Then I assume it would be about 4 feet long!

Oh, the kit's terrible. No doubt about that. And that's the driving factor for this custom in the first place: how can I make it beautiful? These ugly 80s kits are the only official Zentran battleships out there. Could we get something new now with Delta driving the market? I hope so.

Comparing my Wave Legioss to the Max, I see a lot of design similarities. Maybe same sculptor?

Music to my ears, my kid said, "I want to watch the Macross movie again." I can't recall him asking to rewatch another movie with me before.

Really? How come kids Xmas specials are all psychedelic? Thinking of Star Wars among others...

Good old spray cans. I'm trying to migrate to airbrush, but can't beat cans for consistency.

NZEOD, you should start a thread analyzing "real war" in Macross. Question: I've always wondered what is the best glue to use to attach dead stickers, not decals. I've tried different glues that dont work.

+1 They're not cheap either. You could get an HMR for less than two of those, I think.

Hope exchange rate relaxes by the time of Monster release. Damn you Brexit!

Monster next month. It's going to be huuuuge.

I checked your Flickr. Dang, you can paint! Drool...

We could basically call this thread, "How to raise your kids on anime." I guess us old-schoolers have grown up.

I wonder at what time they play those promo videos.

From the Tamashii images, I really can't tell if Max parts are white or off-white. They even have a blue tinge, probably from the lighting reflecting off the blue body paint.

I'm trying to make better photos, but it's really tough to get the lighting right with the leds.

I'm really in it only for the non-valk mecha, and some re-paints which I don;t have space for in 1/60. But there have been a lot of VF-1s so far. Hope they don;t burn out before the more interesting stuff.

I too rock out to Basara. There is better Fire Bomber music than was shown in the series itself, which painfully replayed the same hero song over and over. Fact is the lead singer has one of the best set of set of Rock vocal chords ever. I'm sure he can do a mean AC/DC cover. Nice to see the ladies represented. Makes me optimistic Macross would be great for my young daughter in a couple years. Kids are always smarter than we think they are, and they pick up on the smallest things and remind you about it weeks later. I'm struggling with how to explain the obligatory "shower scenes" in even tame fare like Macross, Southern Cross and Gundam.

They could have made them rotate out, without springs. The kid in me always wants a perfect transformation, even before I knew what that meant.

I just wish they had internal landing gears. Is there an engineering impediment to this?

Some dates here. Someone translate.

I can just see little kids rocking out to Basara.

Good point.

My ears are still ringing from 7. He can watch that on his own!

Yeah, I don't see Frontier on our playlist any time soon! Sheryl is definitely NSFKids. Maybe Mac II and then Plus (Subs only in my house from here on!)
