Haha me too. I was getting frustrated till I remembered that all I did was use the pegs from the boosters on the underside.

That's the infamous irspiff's armor for the Yamato 1/72 VF-11.

Wow! Was just reading that post. That was some time ago, before I joined. That's pretty awesome he made a kit for that though I couldn't see most pics ( maybe 1 still worked). He also had a cool Monster made.

You making a custom APS-11 or is that an Experten kit?

Btw, just looked at your gallery and loved that Monster. You did quite a bit of rearranging.

I know the licence is a mess, so it makes seeing this come to fruition nearly impossible. But what exactly is it about the Macross licence that makes it impossible? there's some kind of crap with Harmony gold, but I don't know the whole story. You don't have to try to explain it if y'all don't want to, just pointing me in the right direction would be fine.

But seriously, this would be fricking amazing. If we can see this in my lifetime, things would be great. When I have kids they'll get introduced to Macross, because I have SDFM and M0 on DVD, and all the other series on a HD, and a bunch of the toys...

http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=36541. It's a good read.

That lighting and metallic finish makes it pop!

Just finished listening to Episode 21. Great job guys! Haha! I remember those dollar bins at Jelly's buying whole series for the cheap!

@ derex nice diamond! I don't have a Detolf but just got a teak curio display. I can currently fit 7 VF-1's on a Yetistand that takes up a little over half a shelf . 4 is doable.

@ Saburo what type of adapter is that? The 5mm peg?

Pretty cool!

You should check out the 1/100 Toynami thread in this section for more info on this line.

Nice hauls everyone!

It is nowadays if it's the weathered version set like it's listed and Arcadia ain't releasing sets to satisfy our demands for the regular S/S parts. The parts set alone must be around 18000 yen last check. Nice grabs at the expo and con.

Hmm, 19440 yen. Will have to think about this one.

Nothing too spectacular. Might go with a MtF VF-1J and dunno if I can do it but either a VF-1X++ early version or later version for the other. As for the VF-1S, might do a low viz (since I don't have one) and the other one will leave for later.

Very nice!

Will do!

Thanks to lechuck and Froy I can try giving these customs a go.

Strange. I just ordered a Macross the ride visual book via Amazon Japan no problem with my US account. Shipped super fast too. Also got to place this preorder.

This is as far as I dare go. It's missing a thruster as I broke it while pulling it out. Didn't need it anyway. Locations for where I think are Cover plates for the screws on the other side.

Cover plates (guessing):

anyone who was able to get theirs? was there an instruction on how dis-assemble the Boosters from Super parts?

This is only my guess but there are 3 screws that need to be taken out. The front half of the booster has two cover plates that can come off exposing one screw. The front tip can be removed by carefully using a exacto knife to help pry it out. The next two screws are guesstimates as I couldn't get to them as they are hidden behind two cover plates and might be glued. I'm basing my guess while prying the front a little I could see spots where two screws should be to connect both halves of the booster. They are both on the inner facing side of the boosters. One is on the bottom rear most trapezoid with the two white stripes you can tell because it is the only one that looks like it has a gap. The other one is a small trapeziod shape as it is the only one there. Hope this helps or if anyone figures out how to get to those two out please show us.

Or if you're talking about the smaller thrusters, you can use a needle nose plier and slowly pull them out and avoid all the headache of getting the boosters apart.

Also thank you to lechuck for the goods even though I thought it was a long shot that he still had the items! Easy to communicate with and the items arrived packed nice and safe!

Edit 2/19/15: Wanted to add Froy to the list! Products came in quickly and packaging was excellent!

This is a pretty cool project you got going on here. You should put this in the workshop section too.

Count me in for one.

For everyone's' excitement. Pictures from last week:

That looks like the prototype on display at a store (Volks Hobby Heaven 5th floor?) not the final colored ones shown at Wonderfest. Here is the same one:

Does this actually provide materials and instruct you in the assembly or does it just goes into detail of a 1/2400 papercraft model that they built instead?

Thanks to Shawn I finally got a brownie! Super fast shipping and arrived safely!
