  1. Sorry, didn't see your comment! But yeah, it works very well!
  2. I took a look at instructions for the kits here: https://macrossworld.com/macross/models/she/she_main.htm After taking a look, I think most of the joints from Wave that the instructions call for are the ball joint ones. I also found these videos here of the YF-19 Studio Halfeye being built: I also saw this video: It mentioned @ 2:30 "1.7 B joints"; I don't know if that gives you any further info, but apparently it would use 1.7 (mm I assume) ball joints. I hope these help you out, IronRaptor; meantime, I'll keep digging around to see what else I can find! -Pengbuzz
  3. I think it's actually brilliant; changing the hair as well as adding glasses can really alter how people perceive someone's face.
  4. Agree with everyone here; I was hard on this movie over how the outfit looked too much like a scuba suit as well as the actor "not fitting the role" in my mind. But seeing this trailer, while cautious, has some optimism growing in me on this one. Like Transformers One (I wasn't too keen on that one until I saw it!), I had a negative opinion on it. But being wrong about that one, and seeing this trailer, I think I'm going to give this the benefit of the doubt and not jump to conclusions (at least any further than I did! lol ). That they're using a rendition of the John Williams theme: that actually got my heart going! Been rewatching this trailer a few times just to hear their version!
  5. Well, at least you have a backup then if things go south with the included bubble. Personally, I kinda hate working with clear plastics.
  6. You could buy a clear plastic ball ornament (Hobby Lobby, Michaels and other places sell them) and use that to replace the clear ball on the kit.
  7. I might consider redoing the paintwork on my vf-1A and Defender Destroid after seeing these.
  8. Thanks! I learned a lot when I was designing my other ship, the Alpha Centauri. I wanted to make sure that whatever I did followed Gene Roddenberry's design rules for starships: https://www.ex-astris-scientia.org/articles/design.htm
  9. Looking good so far!! Just use caution on the decalling step; that one's been getting folks lately! O.o
  10. When it gets to $5.00, I might spring for it. Otherwise, I'm good.
  11. Like the head design and paint job!! Really stands out! I'd love to see a toy conversion to this!
  12. I also wonder what role RCS thrusters play in them flying in atmosphere? I would assume they take over for the missing horizontal stabilizers and whatnot in the animes.
  13. Thanks Sketchley! For the windows, I used a soldering iron (variable heat setting station) at about 859 degrees to burn the windows into the hull!. As for the dome on the top: the very smallest one is the top of the bridge, followed by the bridge itself. The forward windows on the somewhat squarish bulge are indeed a lounge. Maybe this will help:
