Dobber Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 Very nice! The hasegawa pilot definitely makes things look much better! Chris Quote
anime52k8 Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 Lovely work. The Sylphid was one of my favorite designs from the show as well. I liked how it felt exotic and cool while still being believable and functional as a fighter. Quote
wm cheng Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 WOW! Beautiful @electric indigo Simply gorgeous, these resin kits have such sharp detailing. Thanks for posting, love seeing these kits built up. Quote
Dobber Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 Her’s one of mine. I built a second one and painted it up as a USAF fighter, but for the life of me I can’t find pictures of it and the model itself is boxed up in my basement. Quote
wm cheng Posted May 10, 2020 Posted May 10, 2020 Wow!!! Beautiful @Dobber. Is that camo pattern masked or decal? Quote

100mega Posted May 11, 2020 Posted May 11, 2020 I think I asked this once before, but now that there are more eyes on this thread, has anyone picked up the Yukikaze bluray set? I have the DVDs and I've read a bit about how the bluray doesn't really look much better at all. Can anyone speak to this? I downloaded what I assume to be a bluray rip and it looks almost identical to the DVD I own and I'm a pretty big nitpicker when it comes to video quality. Quote
jammaker Posted May 13, 2020 Posted May 13, 2020 Hi 100mega, The downloaded blueray of Yukikaze I have is definitely better quality than the standard DVD. The blueray version I downloaded about 2010 has no subtitles or English dub. I bought the original series back in 2002 when it first came out. Mind you I got the Platinum edition with the DTS 6 channel sound so I couldn't speak for the sound, however the picture quality on the blueray is better even if it is in the standard 4:3 ratio. My advise is, that if you can get an original blueray copy then get it, as they are super rare. Plus you get a fantastic art book and other goodies like the Diecast 1:200 yukikaze FFR-41mr aircraft behind a little window in the blueray box. I opted out as they were around $300 dollars at the time they came out new from CD Japan. I'm going on Aust, dollars. Quote
jammaker Posted May 13, 2020 Posted May 13, 2020 By the way if anyone has scanned images of the SAF flight manual and the FAF technical orders I'd be very happy. There is character art work in them that isn't in FAF at war, Blue and purple or Sento Yosei Yukikaze - Mechanical Design Works. Quote
Vifam7 Posted May 14, 2020 Posted May 14, 2020 There is also a "Standard version" Blu-ray box set that doesn't come with the diecast model or the FAF Technical Orders booklet. It was cheaper at around $150 MSRP. I have this version of the Blu-ray set. It contains the English dub but no English subtitles. Copies of this version can still be found on Amazon Jpn and CDJapan Quote
electric indigo Posted May 26, 2020 Posted May 26, 2020 Three Platz 1/72 resin kits are up for another re-release in June (no Sylphid, though) Product listing at Hobbysearch Quote

100mega Posted May 26, 2020 Posted May 26, 2020 Thanks for everyone that gave the feedback on the bluray of this. I finally pulled the trigger on it and I'm actually pretty happy with it. All the the CG scenes stand out in clarity on the bluray in a good way. It's just too bad some of the extras from the DVD version weren't included so I'll still have to hang on to those. Quote
electric indigo Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 This guy is going all out on the Mave with his Blender model. Some nice aviation art in his feed. Quote
100mega Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 At last the collection is complete! I was wondering if anyone in here has read the novels. I know we're lacking an english translation of the 3rd one, but I'd love to hear Macross fan's impressions of the two that are available. Quote

It's been around a while, and I know there was some pretty good discussion of the novels a few years ago when I read through them. I didn't actually know there was a third one, now that you mention it. I feel like I heard a rumor of it at some point, but thought the story had fairly well ended in the second book, or at least ended as well as the animated version. Quote
electric indigo Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 It's been a long time since I read it, but didn't the second book just end with Spoiler the three main characters sitting in a room waiting for a big insurrection to happen and discussing the nature of reality? Quote
jammaker Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 The third novel was released in 2009. Unbroken arrow. I have a hot copy in my hand but alas I am not Japanese. How ever the translator of the 2 previous novels gives a brief but tantalisingly overview of the third novel without giving anything away. You can get a digital copy of both translated novels and I highly recommend reading them ‘wow’ Kambayashi wasn’t awarded best sci fi writer on a whim. You’ll love it and be left wanting more. Quote

Thanks for the impressions and the info about the 3rd novel. They're on my list once I finish up Evangelion Anima (shared mecha designer!). Hopefully we'll get the 3rd novel one day. Quote
jammaker Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 Speaking of which after all these years 3.0+1.0 is out at last and I hear the reviews are great. People actually move to tears in the cinema. Can’t wait. Quote

By the way 100 mega that is a very impressive collection you have there. Which one completed your collection? I’m still hunting down the Super Sylph. Absolutely crazy prices now. All you have there in that pic is expensive enough to display in a vault. Ha ha. Quote

I needed the Mave to complete my collection and I got it a few months back from yahoo japan auctions via buyee for a "decent" price. The Super Sylph came from Madrake and the Flipknight came from some goober on ebay that was selling it as new but it had clearly been displayed! Oh well, what can you do? I love my little "Ikuto corner" About Eva 3.0+1.0....I was listening to the podcast in the shower during the part talking about the lady crying in the theater and I started crying with joy that it is apparently going to be emotionally satisfying. I'm so excited that I can barely stand it. Edited March 11, 2021 by 100mega Quote

electric indigo Posted September 1, 2021 Posted September 1, 2021 The Platz 1/72 resin kits (except the Sylphid) will also be re-released in September. Quote
Chronocidal Posted September 2, 2021 Posted September 2, 2021 Sheesh, why can't anyone ever just release nice 1/72 scale styrene everything? Though, forgive my ignorance if I'm forgetting some, I was under the impression that all of the previous kits were resin. Quote
electric indigo Posted September 2, 2021 Posted September 2, 2021 Platz' 1/144 kits are styrene. The 1/72 kits are resin, with the Syphid and F/A-27 coming from Korean Project E5. Quote

Rock Posted April 20, 2022 Posted April 20, 2022 (edited) I almost choked thinking they were finally going to do some plastic 1/72 kits! Still a must buy even if the older full resin block for a cockpit still is a PITA to model. I still need to find a translated copy of book 3 too! Edited April 20, 2022 by Rock Quote
Falcon Posted April 20, 2022 Posted April 20, 2022 Does that mean we'll get Book 4 and 5 in OVA form? Quote
