  1. @Urashiman Just reiterate to yourself, like a mantra, 'I rebuilt the entire nose. I rebuilt the entire nose. I rebuilt the entire nose...' You got this!
  2. Indeed, an awesome collection! Makes me wish they would do a Macross series just about them.
  3. Main turrets are done, including secondaries though not in this pic. Construction is almost finished. And since that's not done, I started something new! USS Stingay, NCC-1911, a single nacelle border patrol destroyer, made from the 1/1000 Enterprise kit. Have to box that in a little bit...
  4. "The living room, the dining room - the variable fighter room..."
  5. All fans of Robotech, you are not to blame. Do yourself a favor. Come to Macross. They have cookies! And on the plus side, (spoilery)
  6. Really liking that Spit now @MechTech!
  7. Caught up now to episode 7 now and I'm really enjoying it! I love the tie in between Eleven's youth and Vecna. Nicely tied together. I have to fight myself to keep from binging the rest.!
  8. Despite their divergent courses, and HG's choke-hold on the West, Macross itself has only grown and expanded while the Robotech branch has stagnated. I think there has only really been the three chapters in Robotech, the Macross Saga, The Masters and the Third Robotech War. All constrained in their story telling, esp the last two, seeing as HG were using visuals from three completely different anime. Not the best start but also not bad either, at least from my then13 year old perspective. But that's been it, and it has more to do with HG's lack of creativity and the need to continually ride on Kawamori's coat tails. HG has had a number of sequel ideas over the decades, but that has been all they've been, just unrealized ideas and continued boasting of something grander on the way. Shame really, as I recall reading the books by Kinney, again my 13 year old self, and they were at least alright. But then compare that to M7, the tie-in games, Frontier and Delta and the rich history they all came from. HG had a chance, but they let it slip away.
  9. What I keep wondering is why people keeping waiting for Robotech stuff when they know it is just watered-down Macross? I know HG had a lock on the Western market, but I still managed to get the original series DVDs on my shelf.
  10. I've had good and 'ho-hum' experience with Academy. Here's to hoping for a good turn!
  11. One awesome Eagle!! Or is that the title to the next Iron Eagle movie..?
  12. Fantastic!!
  13. Watched First Kill, and it was actually pretty good. Romeo and Juliette meets vampires and monster hunters. Maybe a little too teen-soap a times, but entertaining. And Legacies. Saw the first few episodes of season 1 and it's not bad. Has a Nancy Drew vibe and better special effects than First Kill.
  14. If they had ditched all the Emmerich crap, concentrated on the ancient alien aspect and dealing with the AI it would have been so much better. Instead there was all the stupid crap, including the car commercial! C'mon!!
  15. No9 was pretty good too. I was expecting something zombie-ish, but the alien-esq approach was nice.
  16. Fantasic work Pengbuzz! And just so you know, the real reason Hikaru is down is because you made a knock out Misa!
  17. Lovely!
  18. Another fun season from the Umbrella Academy. They never fail in the whole 'fun family dysfunction' thing. Overall, it was as good as the previous seasons, though I don't think it was any better.
  19. @derex3592 Good looking skylights. Good luck on the surgery and enjoy the 'rest.'
