Just got a VF-11B with FP's from aaajin in perfect shape and fatst! Thanks for the killer deal and service!

I liked the angel in blue so much I bought an extra set of blue Max fast packs to have with it at all times... Sorry I never got so crazy with Hikaru's 1j... maybe next time I update my fast pack review... but that's not gonna be for a long time.

Where can I get Max fastpacks at? I want to do an Angle Blue!

I don't know why I want this, but it seems rather rare and coolio. Something in near perfect shape wanted, can be loose though.

lemme know if you have me covered.

thanks

Just go on ebay. Neither the Artmic Design Works nor the Entertainment Bible books are super hard to find or super expensive.

Maybe not hard for you, but when it comes to searching I am like Christopher Columbus. I find stuff, but not what I am looking for

Would you be so kind as to direct me toward an applicable link my good man?

While it is not Hikaru's VF-1J, Scorched Earth/Anymoon AKA Jenius had some fun with the different armor on an VF-1A Angle Bird.

I know that someone has put the red armor on a Hikaru VF-1S but I have yet to see it on the white and red VF-1J.

Hope this helps.

The Angle in blue is sweet

I am looking for the followig books. The book or scans are ok by me, thanks

sqidd, I see you also have the 1/665 scale space battleship Yamato. Pretty nice, isn't it?

-Kyp

Hell yeah! I want the Machanical one though, that sucker is sweeeeeeeeet!

Holy crap! I never knew there was such things like Lego Star Destroyer and let only DEATHSTAR!

Wow~! i mean WOW. Do those monsters come with instructions? 0_o?

You think those are cool, check this out. It's the biggest Lego kit ever made (the Death Star was before this)

5195 pieces! I have mie on the way. I have kit number 9!

Ad yeah, thy have instrutions. Everythig is grey! I sort them ito bins before I start buildig. If I didn't they would never get done

Another score for Chowser. He sold me a VF-IJ Hikaru with GBP armor and it was missing two greades/missels which I kew about and was no big deal. Well, after I got it and the transaction was over he found the missels and set them right off.

He didn't need to do it. I had already placed him o the list. Chowser is the finest kind of stand up guy!

Now if he would only sell me his Doyusha YF-19 Bronze........

Added a new toy to the mix today. Everyone settle down......or there will be...Trouble.

Only the FP version came with extra hands and gunpods.

Ah ha, that makes sense. I have never trasnformed my FP 21. It's still in fighter mode. I need to pull that gupod out of there and give it to the other guy. He can't be walkin' around unarmed!

thanks

i think these are what you're looking for:

just google "ground crew" or "ground equipment" and add either hasegawa, revell, fujimi to narrow the search, or add 1/48, 1/60, 1/72 to really drill down.

i'm planning to build a diorama myself after i was inspired by this one:

http://www.chimera-art.com/cpg135/thumbnails.php?album=36

now i'm torn between doing 1/48 or 1/72. i like the 1/48 because of the mini-missile detail in the fastpacks, but most of the model kits for hangars are in 1/72.

That Diorama is sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

I got impression the original poster might be looking for ready-made stuff rather than model kits.

Yeah I am, but thanks for the time you put in posting the links. I screwed around a bit the other night looking for stuff and couldn't come up with much. I did find some 1/72 stuff, but that's not quite going to cut it because I will be using 1/48's and maybe a 1/60.

The search continues!

thanks

I have two 1/72 Yamato 21's, one with FP's, one without. I got both used. Are they supposed to have guns? All of these pics show them with guns. Did the Yamato's have them?

thanks

I set some more lights up and moved some stuf around today. Took a while to wire all the lights in the shelving unit and make the aluminum shields, but it turned out pretty good. I think I am going to add a lot more metal to the bookcase and paint it white. It will have that sudo industrial look then. Looks good for now though me thinks.

Macross goodies

Lego goodies (Ferrari stuff will come later )

Brilliant!! ! !! I like to sprinkle them on myself too so i can flyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy..

I have seen your reply at least 10 times and I still think it's about the funniest thing I have EVER heard! I laugh out loud every time. I would like to say thanks, I like laughing

Actually, it's what they made the internet for isn't it? Well, that and porn anyway.

There's porn on the internet?

A part of my collection^_~

I think you need a few more hot chicks

I'll have a little rant every now and then but thats human nature IMO.

I agree, the rant is most certainly warranted. It's all part of the process

Compare the lower torso regions of both.

You and your lower torso's again

A repaint coming up:

IMHO they should have gone with the full blown TV colors.

I have the "purple" one already, I don't need another one that isn't the right color

Hobby shops. Lots of them there.

Tried my local ones, all they have is RC cars

I need something online I can click on I like clicking

you're certainly not going to pay for a new car with problems and justify it because you can fix it yourself, same goes for these or any other luxury item.

This is where you are dead wrong. Aside from collecting toys I have a very fast car and I race motorcycles, specifically Ducati's. You should hang out on those boards!

The Ducati's are famous for having production/design issues and we are talking about a bike that can cost anywhere between $10,000 and $65,000! I'm not talking about little things either, stalling problems, rocker arm flaking issues, burnt carbon fiber ($$$$) fairings from the exhaust, etc.

The new Mustangs are the same way. Clunking front suspension, rattles in the interior, broken driveshafts, gear whine from the rear end, etc, etc, etc

How about Ferrari's? These things are in service constantly. There are even some parts that the buyer knows they will need to fix the day they drive it off the floor.

Hell, I just got a new Ducati 1098 last week and my first order of business is to strip it down to the frame and then rebuild it so I know that it's right. I am an extreme case because I use my bikes at the track only, but I wouldn't do this to a Honda and it costs half the money.

The above are all examples of items sold at a premium price with known problems they day they are sold. And they sell like hotcakes and the buyers just deal with it.

There are products the world over that should be perfect but aren't. It's not just Yamato toys. I think you will find this trend on most low production specialty items. I'm not saying its right; I'm just saying it "is".

If you choose not to buy something because it's not perfect it's completely understandable. But if you have the personality that craves things that are "special" or "different" (I do). I'm afraid that you have firmly placed yourself in a market segment that is more likely to have shortcomings than not

I would like to set up a "working display" of some fighters getting worked on. Anyone got a link to a site that has either 1/48 or 1/60 sized military vehicles, figures, construction equipment, etc. The kind of stuff you would see on/in the deck/shop of an aircraft carrier.

Little trucks, missiles racks, deck hands, loaders, etc??

Is it just me or doesn't the Ivanoff insignia behind the cockpit not "POP" enough? In Zero that sucker was RED! On the Yamato it's kinds understaed. I would love a decal that was RED as all get out for back there.
