Ditto! I've looked at all the usual places and cannot find any updates still. I'm hoping this has not died. You know, they can still release these in time for Christmas! - MT
Ron - you really did "finish off" that kit - but good! Did you feel better after making all those holes in it Nice affect and more original! You do need some forest animals, some bird poop, ivy. That would look very original. Kinda like the robots laying around in "Castle in the Sky." - MT
Superb work on the hand tiger striping. I also like the various tiger meet paint jobs. The weapons and evaluations equipment is very believable (besides the whole giant transforming airplane thing). Awesome job over all. - MT
I just saw this - Awesome build up. Your model looks great with the clear canopy too.
Valks look good in almost any media. Hmmm, old beer bottles and some concrete??? - MT
Wow! It's been about eight months! Has anyone heard any news on the 3rd box set yet!? I'm afraid they may drop it and it's probably one of the coolest sets yet! - MT
I guess you can just call me a hoarder - PERIOD I haven't sold any of my kits at all. I collect for doing projects (like the Daedalus) and then build them when I get a chance. I usually give away any kits that I don't get to building (ONLY non-Macross kits).
I think one of the awesome things about America is the freedom/ability to do what you like with your property. If you want to trade your Yellow Sub 1/48 Perfect Detail Valkyrie for a house, and you find some sucker to trade you for it, that's just fine. Free commerce and competition is what makes a better product. - MT
Like Iphinome said. Try looking at Hobby Link Japan for Kotobukiya, Fujimi, and Yellow Submarine joints. They make them in all different shapes/functions. That's what they were designed for - scratchbuilding. Hope that helps. - MT
I'm glad to see your back on it after a slight break. Out of your numbered list of improvements, I think you need a #8: Optional Garage to put said model in I'm glad to see the posts. Keep 'em coming! - MT
1/60th figures AND the ominous vending machine! That away to make everyone over in Asia jealous - FINALLY! I was wondering when you were going to do that! - MT
Nice creativity! I built a 1/72nd Bandai valk similar to that. Just one shoulder cannon though. You can never have enough armament in space - where no one can hear you scream - MT
Good news! Everything of mine arrived the thousands of miles safely here and we're in a BRAND NEW HOUSE thank God! The bad news, it's so new, there won't be any communications cables to my house for the next couple of weeks to a month! I'll be working on it though in the mean time! Take care everyone! - MT
I scratch built one in 1/100 and YES, this thing will be BIG! The 1/160 kit will not touch this size wise. I love the detail and posability if these proto pictures say anything! It's on my wich list too-always have a spare (even though I build 1/200 mostly). - MT
If you don't follow through and put these wonderful sculpts into production, you're going to make a lot of people upset! On the other hand, if you follow through (unlike others in the past), you'll make lot's of new friends! - MT
