Added DX Chogokin Macross Quarter to my collection!

BTW....are there any interesting things happening on the web for this auspicious occasion?

Oh yeah....I was ready for today as well....pulled my Macross books out of my library, loaded my CD changer in my car with Macross OSTs, and watched episode 1 as I sipped my coffee before heading to work. I've been a Macross fan for a little over 28 years now and it still holds all the fascination as it did when I was first introduced to it. Happy Birthday SDF1!

Thanks! I'm really proud of it! Had wanted this kit for a long time, and it was a sheer joy to build! My methods will seem quite "backwoods" to this forum, im sure, but I use the water decals and seal them with clear nailpolish. I then seal the entire kit with aerosol hairspray. It takes all of my hobby funds just to purchase the kits, so I have to go to "grass roots" for my materials. The painting was minimal, thanks to the multicolor molding of the kit except for the cockpit and pilot. I am posting links to the battroid mode which will be the final display state. http://i1082.photobucket.com/albums/j379/fhrex/IMG_0200.jpg http://i1082.photobucket.com/albums/j379/fhrex/IMG_0205.jpg http://i1082.photobucket.com/albums/j379/fhrex/IMG_0197.jpg http://i1082.photobucket.com/albums/j379/fhrex/IMG_0195.jpg

Just finished my VF25S Armored Messiah http://i1082.photobucket.com/albums/j379/fhrex/IMG_0138.jpg http://i1082.photobucket.com/albums/j379/fhrex/IMG_0136.jpg http://i1082.photobucket.com/albums/j379/fhrex/IMG_0182.jpg http://i1082.photobucket.com/albums/j379/fhrex/IMG_0181.jpg

I have been fortunate enough for my wife to have given me the VF25S Armored Messiah kit! I have been drooling over this kit for a very long time! A weekend off for New Years is just what I need to dive in!

Now youre talkin! The Phalanx was always my favorite destroid!

I am not sure if anyone has touched on this yet, but I found this supposed American trailer for the Macross F movie(s). It looks really good, and the voice sounds a lot like one of the voice actors at ADV. Is this a fake? Macross F American movie trailer

Speaking of the factory....I was able to find a kit still in the plastic, but without box or instructions. Does anyone know where I might be able to get scans of the instructions?

Revell repackaged the first Robotech models. I think I bought and built every one! Gubaba shows one of the box illos I had. There were others also, which included Millia's VF-1J and the VF1D, and the factory. Non-Macross included an Orguss Orgoid.

DYRL for me. The art and animation are really nice! The series is just so raw sometimes, but the movie art is so much cleaner.

Looks just like mine.

Even made a wallpaper! LOL

Came up with these as well....hope they help

All I can offer are the mech designs straight off of the Macross F site....

true enough, but there is a seller out of Canada who is admittedly not trying to gouge people, he is who I bought from.

My Klan Klan figure arrived this week.....definitely well worth all the bidding, losing, and waiting.....absolutely awesome! Highly recommended!!

I have that kit as well, and think I still have the instructions....have to dig 'em out and see....I'll be your back-up ; )

Yeah wish the one I built looked that good! Your job on the kit makes it look bigger than it really is....awesome!

I usually go straight to styrene with lacquers. I've never used a primer. I use Gunze Sangyo colors. As far as dissolving glue....I really have no idea.

Gorgeous kit, man! The Phalanx has always been my favorite of all the destroids....you have really done it justice! BRAVO!!

I have to concurr.....there is very little painting that needs to be done on this kit, and the decals are awesome. The cockpit is probably the most intensive area, with the pilot beint the most demanding. This kit was actually a sheer joy to build and I am ecstatic with it's turn out. I encourage you to give it a try and simply post here if you have any questions.
