    Well, actually its my floppiest valk in my collection. I love they way it looks (although it still has the giant trench panel lines of the 1/48 era toys) but I can't even pick it up without the neck/forward fuselage flopping down, let alone zooming it around the room. I sure hope they've improved it since the original VF-0 - otherwise I'd sure be disappointed if they just stuck delta wings onto the old toy and decided to charge twice as much! Please, pls can someone beg on my behalf on twitter to Mr. K to make water-slide decals available as an option (I'd gladly pay for them!)

    Congrats MJ! That's the best looking YF-19 I've seen to date. Having all those markings really elevate it from a ridiculously expensive kids toy to a real adult collector's item. It looks simply fantastic, you should be proud. I can't wait to start in on mine... someday... I've re-traced all the Arcadia stickers in Illustrator to vector files, and I'm hoping to try out a guy that does "rub-on" transfers to see if he can do a opaque white now that Alps printers are no more but its taking forever for him to get back to me. I wish Anasazi was still around... (I'm so NOT looking forward to the VF-0D having to source out decals for that puppy especially since its a dark valk). It's been so disheartening to see mine naked especially after how much I had to paid for it.

    Unfortunately I know you're right... but its MW, I can bitch & complain can't I?! It really bugs me, can't they just include water slide decals as well - how much more would it really costs them to include that? AND what's with providing stand adapters to stands that they never include nor can we actually buy anywhere in stock? They're just laughing at us sayin' haha you can never use these adapters. I just don't get why everyone hates Bandai, for 1/3 the price they tampo print EVERYTHING and include a stand. You lucky U.S. people... you just don't understand the woes of paying an extra $40-50 per toy every time to the government that actively tries to prevent things you want from entering the country just because it doesn't have French on the label.

    Thanks Charger69 - just bit the bullet on ONE. Came out to the same price as the YF-19 shipped - at least I'll save $40-50 in duties with NY - I can't imagine HLJ will have a $40-50 discount. This better be better than the YF-19... - I'm only giving Arcadia one more chance because I do love the VF-0D design so much. Please, please tampo print more than just the UN Spacy Kites.

    Wow, still no stand at that price... just a stinking stand attachment, really?!

    I'm glad to hear some people applying the stickers. You don't have to go the whole nine yards, but just trimming and using the stickers adds a great deal to the toy. That's what really bugs me about the Yamacadias, they really could tampo print everything (especially at the prices they are asking for these days!)

    Nice Photos Saburo! Does everyone just leave their Valks naked? Doesn't people use the stickers?
  8. wm cheng
    Wow!!! At least we won't have to go through the Bandai pre-order shanagans. Everything better be tampo printed on for that price. I'm just not as sure anymore, as the YF-19 still left a sour taste in my mouth. It's still sitting naked on my shelf (until I can find some appropriate white printed water-slide decals for it). Judging from all the posts of amazing photography and collections, the vast majority of Yamacadias are still naked (so stickers just don't cut it!).

    Gorgeous!

    That sounds great! I love art books. How does one get all 3 books outside of Japan? Will the regular places like HLJ carry this (as a 3book set)?
  11. wm cheng
    Is it 2 books? (Vol 1 & 2) available Dec 6th 2014? with Vol 3. available in 2015? Wow, 21,990 Y that's a bit steep.
  12. wm cheng
    Hey derex, are all the instructions translated? Could you scan a nice copy of the english pamphlet? Where did you buy it?
  13. wm cheng
    Oh ok, sorry I guess I have the upcoming Bandai Star Destroyer on my mind (can't wait for that!) I thought someone had news about it.
  14. wm cheng
    Do you mean SD = Star Destroyer? What Star Destroyer, is there a decent model kit of it?
  15. wm cheng
    Where did you buy it so that the box says "Starblazers 2199" Is it a sticker over the Yamato 2199 logo or did they actually print a different box for the NA export?
  16. wm cheng
    The 1/3000 SDF-1 is the best thing to come out of Yamato (IMHO) with the VF-4 a close second. The detail on it was just incredible.
  17. wm cheng
    Ah, I never noticed, but now that you mention it, I can see that difference. Very cool, now I gotta get back to my GX-64 toy and see if I can easily paint that in - argh.
  18. wm cheng
    So what's the consensus on the deck colour, I didn't know it was "wood" planks in space?!
  19. wm cheng
    My favourite mode as well! Beautiful!!!
  20. wm cheng
    Wow, the detail on this 1/500 is amazing! I wished my old 1/350 was as detailed as this.
  21. wm cheng
    So beautiful... brings a tear to my eyes. So lucky that you have your VF-25S (so envious that you can call it quits!). It really does complete the set. That's what I'm waiting for, I never got my own pre-order but I hope that wonderful kind soul technoblue who offered me one of his from HLJ comes through... then I can call it quits too and be done with the Bandai shenanigans.
  22. wm cheng
    Beautiful MJ... couldn't of done it better myself

    Thanks for all the Kudos! I have a sticky up in the workshop thread; http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=691 It's also in my sig at the bottom of my post that I try to update in one place with all my threads - the initial SDF-1 build up thread is in there as well as all these recent Gallery pictures. Some of the earlier threads are gone or partially restored due to the various site outages, but the more recent stuff should be intact. I'm very glad this project is finally over, I get kind of obsessed when I'm in it to finish, and my schedule doesn't really allow for much modeling time anymore, so I'm very grateful to finish this one finally.

    Finally got around to my other jewel of my collection, Yamato's 1/3000 SDF-1 DYRL. I finished some time ago, but I hadn't had the chance to photograph it. It took me literally months to put on the hundreds of tiny decals to give this monster the scale it deserves (I don't think I'll do that again for the upcoming 1/4000 Hasegawa version ) Hope you enjoy... For those of you who forgot my ordeal... here's the original build-up thread: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=34450&page=1
