Quality and gameplay wise, I think the DYRL hybrid pack game was even better than macross 30.

Did you CFW/HEN your vita? You can pack the iso/cso for psp macross onto the vita and play it on the vita.

Okay @Graham game‘s on. I got a ps vita tv from eBay, only to play scramble… I‘ll probably CFW it, so i can play my old psp games on the big screen.

In the 80s, I was sitting in communist Germany, and build classics like the IL-62... plasticart model kits hahah. No airbrushes, only brushes. And when you wanted to build something else ... well, you got to get material from somewhere and scratch build, but I was too young for that. I build a Spitfire Mk.II from wood based off picture from books though. It was looking horrible. That messerschmidt - is that a prototype? Looks fancy

@Big s & @MechTech oh man - I didn't expect to trigger people's memories with this one. Haha Yeah, it has some optional parts that ended up in the bin, because I had no use for them. One seemed to reassemble a gatling gun ... but that is Revell quality. Just a blob of plastic haha. I know only one guy that was in Vietnam, the dad from one of my best friends. But he was on the other side and got an award of honor because he ended a few US soldiers. He never really spoke about it, until I went to military services in Germany. He took me aside and said "war is not good. first thing a soldier should learn is to drop the weapon and raise hands." He told me a few things about the war, and gave me some valued advise. My friend was totally flabbergasted as his dad never told stories about the war. ... and man flying in one sounds awesome @Papa Rat Yeah, I let him cut and glue some pieces from time to time, but his hands are still a bit too much uncontrolled. He builds tons of stuff with (Lego) bricks though.

Awesome stuff everyone! I did something not so awesome recently. My kid likes choppers, so I build up a Hughes 500C without paint etc. (because he doesn't care for paint). Horrible Revell kit. The windows were too small and didn’t fit into the frame (check the last and second last picture, you can see the gap there). Not to speak about the terrible fit. Had to clamp down everything…

yeah, last November I dedusted my PS3, got new thermal paste onto it and did some general cleaning of the insides, replacing pads and as well, replacing controller batteries. I got some fancy ones off eBay with double the capacity the original ones have. Then I also added a bigger SSD as the old 120gb HDD was horribly slow and degrading. I got platin on Macross 30 in December and 100% all the hybrid pack games. The only Macross game missing for me now is Scramble... (except for my emulation attempts with Vita3K).

ah okay - but pictures are up on 1999.co.jp. It appears they remodeled the engine bays/legs from scratch.

cool, congratulations - I am thinking about getting a vita TV for scramble, as it apparently works properly on the big screen. Scramble is probably the only game I want to play on Vita, maybe uncharted too, but I've been told Golden Abyss pretty much sucks and does nothing to Nathan Drakes story. I don't want to purchase a console to play only one game on it (again).

do some unboxing pics, pretty please

yeah, I mean, they did a bunch of their limited boxes like the VF-0C and so on as well recently. Hope they do the VF-0A as well (or I just butcher one of my VF-0A/S w Ghost boxes).

I am wondering if Hasegawa will reissue some of their Macross Delta kits. I wanted to get a Mirage VF-31C. A lot of them are listed as "Discontinued" on HLJ (which doesn't mean much though).

Depending on the Vita3K build Delta scramble will actually load up or not. I have been testing around with configurations and can actually get to the point where it loads a mission, but then rendered stuff is either black or, fittingly, highly scrambled.

I think the playstation store for vita was shut down, so no - unless you download the DLC from somewhere and CFW/HEN your vita, you'll be out of luck.

Putty and sanding on the VF-1J. While doing this, I noticed I am on my last bottle of Alclad 2 primer and microfiller. Unfortunately this doesn’t seem to be distributed anymore (through the UK, due to some regulations on lacquer colors). Now I am in search for a proper replacement as I don’t want to pay the ridiculous shipping prices from the US to Germany. Any suggestions? Mr. Surfacer doesn’t work for me as I am using Revell enamel colors. Same for Tamiya surfacer. They tend to develop cracks on these two surfacers. The revell primer is okayish, but I want something that is primer and microfiller.
