VF-1 Ultimate Detail Kit

[Ishimaru]

The kit alot of us have been looking and hardly most of us get thier hands on .

Any news on the kit me, jorwar, and the other people have been waiting for a while to get this kit. ..Whats with the hold up I know that the kits are now hard to find I just want one of my own . Any news or details on it besides knowing the Hobbyfan is sold out and dunno if they are restocking. Just does anyone know any news about this kit being distributed and availability.

Yah I saw Valks on eBay but $350 is he nuts or something!! Id pay maybe $250 max but $350 is tooo much Valk outa change the price if he wants some1 like mee to buy it(Im for real though). We could do the 15 people thing but we realy need 15 people and we realy need a cheap price . Ask them if they are willing to do it and see if the price is cheaper than Hobbyfan.. And actually get these damm kits

That's an original and is a collectors item, $350 is inline with the value of that kit.

Also, If you're looking for cheap resin kits or cheap collectors Macross models you're gonna be dissapointed a lot.

Check again. It's GBP 350 (Great Britan Pounds) which is US $630.00.

Supply and demand my friend. For the real deal on this kit, expect to take out a loan.

Id hold off on that kit for a while until you have experience with resin kits. They can be a bear. Also the Hobbyfan one IS the cheapest one around because its a recast or copy of the Club-M one. Recasts are generally frowned upon but this one doesnt get as much flak because of its rarity and there seems to be a shift at some point of the creators customer service attitude. If you can get one i say hold off on building it for at least 3 more years until you have alot more experience under your belt.

Agree with HWR on this point, not only is it a resin kit, it's the most complex resin kit I've seen not to mention it has photo etch parts which is a whole other can of worms.

When I first came aboard Macrossworld the message board was very archaic. It was basically formated like a newsgroup. There was an original Club_M Ultimate Valk available for sale on it but the seller wouldn't take less than $1500 for it. I'm glad he didn't take my offer because I was able to get an original for FAR less. I am scared to build the original though. I sometimes consider getting the recast to build.

But the garage kit "industry" is hitting us Galactica fans hard so it'll have to wait. Gotta pay for some Oberth's first.

Coby send me a PM with the price for miniG Id love to get one. If it turns out well enough ill even let you use the pics for boxart. Im working on my 2nd UD strike right now, Just finishes a little preshading . The key to this kit is take it one step and part at a time.

Oh and by the way, what is your avatar mech from? I have really been loving that design ever since you started useing it.

[HWR MKII]

My avatar is Metal Gear Rex from the game on the PS1 and GC. I also scratchbuilt a model of it since none was available i have pics of its 95% complete form in the whats on our workbench thread. Go have a peek. Im going to make a better one in january when i get back from deployment, I want to see if SSM might cast it but i dont want to say more until i actually have the master made. This one was easy to make so the second one should be quicker and better
