I built mine completely snap using only gundam markers for panel lines and painting the pilot with gundam markers too as well as the canopy using masking tape and then the stickers. It was fun but it took about 9 hours. The leg broke and that was the only time I used cement.
My choice was, "Meh, its OK" because I do like the final look (excluding Ozma's lack of neck which is WTF) but I do not think it is much of a top shelf toy. I am planning to get the Luca and/or the Michael.
Wow. I am gone from the boards for like almost two days and get pages of this! I think these actually turned out quite nice. I am tempted to get Alto now but I think I will stick with Luca and/or Michael. Finally now that I see what they look like in fighter mode. I will probably pose Luca in fighter mode and Michael in battroid and put macro Klan in between them! wooo hooo! Now I just have to save up!
For sure. My friends are awesome and I am stoked on it.
Nice Screen!
I have been wanting one of those for a long time. I am still using my grandma's old TV from the 1980s that I inherited a few years ago. Sometimes I just watch DVDs on my laptop for better resolution though.
QFT!
I really love this show and am glad that I am watching it in Japanese with subtitles but I will watch it again when the Dubs come out so that I can Gawk more at Yoko and pay more attention to the anime visually.
Got my shipping notice for the series 1 HGIF this morning from HLJ. I am pretty excited. I dont really like the series 2 though so did not preorder that one.
hmmmmm....
My VF-25 model is one of the most fragile items in my collection. It has broken at a thick part of the thigh on its first transformation and took some serious cement to get back together again and every time I touch it something falls off. Sure the Yamatos are not really much as play toys like the transformers you get at Toys R Us but definitely more handleable than the VF-25 model in my experience. It was fun to put the VF-25 together and I love the sculpt but because it takes so much time to complete and because it is so fragile I am considering stopping at this one even though I really want the one with the super parts.
Since I am probably not going to get anything from anyone for Hannuka or Christmass or any other holliday from any culture that falls in December I WILL share with you what I got for my Birthday which falls in December. I am very lucky and my friends pooled in to get this for me....
