Super Macross Mecha Fun Time Discussion Thread!
Seto Kaiba replied to Valkyrie Driver's topic in Movies and TV Series
It's all fun and games until someone has to actually serve on the Northampton-class Domo Arigato Mr. Furigato. Well, you'd think with dozens of different nations right here on Earth each maintaining their own navy there'd be some pretty significant variation in naming schemes... but most of them go in for the same basic strategy of naming ships after places (major cities, states/provinces/counties, landmarks), heads of state, celebrated veterans, objects of national pride (e.g. official state flowers, birds, etc.), or various adjectives of an aspirational nature (e.g. "fearless"). Most of the emigrant fleets and planets don't have enough history yet to have their own body of celebrated veterans, heads of state, etc. and the like to name ships after. -

@ChasWHOOOAA!!! DUDE that's AWESOME!!! I have my 1/500 Yamato in my "To be finished soon" pile! Love the designs from that show!

That was a great set! I really liked the extra details; especially the zipper on the back of Batsuit and the hint of a mustache on Joker! As I've been displaying the Batmobile without them, I've completely forgotten that it came with stud shooters! π

Iβm pretty sure heβs posting because of interest. While not personally being a 1/6th fan, I appreciate the existence.

Of coarse you don't have anything to say. It is all for show. It's good to see how disingenuous you are. -

shazam replied to EXO's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Maybe you should show more of an interest than just showing the photos of everything coming out. Maybe the price and why these figures are an interest to you. Would you buy these figures? -

Speaking of old builds, I started this kit-bash/scratch build I think 10 years ago? Some of you may remember my older posts on this. Well I picked it up again, inspired by a lucky win (at a good price) of a 1/500 S. B. Yamato on yahoo Japan auctions. It started life as a 1:700 Nimitz class aircraft carrier - Abrahan Lincoln I think?), but now it's a 1:500 Space battleship Yamato carrier. Overall it measures 61cm (24 inches) which puts it at a comfortable 305M/1000ft. I spent most of my time this weekend reacquainting myself with what I had done, and trying to remember what I wanted to do. You see I'm pretty much just making this up as I go along. It is loosely based on some ref. Images though. After I figured things out a bit I decided to get to work on adding some greeblies to the rear section above the engines. Now that that's done I think I'll move on to adding some plating to the main hull below the flight deck to give some detailing and cleaned things up a bit. The superstructure and flight deck area will likely be last, as I have too many ideas that I need to pare down. None of that stuff on top is glued down yet - just working out placement and such. Anyway: Here are the greeblie bits I worked out today: And some you have some idea where on the ship those bits are:
-
I missed the VF-1S pre-order but I`ll keep track on VF-1A CF, once pre-order is open.
-
They may be making just enough of them to sell to the Robotech fans that will buy one of everything (and I'm not making fun of those people, I'm kind of stuck in that group but even I haven't bought one of these yet). That would also explain why they think they can charge so much for them.

Sold out where? Seems readily available on several retail sites on the web...You beter hurry and get your hands on one ASAP!!!!....
