Just realized tat pine sol corrodes bronze. The metal rod connecting the inner thights shows pretty significant corrosion while the spring was completely dissolved in pine sol (lol). Luckily the landing gears age good, now looks shiny after corrosion took the outer layer.

Work In Progress... I made a noob mess when spraying white paint too close to the parts and ended up being too thick (Testor Modeling Spray Can : White Gloss). Luckily Ive gotten used to the spraying distance by the time I spray the dark tan parts (Testor Modelling Spray Can : Dark Tan). Now Im soaking the white-painted parts in pine sol and will wait till tomorrow to brush them all and repaint. Pictures as follows (sorry for the crappy celly pics) : Parts : Parts to be painted white : Parts to be painted dark tan : Progress so far : Wish me luck!

thats a sweet haul. were all those came from mandarake or YJ?
-
yeah, thats what I thought too. theyre like almost $200 nowadays. sheesh! bandai should reissue it with improvements and that 25A is good price. congrats to whoever got that!
-
been away from mandarake and saw this : http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-1651680.html congrats to the person who got it
-
cheap as in $50-60 cheap. They have bunch of them on jungle
-
People seem to jump on them when theyre listed on mandarake. For me its a big gamble if they dont show at least a pic with the flap open, esp with the broken wings issue that some members here had experienced and the "As Is" condition theyre being listed...

since people are still talking about the new VF-25a super parts, might as well ask this was just wondering why are people ditching their Ozma's super parts in 2ndary market?. Prices have been pretty low for them, so was wondering why.. Is it because of the yellow markings? And if it is, has anyone successfully paint it over with other colors? Thanks!

Ha! Just found out that it was the 1/15000 Nichimo sdf-1 kit : http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/image/10016579z/70/1 Pretty neat for a $5 kit..too bad it has been discontinued
-
fantastic!
-
Yea, now that you mention it, the shoulder/hand transformation on the 5000 does transform like a 19, but the wings/cockpit transformations are more like the 11
-
I see. Thanks for the info. I dont need it, was only wondering what it was.. EDITED : Okay I just looked up the 1/20,000 kit and it seems like theyre not the same. This one has a base (macross city) and the feet thrusters are also removable...
-
Its the other way round. cockpit painted
-
HLJ is showing low stock for the 19...maybe its a good sign for Arcadia to re-issue other variants? Pretty sure they will include the weapon packs to make more money... Also if they can release the weapon packs separately, pretty sure people would jump on them too since theyre backward compatible with the VF-1. Come on Arcadia! Make the announcement already!
-
Does anyone know who made the SDF-1/Macross city below? Found it online and thought it looks cool. Kinda like the mini Arcadia SDF-1
-
congrats on the Koenig. man, those 2 are good hauls!
-
play and take more pictures!

maybe off topic but shapeway has 15% off orders with coupon : u4gsq -
After getting my 2 x VF-25A, I think Im done with Bandai Frontier line (even sold one back, MIB). That one I have will be the sole representative of the Frontier series. Maybe sometime in the future I'll pick up Ozma's 29 and thats about it. Cant see myself buying the 30...unless reviews / in-hand says its a fantastic toy. OK, I hate myself too. Cant wait to see the new show (and valks) !

stunning!

That's the old 19 (that Ive sold). It can hold19 in fighter & battroid or 21/22 in battroid only. Or you can get EXO's Bandai-to-Yamato adapters for those : http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=37807&hl=%2Bbandai+%2Byamato Bear in mind that the old 19 is way lighter than the new one..so, not sure if it can carry the weight of the new 19. Theyre wobbly, but stable. Not to the point that it would topple if you nudge it or if somebody accidentally hit the table/display case. Most it would do is wobble until it reaches steady state. -
For those who are yearning for the gunpod vents, was wondering if you could use stickers to "mimic" the vents...I mean so long as it looks cool-er, I dont see why not?

wow not even in HK? And here I thought HG has the rights only in the US...

Just admit youre more excited about ozma than your gf -
The vf-5000 looks like it shares a lot of similarities with the 11b especially during transformation between fighter to gerwalk..
