Man, I should start figuring out how to 3D print replacement parts for classic toys.  Need to learn how to translate measurements into a 3D app more accurately.  A few of my buddies have been doing that with pretty decent success.

Interesting comments.
 

Not sure if anyone here has seen this this technique called retr0bright but it seems to be a solution for yellowing.  Apologies if this is an old topic.

Man, I hope everyone in the group goes to see it.  If we're to have legit live action translations of anime, this is the first one to really do it right and unapologetically, we should really support it as much as we can.  If it flops the only lesson these execs in Hollywood are going to think is that there's no market for such material.  Something like this could lead into other legitimate franchises and scale into the size of the MCU.

We need likes on  this damn forum.

Thanks TangledThorns!!

Thanks Galactic Diva!!!  Its a really small project ATM but will grow over time with DLC drops.  We'd like to release a bigger product but the VR instal base is really young still so we'll need to sort of grow it like the OVA market of the 80's.

- Nghia

Thanks Negotiator!!  As we keep building new experiences for this project we really want to build around this giant world and get into the mech combat.  We want it to feel like Dunbine or Panzer World Gallient with a Legend of Zelda sense adventure.

Some production screenshots...

 

Hey guys, I thought I'd do a little shameless self promotion.  I wouldn't normally do this but I think you guys would like the giant mecha and fantasy subject matter with a little idol fairy.

This is a VR project "Crowe: The Drowned Armory" that I've been heading up with a tiny crew of about 10 people and we've been busting our humps getting it to a great spot for a spring release.  More details to come when the press kit hits.  I hope everyone likes it.

Thanks to everyone for putting on a great show this year. It keeps getting better and better. Macross Worlders are some of my fav peeps out there.

What a great convention this year!!! I can't believe how the show is growing and how the organisation for the events are getting so professional these days. Always great to see everybody and see the love for Macross continue into the future.

now that's a collection I could happily have!!! wow even at half setup that's so awesome!

Thanks man, that things been in the works since I was a kid. Not much of the OG stuff from back then made it though.

In honor of the upcoming MWCon I'm posting pics of my half set-up collection.

For me I think it would be nice to see a series of smaller scale like Macross Plus. I think that it has more general audience appeal and the scaled down nature of a smaller story would lend to better production value overall. And for Pete's sake bring back Shinichiro Watanabe.

I packed up all my stuff and my house is on sale now.

Not many buyers these days, so I might have to delay my moving and get back to my VF-1 custom over the winter..

This is what used to be my man-cave....Now all clean and dandy. (Someone.. please buy my house.. T_T;

Somewhere between Redwood City and San Jose, I think.

It's freakin' expensive over there! I need to sell off my house first before moving thou..

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is the saddest thing I have ever seen because I have visited that former glory!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW, speaking of which, I need to buy a house soon. My place is getting too dense with books and mechs these days. First world problems.

Finish the destroids line, rerelease the vt-1, and make kits of all their past Mcaross projects for customizing. In that order.

Hey Kye. You might want to try this paint called Duracoat. It's made for guns in the combat field and is scratch proof. Works through an airbrush.

I'd like to see them finish the 1/60 Destoids line (including alt versions), a reissue of the Super Ostrich, A TV SDF-1, an M&M 1/60 reissue, and the YF19 version 2 of course (with alt paint schems like the Supernova contest colors or the Ravens or Lightnings scheme). On the back burner I'd like to see more enemy classic mechs or some UN Spacey ships to go with my SDF-1.

- Nghia

The did but I thought that they were supposed to confirm and send them out this week no?

- Nghia

I totally remember those awful things! Funny how nostalgic and warm/fuzzy I feel about them now vs. how much I hated them then.
