  1. Gunze Sangyo and Wave airbrushes are made by the same parent company that makes Iwata airbrushes. They are just marketed for different segments, Iwata to artist and Gunze Sangyo and Wave to hobbyist (at least in Japan, in the US only Iwata is sold and marketed). Gunze Sangyo airbrushes seem to have a price advantage over the Wave (not by much) and Iwata. A Procon Boy FWA Platinum 0.2 is 12,350 yen and the equivalent Super Air Brush Advance 02 is 12,850 yen. The HP-C Hi-line is $189.00, quite a bit more and it doesn't come with the optional crown cap (it allows you to get closer to the paint surface without splatter). F.
  2. here: http://page5.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/e43155002 Someone put it on DVD. Only 6000 yen. Of course if you want to buy the real thing: http://page13.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/r7705020 http://page13.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/r7999147 F.
  3. Ha, this is silly. I guess the scientists in this article forgot to take into account the effects that the solar wind would have on these particles. Yes, the outer planets will experience a slight increase in the density of interstellar matter but the innner planets will not experience anything at all. So unless the sun were to turn off, we have nothing to worry about. F.
  4. If money is no object, then get the Iwata HP-C Hi-Line: http://www.dixieart.com/High_Performance_P...Airbrushes.html You get a preset handle and an air control valve, which means you have total control over paint flow and spray pattern. It has interchangable nozzles from .2 mm for fine work to .4 mm for broader spray pattern. The HP-C Hi-Line comes with .3 mm standard. As to the other recomendations. I also own Paasche (H and VL) and Badger (200G and 150) but I have found that the Iwata gives you better paint atomization. It is easier to clean and less suseptable to clogging. It also has a teflon O-ring, which means I can spray whatever I want (Lacquer paint will eat regular O-rings) and clean the airbrush with whatever I want (Lacquer thinner will remove just about anything). Of the three brands that I have, Iwata is simply the best. F. P.S. just for FYI; I mostly build Japanse kits (aircraft and Macross) and resin figure kits.
  5. It's also on pre-order here, complete w/ Breetai and detroyed cannon for $8.56 more and $3.95 shipping: http://www.hobbyfan.com/index.php?cPath=242 I would rather get it from HobbyFan, a known entity, than from some obscure seller in HK. I didn't get the best recast with the booster project and now I'm not willing to try that again. F.
  6. Best type to get for hobby paints. Easiest cleanup. For brand name, get an Iwata brand. Model depends on how much you want to pay but they start at $60 for a Revolution CR and end at $300 for a Custom Micro C. Most hobbiest use the HP-C that is $130.

  7. I love this gamespot guote: lol F.
  8. Gee, based on what's going on now, you could say that it's France, Germany, Russia and China who are the Anti-UN forces. Or you could say that it's the US, Great Britain, Italy and Austrialia who are the Anti-UN countries. Depends on your political point of view. But since Macross was written in the 1980s, the obvious candidates for the Anti-UN forces would have to be the Communist block countries. f.
  9. heh, In one of the Veronica Mars promo, they quoted "this may be this years new Buffy the Vampire Slayer". If that's what they wanted, why did they cancel Buffy? Enterpise, I'm only watching this because I'm sure they will go back in time and eventually meet Jesus. F.
  10. Here's Mickey Mouse from Sparks from the same era: Can you raise both your hands and clap 'em Can you say, "sure, I'll always try" Can you make friends among people and animals Basically, everything is easy Give it a try, you'll see I'm right Cause if a mouse can be special, well so can you And my name is Mickey Mouse To the right is Minnie Mouse And we own a little place in Disneyland, California Let's have a party and be happy Can we invite our closest friends We can ask Donald Duck, Pluto, and all the gang And my name is Mickey Mouse To the right is Minnie Mouse And we own a little place in Disneyland, California Well, you should try to smile, dear Get yourself a pet deer dog cat bird pig lamb horse cow fish a goldfish mouse And my name is Mickey Mouse To the right is Minnie Mouse And we own a little place in Disneyland, California (Repeat six times with feeling)
  11. Also, consider that the tuna would have been freeze dried in a vacuum. They had no choice but to use it in a soup. F.
  12. GITS:I was boring, story wise. The first hour put me to sleep. The visuals were good but it didn't save the movie. I don't think this movie can be compared with Akira, it's not even in the same league. Akira was a full length feature movie. GITS:I is a 90 min tv episode for the big screen. F.
  13. How about night school at UCLA: http://www.uclaextension.edu/ You can take UCLA equivalent courses that transfer to any school. You can also meet women from all over the world. F.

    BT-0S

    You forgot something. F.
  17. They get back together and everything gets back to normal. Then every country in the world sends their candidate in the closing shot. F. PS - it is available for download (still) here: http://lilith.instrumentality.org/
  18. Hah, Queen Millenium and Space Pirate Captain Herlock are both licenced by...(sinister music)...Harmony Gold. And yes, they did the Robotech treatment and put both series together to form one story line. I saw this tv series back in 1985/1986 while in college in Santa Cruz, CA. Strange thing is that it was not shown in Los Angeles, meaning that very few and small markets got to see it (another strange thing was that Santa Cruz never got Robotech, at least not when I was there in the late 80s). F. P.S. I know this will probably start an argument, do they still have the licence etc. but being that it is Harmony Gold and they acquired the licence at the same time as Macross, they probably have the same kind of (we own everything, forever) contract.
  19. Shizura rocks. Goddaner is a great parady anime. F.
  20. Get the Cambell Hausfeld Model: FP2040. It's two gallons and fairly quiet, some people use this in their apartments. Best thing is that it's cheap, the retail list is $87.00 and you can usually find it in any of the big box stores (Wallmart, Sears, Home Depot, etc.). Ask a salesperson to run it for you so you can see if it's quiet enough. F.
  21. go to: http://www.doom9.org/ click on downloads and download the Gordian Knot Codec Pack 1.7. Install and it should fix your codec problem. F.

    Minmay statue

    This is from Ryuji's site in Brazil. He "Frankenstein's" his figures, which means that he takes parts from other resin figures and puts them together to form an original figure. He is currently working on another Minmay and you can see his tutorial here: http://hobbyfan.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=3065 F.
  23. I hope not since I refuse to buy any ADV products. And if they do, I hope it doesn't happen until December. F.
