ScrambledValkyrie Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 What are you ordering for the Scout? Model kit? Quote

I got no time to deal with painting and all that so I'll just wait for HMR if they ever release one. I'm sure they will eventually. Quote
borgified Posted June 15, 2019 Posted June 15, 2019 Took me couple of hours just figuring out how to place the three HMRs on the Trident stand (I have three more in storage) My idea was to put the VE-1 in the front and have Strike Roy and Silvie's Vf-2ss on the back, however it didn't work out, Had to settle with this instead. Silvie's 2ss in fighter mode is back heavy.. Quote
CHAVAKAISER Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 W.i.p to Hm-r launch arm Maybe 1/60 And 1/48 Quote

But you copied my mistake as well. The launch arm direction should be reversed (or the signal should be on the other side) I realized after I printed on my case. That's one of the things I'm revising on my model ATM *Edit: I realized the left and right side launch arm would be different and direction would be mirrored, so both cases are possible.

Slave IV Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 good stuff! the arm designs and custom valks Quote
seti88 Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 i dont know where to put this..... i melted when i saw it... Quote
seti88 Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 (edited) Lol good luck on that..It sounds like a toy made in china or taiwan...just makes me wish if bandai releases a HMR phalanx, that it could move too...or at least have missile shooting gimmicks! Edited June 17, 2019 by seti88 Quote
easnoddy Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 That would be pretty fantastic if it was an 80's toy. Quote

Any more information on if that is actually how it was made versus being customized to look like a Phalanx? If that is actually how it was made/sold, that factory needs to open up an aliexpress storefront stat! Quote

If that is actually how it was made/sold, that factory needs to open up an aliexpress storefront stat! I don't know anything about it, but it looks like a KO/bootleg of some kind. It says "Warrior" on it (instead of phalanx, I guess), but is sporting the UN Spacy kite for some reason. As cool as it is, these forums would have a collective meltdown if that were released as an official product, as it is pretty far off from what a phalanx is actually supposed to look like. Quote

easnoddy Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 Only the head and shoulder cannon are the issues. The normal Phalanx head is on the shoulder. The feet also, but that's likely due to the wheels. Its a pretty nice bootleg. Quote
rocketblast Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 Still no news on the next valkyrie that is coming out hmm.. I still have room in my closet for more. Tons of valkyries in there already but always on the look out Quote
borgified Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 Anyone want a HMR Gluag? Maybe the last unit from Amiami and a bit cheaper than Jungle at 10,780 yen (Item A, Box B) https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-015945-R Quote
jvmacross Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 Someone needs to do one of these at 1/100-ish..... It would be the mother of all Macross HMR dioramas.... https://www.shapeways.com/product/XL6Q62DEL/sdf-1-bridge-285 Quote

By my calculations, it would take up about a square meter at that scale... You've have to toss out that low-res junk and start over, I think. Quote
vlenhoff Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 it would be too massive. Maybe if they make it in a smaller scale 1/250 or so, it could be the size of a Monster, and you could use it as a background piece. Quote
DewPoint Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 The Bridge detail alone would be a massive undertaking at HMR scale. Full Bridge crew with multiple levels and maybe Minmay performing. It would be a sight to see though. Quote
Keq Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 VE-1 no flight stand ATM would have been good if it included one still a good looking HMR Quote
Kinzoku VF Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 Truly wish I had the luxury of only putting a few HMR per Detolf's shelf. Took that pic early May, that's the best I managed to do cramming-wise , (the VF-4,other Macross 7 Hi Metal and the non-VF stuff couldn't fit on the same shelf). The monster also had to be displayed outside with all the other stuff that are just too big. As for the new 1/48 line, as much as I loved the 1st release, decided to skip the upcoming releases (maybe when they get to the Elint etc). I still have all my old 1/48 Yammies and cannot be asked to sell everything (for peanuts...) in order to replace them with the latest Bandai 1/48 offerings. As much as I love the engineering weight and chunkiness of it, don't feel the need for yet more 1/48. Aside from my old 1/48 Yammies, the bulk of my 'modern' Macross collection are all 1/60. (Plus I need to keep cash for all non-Macross stuff). Rambling aside, I really hope we haven't reached the end of the HMR line, would've also loved to see a lot more. I mean Studio Half Eye have been doing them for years, don't see why Bandai couldn't give us more variety in that scale considering the progress made in toy engineering . Feels like Bandai plans to milk the 1/48 molds and in the process gradually slowing down (or dropping off ) the HMR in order be able to start working on the upcoming Macross series (after yet another Delta movie *sigh*) Quote
HardlyNever Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 FYI, the Ikea website says the Detolf has a max load per shelf of about 8 pounds. They are probably being safe on that estimate, by a pound or so, but you might be approached that weight on some of those shelves. If you've had them like that for a while, I'd assume it is probably fine. Just something to keep in mind. Quote
vlenhoff Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 (edited) There is an HMR in the pic... still on topic... Edited June 20, 2019 by vlenhoff Quote
