My wallet says - Phew! No interest. Now had they done something like a limited Alaska Base diorama - with 1/60 Spartan, Kitchen Sink and Alaska Base 1A set - that would be amazing. Where the plane could be lowered into the base and other creative features. But hey - like I said - I feel $1,000 richer that they decided to do this instead . . .

Yes.

Completely agree. Here is something Bandai just released for their RS Dunbine line: The Fow, a vehicle never in toy form before, that was in almost evert episode of the show: • Gate and cloud diorama from the OP • Pilot figures • Mini glider Wish Arcadia would go beyond the standard hero mechs into creativity like this . . .

What Current Anime Are You Watching Version v4.0
DarrinG replied to wolfx's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
To Dunbine episodes 16 and 17 where they break through to Upper Earth, Tokyo. Really great action, scenes well done, enjoying the series a lot. Here is Garlaria in the Aura Battler Bostune -- cutting a copter in half . . .

Here is the first Yamato 1/24th Unit 2 I've seen come up for auction in months. 35,000 is on the upper end of pricing, but if you've been looking for a Unit 2 I would grab it . . . https://www.rinkya.com/en/auction-175849986

. . . I didn't know the Spartan transformed?!
-
If you google 'macross hasegawa box art' all those look great - or just note the flying skull-1 at the top of this forum. Then you add in the fact that the bright snow white will likely yellow worse over time --- and it leaves me wishing all Yamato and Arcadia valks would have been interpreted a little more rugged . . .
-
True - so that is one reason I am not really bummed. Their M&Ms will match my other TV valks as you point out.. But its a pure head-scratcher for me that given the choice to go with one way -- they chose the bright white. These are military killing machines no? And the anniversary 1J was a poor decision IMO, and now Alaska? Their choices seem awkward. But an M&M soon will get me stoked, and get a pre-order. Bring 'em on Arcadia! A Phalanx and Spartan would also have me singing their praises . . .
-
Fantastic display SS! Love that Cabinet. The giant drill bit is hilarious. Are those Raus snuggling?
-
Yep - has to be a nice, military darker green, like in the screen cap. But with them going with 'bright snow white' for the valks does not inspire confidence they will choose wisely with the green . . .
-
I REALLY hope its the M&M valks - enough waiting already. Phalanx too would be a sweet surprise ( not happening I know ) . . .
-
Great review Jenius. Makes me wish even more that Arcadia went with the light gray. It just looks so much more manly and war-machine like next to the new snow white release. An extendable or snap in antenna in Gerwalk would have been cool too . . .

A w w w w w - AWESOME! Great Pics!

The 2 parts in question are an upper leg / quad in an armored hip well. So if you lift the leg out or forward, the leg can come in contact with the back, or inside, of the armored plate. That is why I have the option of coating the inner rim of the armor (that is out of sight mostly) with something like nail polish or rubber cement . . .
-
How about a Destroid Spartan / Alaska Base double-pack? Now that would have me sit up and pre-order . . .
-
I guess I would be in for an Alaska Base 1A - but wish they would do the M&Ms next. When is WF ?
-
I O - we still need to see some Regult vs. Valk photos! ---- QUESTION: If a T-Rex soldier kit came up for auction or sale - how much might they go for these days? Just curious . . .

1/12 Investigation Unit going for 34,500! https://www.rinkya.com/en/auction-g134835277
-
The parts are not always in contact, just could be pretty often with normal posing. I'm pretty far into it with Tamiya acrylics - so I will do some small tests with rubber cement and clear nail polish. Will report back . . . thx for the tips . . .
-
If there 2 parts of a kit that are prone to rub and scratch paint off one another - what are some possible solutions? I was thinking of painting the one part ( that is much less visible ) with a few coats of rubber cement. So when the painted part comes in contact with it the cement would provide a smoother more slippery surface. But would that wear off? Other ideas?
-
It looks FLAWLESS! Nice work. We need to see some valks next to it to appreciate the scale though. Did you leave the water running - ?
-
WOW EI - Great Minerva Pic! Thanks for posting it. I do not have the larger Galleon kit in my possession yet, still at the RinkYa warehouse . . .
-
Here is a pic showing the size difference in the Galleon kits. --- IMO, WAVE should do this as their next w.h.a.m. release, with small figs of the crusher team to scale -- its the natural progression on the line: • Large Minerva with mini fighters and mini Galleon - done • Large fighters with medium Galleon - done • Large Galleon with mini figures - ? I picked up the larger Galleon kit just in case WAVE does not follow my advice . . .

Here is a build-up link to a 1/100 SMS Jagd Doga resin kit: http://www.gundamsite7.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=1333&st=0 Looks good, but a modern MG version would not only be easier to build, but much more articulated . . .
