    So for the first time (because it just dawned on me) I tried to put the VF-0 Gunpod into a V.2 1/60 VF-1 fixed-pose hand... Nope, no way that is fitting. I'd either have to trim the Gunpod down or drill out the hands. Time to search for alternatives.

    That was my Plan B, however I would love to have a set of actual VF-0 hands. If I can find some spare Yamcadia fixed pose hands, I'll just have to customize them.

    I've tried the VF-1 V.2 hands but the pegs are to thin so sadly they don't fit.

    Yep, bringing an older thread back to life. After taking my Yamato & Arcadia VF-0's out of the boxes and enjoying them for a bit, I remembered again that I do NOT like the hands on these toys. Has anyone out ever made or considered making Fixed-Pose hands for these?

    @Slave IV This was definitely a great find! Wish I had more spare $$$, I wouldn't mind getting a few more. @sqidd Thank you sir!

    So I finally emptied out my Public-Storage unit (One less monthly bill) and found these, I saw this big box and kept wondering... what's in that one?? (Mark Watney voice) Surprise!

    @peter That SDF-1 looks pretty damn good to me. Panel lining is great and the ARMD's are nicely detailed! Congrats on your Macross kit.

    That's what I would do, I haven't finished building my 1/48 kit yet but they are very well detailed... prefect for a UN Navy Squadron.

    Nice, these look awesome!!!! Are you making a Navy Low-Vis out your Hasegawa kit?

    I've used HLJ since 2007 and knock on wood no issues. They are my go to shop next to AmiAmi

    Well if NY does come to our forums, they should read this: Try to be HLJ or AmiAmi, I have never had any issues with them, even when I had to cancel a PO with AmiAmi they we're cool about it, I give both those good grades for shipping, comm & service. The more I see these posts about NY, I can see why I don't even acknowledge them for purchases even if it;s a TWE, for those who shelled out that huge sum of $$$ for the VF-0D, I certainly hope you get it. Bad enough they rammed a lot you with VF-31A fiasco.

    Almost forgot about this project, so yeah, same question... how's it progressing?

    Like others I;ll probably just wait til release date & see if I get lucky with HLJ. Usually you can snag one that day & pretty much at PO price. For right now my Yamato's will do nicely.

    Haven't watched that in ages!

    Watched "Da 5 Bloods" on Netflix the other night. After Spike Lee's BlacKkKlansman (which I really enjoyed) I was actually intrigued with this movie. Best way to sum it up is this "Spike had an idea & a story and then it just collapsed". The Huey was a poorly CGI'ed model, gun sound effects are almost muted at times, can't tell whether the M-16's/AK-47's were firing blanks or that was CGI too? The action scenes when there in Wartime Vietnam are borderline boring. You never really get a sense of this tight bond brotherhood or that the 5th member who died in the War was either the best friend you ever had or the bravest soldier of all time. It's implied yet you never see it unfold on screen. (The combat scenes from Dead Presidents is so superior to this movie it's criminal). The landmine field and few other shots were done well and the humor Spike threw in work well and I genuinely laughed. There is one scene where the main character almost loses it (mentally) on a boat and the actor nailed the scene, you feel his anger, anxiety, depression & regrets. Overall it's not a terrible movie but I feel Spike Lee would have been better off to quadruple check this story, what to keep & what to cut as the flow feels choppy at times and above all the runtime... 2-1/2 hours long.

    That's definitely the cheaper $$$ option!
  23. 505thAirborne
    Yep, you'll need to wait for the Limited edition Hikaru TV 1S release!
  24. 505thAirborne
    I like it, colors look good on the armor & proper red tipped missiles.

    For those still looking for Hikaru's DX VF-1S: https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1128769927&ref=list&keyword=Macross&lang=en Hey @no3Ljm Feels like it's been awhile since I've seen you posting here, same goes for @Shizuka the Cat And that is without a doubt TV style colored Fast Packs w/UN Spacy kite & Red tipped Missiles.
