  1. Hey, my first kit-bash! Thought I'd share what I'm doing here to those who might not as yet taken the plunge in combining two different company's kits. For the main base kit, I'm using Hasegawa's VF-25 Super kit, since that way I don't have to futz around with trying to fit on the leg armor. You will need to separate these parts out, though. The middle portion is not needed. These are the Tornado parts you'll need from the Bandai kit. I despise the Bandai Frontier line, that's why I'm putting these parts onto a Hasegawa kit. Wings? You won't need them. You can also skip the part where you put in the wing mounts/swing mechanism, since you're going to keep the wings fully swept anyways. On the Tornado wings, you'll need to open the opening up a bit more to fit over the Hasegawa kit. That's where I'm at right now. When I come to more modifications, I'll update.
  2. Nakano Broadway Mandarake is a must-visit place. Just take the Chuo line, exit at Nakano Station, and head towards Sun Plaza. Follow that road to the end, and you're golden. All Mandarake stores open at noon, by the way.
  3. Good! I was wondering if it was actually going to play over here. Anyone notice the dialog change?
  4. I think he's being sarcastic. There is no Japanese version of Robotech.
  5. Well, this winter has been a lot milder than I expected (knock on wood), so I decided to keep on building instead of breaking for a few months. Gonna give this a try. Should work out (knock on wood again!)
  6. Japanese market, people. In this day and age, idols before mechs.
  7. I didn't know that either.
  8. Oh, it's the Bandai kit, and not the resin one? Then you can get the instructions here.
  9. Yes, it will.
  10. Yes to the sanding, no to the PE parts.
  11. Just finished up a 1/25 scale Christine 1958 Plymouth Fury kit from a.m.t. Man, I really hate American made kits now. Bad flash and molding, poor fit, and clear as mud instructions in some vital areas. Still, I'm glad I've got her now. Stripped all the plated parts, and painted with Alclad Chrome.
  12. I thought that looked familiar! I got one with no mirror, and no lighting; that's probably why I only paid about 1/3 of that price.
  13. Just read their "About Us" page. Though the Robotech Delta opening is pretty good.
  14. You're welcome! Do you have the original base hidden down in there, or is everything H Hanger? They are nice, aren’t they? Nice to see another launch arm build come out!
  15. Well, lechuck's location says "Germany". Not every country is as uptight as America and feels the need to release different versions of movie trailers.
  16. Probably. We do get about 2 million people coming in to visit. Maybe if you booked now?
  17. There's also going to be a Macross display at the Sapporo Snow Festival next year (2016). If anyone's in town to see it, drop me a line!
  18. Yeah, I hope that sequence is first episode only fan service; hope it's not an every episode thing.
  19. Not as prolific as I had hoped this year, until I remember that I did two group builds that ate up a lot of time, and my parents came to visit for much of August. How was your building year?
  20. It's this. Mwaaaa hahahahah!!! Alclad Chrome. I stripped all the plated parts, and repainted with that.
  21. I like it when an involved masking and painting job actually comes out like you planned!
