"Robotech!"

My new hobby~~! Ever since rewatching the Robotech series last year, I always wanted the Valkyrie fighter.... but Yamato's 1:48 scaled model cost RM6xx and the 1:60 model costs RM4xx, way too expensive to collect alongside the ever present Star Wars. But last week stumbled upon the Ban Dai's build-it-yourself model kit, cost only RM99.90. Oh, what the heck, buy some UHU super-glue, get the blade sharpened... and start assembling!


Fighter mode

Guardian mode

Battroid mode

And posing with the box!

At this point, it's pretty obvious something is missing with the model: NO COLOUR!! Yes, some more I didn't know how to use the decals provided (thought they were some stickers or something, but not!)... so have to paint it... :-S Sorry la, not really into painting...! But assembling the model from scratch was pretty fun. I spent 2 days to finish it, with glue all over my hands and several 'accidents'!

Sooo... yesterday went to buy the other one I was interested in...


The SDF-1!

This one cannot transform, and it's a 1:8000 scale, so it was pretty small and far easier to assemble! Hurray..... and only RM29.90 :P

But I also saw the Yamato's 1:60 model, fully transformable, painted, and inclusive of the Super Strike Parts selling for RM468. Hmm........... should I?:D
