And thank you fellow Zentradi ace pilot. I was thinking black for panel lining but I guess gray makes more sense in the long run. Anyway, thanks again for the help, much appreciated.

Sounds like it depends on personal experience and how you handle it. Good to see it has a "stomach" joint of some type. To David: Thanks, that is an interesting method but I don't want to do anything too extensive really. I only build snap models because I don't enjoy building resin models with glue and cement and I don't want to paint anything so the most I want to do is apply stickers. I think I will do panel lining too but I am going to go for the method of using a marker to individually doing each line. I may panel line before assembling to make it easier for me. As for the gundam markers themselves is there a good place to get them or any generic thin tipped marker since I don't have one anymore? I can probably find it by searching but I figure someone here would know a good place. I'm going to re-post my other questions on decals and such since I am still looking for answers: Second question, I am familiar with stickers but a lot of people seem to like decals more and until recently I had no idea how they worked. Now I know they involve water to apply but I am still really confused about them. How exactly do you apply decals? Also since I am so new to that idea do you think I should just stick with stickers instead?

No problem man. Take you time and pace yourself. No one should be impatient for anything anymore now that the show is done. Yes.. I may want to watch the finale again....

Ok, I have questions. I don't plan on getting the Alto because I'm waiting for the Ozma (debating whether to preorder form RanbowTen or wait for HLJ preorder). However when I get that I want to sticker/decal it and panel line it. I've done stickers before and I remember trying panel lining once in the past on a gundam 1/144 model (can't remember how it turned out, I don't have the model anymore). My questions include, for panel lining a lot of people seem to recommend something called a gundam marker. The time I tried it I think I just used a really thin-tipped marker, so is this gundam marker better for this and where can I get one? Also is some time of washing method necessary or is that for if you mess up? Second question, I am familiar with stickers but a lot of people seem to like decals more and until recently I had no idea how they worked. Now I know they involve water to apply but I am still really confused about them. How exactly do you apply decals? Also since I am so new to that idea do you think I should just stick with stickers instead? Ok, that was 3 questions I guess, I lied. Actually I wonder something else too, whether or not it would be easier to apply stickers or decals to the parts before building it, it might be easier but I am not sure.

Heh, guess I don't get Frontier firing Macross cannon since the cannon was damaged. Oh well, there wasn't even a complete transformation either. However a gif of Battle Frontier doing the Macross attack on Galaxy (after Quarter does it, or maybe both of them doing it) would be cool. Big sized gif would be nice, but it might be possible to fit the Battle Frontier bit in an avatar sized one. Anyway do this whenever you can, no rush, just something that would be interesting.

Yeah, I like metric so much better than the imperial system and I am an American who was raised with feet and pounds. Metric makes so much more sense though.

I hate having to wait so long to see these, but now I finally have with subs and all. A magnificent end to a magnificent series. I can never begin to describe how good this episode was, but I bet everyone has already said it. Too bad we didn't see Frontier fire it's big honkin' space gun, but we got Macross attack instead, and that is just as good. Now, on to the next one. The Frontier movie and anything that lies ahead in Macross' future!

Amazing, I think that is really well done. I always imagine what some of these songs would sound like in english.

Ok that makes a little more sense, so with decals you have to dip them in water and then they will stick to the model? (just making sure I get it). So this model comes with both stickers and decals or just one type? Also Morpheus, great pics, the model still looks really great even without and coverings!

I'm sure they will make all of them, and probably a VF-27 eventually too, but those fan made ones look amazing on their own. I want to get Ozma and Mikhail valks! Ok, quick question that shows my ignorance since I usually only build models that are pre-painted. What is the difference between stickers and decals? They sound the same to me. Also the panel lining can be done with a simple thin tipped marker right? If so I may just do stickers and panel lining for mine so they look good because I don't like painting models and I want more than bare bones white (or gray in Ozma's case).

Agreed.

Big Frontier pic finally! I just love seeing that monster every time.

That review makes it looks amazing. I want to wait for the Ozma but at this price I might just get the Alto model. Will take forever for me to build since I have so little free time these days but it should be worth it. I have to ask, and no I have not checked the rest of the thread because I don't have the time, does it have to be painted for it to be anything other that white or is it all stickers? I don't like painting models so that could be a turn off for me. If it is stickers then I can live (I find it annoying to put them on sometimes though). Also does it come with that white stand?

We can only continue to hope. I shall wait as always.. but the Ozma 1/72 model is looking really good right now.

Wow this thing looks so nice. I wasn't going to get the model but I think I might buy the Ozma model when it comes out since it is a good price and I am a little depressed at the latest pics of the 1/60 DX.

Thank you.. *sighs* Must wait for reviews... must wait for reviews... must wait for reviews... It would have been my first valk, probably not the best choice, maybe I should just go and get one of the new 1/60 Yamato VF-1s as my first. At least I know it will look good. I'm not giving up on the 25 just yet, people don't get to say 'I told you so' until the final thing is in stores and then it turns out bad. I really like the 25 in the show, so I have to give it a chance. Till December then.

Using spoiler tags for people that aren't watching the final episodes of Frontier currently airing (this is about the 1/60 toy just so everyone knows):

Finally watched... wow, there is not enough I can say about this. Amazing episode, can't wait to see the end, even though there will be no more after that (still hoping for movies or OVA).

If that is true then this is interesting. Sounds like the series will continue with a movie then... if it is true.

So we are to resort to the same thing the crew of Macross Quarter did when SMS was being absorbed into NUNS? I'm game, lol.

That works for most people, but some like me want the numbers, and engineer never stops thinking about these things.

Perhaps, but let us remember the VF-25 utilized Ex Gears to help the pilot, I bet they help deal with G's better than the old flight suits. As for the VF-27, they said that only cyborgs can pilot it because it is too much for a human body to handle. Sounds like Mr March has a lot to add to M3 now, this is amazing info!

Not bad, but very skinny... in a way it isn't chunky monkey enough.

After much waiting until I could get a good copy of the episode and subs I finally saw this. A good episode, basically a calm before the storm kind of story. Ranka and Brera finally know they are related. Brera seems to be under Grace's clutches now though. There will be a noble sacrifice I bet. I find it interesting that Grace's cockpit VR looks like her normal VR, and she is a Colonal. The next two episodes will be non stop.

Finally a higher res of Battle Frontier pic, thanks. It is so pretty.
