    I use DEK L's run by Derek Lee. Rates are quite reasonable if you have your art ready to go and he will create "whites" for you if you have yellow or white decals. The whites are a separate decal to go under the lighter colours to make them brighter. I really rate them as the decals are super thin as I have seen the carrier film disappear under a light coat of matt clear. The only thing you have to remember is that they are printed upside down, which can work in your favour as you don't have to slide the backing out from under the decals. Just place it face down and slide the backing off - simples! If you are interested derek can be contacted on: sales@dekls.com.au - Brett

    I always cut, file and sand wet. I use a sink or shallow tray and use raxor saws to cut off the large pour stubs, a bastard file to get close to the part and finish with jewelers files and wet and dry abrasive paper. That way all the nasty resin dust is trapped and you can't breath it in. Just use a bit of WD40 on your tools after so they don't rust. -Brett

    The kits will ship with decals for sure. A pilot will probably be available as an optional extra for those that want one. And if we go down the pre order path the pilot will likely be the bonus. Don't forget that Zentreadi infantry and officer figures are available from Mike Salzo, so drop him a pm if you are interested. -Brett

    Just like the title says. Would you buy a repop? Well you'll get your chance later this year but right now we are just gauging interest. Cheers, Brett

    This build is great! It has everything - lighting, moving bits and a great finish. Congrats dude -Brett

    1/72 sets are out! - Brett

    But that was Bandai. Wave's engineering is a little less... good.

    Yep and it breaks my heart to have to bail on this one. I just can't justify that sort of money when I can get a good looking VF-1 Gerwalk for a fraction of the cost elsewhere. I had been looking forward to getting this since it came out too. -Brett

    Mike are you eyeballing those engine bell rivets? Or is there some sort of indexing tool used? Either way the extra details look sharp! - Brett

    That Prime 1 VF-1J is ridiculous Woah that's gonna be a stretch
  11. Return To Kit Form
    I hope not! I think they will struggle to move a model kit (even one this awesome) for $1K. I am keen as mustard for this but I'm not throwing a thousand bucks at it.
  12. Return To Kit Form
    Well some are available already! BTW new artwork for the 72 scale version: - Brett

    But by Great Ceasar's Ghost is it expensive! A Hasegawa VF-1A/J/S cleanskin is 1600 yen or so. A super thunderbolt is 2800 or there abouts. I mean I will get one, but at those prices i can only afford to get one! -Brett

    Is it enamel or acrylic? You could try a bath of isopropyl for a few hours and see how that goes.

    I recently managed to get my hands on Mike's repop of the Moscato Hobby Models Glaug in 1/72. I have a had a quick look through the big box o resin that showed up at my house of Friday. There is a heap of parts in this bad boy! I have started clean up already but it might take a while before I am at the painting stage. I thought I might start on the arm cannons first. It's a great kit and a real bargain too if you missed out on the original release. -Brett

    I have packets ready so I guess this means that the 1/48 scale VF-1 masking sets are officially in production! These 48 scale sets use double the masking material but are only priced 50% more. Each set is AUD $8.25 incl postage within Australia. International orders need to add a flat AUD$3.00 regardless of how many sets are ordered. Anyone interested can send me a pm here or at returntokitform@gmail.com. Cheers, Brett

    How did I mess this topic? That sure sounds like a fail there Hasegawa. Though it is nice to know even the big boys get it wrong occasionally.

    I think I have your three covered

    FYI I own the patterns for the seated pilot in that link - man who owns which of the Captains patterns can be confusing - Brett

    Good news! The files for the 1/48 VF-1A/J/S DTRL Canopy (Part N1) have been finalised and will include inner and outer masks. I just have to print up some labels and get cutting. With some luck these should be hitting the streets in a week or two tops! - Brett

    I would be keen to hear about this as well. Most of the places I have heard about charge and enormous amount of money for just a few very small items. - Brett

    Tonight I mocked up the pod to the custom Red Gum base. Pretty happy so far. There is still more work to be done on the legs before I move onto all of the EW kit. Although eventually I am going to have to face up to fixing the paint issue on the top of the body - Brett

    Do you have moulds? You know that there are people (me) who prefer John's proportions over the Wave kits, who can't get there hands those kits after selling them in a fit of madness (also me)?
  24. Return To Kit Form
    Bask in the exquisite workmanship On another note thank god that the wave kits are being reissued. The current scalper prices are redonkulous! - Brett
