    I just finished weathering one of my 19's. I still have to work on the gunpod and the FAST pack and the other 19 and its accessories as well. But with this discussion on the included stickers and such and lack of people using them, I figured I'd take some pics now and put them up as an example of carefully cut stickers applied to the toy. Other modes to come after I finish the other stuff.

    Most likely they were pretty loose already. Mine were as also slightly loose already prior to the super parts being added. My Ozma 29 seems tighter though. The addition of the parts just made it more prone to moving, due to the slightly more mass added. But it's no looser when taking them back off. Just reiterating the previous two posts, there's really no significant stress put on the outer nacelle pivot. If you want to put on super parts, go right ahead.

    Man, I wish I had those. As always, great shots! So did VM just bring over his entire collection one day for a shoot or was this done over time?

    Well, if it looks so terrible, maybe I should take you up on your offer. You're too kind! Now I'm trying to figure out these white stripes on the leading edge of the wings on the super parts: In the game, the leading edge of the wings are pretty thin, but the one on the toy is pretty thick so I'm not sure if it would look silly or not painting it white or even light grey.

    Those videos need to be at least 10 min longer or something. They're way too short!

    Got my super packs much earlier than I expected to. Yay! In other news, I tried out spraying a dark filter on my gunpod to see how it would look against Ozma's 29. You can compare vs the handle which is the original color which I didn't spray since it would be prone to paint chips and it's hidden either in the hand or in fighter mode anyway. Gave it a quick oil wash too to bring out the details, particularly the inside parts. Sorry, I can't have the 29 holding the pod or do a better pic since it's all in pieces right now so this is the best I can do at the moment.

    That's a pretty clever mod!

    Thanks. As is yours. It took me a while to get mine all sorted out, but it's nice being able to sort the pics into multiple albums and such and the tags work, which is nice. Still trying to get used to it though.

    Or I suppose it could end up in the new upcoming Macross series.
  10. MacrossJunkie
    Not soon enough. Your pics made the wait that much harder It will be some time before I have pics to show since I plan on painting the missing colors and redoing the purple on the canopy and fold crystals with a clear purple Gaia Color paint, which the delivery estimate given was a huge range of Oct 6th - Oct 23rd... So worst case scenario, I could be waiting almost another three weeks for it or it could come tomorrow.

    Yeah, but 3 of those repaints were tied to major characters and one was a special case 30th anniversary repaint. The only thing I really see going for the chances of repaints is making more use of the mold. Thus far, I haven't seen Bandai release anything Macross related if it wasn't either tied to a character or featured in the show or elsewhere. I just don't have any idea if the repaints like the black/purple or red/black versions fit any of the above. But like you say, one never knows. It's the first time, I think, that they released a whole new design (YF-30) plus variants of a pre-existing design (new heads for YF-29) that was only in a game.
  12. MacrossJunkie
    What do you guys think the odds are that they would release repaints of this in other colors? I haven't played Macross 30 so I don't know if those other colored versions are attached to any characters or not. If not, I think chances of repaints are very slim.

    Probably a week from now. I picked EMS shipping but only got the shipping notice on Friday.
  14. MacrossJunkie
    I'm hoping that's just because it's still a prototype.
  15. MacrossJunkie
    It probably would, yeah. The holes are also pretty big so it might even look a little strange seeing right through to the detail underneath, which on the existing VF-0 toys, is not very impressive.
  16. MacrossJunkie
    That looks great and makes me even more impatient for my super parts to arrive!
  17. MacrossJunkie
    Are we talking about this? To be honest, I wouldn't trust putting the VB-6 on this thing on any roll axis beyond maybe 20 degrees. Pitch axis is okay for a greater degree. It's a very loose fit on the VB-6 and it rocks around while attached to it. I only got the normal one so I don't know if the SP version came with a better adapter. I know it came with a better base, but I don't recall if it used the same adapter piece. I could lend you mine if you want to use it to make an adapter for the stand. Just send me a PM.
  18. MacrossJunkie
    Cool, thank you. It looks pretty similar. I ordered some more paints and I'm going to try to match the light gray as best as I can to paint the wings with. Perhaps I should paint the gun too. I just don't know with what. I put Ozma's 25S gun on the 29 and it just looked like it was too much dark gray and that there needed to be some contrast. Maybe I should just try spraying a black filter on the gun to give it an overall darker tone.
  19. MacrossJunkie
    Beautiful shots as usual, Saburo. I have to agree that gun needs a darker color. Perhaps same color as the one that came with the 25S?
  20. MacrossJunkie
    Yeah, it looks like they have the same amount of detail but with the model's panel lines and such being much finer. On a side note, man, the close ups really show just how much the quality of Bandai's decals suck. They ought to be embarassed. People could print homemade decals better than that.
  21. MacrossJunkie
    That's a pretty sizable collection you've amassed in only two years, Pedro. I think my bank account would be weeping if I tried getting all that in that amount of time
  22. MacrossJunkie
    Well, I have to say that's certainly a vast improvement over the previous iteration. Thank you, Shukenzero, for taking the time to take those pics.

    I personally have 0% in GERWALK mode, not because I hate it but because it is the least space efficient mode out of the 3 and my display space is limited.
  24. MacrossJunkie
    I think the VF-0D is a prime candidate for GERWALK mode. It might just be my impression, but I feel like it spent most of its screen time in M0 in GERWALK mode.
  25. MacrossJunkie
    I probably misunderstood the first paragraph of your post I was referencing, but I wasn't really speaking of whether it was made to look like a woman, but merely pointing out that there was a difference in shape/curvature in the "chest" area between the normal VF-11s and the MAXL Kai and that it wasn't merely just interpretation in the eye of the beholder that the curvature was there.
