Chris, Thanks, your making my dreams reality. Alex

Aren't headaches and B...J...s the same?

Skippy438, You have chosen a very cool thread to start, Kudos. Well, last year my wife bought me my first 1/48 (1J Hikaru with Super Packs), and throughout the rest of the year she has purchased about 20 more valks (of various scales). This year she has already set aside a fund to purchase for me as a gift, on my B-day: - 1/48 GBP - 1/100 Koenig Monster - 1/48 Roy (third edition) - 1/48 Strike Pack (for Roy) - and who knows what other things she (yes, she) has in mind. My wife is my everything. I love her whole-heartedly, and I appreciate everything she does for me. I can never say I could ever be whole with out her.

I thought it was Bobe-Patt. J/K

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, Alex Tribec says, "The categories are, "Name that sweet FSS", "What's my FSS name, Biotch!", and "Who's your BIG RED FSS DADDY!"" Alex - Zero-Mare this is your thread so you get to pick the category. Zero Mare - "I'll take, "What is my FSS name, Biotch!, for a thousand." Alex - The answer is, "Who is the FSS mecha, NB4M seeks?" Zero-Mare Rings in and answers, "What is Phantom? Alex delcares, "Wrong, and now you DIE!!!" (shoots index card at jugular of Zero-Mare.) Highlander hesitantly rings in. "What is Ashura?" Alex - "Ooohh, I'm sorry. You got the right answer but phrased it incorrectly. It should have been, ASHURAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! GGGRRRRRAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" (Alex yields a giant cue card from behind and slashes Highlander to bits.) The answer is Ashura! Thanks guys, BTW is this kit still available? How difficult is it to obtain and build?

I punched up FSS in a Google Images and came up with this. The Phantom on the bottom is the one I really want. It's strange though, IIRC I had seen this kit at about the same time the Led was orginally released. Correct me if I am wrong. Could you post pics of the other red colored types? Thanks, Alex

Zero-Mare, Would you be able to tell me what the red FSS mecha is? I saw it so many years ago that I can't remember the name of it, only what it looked like. Thanks.

Is that like the waterslide set Barbie has?

FSS has some of the best mecha ever. I have never seen the anime (I really need to though), but I have always loved the look. The designs almost seem surreal. I remember seeing these; Led Mirage, also a white, a red, and a gold kit and fevering to build them, but the prices for these (from what I found) were astronomiCalifornia!!! $350-475!!! One day...I will own and build at least one.

KidK, Got pics? I've been curious to see what this would look like in 1/55.

Count me in for one kit. Once the casting begins, I might be in for two.

That's pretty funny and disturbing. How much time do you have to kill to come up with something like this? Oh well, Monkey See Monkey....another Monkey!

So what's the going price for one of these rare specimens? Mint? Loose?

(with a hint of sarcasm) Nah, that couldn't the reason?

Funny how back in the old days people would customize Jetfires to Macross VFs and now it's vice versa. Who'd 'uve thunk it? Still a great looking custom.

Haterist, It would better if it were a Jher-WALKER.

I dunno, I think I would take the one on the right. The one in the middle looks like the head is "prairie doggin'." Besides, the sculpt from yamato looks like it is a real pain to pose, but a pleasure to own. No matter what, I am still going to buy two from Yama-yama-tamato.

Here you go. This ones for you, Bud.

Now that's a Transformer!!! Great Job! ***Don't forget to place the autobot rub-sign on the head.

Jasonc, Try drilling a pilot hole. This will help you set the piece exactly where you want to set it. Also, it will expose the resin so it maybe attached to the sprue using CA Glue, bonding almost instantly. If you use an angled sprue I think an an "L" shape or elbow would be usefull. It could also help when you glue it down it would present you with more surface to set together. I hope this made sense.

Exo, Phew, for a moment there I thought I had my work cut out for me. I just met with BigKid24, cool guy. I mentioned to him about the cake. I told him I would do it only if there would be a couple of people (you being one of them) who would be willing to play the parts in that episode. Who would you be? Max? Millia?

That's cool by me. I'm not one for those back door shenanigans.

Last year I got a 1/48 VF-1J Super, from my wife.

Exo, Post a pic of their cake. I can't remember what it looks like.

BigKid24, Go to the models section. There you will find the VF-1D "Virgin Road" Colors and Build-Up Sheets.
