Welcome back!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Show us the photos!! Obviously BigF has passed out at his keyboard again. LOL

You wanna' see some badass jets? Check this out: http://www.faster.de/search/label/aircrafts Crap. They took it down. Too many hits... Grrr.... Try this: http://www.skymasterjet.com/ Not the same but a jet any way.

I hope I'm not reading too much into Silver's post. I trust baby girl is happy and healthy! I have a wife and two kids of my own... I know how it can be. Don't worry--it gets worse. Now where is that Kanata clown...? I need parts. Must...have...parts...

Where did these guys run off to? I'm especially concerned about Kanata as he was my prime supplier of spare parts. I have a Valk at 80% that needs a few things to fill in the blanks... EEEEK. Silver just has a lot of my money. *grumble* *grumble*

Are they not too large for the '55?

Nice, huh? Just do my slider-free wrist mod then use a nail and melt a hole through the base plate and the fist. Insert the nail through the hole in the base plate and glue it into the fist. Voila. Swivels *and* you can reverse it to hide the fist without sliders. I am going to try to put ALL my mods into this Valk. It's going to be tough but I think I can pull it off. I finally broke down and decided to build a Max "A" because frankly that's the one Valk that Bandai and Yamato SHOULD make and won't/didn't/don't.

I made it where his fist can twist at the wrist... In progress. Initial build stage.

Do those Gundam hands work on 1/55s? Anyone have any flexible ones they would suggest to replace these fists with?

BigF.... HELLO?????????????????????????????????? Got any pics of this thing?

Wakeup F!

Any pics?

Has anyone taken this little notch out of the inside of a Bandai 1/55 arm to allow it to move closer to the body? I am trying to recreate the Max "A" pose and the arm doesn't reach the gunpod as the bevel in the upper arm keeps it from reaching the gunpod.

Awesome job!

I disagree here. There is no requirement for them to contain FUEL, only reaction mass. This could be water or anything else you can think of that can be expelled. I define them as FAAST Packs. Fuel Armor Armament System Tactical. Though fuel is somewhat a misnomer.

My vote woulda' been for the F-14D, too. The engines, as I recall, were definitely NOT TF-30s in the artwork.

Is the screen shot he posted from the remastered Macross DVD? It looks brighter than mine.

That was a good pose, too.

Oh...my...goodness. THANK YOU!! Quick response! Is that from the remastered Macross DVD? Check out the color difference between yours and mine. WOW! My next custom is going to be a Max "A" and I was wondering if I could get it to stand in that pose... Hmmmm..... Gonna be hard with a 1/55... Max_VF_1A_Battloid_Takes_Aim.bmp

I have the first three episodes of Macross Zero. If I could find the rest I can place them on a dedicated server for everyone... I am having NO LUCK at *ALL* finding the episodes after #3. Any thoughts on how to help an idiot find the rest? Many thanks.

Anyone have a copy of the shot where Max aims his VF-1A's gunpod at Milia's Quadrono? It is the shot I am now using as my avatar. I would love for a large screenshot of this if anyone happens to have it. Many many thanks.

TV Max "J" is the absolute best. VF-0A is the absolute WORST.

Has anyone managed to recast the Stiletto Missiles (MMS-1 ??? I forget the proper Macross nomenclature) in 1/55 scale? Perhaps even with racks? I have some 1/72 Hase Weapons Kit versions but they're too small for the Bandai. Even some in 1/60 would be closer to accurate.

Glad to see the forums back up!!! WOW! I was having some major withdrawal issues.

That is the true curse of the 1/55 right there!!!!! Or you do like I do and have 6 of them at various stages of completion from 80%-95% and none finished. I am definitely going to finish the Harriska gray "J" this week. I have to. Otherwise it's just one more thing left undone. I really made it look like a beat up POS. The sad thing is that it looks like I did it on accident instead of on purpose... But it looks just like a Hornet picture I have so I know I did it right. Oh well...
