Agreed; I also don't like how the arms mount to the body there either. And the legs are just plain fugly...

From the top it gets ugly the way the intakes stick out at the sides.

Anyone know where to get a good high res image of this poster? This may just be me seeing what I want to see, but I think there are some interesting designs in the background that I'd LOVE to see made into toys/models.

Looking good Tek! -
I think the saucer needs to be a little bigger.

Actually, it was scratch built from masking tape and cardboard (and a few scrap model parts): This was it in progress circa September 30, 2021; this is how it began: The original posts begin here- https://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/35120-whats-lying-on-your-workbench-mk-iv/page/317/#findComment-1596128

@pengbuzz I already typed this yesterday, but I must have clicked away from the tab before sending it and lost it. Great story, and I have to chime in with praise for your wife. Actually, my wife is the reason why I got back into this hobby about 26 years ago. She came home from work with an AMT Star Wars AT-AT plastic model from the hobby store on the corner where her bus stop is. She asked me, "You know how to build models, right? You've built them before. Build a doggy horse for me!" (That's what she always called Imperial Walkers and they were her favorite part of Star Wars. She even has a Kenner AT-AT toy.) So I built it with only minimal painting, just leaving the gray plastic as-is and wiped some enamel on it for a bit of weathering. Since then, I've grown modeling experience from there. I'm glad she bought that for me, because I then remembered how enjoyable the hobby is. It's good to have a wife who's supportive of your hobbies. So is that Cat's Eye a resin kit?

Describes ThreeZero's Robo-Dou VF-1s, too! 👍

Model cement won't work on that kind of plastic; it looks to me like too much pressure was applied to it during assembly and it let go. I recommend Permatex Plastic Welder (order via NAPA or Amazon); I've had excellent luck with that. It's a 2 part epoxy like adhesive with tremendous hold and strength: https://www.amazon.com/Permatex-84145-Permapoxy-Black-Plastic/dp/B00THUUVSU

So after a recent trip to galloping ghost.. I found a capcom game called Tech Romancer. It came out in 1998 in arcades and also had a Dreamcast port. It has a mech called wiseduck, which is very close to the Monster.. doing some research,, and no wonder https://capcom.fandom.com/wiki/Tech_Romancer Mechanical Design: Shoji Kawamori, Kazutaka Miyatake

Maybe if this were the OG series Enterprise I'd bite, the D is cool, but just not my jam, I still have my massive Playmobil Enterprise so that's good enough for me I guess.

Not to be overly harsh, but I feel like the nacelles are the only shape there that really works well. The angled panel patchwork is a lot harsher when you can't cover it up with greeblies like the Falcon sets. I have to think there are enough angled tiles available to get that edge smoother. Still, will be happy to grab one. I think the colors on the edge of the saucer are causing some issues though. I think I do see a tiny shuttle mounted behind the main bay as well. Actually.. I'm kind of tempted to get two, and rebuild one as the Galaxy-X. I feel like the extra superstructure and phaser cannon would cover up some of the uglier parts.

so a year later.. and I found the other 2 V1 style watches that I was missing. VF-1A Cannon Fodder V1 And VF-1D

AND it comes with Picard's teacup and Riker's trombone...

Zero packing material via Amazon Japan. 😕 What you see is all there was. Inner box looks alright. 🙂 I’ll inspect later.

Wow, that's pretty impressive if those are actual pics of the set. It'll look even better with all the livery, no doubt a lot of stickers. I wonder if it comes with a little shuttle for away missions? Good fig selection. Price is steep, but not unexpectedly so. I imagine both sections can open up for access, so playability looks good, especially with that separable saucer section.

Thanks, man, and an advanced happy birthday to you! I didn't get the large '66 Batmobile, but for sure, I was eyeballing it for parts and I definitely noticed those windshields. I'm not sure what use I'd have for them, though, but they are cool nonetheless. I have soooo many different canopies that I've collected over the years that it'd take probably take me another fifty to use them all. but options are nice. agree with you regarding Bumblebee- just wasn't up to Optimus's level (different designers, and to be fair, Joe Kyde, the designer of LEGO OP used to work for Hasbro designing...you guessed it: Transformers, including a few OP toys, so he had a leg up, so to speak). Sam Johnson, who designed Bumblebee, also designed LEGO Voltron, but his Bee was a little weak coming after Prime. Soundwave, by all appearances, seems to restore faith. I've a ton of Insiders points, so I threw some on an order of Soundwave and the new Speed Champions Lamborghini two-pack. Love the SC sets- little masterpieces in their own rights. Hopefully, I'll be building Soundwave this weekend. I wish you every success on your Shuttle/Carrier redesigns. That set aesthetically just doesn't live up to the Icons Shuttle Discovery set or the Ideas Saturn V Rocket, a masterclass in design.

Not just over the weekend. At least twice now a several posts just vanished. Doesn't look like it was purposeful moderation, in one case it was basically every post over a 14-hour stretch. I don't know if it's happening in other topics or sections of the board, I noticed it hear because this is where I'm most active.- 17480 replies

👆 - It's only the Ozma 25S all I care about. 😁 Yeah, Bandai and those Lego type decals was the motivator to paint all my gundams in military schemes, which turned out to be a better thing.
