Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
Hikaru Ichijo SL replied to UN Spacy's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I watched episode 6 of this season. I finally enjoyed it. Maybe because the pompous Captain Pike was not in it mas much. Also it was nice seeing Kirk and his future crew together. -
Why would it be white? It usually looks more gray in the show. I really didn’t get a great look at them in the movie version though. i was thinking more like a few junkers got parts together from things in the Macross 2 universe and kinda slapped things together
-
I really love the movie version and would also get at least one tv version. The only thing other than larger ships would be the gnerl fighter and I’d definitely get at least one of them

I think my biggest gripe with the entire design is just what insane nonsense they made the lower legs into. Like... just why did they make them do that? And is it even necessary, or are they just really fond of showing off how many moving parts the legs have?
-
Very excited to see Hasegawa continue their build out of the kits...the TV Quead should be fantastic! Such a strange offering for the VT-1 Gerwalk 'return to earth' mode from the movie, would never have guess that was in the queue. And really looking forward to the Mercy Rabbit box art for these, should be epic. We know the Nousjadeul-Ger has coming in 2026, where else are the going to go? Maybe some new Zentradi ships? A 1/4000 matching Nupetiet-Vergnitzs would be my #1.

Wow, it took me more than a month before I completed my review of the Macross F 2025 concert. Anyway, it will be in 2 parts. I've also made a rough setup of the stage used in the concert for reference. During the telecast in our cinema, a black screen would swipe across the screen left to right and then back to the left, disrupting sometimes important scenes! It happened at every set intervals but at another cinema, it was different! The telecast was interrupted for a short time and the bottom of the screen has noise interference but no black screen swipes. Also , the camera director would failed to capture the dramatic ending of to a song when the singers would strike a pose! Instead if a close up or mid shot from the front, he would switch to a strange angle somewhere from the right side of the stage. Let’s hope it’s a different cut when it goes to the Blu-ray format!

I appreciate a fresh set of eyes on this classic design, and as I watched that video it did sort of break my mind thinking 'the parts aren't supposed to do that' lol I sort of view it like a Mimic...where it looks human, but suddenly opens its mouth at the base of its neck to eat you. If I find one cheap enough I'll bite just for the weirdness of it. I feel they looked at the market full of all the other 'screen accurate' valks and made their own market. Really can't wait to see their interpretation of the Fast Packs. And they kept the 'Keep Clean', love it. My only real gripe is the landing gear length. It reminds me of the original Yamato 1/60 V1 prototypes from 2001. I thought that was the shortest landing gear I'd ever seen in a valk until now. But at least they made it white!! (hint hint Bandai)

@VF-1A Grunt - Do it! It's a beautiful kit!

Beginner's Model Building Construction BASICS
Goodman Models replied to MechTech's topic in The Workshop!
What Peng said; also if you have a super glue spill you can use Debonder to remove it without damaging the plastic. It will remove paint also but you can repaint the area. Check for it at your LHS, Amazon etc. -
I built one of the Bandai rereleases of that kit the first round a while back and still have fond memories of it. There appears to be more surface details on the old kit since it’s based more on the detailed art rather than the tv line art and show appearance. Although I kinda wish it had that extra surface detailyou can see the tv one is much smoother like the new kit, but most of the extra detail would just take a bit of thin plastic sheet. The added venting stuff would be a bit more difficult though
-
I’m onboard for the Queadlunn-Rau. The old IMAI kit was my very first model kit build and what got me into this hobby last year and I’m so excited to get a new “more accurate “ version in the mix.

The standee and patch can now be added to an existing backing: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/madoverlord/macross-ii-lovers-again-alus-edition/posts/4472714?ref=ksr_email_mktg_auto_backer_project_update_registered_users -
I personally just really like the black and green, but often I do like the grunts
-
Thanks, I’ll just order one kit for now. I may just do it in the standard colors regardless. I’ve never been a huge fan of the “hero” schemes because I like the generic and squadron schemes to represent regular pilots in the series. I’m guessing that if they offer the standard version, it will just have the blank faceplate like the movie version.
-
If we want, we could imagine this as a heavily modified/updated version of the VF-1 series that is still active into the Frontier era. These were still used as trainers, but I can see this as a still viable combat version.
-
They’re the same other than color, although you may want to wait a bit and see if they do the standard color version with a slightly different pilot, but it would only be very slightly different if anything
-
That looks fantastic so far! I have that kit, still unopened in the box. I've never even looked at the parts. I didn't think my modeling skills were up to the challenge when I bought it years ago, so I've been putting off doing anything with it. I did get a set of canopies from member Goodman Models a couple years ago. Maybe it's time to open the kit and at least see if all the parts are intact!
-
Got mine a week ago from Amazon Japan. First time seeing one IRL; it’s a lot smaller and more delicate (e.g., see vertical stabilizers) than I expected, but it’s not exactly fiddly. And I’m grateful for that.
-
Very cool, I'm glad to see both of these new models. It's interesting how the VT-1 product description says, "The kit is composed of parts that allow you to choose between the Gerwalk Fighter and the Gerwalk." I assume that means it will include the arms tucked in for Fighter mode as shown in the product artwork or the arms extended out like normal Gerwalk mode (which I don't think was ever shown in the movie). It was always interesting to me how it was portrayed in the movie, that Hikaru only extended the legs when they landed and never fully transformed it into Gerwalk mode. I don't know much about the Queadluun Rau appeared in the TV series and only really have the Macross Mecha Manual to reference. It doesn't appear to me that the standard Queadluun Rau has any detail differences vs. Millia's. Here's the "Standard Battle Colors" version from the Macross Mecha Manual. I'm considering ordering two kits so I can do one in this color scheme as a "wingman."

Got my Riobot Tread today from Bombusbee. Very happy with it. Had a hard time finding one that wasn’t like almost 500 euro to ship to The Netherlands. It just showed up in stock one day with a price of just 273 euro. I couldn’t believe it but pressed buy now immediately. Thank god I didn’t wait, were gone pretty soon after that.
-
Looking at the connectors for the shoulders and legs (especially in Gerwalk and Batroid modes), I wouldn't count on it retaining much stability. Exhibit A: Try to "woosh" that around your room, and it's going to start spewing more parts than a Deep South pickup truck after Junior dun' tried to fit'er with' nitrous oxide for that "extra special punch"! O.o
-
Here’s the description for the Queadluun Rau from hobby searchI’m just really glad it seems they changed up the necessary stuff rather than just doing what they did with the Macross kit
-
Everything listed is up for preorder, I checked an hour ago and they weren’t there, but they’re up now. I ordered the Queadluun Rau and looks like November release, but not sure how shipping and such will go down by then
-
will this be a wide release or pulse exclusive?
