    Your welcome. Glad you got it. :) I was worried you wouldn't see the post until lit was too late. It's always fun to help someone get something they've been searching for. Just be sure to post pics when you've completed it! ;)

    If you don't mind my asking, how much was total price in Cannuk Cash after shipping?

    HELP! please

    Hi all, I've been away from the boards for a while (trying to get things together to move to South Korea next month-Hopefully :unsure: ) Anyway, I finally decided to upgrade the subtitles to my fx DYRL Perfect Edition Disk (thanks to Hurin's hard work and kind Heart) When low and behold what should I find but the disc had somehow been scratched during the packing :( . I've tried reparing the damage but no luck.Unfortunately it looks like the damage goes down to the data layer :angry: .

    But I have one last chance to save this disc. I've managed to gain access to the disc's Video TS folder and found the file (thank god it's only one) where the damage is. What I am hopeing is that someone here on these boards who owns the fx Perfect Edition DYRL disc would be able and willing to both find the file I need on their disc, copy it, and send it to me. The file I need is named

    VTS_01_4.VOB. If anyone can help me out I'd be very Thanfull.

    Charles.

    LED's are also the best option because they don't create a significant amount of heat, which is a major concern in the small confines of a model kit. Any other of the small bulbs that I've come accross have been too hot (when left on for a couple of minutes) for me to consider using in a model. Led's and Light Sheet are pretty much it for me.

    What is lying on your workbench?

    Impressive as always HWR! Is that the Reliant inthe background? I've got one of those too. Haven't started it yet though -not sure if I want to do all the work to make it accurate or just build right out of the box. Makes for a good size ref for that valk though, Wow that is a big kit! hadn't realised the size of it 'till I saw these pics. :blink:

    I was just restating an offer I made earlier at, what I thought was, an apropriate time.I'm leaving for the weekend todat so I won't be able to work on the images 'till next week, but as I'm no longer working I should be able to get it all done on Monday. Are you interested in both sets of illustrations - Mecha & Characters or just one of the sets?.

    O.K I just photograhed both sets of these from my originals with my digi camera. I've got to leave for work right now, but when I get back ( around 11 hours or so from now) I'll download them to my computer and I can make up a couple of Acrobat documents like I did for the FlashBack 2012 Graffitti book.

    But I'll need someone to host them. That is if enough folks want them. So let me know if I should bother. And if someone could volunteer some web space that would be great.

    the kit parts where you would put fiber optics are solid resin. It would be highly difficult to route any lighting system through it. If you want to try it i wish you luck and really look forward to seeing it biggrin.gif

    I've seen resin kits where solid parts have had channels dremeled out into which the Fiber- Optic cable has been layed and then puttied over and sanded smooth. Couldn't tell from looking that it had been done. Although this is not a technique I would recomend to begginers!

    Looking for the book MACROSS PERFECT MEMORY

    Well, for what it's worth I remember when the first release was on sale here in Toronto back in the 80's I must have flipped through one everyday for two weeks before finally deciding that I couldn't spend that much money on a book that I couldn't read. ( Don't remember how much But Boy I'm Still Kicking Myself!!!)

    Now back to my point, I do remeber that the poster was loose and not attached in anyway. Unlike the poster in TIA #11, of Minmay, which was attached between the the front cover and the first page. Hope that helps some.

    1/48 VF-1S Hikaru

    And, really, they all sorta have "hero ship" markings. Each character has his own color. I'm not sure if Hikaru retaining his heatshield coloration for his 1S really constitutes a dramatic method of setting his valkyrie apart from the others.
    I think we're kinda stretching it an itty bit by incorporating what color the heat shield is also. Definitely an interesting thought though.

    Well the way I think of it is like this: there are the Brown (C.F.) valks on the bottom tier then there are the main character valks, in their various colours, on the second tier and then on the third tier we have Hikaru, whose valk is distinguished from the other mian charcter pilots by having a coloured heat shield.

    Now this hypothesis does have some sticking points i.e Max' 1-A having a blue heat shield. And I think that the norm is to have the Hero-Ship traditionally distinguished with a special weapon as well as markings. But for me, for now, this idea works pretty well.

    --That is unless one of you thinks about this colouration glitch Waaaayyyy more that I have (which isn't too hard) and pokes my hypothesis full of holes. :blink:

    Is anyone here familliar with the concept of the 'Hero' ship in Anime? I think this may explain why Hikaru's colour scheme is different from the other 1-s sqod. As he is the protaganist and the 'Hero' of the film his craft gets singled out with it's own colour scheme indicating that it and he is special. :unsure: What dy'a think?

    Pardon my ignorance (and my French) but WTF!

    O.K I've seen this around for a while and never really thought much about it. But where the F#*K did HG come up with this 'character' (quotations indicate that I don't actuallly consider this marketing ploy a character).

    Now It has been years since I've seen Robotech and I don't remember any such vehicle or 'character' in any of the storylines. So I'm left with the conclusion that HG just wanted to sell some more CRAP - I mean MPC's- so they thought "hey lets make a black valk with lots of head lasers and call it a stealth. Yeah and we'll come up with a new 'character' and background story to reallly sell it!"

    But as I said it's been a while since I've seen Robotech, I only ever saw it on T.V. and I haven't ever seen any other incarnations of it i.e. Sentinels, novelizations etc.

    so, I'm willing to be wrong here. But did this character show up anywhere prior to the release of this toy? Or are my suspicions about the purpose for his invention correct.
