    As expected not everyone can be bothered to wait for the official release https://twitter.com/Ryunz8/status/747043957381570561 https://twitter.com/Ryunz8/status/746595373511127040

    You keep saying Valan was cleaning up which is completely and utterly untrue. Blowing up the ruins HELPED Windemere, not hindered them. He didn't seem in any way phased by that. And after that he frakks off. Do we see him taking command of the defense? No. Do we see him concerned with anything but high short-sighted plan of blowing up the ruins? No. Do we see him taking responsibility afterwards? No. Do we see him actively leading the evacuation? No. It's just "got my data and bye lol" Stereotypical slimy higher up stereotypically makes the situation worse and stereotypically run away from the consequences. Unless we start next episode with Valan actually leading the escaped fleet and island, you're very much wrong about his competence. The likelier option is that we start next episode with the heroes mainly left to fend for themselves while maybe an episode later stereotypical slimy higher up is in a stereotypical dark room looking at a monitor with the report of the incident and getting an evil grin about how they can stereotypically make the situation even worse later by messing with the ruins again. I get that you're unhappy with the main cast not performing or developing in a better way, but there's zero reason to polish the Valan turd.

    When has the high command ever been portrayed as having the greater good in mind? The common theme has always been snooty officers acting in self-preservation (which is very, very different than "the greater good") while the plucky if occasionally incompetent heroes have to go over their heads to actually save the day. It would be amusing if Delta actually swayed from that 40+ years of mecha anime history, but really, really unlikely.

    I'm pretty sure you have that last part wrong. Slimey NUNS guys get his data, then orders his own ship to retreat. It's not until the Song of the Wind starts that the Island sends an SOS because of the Var, it's only then that Chaos is the one to order the evacuation of the civilians. The episode is very specific in Valan saying RETREAT and disappearing completely from the rest of the episode, while Chaos has to find a way to clean up his mess and actually EVACUATE the civilians. I really don't understand why some of you are sucking up to the NUNS guy. What you call his "competence" is clearly portrayed by the show as the same evil, selfish high rank military crap as the previous shows.

    By itself? At the touch of a button? At that scale and with modern RC servos it just might be doable...

    The closes thing in size we have from Max Factory is the 1/12 scale Panzer IV, which was 14,800 yen. The 1/20 VF-1 would definitely be more, but probably not $500. 30,000 yen seems like a good upper limit. VF-1 will be almost twice as long but not twice the volume. Add the 3,000-ish yen 1/20 figure to fit with the price range of the rest of 1/20 figures they've released so far. 30k does "feel" about right, but it's still so early we have little to no information about how deep they'll be detailing it.

    I thought the Semi-NSFW warning would lead to Dani Jensen's Sheryl cosplay...

    #65702 VF-1J (2,000 yen) vs #65833 VF-1EX (3,400 yen) Unless they used the old CAD projections just for decal mock-up, that's gonna be one amazing 1,400 yen resin cockpit. VF-1A/J Gerwalk was 2,600 yen VF-1D Gerwalk was 3,800 yen, so the D tree and 3 resin figures added 1,200 yen.
  12. TMBounty_Hunter
    That is still the screenshots form the Modellers broadcast that announced it and yeah that's a 3DCG model

    Official Hasegawa listing is up. The cockpit is resin, so maybe that's part of the high price point? Don't have the moon skills for the rest. http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/product/65833/
  14. TMBounty_Hunter
    3,400 yen is quite the price. That's more than the Gerwalk or Super Battroid and just 200 yen shy of Super Gerwalk. This needs more info because the price increase from the standard 2,000 yen VF-1J is quite significant, surely it can't be just for the cockpit. Pre-ordering two anyway.

    Finally caught up with this after a few weeks distraction. So about that hole. We've been told that the various Protoculture ruins have roots going down to the planet core. Windemere has been said to not have long left due to the "wound". Now that the probable actual baddies have showed up with fancy equipment it sure looks like that Dimensional Kaboom 7 years ago was basically vivisection on an unknown organism to try and figure out how to use it and in usual sci-fi fashion, potentially eventually weaponize it? That's probably what shocked Mikumo so much. Fold magic binds the whole galaxy, right? So they've peered into the heart of a mortally wounded creature...?

    So what I'm seeing on twitter right now is that there's a 1/72 VF-4 model kit coming, from Wave? http://figsoku.net/blog-entry-26593.html

    So it seems they saw the insane success Kotobukiya had with Frame Arms Girls series and are having a go themselves https://twitter.com/digitamin/status/730570062940143616

    $349 for just a box with a heating element and not even a pump? What a ridiculous ripoff. Hobbyist have been making small scale vacuumformers out of scrap material laying for decades and that costs only an hour of your time. Got an oven and a vacuum cleaner? You're 90% there to a vacuumformer.

    Thanks guys! There were situations here where I applied it over the whole range from flat to gloss and it seemed to work very same-y through all that. I had rescribed with panel lines quiet deep because I flooded some of the OOB ones earlier so I didn't have the issues of it running out. However the stuff does seem very, very, very thin and to get the really black and cartoony panel lines I had to do multiple applications in some places to get enough pigment. EDIT: Well today was more fun than expected. Went to the http://www.torcanmodelshow.com/ The turnout in the Mecha category was pretty fantastic: http://i.imgur.com/EbtplWi.jpg http://i.imgur.com/EHI4i2j.jpg They ended up splitting the category into 1/100 and 1/144 and smaller Max got the Bronze and Focker the Silver in 1/100: http://i.imgur.com/lKlJhrI.jpg Gold in 1/100 went to the Ground Gundam iirc. I'm pleasantly surprised at this, I thought the competition was pretty stiff. Yay either way
