What are you referring to? Did you make custom waterslide decals?
-
Paid 5,400Y for EMS from NY and it just got shipped today... NOT A HAPPY CAMPER! No waterslide decals or grey chest markings... this just gets worst and worst... It better be one hell of a toy! No one with aftermarket waterslide decals yet? I wished Anastazi still made his amazing decals... sigh.

You know April Fools ends at noon right?!

Thanks Falcon18 - I am really bummed out about the lack of waterslide decals. I really hope someone steps up to the plate to make some (I have laser printed my own in the past, but I just can't do the white letters on clear carrier film for the pilot - it generally works on a light background, but not on the black portions). Do the landing gears look a little short and stubby or is it just me?
-
There isn't a 2nd sheet of waterslide decals?... I'm bummed about that too! Damn right! I just got a "Preparation in Progress" e-mail update from NY...
-
I don't think so, the Live Action Movie Yamato is quite different (I'd jump at a model of that version!) http://www.gunjap.net/site/?p=68932

I remember building that back in high school... boy it brings back memories!
-
Woohoo!!! That gives me hope. Thanks EXO. Please if someone can actually confirm this, it would make my day! I'll probably find out next week, but its so nice, I haven't been so excited about a new toy in ages...
-
O-Oh, just a sticker sheet (I don't see any waterslide decals) and what's with the silver paint for a light, for $400 I'd thought we'd get a clear lens.
-
$300-$350cdn is great! How did you get those prices?! I've paid $394cdn shipped - luckily I went through NY so no customs or duties, but expect another $60 in duties if you didn't go though NY. Any confirmation on waterslide decals yet?

2 new Variable Fighter Master File books: VF-22 and VF-1 Squadrons
wm cheng replied to cool8or's topic in Collectors
When is the 2nd book VF-22 coming out? I've got my VF-1 sitting in the HLJ warehouse - I'm hoping to combine them to save on shipping... -
It was 5,400Y for EMS from Nippon Yasan!!! I think I got gouged... but at least I'm paying them instead of customs... which would be at least another $60
-
Wow! $400 for a Valk... and I thought the SDF-1 was expensive... I can't imagine it being better than the SDF-1?!
-
THANKS!!! I wonder if we will get waterslide decals as well or just stickers? I can only wish that all the ejection triangles, pilot and rescue arrows would be tampoed on... anyone with info about these markings?
-
Yes, I wished they included waterslide decals for those of us who want it. However I do like that they do Tampo all the other markings, the NO STEPS are a little garish though especially since they're in a serif font - WTF?
-
Wow!!! Simply breathtaking... beautiful paint job, congratulations on such a gorgeous build and thanks for sharing. Man, I always knew it was big compared to the VF-1, but seeing it next to that 1/48 really made me realize just HOW big.
-
Yeah, I get what you're saying, but even the new Hasegawa VF-25 looks weird... like a stilted chicken (each gear is nicely detailed in themselves, but taken together, it looks odd) - the gear struts just seem too long and make the aircraft sit way too high - the rear gear placement is really odd too, too far back and too short - that's a K design flaw I believe. Yeah, I totally agree with the "nostalgia for the old Takatoku-style bare gear" comment. I can't display any of my Macross Frontier toys with the gears down - they all have to be in flight!
-
Is it me (or maybe I'm just gettin' old) or is it that all the new generation of designs have really awkward landing gears? The older VF-0, VF-1, VF-4, YF-19, YF-22 all seem to have decent credible looking landing gears, but all the new stuff looks just stuck on and out-of-scale - just awkward. Maybe the metallic dark grey Bandai uses for the gear struct doesn't help things either.
-
I hope not! I have armors all weathered up and waiting for the naked bird...
-
Hey if you come out with those decals, I'd gladly buy them off of you for mine. Let me know when you're going to attempt that 1/350 Yamato - I'd love to see what you do with it, maybe it might inspire me to get off my ass about it ;-) Great job Jefuemon on those... (yeah, I never really had problems with the Macross Figures either - flight suits are easy, its those Yamato uniform markings that I wasn't happy with).
-
How did you paint that down arrow / boat anchor on the front of this shirt and the 3 bars on the shoulders?
-
You are just crazy!!! Amazing, how will you paint it? Does it come with decals? I can barely paint the 1/72 scale pilots from the Yamato 2199 fighters let alone imagine how to eventually paint those 1/350 scale Bandai Yamato crew. Perhaps I can send them over to you to paint for a fee?
-
Wow, I love the photoetched and additional details - can't wait to see what you do with them! But at 1/500 scale, you'd think they should have included these gimmicks at such a large scale already.
-
Hey, speak for yourself - I STILL NEED THE VF-25S Ozma for my armored pack. Come on, bring on the last of the reissues why don't ya?!!!
