Thom Posted January 11 Posted January 11 (edited) So, I just bought a pair of ARII's 1/20000 scale Zentradi Standard Battleship kits. Not big at all and quite simple kits. ARII did about four of the them, from some misc ships up to Breetai's gargantuan flagship. (Though of them all, his was Dun Dirty as the bow had been turned into a flat rectangle rather than sleek version seen on the show.) They are simple kits but look real nice with some really sweet details on the hulls. They come with their own stands and even a tiny Macross to cruise beside them. I may see about starting those in a day or so, to see if I get my Modelling Mojo back on track! I also bought the Queadol-Magdomilla (such odd, hard to pronounce names!) Have to have Khyron's first ship. And IMAI's 1/8000 Storm Attacker Macross Now, one may wonder why the sudden interest in these old, tiny scale kits... but that's because I bought this also! 😁 It's 49cm long, so about 19 inches. Now, I don't have it in hand yet, and it will still be a while, I bought it from E2046, and it is currently waiting for more buyers to line up for the production run, and it's on sale right now for about $53.00, so c'mon!! https://www.e2046.com/p/19412/&title=macross-nupetiet-vernitzs-5631 Anyway, I figure when it does show up, I should make a little dio out of it. Have the big Nupetiet beside the Storm Attacker on their charge towards Dolza's command 'mountain' and have a few more Zentran ships spread about for effect. Anyway, that's the plan. Just need others to preorder... (hint hint) And FYI, the standard battleships were bought from Protinkertoys. https://protinkertoys.com/search?type=product&q=macross Considering they are going for at least $40 on ebay, about $15 each from them is a bargain!

VF-1A Grunt Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Very cool. I bought the Queadol-Magdomilla years ago, probably about 40 years, and I found an unopened Quiltra-Queleual in Tokyo last summer. Neat models. I may have to spring for a few more - that’s a great price for them here in the States. Quote

Thom Arii never really was great at proportions. But they sometimes were the only producer of certain subjects. Maybe with the growing availability of Macross media and kits and toys, there will be a bigger interest in newer versions of some of these ships. Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Wow, those old Arii kits sure bring back some good memories. Those will be a fun build. That resin recast from e2046 is an amazingly detailed flagship. Once complete details really pop out. Post pictures when you’re done. Here is a little inspiration and part of my list of kits to complete. Quote
