Bandai to release Star Wars Model kits
wm cheng replied to Wiz13688's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Yeah, but the tampo printing on those ships were phenomenal - how they were able to get legible lettering that small and around all the complex surfaces and subtle aztec paneling was a work of art. We can't even get an intake marking from Arcadia! How pronounced is the inward tilt? I heard it was a mistake on one of the models but depending on the size, its perfectly parallel on another sized filming miniature. Now, I'm waiting for that Star Destroyer! (preferably with lighting components). -
Woohoo! Got my email confirmation from HLJ... going to sleep now, 4hrs till another 12hr work day! Good luck to everyone else.
-
Hmm, I think I got it, it said I got it from HLJ but I haven't received an email confirmation yet and when I check my "open orders" it says nothing... now I'm worried
-
Woohoo!!! Thank you guys... got one from HLJ.
-
No where else?! It wasn't even 10 seconds from when I refreshed (given the server was painfully slow)
-
There's no way they can process that many orders in that span of time?!
-
Pre-Orders Closed on AmiAmi already!
-
Still nothing on NY?!
-
Where is NY's placeholder? argh...
-
Thanks! See you all here in 3.5hrs - good luck
-
So is it 2am or 3am EST tonight?
-
Hey, isn't it 0300 EST to be 1600 in Japan? So for us in EST is it 2am or 3am?

Congrats Derex! How is it compared to the Fine Molds version? The black part being attached to the grey would suck if you're going to paint it (which most "real" modelers would) - is it geared towards Gunplay type of building (which drove me nuts on the Macross Frontier models). Why is there two version of Darth Vader, one and a mini me - did Bandai get the scale right of the cockpit?
-
Hopefully it could make Arcadia wake and realize they could tampo a few more markings on there other than the UN Kite
-
Great setup! Very clean. Looks like you only have 2 more places left to go You're lucky the misses lets your hobby invade such a public part of the house, I've got mine confined to my workroom ONLY..

I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but I love these proportions. For me the aircraft mode is the the most important and its just sleeker, but this thinner design is really selling me on the Battroid now and just looks so much more updated without loosing the original intent (IMHO). I always thought the original design was a bit dated and 80s and the Arcadia one just catered too much to the Battroid mode at the expense of the Fighter mode - it looked too fat, dumpy and squat for my personal taste. Now with all the extra tampo data stenciling and markings is just icing on the cake for me! With over $100 cheaper than the Arcadia, its a no brainer now... if I can only just get in on a pre-order. Of course I plan to stay up Tuesday morning, but my track record has been pretty unsuccessful so far.
-
Sure not looking forward to another night staying up...
-
My nose is a bit crooked to one side even when I push it in all the way, is there a fix for that? I can't really see why, but one side is nice and tight and the other side has a gap that I can't close up.
-
AMAZING Dobber! Looking so good. I wished they had those markings for the GX-64... it really does look like a toy next to this "real" model.
-
Must be the final production since its bare with only the most minimum of tampo markings. I guess they decided to grace us with the intake warning on this one?! - argh!
-
Hey since when did anyone mod a F-5 to have twin tails?!
-
Beautiful! I can't believe how small that thing is until you have the Tamiya paint bottle beside it. Great job.
-
Don't be holding our breath... I keep seeing the wooden deck colour everywhere now, which leads me to thinking that maybe I should paint that portion of the toy too. Haven't decided about putting on the photo-etched handrails or not as I never see them in any reference, but it would give the toy some scale. Maybe I might get around to it during the Christmas Holidays, but I haven't had a chance to touch it since I got it initially.

Hmm, a little underwhelmed.
