    Nice work. Sometimes it’s the little upgrades that make a huge difference. I use an extra set of DYRL hands from a 1/60 V2 for my Yamato VF-1A Hikaru.

    I am losing hope in Witch Watch. I liked the show to begin with. But too many other men in the house. I find them annoying.

    Looking good! Which colors have you selected for the body and accents?
  7. Urashiman
    noice! I wonder why you use the extended Battroid mode GU11 there - but it kinda looks badass

    Oh, goody. I enjoy the heck outta this series even though the topics that are most near and dear, LEGO and Transformers, have already been done. I don't always care for the editing, as they make a lot of cuts in the testimonials by the people who were there for comedic effect, and I'd rather hear everything they have to say. The 80s was a special time, and I doubt, given the trends over the decades since, that anything like it will ever happen again. I think it's important to get the stories from these folks who created all these toys, many of which have become iconic. Too, these guys and gals aren't getting any younger, so the impetus for capturing their words, their memories and anecdotes is all the more significant.

    The extra hands that come with the FUGU Not Jetfire fit really well. I did have to go after the gun hand with a little love from the xacto knife, but it’s now a nice snug fit. Yay! I frakking hate the stock hands and they can’t even hold the gun. Now Roy is complete.

    I cut up a bunch of wings to drop flaps on my angel bird build but I was able to gather up enough parts to reassemble complete wings. 🍀 lucky.

    1J head in primer, barrels drilled out.

    Tail boom - I’m using some of the photo etch kit here and there.

    I ran out of Hasegawa GU-11s but I found this 80s one from the 1A Battroid kit, not sure which boxing but it was tan. The plastic was a bit brittle and it fell apart on me; I rebuilt it and added aluminum gun barrels. Beefy!
  15. Goodman Models
    The canopy with the kit comes a little too short, so I’ve extended it with a bit of sheet stock.

    Here’s the Livery. I don’t think it matches the armored valk model that appears in the magazine but I’ll do my best interpretation of this profile.

    Hey All, I started working on another Model Graphix Decal sheet bird! Here’s some wips of the fuselage. The thrusters are finished and will be taped up. I’ve tried a different mounting method for this VF; note the socket in the gear bay. I’ve also noticed that the 1J head does not fit in without splaying open the arms of the cockpit section, so I’ve dropped a couple of mm to allow it some clearance. I also corrected angle of the legs.

    Yeah, that conversation between Ozma and Alto is split across episodes 2 and 3 as a prelude to Alto joining SMS. Of course, one detail that is tactfully omitted in Ozma's explanation is that the reason SMS got the lucrative contracts to support the Frontier NUNS as an advance scouting force and elite special duty unit, as well as field testing the next-generation VF-25 and Macross Quarter-class carrier, is that the fabulously wealthy interstellar shipping firm that is SMS's parent company wields an enormous amount of influence over the Frontier Government. Macross Frontier and Macross Delta both remind the audience in various ways that the PMC troops get a pretty raw deal despite being paid better than the regular military. They are legally civilians and thus enjoy none of the benefits or legal protections afforded to the government's soldiers. If they die in the line of duty, no matter how it happens, it's legally an accidental death. There's no government pension, no death benefits, no promise of an inquest or board of inquiry into wrongful death, no military burial or memorial... nothing. On top of that, it's confirmed in-series that their status as armed civilians makes them unlawful combatants in wartime so they're ineligible for legal protections afforded to prisoners of war or regular civilians. Kind of the ultimate F-about Find Out situation... PMC troops are as close to legally expendable personnel as it gets.

    Ok, this build is done! Stay tuned for photos in the other forum. Thanks for following along!

    Custom Polycade-style cabinet. Very happy with it and I'm going to customize it further. Can sit on the pedestal or be wall-mounted.

    Another YouTube review incase someone missed something! 🤪

    That came out really nice. I’m especially drawn to the beautiful flat shaded side. It’s messing with my perception in a very cool way. 🤪
  26. Bolt
    That is very cool !

    Are you listening Arcadia???? I'd buy one!

    On the other hand, SMS is only equipped for the job because they're doing testing for the new fighter before the NUNS adopts it. And I recall there being lines to the effect that SMS was doing the testing primarily so that the government didn't owe anything to anyone if something went wrong. Independent contractors aren't entitled to medical benefits or compensation to next-of-kin, they're just up a creek if the lightly-tested plane decides to go project supernova under their chair or something. Ironically, in this case the gubmint probably paid out more in medical and bereavement due to their policy of being responsibility-dodging cheapskates.
