I will be working on decals (mostly based off of the Hasegawa and Yamato size decals. I have hi-res scans of them, and the decal paper is already here, so I should be getting those out with them. As to whether or not they'll be on the painted kits. normally this isn't done, as some may want variations, but I could just put the basic decals on, which is the kite symbol on. The rest would be up to each person. If I had to fully decal each one, you guys can't expect these to get to you for quite sometime.

I don't take that as a rule, but a common sense business practice. They aren't entitled to put anything out, and if it sells poorly, they aren't required to continue. I'd love to see this come with the SAP, but this could be a monetary issue, where they don't want to invest too much if it's a bust anyways. I see it as a way of mitigating potential loss. I mean after all, Macross II isn't the shining beacon of the Macross franchise. Quite opposite. I'm sure they've taken that into account, and we can only hope this turns out well in the end, for all of us. While I don't know what the Japanese market thinks of the no SAP, they are catering to them first, so I can only go with that. Glad to know this isn't the final design. Can't wait to see a final design. Thanks, Tochiro, for the news. It actuall kinda goes with what I was thinking. I hope they do reconsider adding the SAP as a standalone. It's too early to set those decisions in stone, so I'll continue with my two pre-orders, maybe a 3rd as well. I need Fairy Squad. Damn, maybe a 4th. Either way, I'm not so fragile as to reconsider pre-orders based on rumors, simple truth guys.... if you want it, get it. If not, don't.

All these releases coming out are killing my wallet, and are going to do it fast at the end of the year/start of next year. That being said, this is something I've been waiting for, for a long time. Now, if only they'd get on that VF-11 armor.
-
No worries. As long as you get what's going to make you happy, then I am. It actually makes it easier for me as well, as they are stacking up. I may need to set a limit for painted versions, but as of now, still good.
-
Very nice. Looks great.
-
If you're possibly interested in an alternative color, and this is really for anyone who doesn't want to paint them, just shoot me a pm. I'd rather have you show me what you want by taking a lineart piece and coloring it, but if that's not doable, show me a picture of a color scheme. At least this way, I will know if I need to skip dying the resin. I can quote you a price, and we can go from there. Just as an update, the project is almost completed as far as the prototype, and barring that, we should be good to go with starting the run.
-
I may decide to offer a few variations, but probably nothing too complex like camoflauge, or anything that will take up the bulk of time. If I do offer other selections, it maybe a few pre-selected schemes, or a choice of a few colors. The other variants will cost a little more, as I'll need to buy those paints, but that's an option. I'm working out something as I type this. I'll probably go with color choices, to give you and others the choice of colors. this'll help with adding more of a personal touch to each one.

Macross Δ (Delta) - announcement thread
Jasonc replied to renegadeleader1's topic in Movies and TV Series
If you write a fanfic, you can have whatever transformation you desire. I try not to be too picky about them, and even if the valkyrie isn't the greatest design IMO, it's not the be all / end all to the series, OVA, or whatever comes. I actually prefer the story, and the valkyrie just a part of that puzzle that is Macross. -
OK, that's what I thought. I haven't worked on it yet, but I'm going to get to it once all the other projects are done. Really happy with it, and the XUD is perfect for the moving tires.
-
That's great to hear. Thanks for the update on the decals. After I finish this project I'm on now, I hope to get around to doing some of these.
-
I got one of these, and it's very nice. the one thing I realized though, is that it's missing the front seat backrest. Was that taken out to fit the Arcadia figure. I haven't tried to seat a figure on it. I'm hoping form "someone" to sculpt them (ahem!)
-
Looking very good. I like the suggestion of doing it from start to finish before you advertise it, and put it up everywhere before mentioning it. By the time someone (HG) craps themselves to shut it down, it's already out and out of their control. That's always been the major problem of previous fan works. And while the IP holder can tell you to take it down, or give a C&D, most other than HG will not make a big wave over it. If you want to use the VF-11, or any other stuff from the Macross universe, you could always make those, and use them, but always have an alternate plan in case something did hit the fan.
-
That really sucks. Do the others fit on it? If not, I think we'll be seeing another exclusive parts set with the HMMs and the other missiles that are similar to Arcadia's release. I mean, God forbid they actually come out with EVERYTHING.
-
I did get mine a few weeks ago, and must say that I'm very happy with the kit. Looks to be a fun build. I think I have a few ideas to put into this one, so I maybe looking at fitting an upper body in the body, and doing some small led light work. Thanks for an amazing kit.
-
So, work has officially begun, and looks like the project is moving along. No pictures to show, but in due time. All materials are in hand and it's now just a quick waiting game. Actually, I do have one pic to show. Special thanks to Falconkpd for a beautiful box art cover to go along with the kit. He's a very talented artist in our MW group here, and has a fan manga titled Macross Elysium. I encourage you all to check out his stuff and support his work. With that in mind, here is the box art...
-
Looks great, Falconkpd. Very nice work, indeed.
-
Should be fine. Xigfrid will probably put you down for it.
-
While we are a ways from starting on these, I will be getting the list of those wanting there kits painted. I will send out pm messages to those, and let you all know what will be done with the kits before painting begins. Regardless, they will come with the decals attached, and an overcoat (maybe satin) will be applied. These are going to come in the standard orange color paint with the black trim. Haven't decided if I want to do any other color choices, but if so, it'll probably be more. In any case, all that will come in due time.
-
That would look sweet. Even a digital camo version.
-
When there's a will to stash boxes, there is always a way.
-
The only two I don't have of this, are Alto's candy cane colored version, and Ozma's. The VF-25S looks gorgeous enough to have it crowded with a 29.
-
Working on decals now. Should be done hopefully by weekend. Since there isn't much in the way of elaborate markings, I'll probably make the basic ones, and will then add some no step and beware of blast decals. Some extra stuff on there as well for those that may want more as well. They'll also need to be done on white backing paper so that the white will stick out. I may put 4 of the UN SPACY decals on, in case anyone wants to double up on the orange not bleeding through.
-
I very much agree. I don't NEED another 29, but the fact that it's a completely different color, and from a different character, makes me want this one more than the others. I did get the Isamu version, but realize that I didn't really need it. Especially now have a 19 and a 19 Advance. Ozma has a 25, and Alto still has a 25F. I think a new character's 29 works well. Edit: I just tried to pay, and realized that it was through CD Japan, and already paid for. Yay for me, I guess.
-
I guess I should pay up then. Mine is at NY

His site can sometimes be quite behind on what he actually has. I've had times where I was looking for one that was on the site, but it was long sold out. I maybe at San Diego Comicon, so if I go, I'll be seeing him there as well.
