RE: Robotech/Macross Zentradi Ship Models + Traveller minis

Naw, they're the Arii kits - found them tucked away in the middle of the

Star Trek cr*p in a local hobby store.	Actually, I didn't get a deal
they 
were $11 US EACH.  After hitting the Hobbylink Japan website, I can
order 
them for about $3.50 US each, plus shipping (minor for injection
models). 
 They very well may be reissues - according to HLJ, Arii tends to
release 
few things except stuff they got from other defunct companies.	1/20,000
is 
right - and the measurements they give in meters actually work out - 
amazing.  Dunno about the separating one - haven't seen that yet.  They 
*could* work as bio-construct types, but you may want to putty in & over

some of the more obvious mechanical details - and there's the surface 
detail to contend with - lots of plates and rivet-type things.

RE: Robotech/Macross Zentradi Ship Models

Ok, you had me going a bit, Noah. I thought these were new, smaller
kits.

I've a few of these, and, while they haven't gone together yet, they
will
be MOST impressive. I believe I saw on one of the models newsgroups
these
mentioned as re-issues, with some negative comments, but the ones I have
certainly look, and fit, fine.

I must say, it sounds like you got quite the deal indeed. I found some
for
around $8, but you still got them about half that!

By the way, do your's say '1/20000'? After making that comment on the
list
a long time ago, I still haven't checked the boxes. *sheepish grin* Do
you
have the split hull one? Would it work as two separate ships?

Thomas, I was thinking not quite as long as the Superior's SGDs, or
quite
as wide, but round as opposed to SFW's flats , so BIG in volume. Also,
are
Zentraedi ships bio-structures? With the right paint jobs, I thought
these
would work even better as Sa'vasku than the psuedo-battle crabs. Gentle
curves that work either as a huge artifact or grown beast.

I'll put box art on that list of things to scan-n-ship to you. ;->=

RE: Traveller minis

I have a small box full of the Martain Metal Traveller figs; I think
they're kinda lumpy, but for dog-heads and centaurs, they're hard to
beat.
I wasn't aware they had made vehicles. Anyone have a list of these?

Tom, you wanted a Free Trader? Let me have a look around... ;->=
