This one was probably mentioned pages ago, but just picked this up. I had no intention of getting it, but everytime I went by Anime Jungle and it was there, it grew on me. She's absolutely adorable. There's different characters out now, and a third on the way.
-
Then they probably did something wrong, or Arcadia did something wrong, because the scales are off.
-
I just hope they are what people expect from a resin kit. I packaged up and sent two out today. I've got tomorrow off, so that'll help get some stuff done. Hopefully another two done or more. I had 3 wisdom teeth pulled today, so I couldn't do too much. Even as I write now, I'm in serious pain, and can't move my jaw (really difficult wisdom tooth left me sore).

I don't think the Macross DX line is even 1/60. They don't list a scale on the box. So, if Bandai does end up getting a VF-1 license, they already have a couple variations of it in different scales. I hope Arcadia does still keep it. Their VF-1 in 1/60 is really a solid toy. Also, the M&M 1/60 is a hard find. There's a Miliya on YJ for about $600+. I have an open Miliya, but I wouldn't sell it for less than $500.

I have kits going out tomorrow. Not all of them, but a few. Decals came out well, all recasts are looking good. Once the 1/72 recasts are done, onto the 1/60s.
-
Thanks. Great pictures. I really do like the looks of them in these outfits. I think I am going to end up displaying them in one of the alternate outfits. Thanks for posting them. They do take time to put them in the outfits right the first time. The second time is much quicker, but in some cases, it takes about as much time as transforming one of the more complex Valkyries.
-
That looks amazing. Great work. I can't wait to get one myself.
-
No problem. I finally got done with all 1/72 molds and they're pretty good for a kit this complex. At this point, I'm just recasting as much as I can do for the weather. the cold is making these have to stay in the tank twice the amount of time. Nevertheless, I'm happy with the results.
-
I'm gonna start as soon as I finish making the molds for the 1/72. The molds are done already, so it's just a matter of getting to them. I'm hoping mid December. I have all the paint and decals ready, so it's just going to be an assembly line for the painted ones.
-
You're welcome. Just wish I could work faster. I tried that and I'm now fixing little things I didn't notice before. However, last piece gets poured today, and with a longer weekend, hopefully some time to get it all done and start sending kits out. On a side note, I'll try to update everyone this weekend, but if I don't, Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving. For those that don't celebrate it, I can say that I'm thankful for all the great fans here. you guys are all awesome.
-
I made them myself. In order to get decals done through a business, usually it cost a bit of money, and since I had these decal sheets at home already, I might as well use them. They'll work, and the paper is quite decent. I may have them done for the Ghost X-9 if there's enough orders.
-
I just got one MISB for around $250 off of eBay. This might be a reissue that's a day late in the demand. Nevertheless, if they reissue the super parts, I'll get those.
-
Thanks Tochiro for putting it up. If anyone has any questions about them or any of the technical questions regarding them, you can ask here, or send me a pm.
-
Ok. The results are in, and the recast is very, very clean. It's better than I thought it'd be. Part 2 is under construction now. Same careful method to be used.
-
I see a Macross item on display in that last picture. Edit: And in the first picture.
-
Very nice. The cabinet space, along with how you have the rest of this stuff on display, looks great. Can't wait to see the final look, if it really ever does become a final look. I'm impressed.

Hoping that a company dies off so that another company can pick up their licenses, just because of a bad experience sounds like a whole bucket of whining to me, but in any case, it's an old issue. I'm not too worried about this release. If it does have any issues, while I will be upset at it, I know that not every fruit off the tree is going to be as sweet as another, and the fact that I've had bowls and bowls of sweet fruit from said tree, I'll be alright. Yeah, sorry for the analogy, but I think it suits my situation just fine.
-
The other side needs to be done, but that is going well. In the meantime, I'm making some of the other parts in between.
-
No, don't take it as whining, and there's no need to get so defensive. I'm aware of the public forum, and you're allowed to whine about all things possible, but I do find it funny that me pointing it out is whining. In any case, you getting defensive says a lot. If you had actually read what I wrote, I mentioned that it's not a big deal. It's not for everyone. I don't think anyone really cares about you not wanting one. I just found your post funny. The HMR line isn't even set in stone, and I honestly don't think it'll even get that far. There seems to be quite a few fans here already passing and just waiting on certain items. IF Bandai is as hardcore as people here think they are, if a few of the releases go south, this could see an end before. While bigger isn't always better (VF-2SS in 1/60 to what maybe a release by the HMR line), I wouldn't trust some of the transformation in a 1/100 scale to a larger scale with thicher pieces. That said, all we can do is see what comes of that line. I have my doubts about the line going that far out, but if I'm wrong, good for those that like and can afford these.
-
No wonder it hurts the crap out of my ears. That drunk. What was he thinking?
-
There's always a fix. Well, if no green light. I tried.
-
C'mon, anyone else for a 1/60???
-
If you're already wanting the Hi-Metal R line, which is 1/100, what's the point of whining about something you're not going to give any money to? Bandai seems to already have the line in 1/100, so I don't see what the point of this is. I do predict that the Hi-Metal line may end up dying off though. After so many years of larger scale Valkyries, I just don't see too many people needing to flock to lower scale stuff. Sure they're less expensive, but they didn't make the cut a couple years ago, and it's only gonna take one release that doesn't sell well for them to reconsider. On a side note, I haven't had a single issue with any of the 0 line. I'm pretty sure the VF-4G is going to be the exact same as it was before. Seems like premature panic, but it's nothing to worry about. It's not everyone's cup of tea. I know the 1/100s are definitely not for me. I've heard so few complaints about the VF-4G release by Yamato, I really have no reason to worry about this. They are the exact same molds, and most likely use the exact same processes and materials as before. I have yet to have any issues with Arcadia products, so I'm either lucky, or I got good quality items as I did before.

The Ranka looks much better in this release, than the Sheryl. The Sheryl doesn't look much like her, sadly.
-
OK, 3rd time's the charm with this one. It set poorly and didn't get a good impression of the part. Nevertheless, I'll give this a run tonight and see how it goes. Sorry if the pic is extremely large. I'm taking this and uploading it on my phone from work.
