Don't know if this is the right place for this question, but why are some pics posted as thumbnails and others posted in a larger size? How do you choose between the two?

Chunky at the rave

I can't believe that I lived in Ashikaga-shi, Tochigi for a full year and didn't know HLJ was in Sano, only a 15 minute train ride! Thats right when I was just becoming aware of Macross toys

Holy frak! This thing transforms?! You are my new hero

What this guy said. He speaks the truth.

Thanks for the advice. If only I had a job to steal boxes from

I'm moving soon and need to sell most of my 1/48s. I see most people charge around $20 for shipping. Does that include the packaging? How do you ship them? Do you just take them to UPS? I didn't see boxes at the post office that looked to be the right size. And I don't have any proper size boxes just lying around the house. I've sold one 1/48 on here and I just happened to have the perfect box that time. I realize I could just take one down to UPS and ask them for an estimate, but I thought someone here might be able to save me a trip, or help someone else save on shipping. Thanks!

Looks great. I love the rivets.

Preach on brother. Couldn't have said it better myself.

I want one too but haven't seen many around.

Thanks for the advice. I'm going to try my 2nd pic and Johvic's first. I'll have to darken her skin a bit since I can't print white. Oh well, I'll have to settle for gyaru Ranka, with purple hair. I'm just not sure what to do with the white stockings. Anyone have advice on printing without white? Will it look ok if I leave the white stockings as is (printed clear), and just put them on a white colored valk?

I sucks in photoshop too, but decals were my motivation to get better (or learn anything about photoshop for that matter). I watched a few youtube tutorials and am finally about ready to try and print a set. Just have to resize them to fit a 1/55. Yeah, it would be nice if anasazi was still around, but he ain't. Anyway, being able to do your own gives you the freedom to make whatever decals you want! (except for white )

Thats a good one. I was hoping for one where I could see her whole body. Something that could extend down the length of the leg.

Gold.

I'm doing a 1/55 chunky Ranka Guard and could use some advice. It's basically a minmay guard moon act, with ranka switched in instead of minmay, and a few other minor changes. So, I need a shot of her for the chest plate, and one for the leg. I've got a few pics I could use, but was wondering if anyone else had any pics that they thought might work. These were the ones I was thinking about using. Thanks for any help!

Flexidisplay stands. I don't own any, but they look really cool. You can get them from LAF Toys.

I can't give you enough thanks for posting these

That is one ugly looking paint scheme. http://happywell.smeitrade.com/showroom/mo...d=1000001100213

Sorry to hear about your troubles. I've never panel lined any of my Yamatos. Does everyone disassemble them before doing the lining? I want to try but I'm worried that I'll never get my 1/48 or 1/60 back together again.

Thanks for the pics. I really want to see what one of these looks like panel lined.

I can never find anyone on Yahoo Japan auctions that is willing to ship outside of Japan. I also have to register my old japanese address. Does anyone else have the same problems?

My girlfriend keeps telling me I shouldn't get so excited over "toy robot photos", but I can't help it. Those are beautiful. MORE PHOTOS with varied lighting!

I'm in lawrence, ks. It's good to hear I'm not the only Macross fanatic in the area. All my friends think I'm nuts because of my hobby. RCJHKU

I own neither, but my vote is for the armored VF-0S. So sexy

Looking good. Can't wait to see how those missiles turn out
