I just panel line on the plastic as is. Have had great luck using Reaper paints black wash. Cleanup is very easy with a folded paper towel and some rubbing alcohol (just don't touch any painted areas when wiping). When panel lining painted areas usually I use a microfiber cloth and rub off the excess wash as you really don't want to put rubbing alcohol on the painted areas.

You know what's sad is even if Bandai re-released the 25S peeps would still gladly pay even 100 bucks prem on the 25S from NY because it beats the @ss-r*** prices we have right now. On a side note, finally got to panel-lining one of my Alto F reissues from last year. Hard to believe I left it sealed for 11 months before opening it. Just need Tornado packs now On a side note, imagine if Bandai Trolled everyone and re-released the VF-25S w Armored Pack, but the itasha version

Updated my Display shelf >;D Tried to fit almost every valk I own into one wall display Saving a spot for the YF-25's coming out this month The row of VF-171's. The tiny 1/60 and 1/100 vf-1 collection No clue how I'm gonna re-arrange everything to fit the YF-30 and Luca VF-171 (O_o)
-
If there's an option pack If they include the same underwing stores as the VF-171 I'd be pretty pissed since I already have a bunch of underwing stores leftover from all my 171 armor packs :0
-
Lol at Vader. Looks like some people are going to whip out paint brushes and some paint to get their green visors and orange shoulder plates.
-
One of our members made replacement head lasers for the original 29, why not see if we can get him (kurisama) to make Ozzy ones. I would buy spare shapeways sets just to add some variety to my 29's
-
Honestly...not digging the blue crotch in battroid. Luckily I have a 3 VF-25F crotch plates not in use and I'll just swap those onto my YF-25's. Anyone that has a super / armored 25F can do the same.
-
Opening up the valks and adding a layer of nail polish did the trick for any loose 25 / 29 hips.

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

I think I'm done with Ozzy unless they release tornado pack for him O_O. Have a 4th in storage in case that happens. (if it never is released I'll display him in fighter with my extra armored pack set) If they released non-canon NUNS vf-25s'es like those seen in the VF-25 Master File I would prolly go crazy on those Hot damn.... that's a ton for the bare valk O_o The most expensive Ozzy I got was less than that and had Armored Pack (in 04/2013). The cheapest Ozzy I got was only 90 dollars, had a broken wing and no accessories. shown below. I rehabbed him into my Armored Ozzy batttroid display

Finally organized my vf-25 displays to make more sense :0
-
it only took forever for my fast packs to be shipped and to arrive O_o they look much nicer after a quick black wash and cleanup.
-
Yeesh they should at least transform it correctly by getting the lower torso in the right place and putting the boob guards down.
-
Honestly, while I'd like the Idea of a super duper crazy VF-1, I've had my share of VF-1's and want something new. Already have DYRL Skull Squadron in 1/48, 1/60 v2, and 1/100 hi-metal and don't like the idea of having to spend another 2G on ginormous valks that I wouldn't have space to display
-
All Three of my CDJ PO's are prepaid. Hopefully they prioritize the paypal peeps over the credit card peeps as it's easier to just not charge cards as opossed to doing PP refunds. Was kind of interesting they have a limit of 3 at CDJ as well O_o
-
Full Price doesn't really bother me. Pretty much Everything else pre-ordered from sites outside of 1999, hlj and amiami are full-priced and any other pre-order for other products like games / electronics are full-priced so I think discounts are the exception, not the norm.
-
Yeah something is not right. My 30th Anni 29's have no issue at all.
-
+1 Scalpers grab all of a toy and sell it right at release for a huge markup. I think 2.5 years in the aftermarket is well enough time for this to no longer be called scalper prices and just regular aftermarket prices. Without any official statement regarding a re-issue The Ozzy 25S will continue to command a premium. People have a right to do whatever they want with their cash and if they are ok with paying a price that may seem outrageous to others that's totally fine because that's how the market works.
-
It feels as if there's been a shift in desire for the other YF-29's. Right after ozzy came out there's a huge glut of Alto and 30th anni 29's on Mandarake. I guess Japanese peeps that only had enough room to display one chose Ozzy
-
I'm going to change the accents to grey on one or more. The Luca-green also is looking like a nice option if I can find the right color mix for it.
-
YF-30 with Registered SAL on CD japan is only 217 dollars, which is pretty good. Including the 2 I have at NY I'll be looking at 5 YF-30s O_o
-
Wow... Buyee is even cheaper than My "proxy" who demands a shipment craft beer for every shipment I get from Japan :0
-
Weirdly, not a single NUNS triangle is broken. For the lower triangles, two CF's have tiny cracks in one of their lower triangle covers. Those were filled with super glue, then sanded and smoothed. I always take the whole shoulder pad off before I transform, but now that I have this many I never need to transform them lol. Only defect is 1 CF had a leg joint die at the gerwalk twist joint above the knee which pretty much killed gerwalk for that unit. Now i stays in fighter :0 Oh.. broken wallet too As for the Alto's 0 issues whatsoever and they are what the CF's shoulda been. I just hope the Luca is to the Alto standards.

Considering how the Bandai VF-1 turned out I'm weary of any Plamo VF-30 if it comes from Bandai O_O Their VF-25 was a way better effort than their VF-1 weirdly enough
-
So torn on how many to preorder... as somebody else mentioned I'm a huge VF-171 fan O_o
