HWR MKII Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 toys..... Those are for those who dont have the testicular fortitude to build models. Unless of course the subject is only available as a toy. then a model builder will buy said toy and dismantle it to make it into a model. Quote
specr0101 Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 toys..... Those are for those who dont have the testicular fortitude to build models. Translation: Those without "balls" Quote

Viceland Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 So it's official then? toy collectors can now be refered to as castrates, geldings, or eunuchs? Quote
HWR MKII Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 ONLY if they dont build models. I know alot of model builders here also have toys. lol just dont call them untermench Quote

Fly4victory Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 Welcome to the boards Fly4victory. introduce yourself to the crew. nice bunch of people on this board. just don't talk to the toy boys... they can be kinda spooky sometimes. 390392[/snapback] Same story as most, too many models, not enough time. First resin was VF-4 by Hobbyfan, have SHE YF-19 and VF-5000 plus numerous Hasegawa and some samurai monkey scattered about. Built Imai models in the 80's benefit of living in Cali back then, discovered Robotech in 85, Macross Plus in College. Jumped from models to lego mechs and now back into models. Joined the post to get into the growing lineup for TV ghost aircraft models. Intend to display macross zero ghost, VF-0 ghost combined jet and battroid, and TV ghost. But need new dispaly case? Also need new house? ...so I can get more models. Quote
Grayson72 Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 OK How much? And who's taking orders? 390641[/snapback] Your name's on the list dude Quote
007-vf1 Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 I received it today..awesome kit... I had the impression it would be a bit bigger..but the details on the resin..Oh boy is virtually perfect...no bubbles.. Thanks a bunch Thorsten Quote
honneamise Posted April 18, 2006 Author Posted April 18, 2006 (edited) I received it today..awesome kit...I had the impression it would be a bit bigger..but the details on the resin..Oh boy is virtually perfect...no bubbles.. Thanks a bunch Thorsten 391899[/snapback] Wow that was fast... I had expected the kits were still in Germany because of the Easter days... the postal service guys are faster than I thought The kit is getting bigger during assembly... no, really - the main body doesn´t look like much but once you have added everything it´s not that small anymore, only slightly less length than a VF-1. Anyway, I really hope you like it! Edited April 18, 2006 by honneamise Quote
specr0101 Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 Wow... can't wait till I get mine. How many are you able to turn out per week? Quote
honneamise Posted April 18, 2006 Author Posted April 18, 2006 Wow... can't wait till I get mine. How many are you able to turn out per week? 391954[/snapback] No time to make more this week, but next week I´ll start working on the next 20 kits, might take 2-3 weeks from then. I´ll work my way downward the list, so don´t worry if you haven´t received a PM yet. I don´t want to collect money for kits that need several weeks for delivery. And I will replace the molds in time, so you don´t need to worry that kit No 61 comes from a lousy worn out mold! Quote
Less than Super Ostrich Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 Got mine yesterday. The detail is exquisite. There are some truly fine details. The panel lines are all crisp... even for this very small size. The walls of certain parts are paper thin (as they should be), yet surprisingly strong. Limited flash and no warped pieces. I haven't had a chance to test fit everything, but I'm optimistic about what I've seen so far. Wonderful project. Expertly cast too. The seam line on the main fuselage is in as good as place as possible. This is my major gripe with most resin kits... not this one! Honneamise is equally good at casting as he is scratchbuilding. By the way, the artwork on the box is a very nice touch. Honneamise painted it himself. You are truly a well rounded artist!!! Quote
Viceland Posted April 22, 2006 Posted April 22, 2006 I second everything LTSO said above, I got mine yesterday and they are simply incredible kits! I'm very impressed. So honneamise, what are you gonna build for us next? Quote
Grayson72 Posted April 23, 2006 Posted April 23, 2006 Got mine today as well, dude you rock! Oh warning for all though, the open missile racks for the sides weren't in bags but mixed in with all the paper confetti, don't throw them away. Quote
HWR MKII Posted April 23, 2006 Posted April 23, 2006 OOO he could do a type of expanded universe thing. Make a launch booster for the VF-0 like John made for the VF-1. I was thinking of making some missile pods for the VF-1 series based on the VF-0 ones to meld the time difference better. Quote
Sdf-1 Posted April 23, 2006 Posted April 23, 2006 (edited) How about Daedalus or Prometheus? Yeah they don't exactly fly, but... Hmm, I need a Prometheus... I just remembered one of my diorama ideas... Edited April 23, 2006 by Sdf-1 Quote
HWR MKII Posted April 23, 2006 Posted April 23, 2006 In 1/72 scale SDF? ARE YOU FRAKKIN NUTS! lol Quote
Sdf-1 Posted April 23, 2006 Posted April 23, 2006 Hell yeah!!! Did we talk about 1/72? Well, if there is enough of resin in Germany for that I suppose... Quote
Less than Super Ostrich Posted April 23, 2006 Posted April 23, 2006 Just thought I'd share some comparison pics. You can see the kit and the nice packaging Some nice detail, eh? See a comparison in size with the Hasegawa Valk Here's a profile Comin' at ya Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted April 23, 2006 Posted April 23, 2006 WOW!!! LTSO, it's time for new WIP thread on building this puppy. Quote
Less than Super Ostrich Posted April 23, 2006 Posted April 23, 2006 (edited) I dremelled out the back to make it a little lighter. Why? Not sure... probably because I can't leave well enough alone. In the process I knicked the insides of where the rear underside airbrakes go. I could just put the airbrakes in a close position, which would solve all my problems, but I think I wanted to do a Ghost just landing on a runway with the rear arrestor extended. Edited April 23, 2006 by Less than Super Ostrich Quote
boinger Posted April 23, 2006 Posted April 23, 2006 Wow! The ghost models look great! Thanks a bunch! Quote
honneamise Posted April 24, 2006 Author Posted April 24, 2006 Thanks LTSO for sharing the pics! I should have done something similar but I never even came close to this assembly stage This time it seems that I´m not the first one to actually finish one of my kits! As for the dremelled out speed brake housings, I´d just take proper, thin plastic sheet, drill holes in it and glue them onto the remains of the old parts, the breaks don´t need to fit if they´re glued in open position.

Gabe Q Posted May 2, 2006 Posted May 2, 2006 I just got mine today. I really like the way it came out. It's really well done. It looks great, thanks. Quote
Gundamhead Posted May 2, 2006 Posted May 2, 2006 Any rough timeline when I might need to come up with the cash for mine? Quote
honneamise Posted May 10, 2006 Author Posted May 10, 2006 Second run almost complete, PMs will follow in the next few days. I´ve been planning it for quite some time now, but the Ghost box art is now available as colour print at last. For those who haven´t got a kit yet , it is the same image that you can can see featured on the main page this month - I´ve managed to win the "fan art of the month contest" with the painting - thank you all for voting!!! The print is the same size as the original painting, 50X40cm, printed on water-resistant(? I still wouldn´t try but that´s what the printing company says), UV-proof, heavy-stock 160gr/m² paper, extra matt finish, no white border. The price is EURO 26,- each and shipping is 8,- international or 4,50 within Europe. I have got only three at the time but I can order more if there is demand. Just post here or PM me if you want one. I´ll post this in the for sale section as well in case a "non-modeler" is interested as well. Quote
nanashino Posted May 12, 2006 Posted May 12, 2006 I got the kit about a week ago and its freaking beautiful!! Thank you so much honneamise-you are the best! Any chance you'll make a Super Bird kit? ^o^ The Nameless Advisor www.macrossmecha.info Quote
