Did they ever make a weathering version of the olive green?
-
Hikaru's 1S was one of my earlier projects. It's the original Yamato release paired with the strike parts from the premium finish set. I did that so all my DYRL valks were the same shade of dark white with rainbow canopies. Max's 1A is the only hero valk from the movie I haven't worked on yet. Everyone loves escort missions!

This level of Urkel-ness hasn't been seen since the original line of Frontier toys.
-
Don't worry it's just a Thai knockoff brand. Cat's Eye! I should have thought of that. Never played any RT games, but I'm assuming the mission ended in much the same way as the show?
-
Are the intakes supposed to look that wonky or am I just too used to Yamato's?
-
The animators are still a step above Bandai, because they at least included the ejection seat warning.
-
That's a good use of the Minmay decal. Yeah I too wish we had more options like this.

You never know what you'll find when taking your valkyries out of storage after a long time.

Absolutely stunning picture! Just goes to show that one great pic > 50 mediocre pics!

Mandarake has a Yamato VF-4G that someone customized into the FB2012 version. My only gripe is that they didn't sand out the obvious seam lines on the nose before painting it. https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1177496033

"Latest development sample" probably just means that they have a final molded plastic production sample and not the painted prototype they've been trotting out. Extremely doubtful Bandai made any meaningful changes. This is the company that prints modex numbers backwards for spectacularly stupid reasons.
-
The undersized pilots are a real eyesore. Makes the VF-1 look like some hideously gigantic machine that belongs in the Gundam universe rather than a compact aircraft that's smaller than the real world F-14.
-
I wish they would reissue the premium finish versions of Roy and Hikaru instead. Or better yet just make everything "premium finish" and not split their own tiny market.
-
Yes, it's always best to pay in yen with a CC that doesn't charge any foreign transaction fees. Those transaction fees really add up when you buy a lot of stuff from Japan!
-
I had forgotten that Delta introduced add-ons for the add-ons.
-
Chugging along and getting valks back up one by one when I have time. (Gonna need to repaint my badly yellowed TV SDF-1 unless Bandai releases theirs...) I know some prefer the TV livery for our heroes while others prefer the movie versions. TV heroes Movie heroes

Now the long, long process of taking my stuff out of storage and setting them up. Starting with the OG Macross on the top row...

Thanks! Finally got the cases done. Took a while longer than I expected as, once again, there were no instructions and I had to watch some Youtube videos and go through a bit of trial and error to get everything just right. Next set should come together much faster. Finally my valks will have a proper home!

Finished the main assembly on my moducases. Still need to wire up all the LED lights. I'll get to that over the weekend. Assembly wasn't too bad, though there were a couple of parts where the holes were not properly sized (poor QC) and I had to drill larger holes through the metal. That's always fun. A couple of the shelf boards were also slightly warped and bent upwards slightly, so I've placed some weights on them to eventually flatten them out. Will probably get another set of 8 as these definitely will not fight all my 1/60 valks even though there's a ton of space. 1/48 Kakizaki for scale.

Nothing manlier than a purple flight suit!
-
Do the flightpose stands still have issues with paint rub?
-
Oh wow that looks pretty good. Just need to do a panel wash and you've got your own premium finish edition!
-
Bandai been teasing this forever. They're not going to fix anything, so where's the preorder button already?
