    Tragic. Because I remember in an interview that the film would be released in 2025, and I even thought they could be in post-production already.

    That’s unfortunately what I figured

    Wow. That's pretty crazy that they basically sent you a whole valk minus accessories. A week or so ago, I got a FedEx notification that a package was being shipped to me. I couldn't figure out what the heck it could be since I didn't order anything that would be shipped through FedEx. Got an email later that the shipper was from BNTCA. I realized it was my replacement parts that I've waited close to 9 months for now. I wonder if they'll do the same or if I'm getting just the parts. I don't care either way. I just want a non-bent head laser and a canopy with an unbroken hinge. That's all I've wanted and I hope they inspected the replacements before sending to me because otherwise, I'm going to be extremely pissed waiting this long for damaged parts.

    Looks good.

    No. The black adapters are the ones that come with the AFC. I flipped the Tamashii stand arm upside down so that the thicker peg connects to the adapter and the thinner peg connects to the base.

    Well... I'm enjoying my Porsche, and my wife still has a little over a year left on her Kia's lease. But I'm becoming sorely tempted to buy a Dodge Charger Daytona as a spare (wife can drive it sometimes to keep the mileage down on her lease, I can drive it sometimes when the weather gets kind of crappy and I'd prefer a heavier car with AWD). I'd been curious about them since they first came out (how do you get an EV to behave like a pony car?), but with a price in "gently used" Taycan territory I'd rather go German. Dealerships keep dropping the prices, though, and now I have a dealership offering to sell me an R/T (bummer, no scat pack) for $35k. That's just over half the MSRP. And a third car would come in handy right now... my wife's EV9 has been in the shop since Easter due to a BMS issue. Normally I think they're just supposed to replace a fuse and the 12v battery, but Kia wants the dealer to replace the main battery too. Took a week and half to even get them to give us a loaner, and my wife's mad that the loaner is a base-model ICE Sportage. She misses the bells and whistles on her GT-Line trim, not to mention her 75-mile round-trip commute is the reason we started buying electric cars in the first place.

    I just consider reality as improv

    Is that an adapter to use Tamashii stages for Air Fighter Collection models?

    Hey thanks. I’m trying to do some fun airbrush highlights with the last couple builds I have completed. I have a lot to learn. I was fortunate and inherited an iwata from my work since they no longer used it. I did prime the kit with a cheap can of rusto and it had a bad reaction to a few colors and had to strip and repaint. I think I will stick with Mr surfacer moving forward. I do however like how easy and fast a rattle can is. Here’s a pic of the kit after I hit it with a rattle can topcoat Mr Super Clear UV Matt. I think the finish really brings it all together in a nice way and hides some of my sloppiness.

    Hikaru: “Not again! I thought we were training.” Britai: “Yes. Next time we train, I will keep your breastplate.” Hikaru: “You suck.”
  15. nightmareB4macross
    Wow, that was quick. And a very nice build. Are you using an airbrush or rattle cans? Nevermind - I just looked at the set up behind your Orguss GERWALK.

    Reality, it must be admitted, has terrible writing.

    We're not told exactly how much cloning was done, but it was apparently done quite extensively... enough that recessive genetic disorders became an issue within a generation, and that they were able to crew emigrant fleets by cloning personnel with essential skills and knowledge. Macross II: Lovers Again was, I think, the first Macross title to play with the idea of a post-war world where much of the population was at least part-Zentradi. They seem to be not quite as common in Macross Plus and other later titles, since most of the characters we see are standard Humans, but part-Zentradi aren't in short supply either. Humanity adopting some Zentradi technology doesn't seem particularly strange to me, or even connected to the population numbers. Earth got its hands on a LOT of pristine overtechnology thanks to the end of the war, the defection of a hundred-plus Zentradi ships, and the capture of dozens of Factory Satellites. It's only natural Humanity would be leveraging superior versions of the technology they've been copying where possible. There's that, yeah. Though we also see some in Veffidas's backstory where she's basically participating in Zentradi street fights, and Macross 7 Trash also involves the fighting instincts of the Zentradi being hard to control. I think the guys in Circle FANKY probably agree, since they included the Daedalus II-class in their Battleships of the Galaxy series devoted to main timeline Macross. It didn't... there are several intermediate designs. The DYRL-based timeline leading up to Macross II: Lovers Again has a very different course of events and technological progression. Quite a few post-war dates and events seen during the Super Dimension Fortress Macross TV series still occur, but occur years after the war instead of months. For instance, the Megaroad-01 launches in 2014 not 2012, or Komilia being born in 2018. The pace of overtechnology development is a fair bit slower, and Earth only captures the one factory satellite seen in the TV series. But it advances nevertheless. The VF-1 is replaced by the VF-1 Kai Attack Valkyrie in 2018, the VF-4 is introduced in 2014 and upgraded c.2036, and then 2054 sees all the previous gen Valkyrie designs and ships get replaced en masse during a major tech boom following a massive conflict with a Zentradi main fleet out near Pluto. Earth's capture of a second factory satellite leads to a second overtechnology boom that gives rise to new classes of ship and a new generation of Valkyries and Destroids. They start with the VF-XX c.2060, then there's the VF-2 in 2072, the VF-2SS in 2081, the VF-2JA in 2086, and the VA-1SS Metal Siren in 2092. Not the one in Eternal Love Song, a Great Offscreen War in 2054 between the UN Spacy and a Zentradi main fleet that found the emigrant ship Million Star just a short distance from Sol. The fighting was so intense that a large portion of the Spacy's fleet is lost, but the factory satellite captured leads to the development of a lot of new ships and mecha seen in the OVA. Yeah. Macross II's official timeline is the first official mention of the UN Spacy mass-producing Macross-class ships... years before Macross Frontier established the existence of the Macross-class SDFNs. Exactly why they use a mixture of Macross-class and Megaroad-class ships for emigrant fleet missions is unclear, but they were launching them until 2054 at the very least. The 2054 Zentradi war is caused when a Macross-class emigrant ship stumbles directly into a Zentradi main fleet. You mean art reference or technical reference? It has its own section in books like Variable Fighter Designer's Note and Macross Big Encyclopedia. The technical writeup is in Macross Chronicle Mechanic Sheet F Movie SMS 04A/B. The actual writeup is pretty minimal, since the "Super Pack" is really just a small chemical rocket booster, a fuel tank, a laminated shield, and the fold wave projector/missile pods on the wingtips.

    It's AI as the movie isn't in production yet.

    Looks really great for such an old kit
  25. Big s
    And that would be due to poor writing Not necessarily. People that knew her wouldn’t have expected that kind of attempt at all. The propaganda from the empire over the situation wouldn’t even have been bending the truth very far , especially with all the living witnesses
  26. Papa Rat
    Well I think it’s done but I want to go back in for some weathering and a matte topcoat. Had a lot of fun with this one. Paint was sloppy in spots, but I just pushed on. Some Orguss M.Lover, ♥️♥️♥️

    It's still at ridiculous Japanese Media levels of over-priced but for the month of May Plus is at $134.99.

    Been poking around trying to find things - are there any decent references for the YF-29's Super Packs? Been unable to find any on the Macross Mecha Manual. Worst comes to worse I'll find the issue of Chronicle it's in and scan them myself, but was wondering if someone else has done it for me. I've been unable to find the specific issue the Durandal is profiled in too, so anyone who knows which would be immensely helpful.
