Part of the og post seems to have disappeared. Originally Swann had made the comment that Global looked a bit like Tony Iommi. And somehow part of my reply post seems to have gone missing since I pointed out that it was the mustache and I had attached a pic of him before he did the added chin hair. it all probably would’ve made much better sense if things were attached and in full, but they seem to have come in kinda choppy. That and being a Metalhead would help as well

The 'Hey look at this really cool model build I saw' post

Agreed: Then of course:

Yeah, I get the feeling they were trying for that Star Trek VI effect where the writers put the racism on the minority character to make it more effective narratively. The ending is really unsatisfying too, because there are no real consequences for him either.
-
The Yammie Ghost itself fits the Arcadia VF-0xx fine. Only the ordnances (missile pods, fuel tank) don't, as the Arcadia mounting holes are slightly bigger and will not hold them without some fillers.

I think I'll have my full review of the Tread up tomorrow. Here's a quick scale shot:

What Current Anime Are You Watching Version v4.0
Seto Kaiba replied to wolfx's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Had some good episodes of Secrets of the Silent Witch and Betrothed to My Sister's Ex this week. Dan Da Dan was initially a pretty interesting, but has bogged down so very badly in this "Evil Eye" business that I'm just bored with it. You can only make a character so stupid until their voice becomes The Most Annoying Sound. Jin started on the wrong side of that line and he has been tracking steadily in the wrong direction. Having a redeemable villain is a fairly standard staple of shounen anime and has been forever... but there are some types of villain who AREN'T and trying to pretend that they are is just wasting everyone's time. -
The Transformers Thread (licensed) Next

I'd give this a pass as Hasbro doing something for kiddies instead of a collector... if Takara weren't also doing their kid-oriented Wild King line that craps all over this. Yeah, if only Mixmaster would ship. It's the only figure from the wave I don't have. 😒 Yeah, I mean, distribution is pretty sketchy (my local Target doesn't seem to have jack, but my local Walmart is full up on the current AOTP wave. But yeah, Megatron is part of the current Studio Series wave that should be hitting shelves about now. -

G1 Hook had a poor leg design, let's be honest; chromed plastic isn't really known for it's resiliency and the nub at the knee that the cab/ lower leg attached to was kind of flimsy. -
Thankful I scored one of these earlier this year.
-
Man, I wish they would reissue the weathered version.
-
Want. Hopefully not too painful (for my toy budget) to get.
-
Basara Prime? Hard no. -
+1 holding out hope that Arcadia will reissue the ghost booster for their recent 1/60 VF-0 releases. #someday #dreams

I mean I don't expect Arcadia to ever re-produce it, but I guess my point was that it doesn't make sense to scale up the HMR version when the 1/60 version already exists to just measure directly. The weapons shouldn't have any trouble fitting either, aside from the chest mounts. My thought was more that it shouldn't be hard to design and print a set of adapters to properly support the original ghost, since Arcadia just can't be bothered to do the work. Edit: To be clear though, if it wasn't stated earlier.. Bandai didn't fix the proportions for the ghost either. They did a straight re-scale of the Yamato version without changing anything, and because of this, it doesn't fit correctly either. The only thing they changed was molding the canards permanently bent into the position that would over-stress the moving Yamato version, leaving the ghost propped up too high in the front.

Medicom/Hot Toys and all 1/6 scale figures

As ever, you are so diligent. Great work @tekering .

This one lost a bit of its context when I got merged into the thread. It was originally a standalone post. IIRC @Swann was comparing it to the cover of the KISS album Dynasty? Not quite a weirdest places reference but more a weird reference in Macross.

Chef’s kiss

I’ve had one of those sets saved in my Amazon cart for a few years. I wanted to compare the weapons to Hasegawa’s, but I was always reluctant to order it because I assumed the Bandai Super leg and arm parts wouldn’t fit properly with any other brand.
-
Another significant detail absent from the Cygnus CGI model I'm printing are these "croquet hoop" fuel pods on either side of the prow: Even from photographed from the back end of the ship, they're still prominently visible up front. Nonetheless, I had to kitbash my own because -- even at the tiny scale I'm working at -- the 3D model just isn't adequately detailed. This "weekend project" has already occupied most of my free time this month, and I'm nowhere near finished...! 😅
-
My sets came in as well. Picked up 4 sets. Not enough to equip all my fighters though. Hopefully pick up more later.
-
What is the point of this post? Does anyone know? Three random pics of Global? Why? What's the point of this post? "It's the mustache." What's the mustache? What's the point of this post? A random Fire Bomber post/album cover? What does this have to do with Macross in the weirdest places?
-
Still, its been 10 years since Yamato release the figures plus the Drone soo kinda thought peeps made a 3d print of the Ghost Booster knowing how rare it is now. But ah well, wait it is then ^^

May'n giving her thoughts about a model in the 9th plamodel modelling competion (1.18.04). Even Shoji Kawamori made an appearance!
