That's not much easier then the SHE kits as these are variable kits too. That said one of the 3 I have IS a recast. The two kits on the left were released by Kip quite some time ago. I believe they were only event releases too. Not too sure about that as I'm not that familiar with Kip. However only the Hurgund kits is 100% original. The Proto Garland (I believe I've got my Megazone names strait) is a recast. The Hurgund box has sideart and a real AM sticker so I know its official. The Proto Garland box has no sideart and the AM sticker you see is a photocopy. I believe the boxart is a strait photocopy of the original Kip box top. I have seen an original Kip Proto Garland sell on Yahoo Japan. The one I'm thinking of went for about $800. All that said I think I've got the better kit and I paid alot less then $800 for it. The original Kip kits are quite old and resin kit making has come a long way in the last 10 years. My recast was made by the maker of the 'GR-2 Garland Mass Production Type' kit and he really cleaned up the original and made a few improvements to the kit too. I'm not going to disclose this makers name as I've been asked not to in the past but I will say this... he is a member here at Macross World and I bought both of these kits through Noel. At the time he was advertising both of these here at Macross World so I assume its safe to say that much. So all this is the long way of saying there isn't much point in me recasting mine. Two of my kits were made not that long ago in the molds owned by another member here. If there is demand I'm sure he could make more and better quality kits far easier then I. That does leave the Hurgund kit thought. When Noel gets back from Wonder Fest I'll ask him if this kit maker would like to copy/improve that kit as well. If so I'm sure we can work something out, but it will come secondary to me finding a job. hey pm me when he have decided to recast the megazone kit again thanks hopefuly he'll also do a recast of the vf-4g or the vf-5000 hehehh

Its a fair question. I have been known to lend out kits for recasting actually. However there is a reason why you never see any of the big recasting shops offering Studio HalfEye kits. With the number and complexity of parts in these kits any recast would cost as much as the original. If the day comes when its doable and not just a money pit... sure I'll share. Get cracking on the 3D scanner/printer technologies. Better yet... help me get my next job and I'll give you one provided I can find a replacement on Yahoo Japan for myself. how about doing some recast on the megazone model kits

hmm.. may i ask where can you still get those 1/20 megazone kits?

besides the vf-1 lines any news on what's next? maybe a vf-2ss or something?

hmmm..... I was wondering, any idea on whats the next yamato 1/48 lines gonna be? besides the release of the vf-1j max and milia

hi could you take some picture of the vf-4

you'll see some words below of your message that says file attachments

hey thanks

im planning to get a hasegawa model kit so i was wondering which is more articulated the hasegawa vf-1 battroid or the vf-1's strike battroid the one that include the fast packs?

i see...... thanks

oh ok thanks

hi guys I would like to know on what is the difference between the limited edition super poseable and the standard production of the super poseable edition? thanks

I thought so hhehe i really liked the paint job that he made for the valk

about the vfj model kit beside the glaug. who is the manufacturer that made that kit? is it hasegawa?

do you guys know any website that sells mini rc and the manufacturers name is perfection ,coz all the website that i found they were all sold out

Watch a lot of Barney, eh? nah my nieces watches barney before whenever i have to baby sit them

I don't think it was ever given a name. Just "The Baby". Great show, though I don't have a clue where to get it now. Maybe kazaa or something? Actually he did get a name. In one episode they took him to a mystic name chooser of sorts, and he gave him the name of The"Baby" Sinclaire. I still remeber the last episode of the show. I was kinda sad when they canned it. oh yah now I remember! hehe the name baby bop was from that freakin barny show hahahahah

WOW! that looks great. thats what i've been trying to do lately and im in the urg of just giving up and move on to the next model that im doing. anyway my plan was not only to build the vf-2ss without the fast pack, but also build a detachable fast pack for the vf-2ss

oh the baby thats baby bop right? or something. anyway what ever happened to that show?

hehe ok just use the independent double action air brush thats the best of its kind as far as i know hope this helps

ok here is the differences. a single action airbrush, which lets you control only the flow of air- in effect, it has an on off switch. in order to vary the density of paint, you would have to vary the distance between the air brush and the support. On the whole, this type of air brush is probably not good if you want a fine work on a relatively small scale. the double action is slightly more sofisticated the flow of medium and air is again controlled by a single lever, but the first part lever's travel starts the air flowing and the next stage lets the medium into the air stream. this mean that you can begin each pass of the airbrush gradually, and finish spraying the medium before moving the air brush away. however, the ratio of medium to air cannot be varied while the air brush is in use, though some models allow you to pre-set a specific ratio before you begin to spray. the independent double action design of air brush gives far greater control and is the type favored by professionals.in this design, the lever is pressed down to allow air to flow, and pulled back to regulate the amount of medium drawn into the air stream.

Yep! they are just simply elegant..

vf-1x battroid 1/48

oh i see thanks guys for all the info man some of them is worth like a thousand bucks! are they loko! hehhe

any idea where did this mech come from?
