Both GI JOE movies were beyond awful, the second one more so than the first. Give me the animated movie anyday!
-
That's a beautiful sight right there...absolutely wonderful.

Bandai reissue 1/72nd regult with Mods/using as 1/100 which is what it
Boss replied to mslz22's topic in The Workshop!
So damn impressive. -
As much as it sickens me to give HG any cash, a mate and I just went halves in this. As a miniature painter I can no longer resist! Expect some painted Zentradi mecha in a month or two
-
I hear you brother, I hear you.

Cheers one and all. Believe it or not I actually gave it a big dusting a little while before taking these pics, that gives you an indication of how bad it was before! Thanks for that advice though, I may just do that. On getting the two sections of the ship to fit, there was actually a horrible accident when putting the two bits together again ( I think I had them separated for some reason)...anyway I had had a lot to drink and I used too much force and the front section went up under the back a little and snapped one of the antennae- you'll notice it's a little messy on one of them where I glued it back Also a flatmate broke one of the two antennae on the back off and didn't say anything about it or retrieve the part- I had to make a crude replacement out of a toothpick

I built and painted this about 5 years ago now (and only just finished the Macross), I know these models are regarded as pretty horrible but I'm rather fond of this one and a sucker for all things Zentreadi really. The little SDF could probably use a watered down black wash and a re-application of the grey as it looks a bit simplistic (though it's not so bad in the flesh) I refrained from using any of the transfers as I didn't see any of those markings in the series

Awesome work guys! ( always great to see a Regult) Really loving the statuettes and the MOSPEADA diorama derex.
-
Thanks for that
-
So that's what Rick Hunter drives now, eh?
-
Thank you sir. I realised where I went wrong with the arms, I hadn't glued the O rings they fit into (because I thought it would limit their movement-turns out the opposite was true) Much better now, here she is with a Toynami 1:100 and a rear view
-
Thanks for the kind words on the Glaug, people- I got it done quick but on the other hand it had been languishing unbuilt for years. Dobber, that Yamato is just incredible...
-
That's fantastic
-
Did the Glaug ever make it out? Since the last picture of it was posted in 2012, I'm assuming no
-
Besides a 1:20000 scale ARII Queadol-Magdomilla and walking Minmay doll, this is my first attempt at a "proper" model kit. It's more than a bit rough in a few places ( and there was a mix up with the arms) but overall I'm pretty happy. I'm a seasoned 28mm miniature painter but big kits are a new area for me. I used Citadel Paints ( Eshin Grey, Administratum Grey, Mechrite Red and Evil Sunz Scarlet) and think they did the job nicely.

I'm not going to win modeller of the year with her, but here she is. Unfortunately (my one big mistake) in a moment of doubt while assembling I managed to mix the arms up, so the model's arms hang floppily at it's side. There are also a few unsightly gaps (and a couple of sprue notches that I hadn't anticipated being visible) in places that I will do my best to cover up, and I decided not to use all of the transfers as the yellow stripes were just falling apart and making me un-necessarily angry! I am pleased to report that I had no problems with the quality of the plastic when attaching the arms though. I'm a seasoned 28mm miniature painter but a kit of this size was something new for me, I painted the kit with Citadel paints and I think they fit the bill nicely.
-
Pardon my ignorance, but what scale are these two (Valkyries) in? Also any other info/opinions on them? I've done a lot of searching and I can't find any in this type of packaging around- I bought them very cheap off Ebay a few years ago now.
-
Thanks for that, it is duly noted! I'm next to an absolute novice when it comes to building large models too, so I need all the help I can get
-
I have just started this Bandai 1:100 Glaug
-
In the 80's I used to have a fair few of the ARII model kits which I built, never painted and eventually snapped all the head lasers etc off and then threw out. Also in 93 or so (?) K-Mart here in Australia had what I can only assume was reissued Matchbox "YouKnowWhat" toys for an absolute pittance and I picked up what worthwhile stuff they had- Battle Pod and pilot figure, an "Officer's Pod", the Tomohawk Destroid, the two Nousjadeul-Gers, and the small SDF in the humanoid configuration...anyways, it all got thrown out a few years later, along with the Matchbox Shock Trooper and large Zentreadi figures I had.
-
It does indeed "walk", though not particularly well. I've not seen that ad before jvmacross, thanks!
-
Hodgepodge, and very humble

Greetings all, longtime SDF Macross/DYRL fan here and I thought this might be a nice post to introduce with. I have a small but nice collection and this is one of my more beloved pieces, I painted her with Citadel paints
