WOW!! Those 1/72s look amazing. I'm not too keen on these designs but looking at these models just makes me want to have them all. Great pics, honkhet.

While sifting through some stuff in my garage this weekend, I came a cross a complete junk 1/40 Takatoku Orguss that I bought for about $20.00 a year ago, also a $2.00 1/48 that I won from ebay a couple of months ago, and thought to myself...I remember a joke from the animators of SDFMacross and SDOrguss. And the punchline never left my mind. So in about a day I cam up with this. Ha, ha, ha...this joke never gets old.

One of these days I'm going to have to begin this custom. I always flip through the Figure Ou mag just to look at this. Damn, Izzy, why must you torment me with more customs to make.

Does anyone know why Yamato never paints grey on the bezel around the visor of the VF-1J? I painted mine on the 1/48 the other day and it looks a hundred times better, both on the VF-1J SDFM and the DYRL (custom). Especially when the GBP-1S is atteched. *NOTE TO SELF - Even if these end up in the bargain bins, they're still not worth it.

First off...Congratulations on your bouncing baby bundle. Here is another, option that would be to fold up the boxes and stack all the insterts in a small closet. The accessories can be placed in baggies (labeled) and put away in the same closet. Keeping the boxes is a bit of a hassle when there in box-shape, but once flattened the free up a lot of space. You can always unfold the boxes to their normal shape, when the need arises.

Only if you display the items in dynamic poses that throw off the center of gravity on the figure that it then tends to fall with the slightest tap. The YF-21 is pretty sturdy on it's own two feet without the use of any aids. As a matter of fact I have my YF-21 on a makeshift shelf loaded with other mecha and wether I bump the shelf or not the YF-21 (and others) stay standing. --------------------------------------------------------- geepogi, If you can see if there is any other alternative like placing a small rubber disc inside the ball joint, or adding a small shim to increase friction. These can be removed in the future event that you need to replace the parts.

Awesome job. My favorite part was Hikaru's headless VF-1J dogding a blast from Kamjin's Glaug, by quickly turning into GERWALK!! ROTFLMAO!!

Exploding wings??? I've never hear of this 'til now.

Oh I'm still planning on releasing all these. I'm doing the best I can with the alloted time I have.

After seeing this, I would most certainly have to say that there is a very great possibility that Yamato would issue an Exlusive 1/48 version of the VT-1. Everything about it is screams set up to a larger scale. I love what they've done with this scuplt. This is a definite must have for me.

I thought these were to be released in mid to late April. Would be nice to get these in sooner.

I looked at the listing again. Guess what? The person who listed the item seems to have made a dramatic error with their photoshop madness of over/under correcting pictures. The listing is now for a blue slip cover as seen throughtout this thread.

IIRC, the valks are made by REDS. Available scales were 1/24, 1/32, and an odd 1/20 . The 1/24 was polyresin and the other two were just resin. All have very little details. Only the 1/24 is painted and needs minor assembly. None had strike or super packs.

That pretty much sums it up. Here's a couple of 1/48's that I have always loved to see, since day one.

Well here's the latest version to make an appearance. Black Slip Cover 1/48 VF-1S Weathered Roy

Awesome recast head!! Are the shoulders recasts as well??

IIRC, here is what I got: Clear Hair 1. Hikaru in Flight Suit 2. Minmei DYRL 3. Mylene 4. Ishtar 5. Mao Solid Hair 6. Hikaru in Flight Suit 7. Minmei DYRL 8. Mylene 9. Ishtar 10. Mao Chase 11. Blinking Mao with Solid Hair 12. Minmei Doll

Nice score. I too recently acquired the entire set of 12 figs of set 1 in one purchase. This includes all the solid hair, clear hair, winking eye, and Minmei doll. Can't wait for the re-release of set 3.

Now that's what I'm talking about!!! Yamato should totally include a screwDRIVER in every box, instead of the standard screw-YOU. Great pics logos.

Same here except that I'n not really into the whole weathered look. I can pass on the 1/48 "Weathered" versions. Saves lots of money and space. Plus the weathering on the 1/60 v.2 looks horrible. Waaaaaaaayyyy ooooooooooverrrrrrrrrrrrrrr donnnnnnnnnnnnnne. A blind guy with dark glasses could have done a better job than this.

How about taking the decals to a local specialty print shop and see what they can do for you along the lines of decal sheets.

Nice find!!! I soooo want these. Especially the VF-3000 Crusader.

What's the cartoon catalogue under the ARMD? Is Yamato considering to re-start where Imai left off on the 1/6 scale figs?

Since most of us have recieved out Max 1As, can someone tell me if these came with stickers or were this omitted from this exclusive.

1/48 is soooooo BOSS.
