    So I took my 1st step into a larger world..... After watching massive reviews and comparisons on YouTube (shout out to Barbatos Rex) his hobby channel is amazing.. I now own a pair of excellent nippers. These are truly amazing to use. Can't wait to use them while building kits. The quality is beyond great and the packaging is 1st class all the way. I'm now a fan of Dspiae. My old Xurons (which I have used for years now and never had any issues) will be relegated to big sprue cutting.

    @tekering - yes, what he said!!! I'm very curious!

    I have to say, Roy is a great figure. Feels much better than Rickaru in hand. I have no problem paying the asking price for quality products. If budgets work out this fall, I will want Dana/Jeanne for my collection. I really want Misa/Lisa, but uhgg..those knees just kill me!!! 🤢

    @Thom - Those cockpit details are amazing! Great job! @electric indigo - I don't know what it is, but I'm loving the colors!

    Focker has landed. Since 1985 I have been wanting accurate good quality figures for Macross /Robotech. I can say that with this release they have really made that dream a reality! This release is miles better than Rickaru IMHO. Feels like a quality product and all the accessories are great. Paint aps are excellent and QC on mine is good. Package was shipped with hard plastic corner protectors straight from Hong Kong so no package damage whatsoever. Great job KitzConcept! Now where's my Max/Claudia and all the rest???!!!

    @borgified - I had all the 29's at one point years ago, sold them off for CC debt reasons. My two favs were Ozma and the Roy ones. Rod was ok. I always wished they had done a "cannon fodder" darker brown version, same color as like the CF 1:60V2 VF-1's, or CF VF-25's.

    I'm all in for a new colored 29!!! Never did like the red/white.

    @Dobber - Going with the good ole Rio Grande from DS-9, however, I'm gonna do a couple small TX state flag symbols/flag decals just for fun! Cause hey, gotta represent my great state of TX!

    @Thom - Thanks! @peter - Yeh it has greeblees on top of its greeblees! LOL! I don't know how much more I'll do though...haha! @Dobber - You have no idea -- this is the longest I've ever taken building a kit - I'm at the 10.5 month mark, BUT, the custom interior was a HUGE chunk of time, and the lighting, and the terrible fit of the fit in general! Been a breeze other than that!

    Very cool! These are SO rare. Can't wait to see it all built up and painted! Good Luck!
  17. derex3592
    THIS!!! Flight suits are cool and all, but I really hope they go around again and do the dress uniforms at least for Rick and Roy. Maybe another Minmey outfit as well. I would buy again.
  18. derex3592
    Ya know....if I had nothing but money, I'd have all these on some cool floating shelves in my office at work. Damn, they do look good!
  19. derex3592
    I sincerely HOPE SO as my Hickaru took a fall and his arm popped off at the elbow..had to glue it back..not a very well made figure IMHO. Going to treat Roy very gently.
  20. derex3592
    Ok, I'm gonna have to watch the whole trilogy once this comes out. That was a pretty darn good trailer.

    Bit more painting progress on the Titanic...base drilled out for wiring later, sanded, primed and painted with multiple layers of Rust-O-Leum gloss black from a rattle can. Gold supports assembled, puttied the cracks as best I could, primed and painted with Tamiya Gold from a rattle can. Tamiya Racing White applied to upper hull. Now the fun part, the yellow stripe.... Hindsight being 20/20, I should have painted the black section first then the red, then the white, THEN the yellow line. Oh well. Also got a minute to play with the very cool and stretchy E-Z line I purchased for the rigging! This stuff is really cool! Recommended by the The Midwest Model Shop guy, Ben who's YouTube channel I watch for all things ships nowadays. Not nearly as scared to attempt the rigging now that I have this stuff, still gonna be a challenge, but I'll practice more before the time comes. Stay tuned!

    Amazing work so far @tekering! 🤩
  23. derex3592
    Well....that pic says it ALL doesn't it. MP-11 for Alt Mode all day every day. MP-52 for Robot mode does it for me. SADLY...they couldn't keep the same light grey color as MP-11, which for me is why I'm not plunking down $$$ for MP-52. To damn dark!

    My Brother In Law got the glass back from the glass place this week and he did the print on the glass for me. It looks amazing. Here is a pic of the glass fresh off the printer and also a mockup of how this 10 month long project is going to look in the end. More detail painting continues... but we're getting there! Bring the warp engines on line!! Hype train now boarding!!!
