Finally got a Fast Pack set!

Congrats on finally getting the "holy grail" after wanting one for so long.

Oops, I forgot the .

I'd say, "don't take this personally," but you're going to anyway, so why bother? "Make sure what you praise is flawless?" That's some kind of argument, I guess? "Flawless" isn't required, only "better" is required to say that one product is better than another. I'm not an 1/60 Yamato enthusiast, but the MPC is a trully a master piece of crap. I'll say this again: JUST LOOK AT IT! Please post a pic, so everybody can see (in case someone hasn't seen one). Oh, and let's not forget the price tag! Oh yeah, again, please post up a pic of the MPC. Please get the lighting and pose as perfect as you can. If possible, have special effects professionals help you out. Have Playboy magazine do one of their famous airbrush jobs on it. The result is going to be the same; you can shine dog crap all day long, and you'll still have dog crap at the end of the day.

I really don't think "personal" is quite the right word. I just read the replies as people wanting to HELP you not make the same mistakes they feel they did by purchasing the MPC. Now, on a more personal note, I don't know how anybody would buy the MPC. I mean, just look at it! The thing looks like a bad Bandai bootleg.

LMAO! May I borrow this thread title, when I get a collection?

If comparing the Toynami with Yamato, I have to TOTALLY disagree with this statement. Toynami's are soooooo badly made that I left mine in it's box. I couldn't even get the thing to stand. If you like packaging better than the product, then get the Toynami. Even if you can find a Toynami for $30, it's still a rip-off. $20, maybe. Y'all better be careful, because there's a rabid MPC guy on here that would love this thread!

You could do what I did and get the one that's on discount!

Actually everybody here is quite serious about it. In fact, I remember the last RT talking newbie; we all threatened him, over the internet, to have our dads beat up his dad.

I don't know why the guy at the hobby store didn't just say, "use a Q-tip if you're a beginner." Anyway, thanks for the "tip." I'll definitely give this one a try.

Welcome. . . and I wouldn't use the "R" word around here.

And a far shot. For beginners, like me, the pencil is nice, because there's always the eraser if you get too much on. Airbrush is hard to erase!

I've seen some chalk work, first hand, at a hobby store, and it looks awesome. The drawback, as the modeler told me, is that it is an "advanced technique." For somebody who is reluctant to use an airbrush for the first time, you might try rubbing a pencil onto a piece of cardstock and using your finger to smear the weathering on and then covering the weathering with Future or other sealer of choice. This is what it looks like.

And the other one.

I've had these two kits for years, but I don't see myself building them anytime soon. I'd just like to know a ballpark fair asking price for them.

There's something I've never noticed. Yeah, where's it from?

I don't think the M&Ms will be a "limited edition," which means they shouldn't be difficult to find, like the low-vis. Unless you're posting up from Antarctica, I don't see the difficulty in getting any of the other 1/48s produced.

Those are definitely cool.

Good, because it will be 1 to 2 years before I can afford to get the Max and Millia 1/48s!
