fulcy Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 Nope - chunky monkeys are a thing of the past - we've got 1/48's now, so why try to make the 1/55's what they aren't? Quote

Customizing these is/was one of the best parts about them. Many people on these boards still seek parts to, at least, do their very own 1/55 custom. Don't hate, , give support, , and extend an olive branch (advice) to all those seeking a bit of mad-chunky-monkey-madness of their own. *I can still remember, there were some pretty awesome customs back in the days, and even to this day. NB4M Long live the 1/55!! Quote

NB4M Long live the 1/55!! 327568[/snapback] Yeah If anything they are a cheap form to use as a custom. Try your ideas out on a cheap Jetfire of Vf1. If they work do it again on a 1/48. If it doesnt youve only lost a few bucks instead of potentialy a couple of hundred. Yove goto remember the roots of the Macross toys. For us thirtysomthings the Bandais and the glue to gether kits were all we had for years so some of us are still sentimental about the old chunkies. Fulcy Your translated guide is right there very informative and I have a copy on my computer for reference. Do you still have a link to your hip mod guide I saw somthing about it once but cant find it now Edited September 11, 2005 by big F Quote

U trying to insinuate something there boy? OH!!!!!!! YOU JUST WAIT till I do a step by step jetfire to lawn dart conversion walkthrough complete with archery broadheads to make it even more dangerous than before I personally love working with what I have excess of. I don't have spare 1/48 gbp-1s armor lying around to make a custom musha set out of that I can recast... I do have spare 1/55... easy choice for me... unless your felling generous that is Quote
big F Posted September 15, 2005 Author Posted September 15, 2005 They are the easy choice especially as 1/48`s are not cheap and it kinda worries me when I put the decals on one let alone paint it. Quote

Still, I am not 100% sure I totally like the proportions of the 1/48. Quote
