SteveTheFish Posted March 31 Posted March 31 One thing I really like about Japanese YT modeling videos is that there is a lot more content for older kits from the '80s and such. Seems like the English-language YT modeling scene just focuses on newer kits and there's not the same labor of love for doing the extra work to make older kits look great. For example, this guy has already done what I've set out to do, lighting the old Imai/Bandai Defender. His videos have that annoying computer voice narration, but he really knows his stuff. He added extra surface detail that is lacking on the molds, and even constructed a completely scratch-built cockpit interior, so his sandals I am unfit to tie. This is the same kit I've been working on! My plan is to also light the floodlights on the knees as well as light the guns and have those firing, possibly through direct LEDs in the gun barrels or fiber optics. Pyoo-pyoo-pyoo! Quote
derex3592 Posted April 2 Posted April 2 Ok, seriously, that's the BEST destroid defender I've ever seen even BEFORE the lighting! BANDAI! Where's my HM-R with THAT color scheme??? Are you listening???? Quote

Shawn Posted April 8 Author Posted April 8 For the casual browsers here, most of those customs are made with Yamato 1/60 toys as the bases, and are featured in a series of color magazines, I think there are 5 or 6 volumes now https://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/29133-macross-books/page/34/#comment-1592289 Quote

I’m a bit behind on Star Wars stuff, I just remember a ship and wasn’t sure about this one. It’s been hard to get into Star Wars stuff lately, so I tend to lose track of what’s out and what’s coming out Quote
