  1. Just picked up a VF-11D today (even though I said I would pass on it when it was first announced ). Going to use the order form from the VF-11B's instructions, and get the gunpod parts, and another decal sheet. Ta-da! UN Spacy VF-11D.
  2. Very nice, sure blows my build out of the water! Yeah, I had the paint adhesion problem, too; luckily mine was confined to the underpart where the legs attach to the body, so no one will see it anyway. I had thought about fitting Miria in the cockpit too, but mine's head was too tall, and the canopy never fit quite right.
  3. OK, just Googled "automobile in Russian", and Производители and Автомобили в России came up. Guess they're a Japanese car export company.
  4. I took this picture in Otaru, Japan, back in 2003. I have no idea what this company does, or even if they still exist. Oop, my mistake. It's actually taken in May of 2004.
  5. Bought myself a 1/72 scale VT-1 Super Ostrich from Club M/Yellow Submarine. I did that from the trip my wife made for us to Tokyo for Christmas weekend.
  6. If you're old enough to remember when this was a real news item, and a real, working phone number, take a deep breath, and say it with me: "You damn kids get off my lawn!"
  7. Apologies if this isn't the right place to ask. Heading down to Tokyo for Christmas, and I'd like to get a little shopping in. No problems in finding the current plastic kits up here, but there seems to be a drought of the older resin kits. Any good suggestions on where to search? I am going to spend some time in Akihabara, just need a definite location there. Probably also going to be in Shinjuku a while, too. Thanks!!
  8. My imagination is more running (and hoping/dreaming/praying) that either Hasegawa or Wave will get the rights to produce 1/72 Messiahs, to save us from those horrible Bandai creations.
  9. Just watched the whole thing. About what I'd expect for a Japanese produced live action adaptation. Basically, they redid the episode where there was the rumored Japanese "Spring of Drowned Boy" hidden in Furikin High School. HOWEVER- Kasumi was way to old (I'd swear she was in her late 30's), they had Nabiki working in a Hostess Club (which does make some sense), Dr. Tofu worked for the High School, Akane had some mystical pendant for no real readily explained reason, no Ryoga or any other supporting characters, and yes, the panda suit sucked ass. If you're a big fan of Ranma, watch it for the nostalgia, then go back and watch the anime. That's what I wanted to do.
  10. (I miss the sub-title option. I would have called this "Give me a boost!", with the kit info in sub-title) So, here it is. D.D. Ivanov's SV-51 gamma, with the boost engines. Built right out of the box. Got a little over-enthusiastic on the sanding, though; lost some of the nose details by mistake....
  11. ahh heeemmmmmm http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=34904&hl=&fromsearch=1
  12. First time I'd ever heard of either of these bands was when I saw them live in San Antonio, Texas, back in 1992. Funnest show I've ever been to. http://youtu.be/pwSPMATtiFY
  13. Airs Friday night, at 9 I believe. I'll tape, and see how it is. No idea when I'll actually get a chance to watch it, though.... Whoops, no, it's at 7. Still gonna tape it, though.
  14. And I thought Plus and Zero has some awesome animated dog-fighting... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amPNbQRMRCo Go to YouTube and watch it in full screen if you can. Very intense.
  15. Nah, you should have posted the Black Metal Friday.
  16. It's Thanksgiving already? I totally have no idea when the holidays are now. I have to remind people here that Christmas is actually the 25th, NOT the evening of the 24th.

    http://page13.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/r83917337 Cool8or's photo's strike again! This time, as a Yahoo Japan auction. What me to drop them a line and tell them to knock it off?
  18. Are we looking for good quotes, or atrocious ones?

    Huh??

    So, a while back, I was searching for a little info on an old Arii kit, the System Fortress, South Ataria Found this one guy's blog, and he did a real good job with the base. But when it came to the Valkyries, he obviously has never seen Macroos/Roboblech, and he probably didn't look at the instructions very well. Why, oh why are the gunpods TOTALLY backwards? Why is there an extra head in Gerwalk mode? On the VF-1A Battroids, why are the heads on backwards? :huh: To see the original post, go here: http://www.surf-the-...blurp-no70.html
