That's a great fix, even for the VF-25 renewals. Perhaps a very thin metal strip or metal inserts, will make that work perfectly.
-
What type of custom job were you thinkng of doing? I don't know about the difficulty, but they're built in a complex fashion, so you'll just need to remember where all the pieces go.
-
Their projects from 08, 10, 11, and 12 are all on their FB page. Pretty awesome.
-
I have no clue. In any case though, at worst you have the regular resin that many recasters use, which accepts paint and it easy to build with. At best, it is the HDP (high density polyurethane) stuff that is much stronger, more flexible, but probably cost much more. What they really need to do, is make a kit like this of the Ghost X-9 from Macross Plus, in 1/60. Now, that'd be a definite buy for me.
-
Alright, just sent payment in for the 1/60 Gernsback from FMP The Second Raid. Can't wait. It's pretty well accessorized. http://www.hlj.com/product/ALT20805

I've been forcing myself to watch the ADV dub just so I can say I did (or say I took one for the team at least). I don't think it's better than the Robotech version, or dub, but at the same time, the Robotech dub was made for a different audience. I can watch that over the english dub of Macross t.v. series. I have to watch that in Japanese, it's just very bad.
-
Cool, just hope it's "down the line", like as in October release.
-
Buy Buy Buy!!! 1/60 has me sold.
-
Wait, so the 1D w/ option parts completely sold out? Man, I have to preorder everything now just so I can cancel later on if I really don't want it.
-
I did find a guy willing to part with another VMF Minmay for about $600, so I'm probably going to bite on the deal. It's clean as well, so very happy. As for the plastic cover, I basically made my own of one. I put some vasoline on the head, then brushed on a rubber mold mix that I use for casting. After 4 hours, I took it off, and trimmed the excess. No problems with the hair now, and to apply the hair, I need only match up the rubber base to the hairline.
-
Got mine with the 1D w/ option parts. I haven't opened it up as my place is a bit of a mess, but it looks really cool. Congrats.
-
Yeah, hopefully, and thanks. Again, I don't want praise or anything like that, cause it really comes down to actually doing it if needed, but I would just hope someone would do it for me if push came to shove. I didn't even try for the YF-29, as I was prett over it after getting the first one, but this item is different. I'm setting aside $25/week for ths. That way, it'll be like it doesn't even see the bank money. I will say this, if they do put out this, then a Hikaru, I hope to have at least 3 total. 2 at least of this release, and 1 Hikaru. Afterall, Hikaru can only pilot one VF-4, right?
-
June would be totally OK if there weren't so many other things coming out same time. Still it wouldn't be Macross if it wasn't pressing the wallet.
-
Good luck, or I should say, I hope it came out alright. I imaging before doing that, I'm going to look on some online doll sites for those, and see if there's a tried and true methot to it. Since you're one of the only guys I know on here that has the VMF version as well, what outfit do you like better? I lean more towards the chinese dress version.
-
If get multiples, and there's someone who didn't get one at all, I'm selling it to them at my total cost of the one only. I would want anyone members here to be able to not get burned on this. Not doing this for kudos, or points, but if I ended up being one of those, I'd hope someone did it for me as well. Hope it all plays out good, we'll see.
-
That's why I'm putting like $20/week in a home savings case. By the time preorder for the VF-4 is around, I'm good to go.
-
A CF VF-4....YESSSSS!!! Hikaru can come later. I want a squadron of these.
-
I'm not too frantic over the paint scheme. For the Zero line, they kinda did the same thing, releasing the CF version before the Shin version. Either way, I'm not going to stress that it's not another Hikaru versioned VF. In all honesty, I'm kinda happy that it isn't. If it comes later, and at a more mass release, that would be great, and I'll still buy one, but no worries. As long as I can get x2 of this one.
-
Effin' Bad@$$!!! Definitely saving up for this.
-
If they announce another Elint, Max/Milia, I'm going to drop these orders in a heartbeat. If that happens, there better be Fast Packs with those, too.
-
Awesome, I just wish it came with the super parts.
-
Nice, there's not a lot of people I know that have invested in one of these guitars. I had thought about the Les Paul style bridge, but having one already, I needed something much more different. It did take awhile to get used to the 513, as it has many sound configurations, and that 3rd p/u in the middle can take some getting used to if you're a heavy pick to string player, but after some adjustment, I'd take this over any model Fender (even my good ol' American strat) any day. I know this is O/T, but what amp do you play yours through?
-
Ohhhhh, color coordinated! I like it.
-
True. I guess this guitar will have similar shipping problems, being this is supposed to be a Japan only deal. The only problem I have with the guitar, is that for all the look, it doesn't have the sound, nor the feel I look for in a guitar. If I bought it, I'd have no idea how it sounds, feels, plays, etc. it's an expensive shot in the dark, unless you're buying it just for the replica portion of it. IF I can find one to try out without buying, and it has all those things I look for in a guitar without the price being higher than the worth, I may consider it. In any case, this is what I have for now, aside from a Gibson Les Paul Studio, and a Fender Strat:

It probably is, as the room looks a little dim, and there's no flash to highlight the colors. In anycase, it does look very reminiscent of the 1/48 stealth, but better. can't wait till mine comes in.
