    Man, looking at Titan class Star Convoy and it just isn't for me, espically at that price of 150 bucks. despite the flaws on it I still really like my MMC Stellarus. It has a much cleaner profile to it between modes. I scored both Air Raid and Bonecrusher today....sort of spur of the moment purchases and t hey're not bad, not great, but not bad. I still laugh at poor Bonecrusher's limbs being so stubby and short on his forearms while having long lack luster looking legs. But I guess this means I'm committed now to buying the two sets. I still really like the Maketoys set I've had for forever but it's no longer to scale to what's out there, they come just a bit to short.

    Char is finally available for preorder at American stores. BBTs has it for a $99 price tag, but I’m gonna see if anyone has it cheaper or if I got some points to lower the cost somehow

    If you do it at an angle, it keeps the part in the exact spot it should already be in, but makes it loose enough to easily pull apart

    @Big s Such a smart and simple idea on trimming pegs at an angle. Brilliant! Once I ease this kit apart I’m going to trim down those pegs.

    Rogue needs to lay off those hard drugs

    Sorry, it’s hard to think of good Disney Star Wars movies.

    Looks amazing. Taco Bell will make anyone hit the afterburners at some point, just make sure to be prepared or those’ll be your shorts

    I’d stay away from metal tools since they can scratch or damage the parts when disassembling. Sometimes a piece off the sprew like the long rectangular bits with one end beveled by a quick sanding can do the trick. personally if I’m working with modern kits, I’ll often trim the peg at an angle to do test fitting so the part is far easier to pull apart, and in final assembly I’ll use a dab of cement to hold it in place permanently. I’ll attach a couple images to show a bit later

    @pengbuzz @sketchley Thanks for the tips. @MechTech Thanks for the link. There is a lot of great details in there.

    That was for the armor ejection gimmick😉

    You can't really scale by "small compartments" though, because in that case I could go "the Nimitz class has really a really small toilet, so it must be a really small ship". And the size of the bridge seems to vary quite a bit. Just for reference, the bridge window on the Elysion at "canon" scale is just over 11 meters wide at its widest point. I think this is a fair bit wider than 11 meters, personally,especially since the window needs to go over the sides of those grey pods too. I just don't have the skills to scale it properly. By single level, I meant that there's only one deck for the fighters, but there's more than that in the back because you also have the upper hangar just below the bridge. And back there there's enough volume for it to go deeper, as well. Not so much in the rest of the ship, since there's visible machinery.

    No, not yet. I'm currently in the process of assembling my newly arrived set of moducases to house the rest of my collection. Magnets worked great on Yamato's releases... when they didn't screw up the assembly. Didn't a few people get copies where the magnets were installed incorrectly and it repelled their fast packs instead?

    Depends on the model, I guess... not so much of an issue for something like the VF-1 or Regult. I've got nothing for a Glue Valkyrie... but when it comes to welding, we've got you covered: https://www.macross2.net/m3/macross7/vt-1-battroidwork.htm
  24. pengbuzz
    Yeah... just a nightmare for accuracy's sake though. O.o *Imagines giant tube of glue being held by several valks as they position a new module in place*

    Shining, Phantom Gundam and Meteor were all teased at last year's summer fest and expo. Also, the Impulse was unveiled at the 2023 expo.

    I was thinking more of the crew spaces themselves, where most of the onboard shots take place. The Elysion's bridge appears no bigger than the Macross Quarter's, for instance. The briefing room where they hold several of their discussions with Berger and others is barely large enough to accommodate the main cast. To an extent, I suspect this is because of reused interior design from the Quarter. There are some shots in the TV series where the hangar appears to be a split-level affair to permit embarkation of VFs without ladders. As to the size of the Macross Cannon and whether it's present on both ships or just one... that's not officially confirmed AFAIK.

    Thanks MT!! That reminds me: I need to look up the IMPS standards for real space and sci-fi modeling (for both my shuttle and TOS Enterprises).
