This is a lot of fun.

Nice. I checked them out. Pretty plain, but there is not much out there in the 1/100 scale to choose from. Which did you get: The 1/100 & 1/87, or others?

Guess we all hit the workshop this weekend! I managed to hook up my Nupetiet with its own base. Still need to find flexible tubing to hide the wires.

On the Effects set: Any chance those missiles can hold to the missile pegs on the wings without bottom support from the stand?

Beautiful. May I call it, The Zaku? Or maybe Scopedog?

This fanboy needs that stand.

Well done. My feelings exactly. Shocked and pleased. Lets let the great tip battle begin. What color should those missile tips be?

From Orguss and Macross - Super Plastic Model Manuals.

That's true dedication! About what scale is that?

One day we will get SDF Macross redone, a la Yamato 2199.

I want THAT armor. Thinner legs, arms, chest, skirt and shoulders.

I've given up on transforming kits. Not worth the pain and suffering after experiencing the old Bandai variable kits in the 90's and the new VF-25 and the VF-1A/S.

Magnets make everything more fun!

I know we have discussed this before, but what is the justification for the huuuge missile shoulder packs? Is it line art or anime accurate? Except there is no way for most of us to get a Bandai valk these days in 2 sec windows. I've been shut out two times in a row.

Pretty expensive. But not an outrageous price, the way things are going these days for niche collectibles.

Very cute.

Don't be misled, this has been fully painted, decaled, coated, and panel lined. He means he did not customize the build beyond following the instructions out of the box, as some experts do.

Lets remember love everyone.

Okay my magnetic wire is rated 30awg, which is just as strong as my thicker kynar wires. Follow up dumb electronic question: If I have two 5v servos operating at the same time, does that mean 10v are going to ground, or still only 5v? (My power source is 5v board, as mentioned before.) Granted, my understanding is probably all wrong about ground, and its not measured in volts.

You said to make the main line a good size, does that mean one magnet wire wont be enough to handle the draw down from several servos and leds?

Don't do it.

Always wondered, other than the pilots and super parts, any differences between Virgin Road VF-1J and the regular Max VF-1J?

Beautiful. What was more difficult to sculpt: the watch or the Legioss?

There is certainly a pattern to them. So they are very intentional.
