If so, then, those are not paintings, they are all digital images. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw it at MWCon, and it was meh, mostly b&w pics of the SDF1 etc. Unless you're a HUGE fan of the SDF1, and Orguss, I would pass it by.

lebhead Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 i can't say enough about the Tenjin artbook. it's beautiful. if you like the Hasegawa boxes, you'll love the book. to me, it's up there with Kawamori's DW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewilen Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Saw both books at Kinokuniya book store in Japantown in San Francisco the other day. The Miyatake book is indeed meh, unless you read Japanese (in which case, who knows, maybe there are some great insights and recollections). About the only thing that interested me were the pictures of the Zentradi mecha from Macross Plus. Also some stuff from M7 and the video games, like the Konig Monster. But everything else (or virtually everything) is already in Perfect Memory. The Tenjin book is indeed very nice to look at but I didn't bite for the price.

fansubs2000 Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 If your friend can find it in Japan for you, it's about 4000 yen. Which is about $35 or $36 US. I picked it up when it first came out and am glad i did. Awesome! Probably the best Macross book i got! I agree with ol Lebhead that it ranks up there with the Kawamori Design Works. Hey i remember hearing a while back that the Kawamori book was going to get updated. Any new info about that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connor99 Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 fansubs2000 Posted Today, 02:57 AM Hey i remember hearing a while back that the Kawamori book was going to get updated. Any new info about that? Yes, inquiring minds wanna know ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobywan Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Could it be the Katani book? The one with all the model box art? That's a good book too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xstoys Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 I believe it's "Takani" who does the Macross art for the model boxes. Could it be the Katani book? The one with all the model box art? That's a good book too. 312816[/snapback] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechamaniac Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Which model boxes are we talking about here?. Tenjin did all the Hasegawa stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
