sets available for purchase starting next month. I have to talk to Nick about it, though. There might even be some at the MW Con....

Hayato Kobayashi created the paint scheme and built the first model showcasing it. You can see pictures of it in the October 2001 issue of Model Graphix. There are links to scans of this issue on the main site.

Here you go: Blue Roses 002 Blue Roses 004

The decals should hold up just fine for many, many years. I have a few valks here with decals I designed and applied almost three years ago and they still look great. Gotta love ALPS printing....

Should be just a few more weeks before I can start selling these. I have to finish up a few long overdue custom projects first....

I haven't made the "Moon Act" decals available for general purchase. They were part of a commissioned order placed by a MW member and are only in 1/48 scale at this point. You can find application instructions for my other Minmay Guard sets here: http://dwhite.netwiz.net/app_guide/app_guide.html The decals you need to make a Minmay Guard Strike are only available in 1/48 scale. There just hasn't been enough demand for a 1/60 version to warrant the insane amount of time it would take to design it....

Tango Papa's stuff is expensive and you sometimes have to wait several weeks for a shipment. It's a one-man operation and his ordering system is a little clumsy. There are better options out there. You'll have a PM from me in about an hour, Jesse. Sorry for the delay....
