Actually, the outside lol. So easy to do. You don't even have to remove it from the valk. There is a stubborn bit in the front inside windshield, use a Q-tip to clean that nook out/ Gonna keep it clear until I get some blue food coloring to add to some future floor polish
-
Took the front fins off, masked the black and the dark grey on the sides of the cockpit (to protect teh tampo) before stealing some of my GF's cotton pads and whipping out the rubbing alcohol. NO sanding required, just rub....a lot...lol

Ozzy + Rubbing Alcohol = Profit

what just blows my mind the most about the lerx mismatch is that we know bandai had the color matched shade of grey paint for all the diecast parts of this valk yet they couldn't use that same paint on the plastic lerxes...
-
Bandai valks have no sticker sheets. What you see is what you get
-
The lerx light grey is painted over black. No clue why it's not a matching dark grey.....

Looks like HLJ decided to ship via EMS despite me picking SAL... gonna get my Ozzies today :0 Now i need to work on un-blueing the canopy... that's the only thing that bothers me. If they had kept the blue to the same level as the vf-25A's, which is just a very subtle blue, that would have been ideal. Also, looks like Ozzies are really HTF. This is why everyone goes crazy over pre-orders because the popularity of a macross item is a real crapshoot for Bandai post release it looks. *Edit* walked downstairs and GF got my ozzy from the front desk when she was bringing back the laundry Cockpit is still really blue, but not opaque as other pics may have shown. prolly was the flash There's a tiny bit more Tampo. Notice the grey warning behind the canopy and the emergency rescue markings below the lerx This ozzy is way darker than the 25S If anyone wondered how it looks with 30th anni fastpacks Battroid head is awesome. Be careful with the antennae, they come as hard ABS Stock, so no bendy bendy. Comparison with 25S Ozzie. You'll notice his head is a lot smaller than the 25S

Amazing that HLJ can deliver the ozzies via EMS at USD 181.44 shipped
-
My Ozzies from HLJ haven't shipped yet, and I don't really care because they're shipping via SAL As for super packs... dude it's like 35 bucks before shipping. Just buy them to be safe now instead of regretting later if you change your mind (Alto packs anyone?)

Glad I'm getting Three of These

I will not confirm, nor deny, the truthy-ness of that statement. -
Actually, you know what? I don't hate Bandai. I hate myself. Because I allow myself to get reamed by Bandai on a monthly basis with their preorders. As horrible as Bandai's preorder practices are, I just accept them and bend over at 3 AM, pressing F5 like Mad like some crazed and abused crack junky looking for the next hit. It's not Bandai, It's me. I hate myself. Signed : Pretty much everyone collecting Macross Frontier at Macross world

When in doubt some super glue with a very fine-tip applicator. I always cheated and sometimes even used clear paint to put on PE parts to plastic, but i've never attempted an all PE model like this potential nightmare of a project

Yeesh since when did the 25G's get so expensive? they cost more than 25'ses at times.... http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-1045621.html

My friend in Japan told me about a 25S at Mandarake that had just been sold by a collector. It hadn't even been listed yet and while the toy was totally mint the box had a ding on one of the corners causing a markdown. Paypaled him 22,000 yen instantly and he gave it to my gf who delivered it today when she flew over (Of course I was happy to see her too but I got a chance to photograph this while she was in the bath) debating if I should panel-line it or not as I already have other 25S'es :0 -
Thanks, though I'm nowhere near as ambitious as Physioguy, he made the YF-24 O_O I got my 25A sets in yesterday, I like
-
Getting any paint to stick on the VF-25 is really tough. Even with primer and clear coat a lot of parts are gonna get scratched during transformation and the original colors will show through. We have seen a few easy mods like a simple line recoloring. I modded one of my altos to be grey :0

Gerwalk for life! ;p

NY doesn't charge up front unless you choose to pay up front There's a pay-later button below the paypal button when you're making an order *also, if you have to pay and have to use credit for some reason, if you put your order in USD you can use *bill me later* via paypal if you qualify. NO Interest 6 months on orders over 99 USD

Screw speculating, I just picked up a 4th 25S for only ¥22000 through one of my friends in Japan, and my g/f will bring it over for me next week when she comes over to NYC (Shipping only costed 1100 dollars for the plane ticket......) If only they'd release an ozzy tornado pack :0 Maybe I'll display it naked in gerwalk next to these suckers ;p

Dude... the Magnetizer is one of the best lego sets ever made, hands down. I still have the one I got waaaay back in 4th grade lol
-
THIS!! I have spent far too long looking for a little flight stick that went flying on the floor. Thank god I didn't have Carpet.
-
Meh... They should release it in Low Viz Grey and some weathering. The grey low viz 1A is still the best valk ever released by Yamato Imho
-
The out of control Prices of the 1/24's made me happy to stick with my 1/35's. Luckily I got two of the 1/35 command car kits to boot :0

Nope Nope Nope. the extent of my photo etch experience is tacking on pre-printed eduards panels together and making cockpits look dope. Wouldn't touch this with a 10-ft pole unless I really hated myself
