sqidd

Thanks Guys! Thats my first custom. I didn't expect it to turn out so well. The Revvies are great for it though. You don't need to take a big $$$ risk to try an idea out. I think I am going to do a Milia next.

I do like the Hikaru "Strike Diablo" a lot though. I think I need to get a 48 and kit it out with dual strike canons and two gun pods.

I call it VF-1S Hikaru "Diablo Strike"

Macross 20th Anniversary Premium DVD Collection

I'm putting a DVD buing guide together and I would like to add this.....but I don't know what it is. Can someone please help me out here. I can't find a description?

thanks

Does anyone have a source for Macross 7 Encore?

thanks

Jason

Minmay. She's hot and spoiled so she's probably crazy in the sack

You are 180 deg off. The spoiled, hot, pampered types are nothing but a wet noodle. They are also the ones with the worst self esteem.

How do I get into eBay Japan and eBay HK? Whats the URL? I can;t seem to get it figured out.

thanks

thanks I found a set of super parts for $70.00 shipped,still looking to see if there are cheaper sets for sale.

Doesn't get much better than that.

I saw that kit and from what I remember the owner is asking HK$4800 for it, which is more like US$600'ish! The thing is huge and shipping to the US will add at least another US$100 or so.

This is a huge kit and quite worth having as it is the largest toy VF-1 produced and very very rare but the price is only for people with very very deep pockets!

I’m not sure I would plunk down $600, but I sure would like to have one of these to hang from the ceiling I my office.

Great stuff sqidd. You'll have to give us the straight dope on the Griffon once you've had a chance to look it over. I really hope you like Patlabor Movie 1.

The Griffon is awesome! By far it is the most Revvie for the dollar. It’s huge! Between the body and the wigs it takes up almost twice the space of a normal Revvie. The gloss black looks amazing, the hand sculpt is nothing short of sinister and the head is just plain scary. The only downside is that it doesn’t come with any accessories like a lot of the others do but that is quickly forgotten as soon as you start posing it.

overall, my revy 1j is in pretty good shape. so far, the only real flaw is the hole on the back of the nosecone for the display peg to fit into is rather small, and the peg does not stay in at all.

the vf-1s is fine though...not a problem at all.

I’m happy with my VF-1S and VF-1J. I only opened one of each even though I got multiples. Strangely enough I like the J better than the S. For some reason the head sculpt looks better to me. And the S’s head can’t be positioned to look any higher than straight forward which limits the poses you can do and still be able to look down the barrel of the gun.

Over all very cool though. For $20 they are an absolute steal. All of my Revvies are on shelves in my office except the Valks which are right next to my monitor so I can pose them a few times a day.

Mesa all the way. You KNOW she would have been a nut in bed.

As far as KILL-FUN or Kiafun or whatever he calls himself he could have Minmey. Eventually her whining would drive him to suicide

Something else........................LOL

I used a Sakura Pigma Micron 02 0.30mm Black

Do you use a “Mark and wipe” technique with that pen/marker or is the pen/marker so fine that it doesn’t leave any excess on the panels?

I did a little panel lining last week with a mechanical pencil for the first time but it doesn’t have the quality of definition that yours has.

Thanks

The best thing to do is mask the area around the line and paint the line (This is done when you detail the model). Remove the masking tape and your line should be fine.

Can do on the thicker stuff, thanks

But what do I do for actual panel lines then???

sqidd...once you start watching patlabor, you are not going to stop...prepare for a long night!

Maybe I should save it for my flight to Italy next week then.......nah, I'll watch it tonight

I want a VF-1S, but I'm going to wait until that new movie version Patlabor is released. Then I'll choose a third (likely the Griffon) to make an order of three.

My Griffon is on the way and I got Patlabor 1 yesterday! I can't wait to watch it.

Ok, so I took a bit of advice from everyone here and a big thanks to all. I spent some time last week collecting supplies so I could get started. I just washed all the parts in warm water and dish soap and they are now drying.

I know I am looking a few steps ahead here, but if I need to get an additional paint this would be a good time to ask. On the YF-19 there are some fairly wide “panel lines” toward the back of the fuselage. I will be using Testors Flat White spray enamel for the color of the fighter. What would be the best/easiest method/kind of paint to panel line this paint?

Thanks again!

please put me on the list. I would like 1. Is there a deposit or something? How long will it take for me to get one?

I would like to be on the list also and I have the same questions as above.

thanks

Jason

THANKS I mentioned, in the other post I have with the rest of the pics for this guy, that I really like the penciled panel lines but I think that the darkness of the bolder black panel lines gives it a more cartoony feel.

So what did you use to panel line the one in the pics? A pencil or something else? I'm confused

I would get my two dogs out even if it meant running THROUGH fire.

The insurance company can pay for everything else.

Did the Max and Millia ever show up in SDFM or DYRL as VF-1S's or were they always just J's? I have a few Revoltech's that I want to paint up like a Max and Millia and I am not sure what I want to use as the "base" model????

Didn't Hikaru start using Roy's VF-1S after Roy's death? I always thought in that particular episode, "Booby Duck", that he was flying the VF-1S as he was promoted to Skull Leader after Roy's death in SDF:M.

Yeah, I thought the same thing?????

Kakizake all the way. I knew he was going to bite it the first time I saw him.

Has anyone ever purchased one of these sighns> Are they junk? They seem to go for such little money I can't imagine them being very good. But even iof they only last a year the price is right. Any help would be apreciated.

So happy Nora is coming for Christmas!

In the sprit of Jaws

"I think we need a bigger stocking"

I know what part that is as well: the foot stand and my VF-1J came with it as well. HLJ has a picture of a Patlabor Revoltech figure that I can borrow to illustrate the use of the foot stand:

Plug it into the horizontal stand and then plug the VF-1J foot into the vertical block. Instant action pose

Doooooooooood! Can you give me a link to that Revoltech? I can't find it and I need one of those bad boys, it looks incredible!

thanks
