    Having no story means they can’t screw up the story. I’m sure it may actually work for the oddballs at A24. Most of their movies don’t seem to have a story and by the end of their movies, you’ll often ask “What the heck just happened?” Just gotta hope it’s not one of their movies where you have to ask “Why did I watch this?” I still remember watching the Green Knoght in the theater. My lady hated it, while I enjoyed it and a large part of the theater room emptied by the halfway point. One of the few movies I went to see with a large amount of walkouts

    I’m no engineer, but might be something to do with keeping air flowing evenly. But I’m really just guessing. I’ll just call em speed lines for now

    How is this going to work exactly? Especially in a giant open world, open ended game like Elden Ring? Most people play From games for the gameplay, the story is nearly non existent in game unless you go out of your way to lore dive. I can safely say having played every From game, I have no idea what is happening in any one of them, the story isn't presented in a traditional manner at all, I watch every cut scene, talk to every character, and still have zero idea where I am, who I am, what's happening, who the bad guy is, it's mostly just nonsense and fun gameplay.

    Good news! Love more fantasy coming along.

    Somehow, GRRM will find a way to have himself further distracted by this.

    The most prominent aircraft I know of with similar features is the F-16, which is discussed here, with some up-close photos of what those stripes look like. The TLDR is that they prevent static build-up that could interfere with the radar. http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?/topic/140762-f-16-nose-cone/ Whether they were done for any reason other than aesthetics by Kawamori is up for grabs, but given he has an aerospace degree, I would not be at all surprised if he was fully aware of their real life purpose. I definitely learned something new though, I always figured they were structural stiffeners, or vortex generators. The YF-19/VF-19 nosecones have something similar, but they tend to be drawn as a more aerodynamic shape, so stiffeners/generators seem more likely.

    The artist is Naochika Morishita, who is rocking it lately. The recent YF-19 Fast Pack, Gluag, Queads, now this. He used to do some Macross Zero kits from Wave years ago if I recall This is really great box art.

    Introducing Lewin's take on Metroplex. I don't have space for it so it's going directly into storage as is. Shipping label said it was just over 100 lbs. but it sure felt a lot lighter than that. The shipping estimate was 40-70 days by boat, and it took 43 days from date of purchase to delivery.

    I like the illustration, i see they are using another artist now. Sounds like a question for the mecha fun type thread . Lol. But perhaps a special "chaser" vf scanning or recording equipment design. I only say that because it doesn't appear to be a standard VF-11 feature. I'm probably gonna break out and get one of these. I love VF-11's and the boosters are cool.

    Now that it features so prominently, I have to ask: Do those three accent lines on the nose of the VF serve any purpose? Or, would they serve a real-world purpose on a real-world aircraft? I know I've seen similar features before. I'm curious if they're strictly a consequence of design/engineering/construction, or if they're intentional like vortex generators and the like.

    Finding a crashed ship that apparently had hatches and levers (etc.) suitable for giants undoubtedly influenced SPACY in their design process. The Spartan seems to be a hybrid design between the heavy Destroid concept and the more nimble VF battroid designs.
  17. Radioguy
    Well, they changed the box too, apparently. Looks like they Photoshopped out the UN Spacy tampos from even the box images, and did a new print run on the box. Some great comparison images at the link below: https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/fugu-model-fg-01-god-of-flame-1-60-jetfire.1252186/page-93#post-23371581

    But seriously (well, half), these things have shoulder mounted missiles, cannons front and back... and freakin' valks have hands for no apparent tactical reason other than holding a ridiculous, handheld gun that makes zero sense (if design was considered BEFORE they knew they'd be tackling space giants). At least Spartans have big, heavy duty hands for both load handling and non explosive, close range tactical use on a SPACE ship where you don't exactly wanna be firing inside your own ship. In that regard these things make perfect sense.

    I'm waiting on Dark Ages DoomGuy, the Figma Eternal DoomGuy was absolutely awful, and basically only looked good standing in a vanilla pose. Also, if the cape isn't soft goods, it's the easiest pass ever, if they go with a big ass, heavy plastic cape they will ruin the figure period.

    I must've missed this post earlier. This looks amazing. I'm curious, did you build this in LDD or Studio2? I ask b/c I struggle with any number of things in Studio, especially its abysmal hinge tool that works improperly 95% of the time. Since I build transforming bots and sketch them in Studio, that hinge tool is a necessity and the fact that it seldom works right vexes and frustrates me to no end. An updated UCS style Imperial Shuttle is overdue and hopefully they'll produce one in the near future that addresses the faults of the first.

    Great find! Thanks for sharing the translation— gunspin always exciting to revisit classic titles like Macross 7, especially with a bit more context. Looking forward to diving into the story myself!

    Seems like it's not selling very well tbh. Probably from same unit fatigue, and maybe lack of faith in Bandai's quality after the last few 25 revivals. Only Ozma's Armored has been tightened up, but maybe those fixes aren't so well known, since its a web exclusive. Or maybe everyone prefers Michael's version like me, and we are all torpedoing its chances of happening by having Bandai learn the wrong lessons again lol.

    nice! the hard copy for switch (international version) also released, i'm getting that copy.

    @solar smash The upgrade kit with the illuminated panel sounds amazing. I'm sorry but it seems to be discontinued.
