What is he reading off of the inside of his air brake? Very nice work... Carl

1729 And I usually suck at these things. Carl P.S. Just got 1961ft.

WOW!!! Very cool stuff. How'd I miss this the first time it was posted. I wish he would have done the Legioss and Tread too. Carl

Kewl!!!! I need to check this thread more often. I'm just now seeing this post and it's been up two weeks already. Boy... am I getting slow. Thanks for the updates Ken, Carl

A few other pieces of info I can add... D'Stance's homepage has some nice pictures. They are here: http://park1.wakwak.com/~jasshy/yf21.html And I was able to get Noel to photo copy the directions of the one he sold on eBay. Scans of those directions have been posted here: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=92 Enjoy, Carl

To the best of my knowledge this D'Stance was only sold at one WF. Noel was there and he was actually able to get one, but he put it up on eBay before I was able to get to him. He had pictures of it in one of his reports that were listed here: http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/blacka...n_blackaces.htm If those links worked it would tell you which event it was availabe at. At the moment I don't remember. My guess would be Winter 2003. Also D'Stance developed the fast pack parts for this kit AFTER the one event the kit was available at. To my knowledge the fast pack parts have never been for sale to the public. D'Stance hasn't been at the last several WF events and I'm not sure if they ever plan of offering this kit (with ot without the fast pack parts) again. If I'm correct in the above that would put a limit I think of 10 of these kits without the fast packs being in circulation. Noel's eBay auction (which I never should have let get past me) was the only time I've ever seen this kit re-sold. I've never seen it on Yahoo Japan. Noel, if you see this are there any plans to get your past reports back on-line again? Carl

Congrats Egan! You've got a great site there. Here is to 10 more years... Carl

Kewl... thanks. More modes to play with. As to the guestion where did I find find this. Well I spotted it being talked about here: http://www.tron-sector.com/forums/default....o=top&id=311393 In fact it was posted by someone that's got something in common with Graham. I didn't really go looking for it. Carl

Don't you think the skull egg should have a tank mode too? Carl

Check this out. It's the oddest thing I've seen in a while. http://www.digitpress.com/media/iloveegg.swf Enjoy... (maybe that's the wrong word), Carl

I'm not sure what to say about Mr. Hanky but that girl has a stem coming out of the top of her head. I guess she grew on that plant behind her like to two other little girls. Very very odd... The things that make you go "Hmmmm....." Carl

Certainly similiar is some regards I'm sure. As I don't have the completed 10 piece limited version and my one like the one on eBay isn't assembled it'd be hard for me to give a list of differences but I'm sure there are many. The obvious one is that one is moldeled in color and comes assembeled (well sort of) and the other doesn't. But I believe their newest one is also redesigned in many of the finer details as well. Carl

I think that was Liquid Stone's intent actually. I'm guessing they were hoping this kit would follow the same path their VB-6 kit did. I'm still hoping it does but I'm not going to hold my breath. Carl

You are welcome. And yes, it's been discussed quite a bit. However till now I don't think it's been mentioned that it came with the fast pack parts. I wonder why Liquid Stone doesn't have any pictures with the fast pack parts on their site. Carl

Here is a picture that might help with the scale: There are more pictures here: http://homepage3.nifty.com/rs-labo/yf19f.html Like this one: that address some of the posability questions. Enjoy, Carl

It's a pre assembled resin kit. Liquid Stone made a VB-6 resin kit that Yamato later turned into a toy so many are hoping history repeats itself with this YF-19 but at this stage I don't think anyone knows if that's likely to happen or not. If they do they aren't talking. Looking at the kit I certainly believe Liquid Stone's intention was to make something Yamato would pick up on and turn into a toy but I don't know how much weight they carry in making that decision. We certainly can all hope... Carl

I believe the answer is 10. Carl

The web site hosting the pictures is *my* website. The wwwmwww should have given that away. I'm not using it for all I want to use it for yet so there isn't that much there to find yet. The owner emailed me those pictures. It was just an easy way for me to post the pictures here. Carl

I've posted all the pictures I currently have. If I get more I'll be sure to post them. In fact the owner will probably see this thread. I'll let him know that he can email his responses to me to post for him if he'd like to respond to questions posted here. If he does so or not I'll leave that up to him. I'm just very greatful he's been willing to share pictures. Carl

He got this off Yahoo Japan and I'm sure he would have been happy to pay alot less then he did. The auction was talked about elsewhere on this site so that probably answers your question. Carl

One last one... Carl

More... Enjoy, Carl

This isn't mine (I wish I had one) but I've been given the go ahead to post these pictures. The owner of this got it still sealed in its original box. It was in a few pieces when he opened it but even in pieces this is one impressive kit. Note it even comes with fast pack parts. Enjoy, Carl

As others have said those are the Corydoras kits. You are looking at kits #3 and #4 in their Macross series. I believe there are atleast 12 in the series. I think I have one or two of them and I've seen pictures of a few of the others. I don't think I have a complete list of them though. Here are the 4 kits they had at the 1998 Winter Wonder Festival. http://www2u.biglobe.ne.jp/%7Emaps/won98w/corydo.htm I'm pretty sure one of the others is a VT-1. As far as I know their VF-3000 is the only VF-3000 out there. Carl

I'm not expecting him (or her) to make directions with one of the CAD programs out there. Simple build up photos would be great. If this one still exists and he's willing to sell the model itself I'm also interested in that. If I had it I think I could make directions that would be followable atleast if not professional quality. It's just that before any questions can be asked contact needs to be made. I've already PMed Torokun. Sounds like he might have that covered. That last thing I want to do is flood the guys inbox with emails. Carl
