So cute, little Edgar!

I love SDF Macross the original very much. The story is great, the characters are great, the mecha, all around great show. However I really love Do You Remember Love? too. The artistic style of DYRL? is so sophisticated and elegant yet still raw in its aesthetic and brings most of the elements of SDF Macross together into one masterpiece. I have yet to see Macross II (I will get to this soon) and have yet to see Macross 7 (will get to this later) but I really do like Macross Plus. I like the Mecha of course and the story and especially Sharon Apple as the pop star who in contrast to Minmei who saves the SDF-1, Sharon almost destroys the SDF-1. I quite enjoyed it. Macross Zero is one of my favorite and I enjoy it more than plus. I really love the mecha. Kawamori went all out on this one with the VF-0 S,A and D and the SV-51s. Just gorgeous. I also love the storyline and how the indigenous people were struggling to keep their culture intact without the pollution of modern society which reminded me of another reverse parallel with SDFM, where the Zentraedi struggled to keep their society free from culture. I love the characters in Zero too and the animation is fantastic. Macross Frontier... I have only seen the first episode but I am really happy about it so far. Sure, nothing compares to the original but I am very happy about the others so far. From what I hear, I may change my mind after watching macross 7 but I am willing to give it a chance.

Such a sweet mech. I prefer the Shin colored blue one but that CF looks fantastic too!

Sorry no more posts. I have been so sick! my throat is so swollen i can hardly breath and it hurts to drink water! When I get better I will do some more mockups.... Hey Kurt, those customs are so great. I hope to save up enough to one day commission you. I will PM you when I get it together to see if you are available.

I was daydreaming about this very thing yesterday. I would love a 1/60 yamato VF-0D. I also think it looks great in Gerwalk mode too!

Hey BigF, that is a great Idea! I may try a mock up like that too.

That is hilarious! I never noticed that!

Good to know!

Probably like the nora, only a lucky few will get it before Christmas while other suckers like me have to wait a couple weeks into January!

And by the way, I love the double Ds too Kicker and Kurt! Awe inspiring. Makes me wish that I was a modeller who could customize like that. Especially after reading about all that yellowing that goes on so there is that added benefit as well as just looking that much more badd assss! I love the weathering by the way. Sorry ruskiiVFaussie, we cant agree on everything!

Are you just teasing us or what?! I am so gullible that I believe you! Please just put me out of my misery and tell me it is!

LOL!!! Its true! And it is no excuse that he was only 16. What a wasted opportunity! But it was good for the story's tension.

It did surprisingly arrive in mint condition, even the box. I was shocked because it was not packed well and was just put into a home made looking box. I will never do business with that guy again! The frustration and anger alone made it terrible! I have only transformed into Gerwalk mode so far. I was going to transform her into Battroid tonight but I am locked out of my office due to a fallen tree and power outage. But I think that I either accidentally broke her right shoulder piece when I was detaching the arm from the fuselage or that it was like that already. no I was not drunk this time. Havent had time to look into it further yet. But other than that she is SOOOOOOO Tight! what a gorgeous design. This is a brilliant masterpiece of a collectible. I am really impressed! I am too. I was really scared that I had just thrown $200 to the HK mafia and would never see the nora. Even though it was a serious headache dealing with jchung, when I had that nora in my hands I did not hate him anymore! Awesome support group! Thanks. I thought that I was being clever canceling my order with HLJ and going with the ebay one. I thought, I will get mine before ruskiiVFaussie for sure, that sucker! But then I was almost in tears when I saw that you got yours and that David Hingtgen had his all wrapped up pretty in time for christmas and I was wondering if I just got totally ripped off! Definitely, I will probably go with Lost and Found toys too. That jchung!

CRAP! That is scary. I have never had HLJ send more than one box at a time to me. Have you emailed them?

After placing an order (and paying instantly via paypal) through Hong Kong ebay user jchung on December 3rd, today, January 9th the item finally arrived. This is one gorgeous bird! Very excited! It was a long wait and I should have stayed with HLJ. I changed lanes and got into a slower one! I felt like the opening scene of "office space" but now I have finally arrived at the destination of Nora and she is a beauty! What a gorgeous design! The colors are perfect in my opinion and the way the gold is shining off my light is just right! Cant wait to pose her in my collection display! Over and out....

Good point. I can photoshop that out for now. Got to run.

It may be Saturday until anyone hears from me again...

Ok, another version of Virgin Road... More of the original VF-1D box art soon, the sides and back....

Images HERE I love this one

You have to watch it! http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=24559

Those legos are awesome! I hope that Yamato does release Macross Plus Ghosts and that they come in 3 packs for cheap!

And back to the VF-1D TV version. I am thinking that This one would be for the inner flap, when you open it up....

Here is another version of the Virgin Road one. Not so sure now. May go in a totally different direction. I have another idea I may try instead.

Ok, here is the first go at the cover art for the Virgin Road one. Copying the Hasegawa...

Ok but soon people are going to be saying, "hey I voted before those other options were there. Not fair!". I think that it is complete now. Plus I have to get back to custom box designing... Oh, wait a minute, I am at work! Oh well...
