Yeah. Better stand, same adapter. It is a little flimsy still so I agree I wouldn't use it for anything but a flat flight pose. I'd offer to post my adapter, but you know... Australia lol. I think the best option is to see if anyone can do a cast of the mounting slot and surrounding area with a material that has very small (if any) shrinkage. That way you can make a adapter that fits a little more snug. Even some precise measurements could work well enough for you to CAD it. I'm moving soon so mine is boxed up, but I'm sure someone could send you through some specs at least.

How did I miss that? I literally searched for b-club stuff the other day (on yahoo and mandarake)???? Thank you! ... now where do I get the money... Edit: so turns out I really need to learn to search Mandarake in katakana! B-club macross yields nothing and neither does feff or gigamesh but ギガメッシュ (gi ga me -shyu) go right there! no wonder I couldn't find it! I'm pretty ok with reading katakana too, so it would good practice! -
When I went to Japan, Bariaburu Faita and Hebime took me and my wife shopping in den den town and Bariaburu even saved us when we missed the shipping depot (just closed!) and had to find a post office before we could catch our flight! Arms full of boxes we walked all around Osaka to find a post office that was open (it was 6:30 and we had to be at the airport at 9!). When we asked what we could do for him to repay his kindness, he said "just do the same if anyone from Macross World comes to the Gold Coast". And we will! If anyone is visiting Brisbane or the Gold Coast, hit me up and we can show you around!

Gold Coast And I'd alarm that too! There is a fortune in there!

OMG where did you get that Feff!!! I've been after that for years! That's my holy grail of resin! edit: (just read, got to excited and didn't actually read you post lol) that makes me cry, cause I just searched yahoo the other day. good score -
Haha I though so too after seeing those test match boxes. I was already planning the heist, but Sydney's to far. So it's safe... for now...

Yeah wmkjr, similar. The resin I have is for jewelery and it gives a good smooth clear finish, should invisibly fill the gaps if there is a little slack. It does however get plastic meltingly hot haha. So it depends on how much the acrylic can take. I was hoping you'd maybe tried it before but that's fine, I can can get some to experiment on before using it on a stand. I read back over some of the pages I missed and people seem to be getting perfect results from plastic welding solvents. Maybe that's the best plan if they fit sung enough.

Hey ChaoticYeti, do you happen to have any update on whether or no you will be able to do the clear stand feet? It will be a while till I can afford them but I really hope that you will be able to find a manufacturer(/you) that can cut precisely enough. If not how would the acrylic handle the heat from a clear polyester resin? because that might be a solution for me as long as it can take a good amount of heat. Never tried it with acrylic before though. Edit: a couple of people seem to have some pics with the clear feet in (like above) and they seem to be holding fine, do some clear feet sit right do they?

This was bought a while back for an insanely good price, but it was for my birthday so I only just got to see it. It was mint and sealed so I debated long and hard whether or not to open it... opening it won! So behold, my very own VB-6 SP! And it... Is.. GLORIOUS! (sorry for so picture overload, but you know... this IS the "show off your awesome new toy" thread! haha) -

You sir, are a true gentleman. -
Well actually 4! +1 for Australia

Great price Yeti! Cant afford it yet but when my house is built and I set up my display (around Christmas) I hope you will still be making them! I'll be chipping in a little extra though! You clearly (pun not intended) deserve it!
