CrazyDude Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 1/144 HG Dendrobium is indeed a huge Box and an even bigger Build. IIRC, correctly close to 1m in length.
Gakken85 Posted February 5, 2014 Author Posted February 5, 2014 nice score davidwhangchoi ...didn't know they made a 1D kit, nice gundam kit as well..,that thing is massive! Your really getting into the HT now hey Gakken85 ?.... can you post the pic of the Star Ship troopers power armor when you open him ....never seen one before I'll do video reviews of them all
CrazyDude Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Actually the suit is NOT from Starship Troopers but a Studio NUE original Design. Rebuilding the 1/12 Plastic Model kits (Phase 1 & Phase 2) now, also got the 1/20 Action Figure. Banzai released a Vinyl Kit from the Starship Troopers Anime, best book adaptation.
eggy99 Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Just received this 1/60 VF-1S kit for my birthday (via HK Collectables). Now I have 2 VF kits I need to build. T_____T Hoping to go for a Low Visibility scheme (like the 1/48 VF-1A Low Vis) on one, and the other in a Black Aces inspired scheme. No idea when I will actually start. I barely have time to watch TV anymore now that I'm a father.

Raya1823 Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) Haha, you'll need to add Bandai's VF-1S Joke Machine and Bandai's 1/100 VF-1S Hi-metal to that list then.. Especially the JM, its a georgeouse small piece of toy for an early 80's production. Heck you'll need a squadron of em! hehehe, you must mean this guy... Edited February 5, 2014 by hazray13
aaajin Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 hehehe, you must mean this guy... yes! thats the one. Youre always one step ahead of people's suggestions. And you'll need multiples!
Newtype78 Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 I am the happy new owner of the super parts and Ghost set for the Renewal RVF-25! To be honest, I am not a big fan of super parts on the RVF-25 but I think the Ghosts are essential for any owner of Luca's VF.
Raya1823 Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 I'm back!! LOL, thanks to dizman I finally got my v1 VF-1J and VF-1D. The v1 collection is now complete. Guess its time to move to ver 2s. Oh Damn.
Gakken85 Posted February 6, 2014 Author Posted February 6, 2014 V1 collection.. That's hardcore bro. haha
aaajin Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) This just came in. Wanted to test how fast a registered SAL is to my address, so ordered some cheap Bandai stands from Amiami and they all arrived in 1 week. Pretty fast from Japan to MN, US...but I guess speed is YMMV with SAL. EDITED : OK, I just figured out how to hook up the VF-22S / YF-21 battroid with this stand! An extremely simple mod with no extra parts. Just need to trim one side of the crotch holder and walla! As for the YF-19, Im hooking it up like the ones in this thread : http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=27002 I'll still need EXO's adapters for fighter mode though! Sorry for being out-of-topic. Just got excited! Edited February 6, 2014 by aaajin

close313 Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 I had some of them that held my old frontier kits. I wouldnt put anything heavy on them though and move them around much.
funkymonkeyjavajunky Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 here's my 3 low viz's I'm curious where you acquired them.
aaajin Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 How sturdy are those stands for the 1/60 Yamato's? Lots of wobble? I had some of them that held my old frontier kits. I wouldnt put anything heavy on them though and move them around much. The connectors hold the valks pretty securely. There is some wobbling, but that comes from the stand itself, being only a piece of rectangular rod holding a suspended mass, which is normal.
close313 Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 When it's new it is fairly tight and sufficient to hold heavy stuff. When its old as mine, it cant hold safely even if I tightened the screws. The main problem for mine is that the smaller cylindrical bar disconnects from the larger one too easily when forces act on the side.
aaajin Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) maybe you played with them too much? Im leaving mine as they are, or will even consider glueing the connector if they do become loose by time. I mean, the stand costs $4 a pop, (or $6 if you factor in shipping with SAL to the US)... Edited : I guess these will be very suitable for posing valks in battroid or straight/levelled fighter mode as there is only downward force. I havent tried slanted/banked fighter poses, as I'll need EXO's adapters to be able to do that, but I do remember seeing those (banked fighter poses) in one of the threads..
