    DHL came through with flying colors! Left box on porch without a signature as I requested. AE packaged well enough to suite me. TV Supers going on the 1J after dinner tonight! Good things come to those who wait!

    I really wish they'd gone the extra mile with the XL series and not just set the copier to 75% and hit go. Such a wasted opportunity. I don't have any as I just can't justify that price.

    Same here @mikeszekely! The thing about the 95 movie was it didn't take itself too seriously! It was just fun...something that has been utterly lost in modern hollyweird. I can still watch it today when I come across it on some random cable channel and be like "cool, Mortal Kombat is on"

    Well, if Macross Zero is your jam, (it isn't mine), then I don't think Bandai Pre-Order BS shenanigans will put anyone off an Arcadia product as their pre-orders do not create any drama. Which is nice....They are pricey, but it's a niche of a niche so whatever floats your cheerios as they say...

    amazing detail on those dials! Love it!

    THAT is freakin AWESOME!

    @DobberI've always loved the "Nebs" because you just know the model makers were told "Hey, we need a ship in like 3 days!" and they took an old D model kit, some spare parts from something else and a saw and went to town!

    Loving the E shots @pengbuzz!!! Over here, the Runabout puttying, sanding is going well, just have a few very faint light leaks to deal with on that main seam before final painting. In the mean time, my attention is turning to the base for this thing. I'm thinking that this graphic, printed on glass, (my brother in law owns a print shop and he can do that!) , glued to a wooden base painted with black spray paint with little shiny silver bits in the paint that kinda looks like a star field. Thoughts?

    I'm really digging most if not all of the STO ship designs. SO much better than STD IMHO. I pre-ordered the refit Enterprise F.

    Got an email from Amazon this morning saying the Moff Gideon Black Series figure is AGAIN delayed until mid June. uhhhhggg.

    This. A thousand times this.

    Same here. Arcadia rules the YF-19.

    I have a delivery date from AE from DHL for Thursday this week for my TV Supers. DHL texted me a link this morning for if I wanted to have them waive the signature requirement and leave it on my porch. I chose yes. We'll see how that plays out.

    @Salamander - consider yourself fortunate and count your blessings!

    Got a shipping payment request for TV Supers from AE last night. 4791Y or $44.56 USD - There is NO other choice. Ouch. Hopefully things are cheaper by the time the VF-1D/Fan Racer have to ship.

    I for one love the glossy metallic sheen going on there!

    @peterLOTS and LOTS of trial and error my friend! I looked back at my Google photos the other day and realized I've been working on this (slowly, admittingly) since about the 1st of September last year! Time flies! EDIT: Now that I've done it, honestly, the lighting is NOT the hard part, I'm not scared of that anymore. It's the designing and getting the custom interior to fit in that took the time on this one (not to mention the absolutely atrocious fit of the kit)

    Notice I said "a few days AFTER Bandai's product release date", not the pre-order date. Pre-orders for most stuff are months away, I've been waiting on the 2nd or 3rd or whatever round of reissues we are on for TV Super Parts very patiently. I put in an order last June when they came up again. They release tomorrow.

    Most places I've dealt with, (mainly AE or CD Japan or Ami Ami) last 2 years or so since 99% of folks as well as myself here stopped using Nippan Yasson, ship within a few days of Bandai's product release date. Of course the pandemic jacked with everything, so honestly it may vary, but I feel pretty good about pre-ordering for things that release now-through the end of this year. I think shipping will get back to normal hopefully sooner than later.

    Mine show as "prepping" under the "Pay Shipping" tab in my AE account as of just now. So I guess I'm waiting on a "pay us this much for shipping" email to come through.

    @Special Sauce - If you haven't yet joined in for a MW Bandai DX pre-order MADNESS party, it's something everyone should experience...once. pro-tip -- have alcohol handy. You'll need it!

    Pre-Ordered the Armor Set from Anime Export, easy peasy. Love TWE releases,
  23. derex3592
    @Special Sauce - actually it is kind of easier when it's a Tamishii Nations product. There is no pre-order madness, yes, you will pay a small mark up to get it from a reputable vendor, but it beats the snot out of staying up half the night and getting nothing!

    Here's some better daytime/evening pics of the project to this point. Trust me when I tell you, that was as close as those 2 halves were getting even with massive clamping and brass parts "spreading" the upper part apart for assembly. Overall, I'm happy with the result considering what I had to work with. Light leaks around the seam really are minor and the majority of the work will be on the front nose section of the ship. Time once again to break out the files, sandpaper, putty and ohh dear god the scribing tool....stay tuned!

    See----in my minds eye, the TV version SHOULD be grey! Grey! Grey! Grey!!! Grey visor, grey GBP Armor! Carpet should match the drapes!
