    Ah, thanks for clearing up. I just had a little heart attack that I missed one. Love these books!
  2. wm cheng
    Was there a VF-11 Master File book out that I missed? I thought I got all of them?! Is it still available? When did it come out?
  3. wm cheng
    Is there any site with a plot/film synopsis for those of us who don't speak Japanese and is trying to remain calm waiting for a subtitle file to come out?
  4. wm cheng
    Anything better than a 720mkv rip in 2ch stereo only? Perhaps a 1080p AC3 5.1? I guess there's no english subtitles on the BR-DVD though eh? $70cdn for a Japanese only BR is just too much at this time.

    No, No, No... definitely not. Most decals are spot colour printed - meaning that they have solid colours representing the true colours that the design intends to be. Well, most reputable companies like Hasegawa, Tamiya or Cartograph. Screen printing whereby using a limited pallet of colours in dots/screening to simulate other colours is just a cheap way to give you the likeness of other colours without the true expense of paying for those inks to be printed. It's the difference between a photographic coffee table book and a colour photo in a newspaper! It just underscores to me that Bandai doesn't really pay that much attention to Macross models - if you look that closely, a whole world of problems open up! Just my humble opinion ;-) Did I mention how much I hate their MF decals?!

    So did anyone get the released BR-DVD? Did it have english subtitles? That's the main thing holding me back from ordering it.
  7. wm cheng
    ME TOO! Woohoo!! Now just to find the time to work on it... ;-(

    You'd think they'd give some credit eh? At the very least, offer up some of these add-on items to early adopters!
  9. wm cheng
    Well, if anyone doesn't want or intend to use the PE parts (they might be too small and bad for your eyes!) ;-) - you've got someone (ME!) more than happy to take it off your hands! Keep me in mind.
  10. wm cheng
    Any further news about whether any of these upgrade parts/decals will be available separately to previous owners of the assembled toy?

    Anybody in Toronto interested in buying a second copy of the book from me? I had pre-ordered it from HLJ, then for some reason my pre-order didn't go through, then I added it again to another order I had coming - now it's been added twice to my order. They'll refund it if I ship it back, but not the shipping charges - argh! The order is shipping, so it'll take a few weeks I assume, its SAL. So if there's anyone locally in Toronto, I'd like to sell it for what I paid. Let me know.

    Hmm, better, but still too bubbly and not sleek enough. I was kind of hoping for some VF-1 revits. Although that didn't stop me from pre-ordering two though ;-) I just love the old style grey with white moveable surfaces scheme.

    A question, I just got Killzone 3 - not being familiar with it's setup, when I start it, it just hangs at the Select Language screen (I can't select any language and press X to go on - although the PS3 hasn't hung as I can quit out of the game properly). Is it trying to access the PSN waiting for some authorization or something? Naturally I can't sign onto PSN at the moment (due to the service outage). Or is this unrelated to the PSN outage and is indicative of something wrong with my PS3?

    Ahhh... that brings back memories! Shaorin, you must the around the same age as I (too old!). I have a box of that stuff too, loved the gold labels - I remember I taped DYRL onto that and I "letraset"ed the label information onto it and even added a clear coat to protect the letraset from rubbing off!! Man I had time when I was in high-school. ;-) What you need for the Macrovision is a Sima Color Corrector - its an analogue video enhancement device that's side-effect (after the recombination of the color channels) is that it strips off all Macrovision protection schemes. I had the "super" JVC VHS too - but it was slightly later model with the jog shuttle dail - I think its still packed away in my basement somewhere. Man, they sure don't make components like they used to. I still have a bunch of these amazing Sony Super Beta tapes - can't remember... HX-Pro ESX Gold or HiFi something, that had these great cases. All the crap we used to spend money on eh?! I'd always double my anime onto the best VHS tape and SuperBeta tape possible!
  15. wm cheng
    YES PLEASE!
  16. wm cheng
    Any indications that any of this extra stuff (glow stickers, decals or PE parts) will be offered separately to those of us who were early adopters?
  17. wm cheng
    At the rate I'm going now, I need a new basement to store all of these kits, or a second retirement to get enough time...
  18. wm cheng
    So will they be offering the PE parts or decals as an optional purchase for early-adopters who already purchased their built toy? or is everything a web-exclusive thing?
  19. wm cheng
    WoW! Kye Kye... truely spectacular!! I go away on March Break vacation for a few days and you go ahead and finish this monster - way too go! It looks amazing. I gotta find the time to finish mine up. You should be proud. Keep em' coming - I can live vicariously through your builds ;-)
  20. wm cheng
    Woohoo!!! I've been waiting for this for so long. This is a must build, hopefully be able to tear me away from my daughter for a few months ;-) So happy that they are continuing their 1/72 line too!
  21. wm cheng
    Where did you order those decals? Name, Manufacturer? HLJ?
  22. wm cheng
    WOW! Simply stunning... all your hard work and effort really, really paid off. It looks simply amazing. I know its a long process, but its totally worth it and you've raised the bar that I hope to get close to - damn you! I guess I can't just slap a few layers of paint and call it a day! Truely inspirational, now my finished SDF-1 seems that much farther away ;-) What is this micro decal sheet you speak off? They look great, I would think any decals would not be scale appropriate, but you're look really good together. Congrats, can't wait to see it all together!
  23. wm cheng
    Wow! KyeKye, simply amazing... keep up the great work. Don't rush it, its a masterpiece - it would be a shame to rush and have to go back a few steps to corrected it (been there, done that!). Love the red details around the chest nozzles, I was contemplating that since its in so much of the colour references, but I was worried it would be too much for the toy, but your dark red looks great! The city looks fantastic too! Way to go on the lighting!!
  24. wm cheng
    Wow! Fantastic work cool8or!! How could I have missed your step-by-step thread. Really love the subtle colourations & weathing within the green and solid areas of the colour scheme - beautifully finished. Loved the cockpit display screen BTW! Congrats on a beautiful piece to add to your collection.
  25. wm cheng
    Thanks Prime, yes, I got it from HMV for the same price and shipping too. Much better than Amazon.jp and have pre-ordered everything from now on from HLJ to avoid missing out again ;-)
