    I'd go with the PG Zephyranthes or the PG MK-II.

    A lot of people will hate me for this but I hope Arcadia stays in bussiness producing Macross products for many years to come, cause MrK and Yamato were always bold enough to create Macross pieces of art like the 1/60 VF-1 v2 including two seaters, the GBP/Strike/Fast Packs add ons, the VF-4G, the YF-21, the VF-11, the VF-19 series, the VF-17, the v3 YF-19, the 1/3000 SDF-1, the destroids, the Q-Rau, the HDP Regult, the König Monster. All of these mechas where created with an incredible attention to details, proportion, fit and lineart accuracy. Sure there were and still are some QC f@ck ups but all of the mentioned mechas are great 3d representations of the anime and the lineart. Bandai has stepped up it's game with the YF-30 and the VF-19 Advance and Bandai certainly has the resources to make the same quality products even better than Yamato/Arcadia but never put/showed the same effort and energy and creativity for Macross. Yes they perfected the König Monster after Yamato took the plunge and tested the waters, they perfected (actually copied a lot of gimmicks) the YF-19 after Arcadia tested the waters with the v3 YF-19!!! Yes, the VF-25 renewal is a very good toy but just that, it lacks the deluxe feeling of the Yamato/Arcadia offerings, because the landing gears, the pilots, the turbine details are too toyish even the fit and finish is not on par. So until Bandai (with all of it's resources) doesn't offer a premium Macross product or is bold enough to venture into obscure Macross mecha I sincerely hope Arcadia and Mr K stay long enough to give us products like the upcoming Reactive Armor for the VF-0. Designer toys cost $$$, ultimately the market will decide if Arcadia stays afloat with it's bussiness model Just my two cents for what it's worth. I said it a couple years back, and I'll say it again, Yamato was the best that could happen to Macross toys collectors. Arcadia seems to have inherited the same spirit, hope they have the same determination.

    Wow the coloring and shading is perfect!!!
  4. Ignacio Ocamica
    Interesting perspective. Thank you Renato for your time!!! I guess the misaligned intake warnings on the VF-0D got past QC!!
  5. Ignacio Ocamica
    Paid for my HLJ order!!!

    I had another dream, where Arcadia wanted to exponentially multiply it's customers so they offered Flashbacks VF-4G with a discount at ¥18000

    The VF-3000 is my favorite valk! I even like it over the VF-1, but it's too obscure! It's my holy grail like the SW-XA1 Schneeblume. I think I'd trade all off my collection for those 2!!!!
  8. Ignacio Ocamica
    Preordered at HLJ!!! If they later release the reactive armor bundled I'm going to be extremely pissed!!!
  9. Ignacio Ocamica
    Yeah, you tell that to my wallet!!! Cool pose by the way.
  10. Ignacio Ocamica
    You got me!!! I'm waiting for HLJ's payment notification.

    Hi-Metal R

    Should be bigger because the MkII Monster is bigger than the König Monster. I think Bandai is going to fudge the scale, it's not going to be true 1/100.
  12. Ignacio Ocamica
    Looking good!! Any progress with the baby crabs?
  13. Ignacio Ocamica
    That's a great pose!

    I'm using two part sculpting epoxy. Suprabond is the brand, it's similar to super sculpey. Depending on the temperature it gives me half/one hour before it starts to harden.
  15. Ignacio Ocamica
    It's my first try at sculpting a human body. We'll see the end result! Critics are welcomed!!

    I'm scratchbuilding a 1/60 Zentran Soldier, here are some quick phone pics of the WIP:
  17. Ignacio Ocamica
    YF-21 VF-1S DYRL? Nousjadeul-Ger YF-19 VF-4 My top 5.
  18. Ignacio Ocamica
    Arcadia's YF-19 is sexier in every mode. Just my subjective two cents!!! Bandai's fighter is too straight, the canopy is too big, the feet protrude too much. Bandai's battroid has clown feet compared to the lower thin legs, the shoulders are too small, and the head looks squashed with it's short chin/mouth piece. Again this is my subjective view. Other members will find things they don't like about Arcadia's YF -19.
  19. Ignacio Ocamica
    I meant the CF SV-51 I never got one (only got Ivanov and Nora)! I have two VF-4G's but I'd love a 2012 Flashback one!
  20. Ignacio Ocamica
    Yes please Spanner by all means buy one right now!!!
  21. Ignacio Ocamica
    I had forgotten this WIP. it's turning out great!!! Hope to see another update soon.
  22. Ignacio Ocamica
    Amazing build!!!! I'm speechless!
  23. Ignacio Ocamica
    In my case Arcadia has better articulation because I like gerwalk mode a lot and Bandai's VF-19 looks like it's riding a horse. Love the missiles from the Arcadia and don't like the packs at all for the YF/VF-19 series so again Arcadia has better accesories. I agree Arcadia's YF-19 could have more tampo but Bandai has a lot. So everything can be subjective or objective! I believe it's a win win situation because we have two companies to choose from.

    Looking great with all the markings!!!

    Poor Kakizaki he's last in that formation!
