Wow, thats sweet...where is it from  A show, or just a hobby shop item? Does the Photon lab, all lite up,in the dark look good in your room ? I sure it's not as nice as when you get the 2nd box......and get to put it all together !!! Did you get a chance to look at the Z scale items at the Hobby site I mentioned ? |

That's a Revoltech Maser Truck. It is used in Toho movies, mostly Godzilla ones.  The Photon Lab looks good, but I'm thinking about adding more lighting in the repair bay to make it a little brighter in there. Hopefully I'll get the second box tomorrow... it is driving me nuts to have just half the lab.  Oh, I did check them out and got a few ideas for future projects... ;D }D |

With enough of those z scale vehicles, you can make your own Maziga show !!! I'll make the buildings you can do the rest !!!!!! I thought about what you said about lighter materials , so last nite, I started building a apt. building out of ceral box, cardboard, now anyone can make 4 sizes and add some color..but how do you add all the diamentions that make it look real ? build up, and lots of cutting. I think after I make one, I can just cut a lot of parts, so you can build them yourself...sound like a good idea |

cardboard buildings are great because if they are done correctly they are cheap and easily replaceable.

LOL... I tried making cardboard buildings once with some boxes. I even painted them with white primer to hide all markings on the box. They didn't turn out very good...  }D |

what happened? the box got warped bad?
Looks cool still, kinda like weathering effect. I suppose the cages got screwed the most?

My guess is that the post office workers played soccer with the box... or maybe who could throw it the farthest. Yeah, the cages, the radar, and the ball structure got it the worse. I think I can fix it all, but it still pisses me off...

Boy does that really make me want to go postal............I would love to get hold of their packages just one time !!!!!!!! Now is when I wished I lived close to you, so I could come fix it for ya.......of course, if you sent it back, and then I fixed it, when you finally got it the second time...it would be cut in half, or been caught on fire !!!!!1 I'm so very sorry for this bro.....you have no idea, how bad I feel, or how pissed i am !!!!!!

I know, there is no guarantee it would arrive safely unless you drove it here. ;D As far as the lights, they have the same batteries, but I used a real camera to take the pics instead of my cellphone this time. }D |

Well I filed the claims.....stating that the cost was for repairs ONLY....concidering it will cost 300.00 just to ship it back, through UPS, since USPS can not be trusted !!!!!!! If I do get anything ??/Your gonna get a Mikelos.....at no extra charge !!!!!! Make sure you let me know if you need any materials shipped , for repairs....wooden rods, spackel ....or anything else you might need !!!! |

I feel sorry for the damage. The great enemy for Mazinger Z is the U.S. Postal Service!!!

they both are bad, even federal express is no good! those companies need to start holding their employees accountable for the damages they cause and have really good supervision from the moment they pick up the box to the moment they deliver it, because that is the only way the service will get better. i dont know what happened because deliveries used to be very good years ago and now it is like a gamble to see if your things are going to arrive in one piece.

Oh no! Sorry about the damage TMZ! But like they said, it looks like a weathering effect, so it is not too bad except the broken fuel tanks and fences in the back. I hope the claim works and you get the free fortress. That will be totally worth the agravation! |

Nevertheless, I'm positive I can repair it, even if I have to paint the whole thing again. There is no doubt... it still looks cool!
