Was definitely a great intro. I loved 70’s and 80’s intros, they were always cool and had great music

Super Macross Mecha Fun Time Discussion Thread!
Gerli replied to Valkyrie Driver's topic in Movies and TV Series
I wonder if there is a reason for Kawamori to not include horizontal stabilizers on the VF-1; if there is a pure mechanical or aesthetic reason to not include those into the design. -
I always wanted one, but the prices have been ridiculous over the years. Maybe they'll do a reissue someday and I can jump on it!
-
Just... wow!
-
@Urashiman Ah, I got confused between that and the box with the VF-!D. @SteveTheFish A more mature Min-Mei, still performing live on Megaroud 01 on the far side of the galaxy! @pengbuzz I can do with some Thunderfighter reissues! I have two currently, one a 'new' kit and the other a prebuilt that could use to be torn down and redone.

Same here; really Liked Gil Gerard. He just seemed to fit the role so well, and the first season was really well done (the second... not so much). I still remember when I first saw the opening: On that note: if they're reissuing the Black Hole models, then they need to reissue the Buck Rogers ones as well!

Basically they’ve become extra pretty Taken sequels

Nice work on her, and that lil Buck Roger’s ship is cool. Really down about the lead actor passing away

General Sci-fi designs across various media

Yes, as far as I'm aware "Star Fleet" is somewhat more obscure in the US. As it happens, I was browsing a local HMV (yes, we still have those) the other day and much to my surprise they actually had "The Star Fleet Project" CD (Mays cover mini-album of the series music)! I guess it must have been re-issued fairly recently! If you like insectoid designs, and you're not already familiar with it, you may want to check out "Aura Battler Dunbine"... 😄 -
So I invested a small part of my family fortune for a 3D viewing last night. In terms of CGI craftmanship, the franchise is still cutting edge, and 3D is the proper way to enjoy these films. The art department was also firing on all cylinders fleshing out the new creatures & environments, and the first 20 minutes or so of establishing narration were my favorite part of the movie. The "plot" pretty much spirals down to iterations of "Surrender Jake Sully - we got your wife/daughter/other daughter/adopted son/Jake Sully", still the resulting action sequences were mostly well entertaining. The character interactions got on my nerves pretty quickly, with the notable exception of the queen of the fire people. Oona Chaplin's character pretty much steals the scene in each of her sequences, and she fills the gap of a competent villain that was so obvious in the second movie. The Reco Quaritch, in comparision, is mostly borderline comical this time.

I finally finished that small, 3D-printed Minmay figure my friend gave me a few years ago. The UN Spacy logo is from a set of Macross decals I bought on eBay years back, some of which I'd used on my 1:100 Imai Armored Valk I finished earlier this year. The pattern on her dress is from leftover decals from a Haku Rinpha resin kit from Hasegawa Eggplane Girls series. She is VERY small, so zooming in with my camera like this is exposing the flaws I cannot see with my naked eyes. Her eyes turned out better than I thought they would. The new Minmay resin kit that Hasegawa will release this month is almost the same as this figure.

Excellent work! It looks awesome!

First teaser of Look Back LA

I get a chance, I'm going to have to try just "bare plastic" with simple panel lining. Especially since such a thing would make it a lot easier on my lungs!

For anyone planning to get MB Barbatos, prepare to possibly spend more on an option set... https://www.taghobby.com/archives/899848

Did some weathering on my YF-21. Battroid mode needs more work still so just fighter for now.

We can understand this. Customizing a product you make is not too much to ask for the buyer to do. Thank you for what efforts you did make, though. All I really want are official adapters available for sale for the Arcadia SDF-1 (thanks for the 3D print download up until recently), as well as ThreeZero, and KitzConcept valks. Those adapters are really the only glaring things missing from your selection. All your standard releases are perfect unto themselves, and which I promote to all I see looking for stands. If anything, if you branched out to adding adapters for non-mecha items like cradles for things like Bandai SH Figuarts or SH Monsterarts figures, I'd buy even more stands as those have equally poor included options, if any. I'd frankly love to have a Monsterarts King Ghidorah in a flying pose on a Archi stand. 🤩

Did Kawamori-san work on this? I swear that's not only his drawing style, but also his handwriting! The way he writes "へ" in "への字" in particular hasn't changed since he did the designs for M+'s YF-21!
