One of the online retailers mentioned there being a secret valk, so here's to hoping... (Elint, Elint, Elint) Regarding the wing-sweep, I think that they will technically ALL do wing sweep, it's just that all the previous Supers had their wings glued. Bet that if you worked the wings on your de-missiled 1S and 1Js, they would eventually free up.

Should be about $45.00 or so.

I agree with the both of you. It's a nice bike. I also agree that the large Gakken is the best yet.

Got my "on the water" notice from TMP about a week ago. Will soon possess SV-51. Check.

Looks pretty ok in armor mode, but that bike... It would be nice if someone did a sculpt that was more heavily biased toward the cycle mode.

$60.00-$65.00 + Shipping $55.00 + Ship Normal for the armor. $65.00 + Ship $25.00 + Ship That's a TRU 1A. Too bad it's loose.$25.00 + Ship Hope this helps.

I went looking for some of the same info about a month ago. Found some good threads here: http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?show...1&hl=custom http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?show...3&hl=custom ...and here... Specific Mods: Thigh-Swivel Mod - Skull-1 Thigh-Swivel Mod - BigF Nose Blister Mod and some cool links here... Examples BigF Custom Chunkie Jasonc VT-1 KidKorrupt's Homepage KidKorrupt's Portfolio Jung's Homepage Skull-1 VT-1 Skull-1 1J "Harriska"

Chunky loving is not all that it's made out to be :lol:

Yep, like Graham, it depends upon the valk... However, mine are mostly pointing forward in various degrees. The 1Ss and 1As point forward, like ~45 degrees on the S and 60 degrees on the As. The 1J's I run at about 10 degrees forward.

Thanks for the link/heads-up. I just caved and preordered one

Bah. I'm sure they'll appear sometime. Might be 2015, but they'll eventually release 'em.

Yep, there is just something about those chunkies... Yamatos are cool and all, but the 1/55s just have soul that the newer stuff can't match.

To add to that list, ser. 2 is: 1) Hikaru DYRL 1A, 2) Max 1J, 3) VT-1 Ostrich, 4) Minmay Paris Act, 5) Roy 1S Super, 6) Hikaru DYRL 1A Super If there's going to be a chase figure, I'd really like a VF-1D or a VE-1. Other possibilities might be a Kakizaki 1A (in DYRL or TV trim, super or non), DYRL Max 1A, DYRL Max 1S, or even cooler, a Rabbit-Shuttle Since I've got twenty of these on order (2 boxes), there should be plenty of spares to go around once I've picked out my set. To help people avoid Ebay fleecing, I'll be happy to offer up my extras to board members at cost.

I don't rightly know. I guess, someone's got to do it

Yep, me too, my old nemesis.

Both of the VF-1S's that I have, have been picked up for trifles here on the board. You can get one loose, with most of the accessories for under 20 bucks... Though, a complete one, in-box, with all accessories will typically reach about $150.00... Hope this helps.

cool8or, very nice work! Thanks for posting the pics!

My standards are set pretty low I'll admit, but I found my holy grail a few months ago : http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?show...st&p=495826

Actually, I don't think that anyone explicitly stated that... But you are correct in that there would likely be only one 1S in any give flight group/squadron. My guess is that Hikaru was still flying a VF-1A in that scene.

I just purchased an AutoArt 1:18 automotive model (not Macross, but definitely on-topic), which features extensive tampo printing. The AutoArt website has an interesting description of the process here. Here is a picture of my acquisition, showing the very high level of tampo printing (all markings are tampo printed, not decals):

Pink and yellow. ...oops, wait, we already have a pink and yellow valk on the way. Nevermind.

One of the well-known customs of JMs are to tell really bad jokes. They all do that.

Prepare for the ribbing.

Dang Z, that's nuts! Looks like you're having fun!

Very nice JeffQ. I see that you rescribed the panel lines on the chestplate and backplate to appear more VF-1D-like. That's the main thing that has bugged me about that kit. Great work
