Continuing where we left off on this 1/72 VF-25G Messiah Construction manual translation project. Once again, use at your own risk, and yep, it sure does sound funny since I did a literal dictionary translation without attempting to transpose it to a more suitable english sentence structure. Now I realize why Google Translate sounds so funny.

Was surprised to see this in a Mall, a whole rack of counterfeit (Bootleg) Gundams. I found this when I went scrounging for some modelling paint for the 1/72 VF-25G I was planning to assemble.

It was announced last week at the Macross Frontier Blog that Macross Chronicle Magazine No. 31 was already on sale.

Macross Chronicle 31 will feature the Quadluun Row from the Macross SDF1 series in its Mechanic Sheet portion. I’m actually confused with the Quadluun series of mecha with regards to what the last three letters of its name are. Some articles refer to it as Quadluun Rau (used by female Zentradi in Macross SDF1) while others Quadluun Rea (Macross Frontier’s Clan Clan’s mecha). Now in the very Official Macross Chronicle that gives further explanation to the series, they refer to it as Quadluun Row… weird. I’m inclined to think that its just a typo and that it should really be spelled as Rau.

Found this on the Yamato website. Its a little tutorial on how to disengage the metal hip joint from its housing in the nose of the Macross 1/60 VF-1 series made by Yamato Toys. Be sure to check out the video on the page as well for a real live demo. One should also take note of the position of the cockpit since it can be moved up or down and also limits the movement of the hip joint.

This tutorial starts from page 22 frame 6 of the manual and is taken from a different angle
