Man, I so wanted to try that paint scheme out. I'm a little intimidated by it though. That is the best looking Macross Model I've ever seen! I've saved every picture to my harddrive of that thing. I'm still contimplating painting the recast that way. Beetween Eat, sleep, Work, and the occasional trip to the gym, I'm having a hard time find any time to work on the 21. I'll hopefully have updated pics this weekend. I think I'm going to start painting tommorow.

Neova, What was the price you saw on the originals?

I saw these on Ebay a couple of weeks ago. They were in an Ebay store. I'm Thinking about trying them out that full armor vf-11 looks sweet.

I was just browsing the internet and found these. Are these guys legit? Macross Plus Kits

Na, I found that on google. I did a search and could not find any line art. Ther'e may be something in macross design works but I'm not sure of it.

While your scratch building those gunpods, Can you scratch build some fast packs to go alon with them? The biggest issues for me on the 21 were the wedge shaped piece, the wings mating up to the fuselage, and the canopy I think Has taken the most time.

meeee! this probably doesn't help. but still a cool pic

In your opinion, do you think the 19 was easier or tougher to build?

Yeah. I PMd devin a couple of weeks ago. I haven't heard anything back from him. I don't think he's been around to much lately. I'm just weighing my options for the time being. I would love to get devin's decal I've had them before for some 1/60s.

Let me know if your succesful with the decals. I would be interested in some too. thanks.

When you guys say gap-filling super glue. What do you mean? Any paticular brand I should be looking for?

I think the porshe would look dope with a pair of carbon fiber altezzas, clear corners, and hyper blue side markers.

Can anybody direct me to a place that carrys Mr. Surfacer. I've looked every where and can't find it.

The Canopy is proving to be a real pain in the butt. I've putty up this gap several times. During the sanding process I seem to keep pushing the putty through. Thus, leaving this gaping hole. Any Suggestions?

I've sprayed Tamiya primer(spray can) on the craft. I normally don't use primer. Ecspecially, spray cans. However, I had a lot of blemishes I wanted to hide from the sanding process. It seems to have worked out okay so far.

Pics of the rear gear. These are giving me some trouble. I think I'm going to re-putty them and sand them down again.

I've done a little bit more work. I decided to take the time to build the landing gear up. It still not the way I want it but it's coming along. Heres a pick of the front gear doors close. I think after a paint job and a good wash these will look ok.

Wow! your really coming along. I'm going to have to make some time to work on the 21. Before you said you were going to build the landing gear down. Have you thought about building them up? How hard would it be on the 19? What kind of putty are you using to fill in the gaps? I was using Tamiya now I'm using something called white putty. There both not very sandpaper friendly.

Wow. is that how your making your clear lenses? sweet. As for bubbles, there are little to none in my kits.

Where are you getting your stash? From HG?

Hey. I found these today while sifting throught the models section of the site. YF-19 Instructions

Try using future floor polish. the stuff is brilliant. the only problem with using it is that it is too glossy. You have to use a dull coat to tone it down. I usually go like this paint decals/solvent(I use microsol: apply decals then brush the solution on) Go Light! future wash. that way the wash runs over the decals. future to seal

I'm looking forward to seeing that.

Chris, the original project was started last summer by mslz22 and Myersjesse. You can view the link about the project Here. You can pm them to see if the're still able to put out any more kits.

That Minmei figure looks sweet. I wish I had enough patience to paint figurines. The Elint is looking good aswell.
