Has anyone else ever noticed that the Spartas' transformation is basically:
-
The only other time (and that was shortly before it was destroyed), as in Macross II, where it lifted off to fight against Ingues' fleet. And MII is an alternate universe unto itself.

UPDATE: some long overdue progress shots: Final configuration for the stand base: Main logo and the file number from the series' briefing (at the start of the S1 episodes, IIRC): A pic with the unextended sponson ends attached: Bottom shot without and with ADF pod: Rare Earth magnets embedded in both hull and ADF pod: Sponson ends: normal and chain guns deployed; both attach via a series of posts: Airwolf's weaponry at a glance: 3/4 rear view port; extended exhausts for rotor engines and turbo boost nozzles in place: Work done to hollow out and rebuild turbo boost intakes and cooling intakes for rotor engines: Main rotor hub: The helicopter still needs work: a final buffing down of the hull (lumpy in some areas and the shine is too much), refining some details, and a couple fo other nitpicks. But overall, this project has succeeded beyond what I had hoped for! Finally... a shot of "The Lady" coming straight for the camera: Stay tuned folks....

I get the sneaking suspicion that somehow, LSD was involved in the making of those "credits".
-
We've never noticed a joystick on the SDF-1, so I'm afraid you've lost us there. 🙄
-
Hard. Pass.
-
Nice job so far! BTW: I know it doesn't have it's legs yet, but it kinda reminds me of what Jaws would look like in the year 3000!
-
Too bad we couldn't get some Logans in as patrol craft for the cities in the next Macross series as cannon-fodder to get blown up.

The 'Hey look at this really cool model build I saw' post
pengbuzz replied to Shawn's topic in Model kits
Nice weathering job on both; I couldn't hep notice though a couple of nitpicks here (minor ones) that jarred my eyes while looking at these wonderfully done models (second video): 1) The odd offset placement of "U.N. SPACY" on the black wing stripes and "001" with black stripe on the engine nacelles/ legs (1:02)? 1) Anyone notice the huge gap between the canopy and the rest of the nose on the Strike Valk (11:52)? I wonder if the canopy was somewhat warped during manufacture? -
Finally got my Missing Link Convoy/ Optimus Prime C-01 yesterday:
-
that's just sad looking!!

-
Yeah...Gundam may as well be the mech mascott of Japan and of all mech anime as a whole.
-
While they're at it, how about a 1/300 Daedalus and a 1/300 Macross to go with it?
-
I seriously wish I had the money for all those, Shawn! Right now, I can't even afford modeling supplies!
-
UPDATE: thanks, but I ended up with some trouble: 1) The internal support for the sponsons tore out on me while I was doing final adjustments for the non-weapon sponson covers. It took with them the entire support structure for the wheels, wheel wells and cracked the bottom hull plate of the model, requiring a rebuild of the lower hull plate. Anyways, a friend on another forum is sending materiel support, so in a few days, I should have this back on track. Stay tuned...

Doesn't look all that bad to me; I think we all got spoiled on "anime magic"....
-
UPDATE: chain guns revised- I know the 40mm cannon still looks a little big, but it's probably because it's light colored in contrast to the rest of the craft. We'll see how it looks painted, but comparing it sizewise, it seems spot on to the specs. Also; I got my idea for the stand going: Stay tuned...Archangel and Marella want a word with me about something...

Super Macross Mecha Fun Time Discussion Thread!

You could try using #0000 steel wool lightly, then some ground up black pastel to add the color differentiation. It would allow you to do so without adding a lot of layers to the paint job, and as a bonus, be subtle about it.

Super Macross Mecha Fun Time Discussion Thread!
pengbuzz replied to Valkyrie Driver's topic in Movies and TV Series
It would be funny if in the next Macross series, they had a one shot of her and she's still upset all these years after Gamlin wrecked her VF-1! -
Yeah, the 50 cal. barrels look a little big in particular on her, especially in comparison to the photos of her actual guns: Thankfully, nothing is glued in yet, just taped on. I sized them directly from the parts layout on the Aoshima kit instructions, but I think they look a little big as well. I don't have any thin metal tubing per se (and money is tight right now after some unexpected expenses), but even if I have to use stretched sprue and cut off the old barrels to fit them in, I'll get it taken care of.

Hawke: "DOM!! I NEED CHAIN GUNS!!!" Santini: "YOU GOT"EM STRING!!!"

Here ya go then, Thom: https://www.airwolf-online.com/openingintro Was considering that, but I have another idea I want to try....

UPDATE: New sponson/ weapon end doors made and undergoing final fitting. Also started on a stand for this one: Stay tuned...
