pics of tat please?

Kelsain... i made good money selling my old warhammer and battletech stuff on ebay last year. All I held on to was my unseen/battletech/macross chess set pieces, and my ork battlewagon which was published once upon a time. I am one of the reasons that they revamped the rules... something against mounting an interplanatary defence laser on a battle wagon got left out the first time and lets just say I was undefeated till banned LOL.

I will see about a tattoo picture later. I scanned a picture of the page in put the scanner has picked up and enhanced all the imperfections in the book paper, I actually had to clean up the copies of the picture I made before I got my tattoo and carried around in my pocket for a year before I got it because the copy machines ll did the same thing. Trying to figure out how to attack a PDF to my post now.

I attempted to scan the waterslide transfer sheet too, but those decals are white on a white background they are ona 1994 eldar dreadnaught transfer sheet. I couldn't find a black one, they are identicle to what Kelsain posted above though so you may be looking for a different variation.

I posted the pic in my Gallery, I'll probably have to remove it because it's not Macross related.

You can see the attmpt at scan of the white on white decal sheet was a fail.

I have the book, (And I got a tattoo of that very same picture about 9" across on my back around 1994/1995) I don't have a scanner though. I could make a photocopy and send it to you if you can't get the scan you need.

I've also got a copy of the old 40K compendium that they release din the UK with the early White dwarf supplemental rules featuring all of the Eldar and Harlequin rules and figure info, I'll try to remember to pull it out tonight and see if there is a good picture of what you are looking for there too.

I'll ask some friends and see if anyone I know has a scanner.

Not yet, but sooon

I don't know if you've seen the full two minute trailer they are running in theatres right now, but seriously, once you do, there is no point in seeing this film, youve seen every key action sequence, and with the exception of a few plot points that drive them to the battles you know the story.

I am really sick and tired of trailers made to lure in the LCD spoiling every cool/funny/clever/surprise/shock in films. Blech.

Wow. That looks Spectactular!!!!

Right now the plan is to hang out with Steve at his table, he will have some studio scale stuff (likely cast by me!), and i am hoping to bring along some 1/48 goodies....Hope to see you guys there again, I am hoping to not be so stuck at the table again this year.....

thanks

Cool. I just booked my room, I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to make it this year due to a work obligation / conference in Florida, but it will nto conflict so I'll defiintely be by to see the table. hopefully I can scratch together some decent fun money again this year

I'd like to bring a couple models to put in the show, it's been a busy year between my job and recently moving into a new house that has required some "Fixing Upping", but We'll see.

It was MSLZ22, he has the skills, but that guy is about as busy in the kit business as anyone on earth. If he makes one and a kit available I'll be in line to get one, but I wouldn't hold my breath until he has the opportunity. PS check out his current regult thread, i's pretty spectacular.

I went and checked this morning.

It looks like therpf domain is still in the hands of the hackers. there has been a lot of activity the thwart the spoof site and to get it back but it seems like that will be a beurocratic wiating game. thereplicapropforum site seems to have been secured, but I don't know if the hacker can still get in and screw around on the new board, from what I've read they seem to feel pretty confident that the new board is safe for the time being.

The whole thing is really very rediculous. I'd advise still staying away from therpf.com site.

This morning they were saying on the boards that there was concern on thereplicapropforum.com that the hackers had gined admin access to the new site as well. I'm not sure about either of them for right now.

I know there are several members who are part of this site and the Replica Prop Forum, in case you haven't been over there last week their site was hacked and stolen, their Domain was stolen and transferred to another owner and a spoof site has been set up, presumably to harvest people's information (why else would you do that?)

I haven't seen any warnings about virus or information theft, but they have apparently hacked admin access on the new replacement site as well.

I don't have any advice to offer other than be careful with logging on to those sites. I'm not completely internet illiterate, but I also don't overestimate my knowledge when it comes to stuff like this.

Boy time goes by fast, I have been sooooo busy with casting to help Nice-N catch up that i have not even gotten started on the 2nd build for the guide, I have been doing stuff for him non stop since Sept. I am planning on getting to it around mid Jan and will document it well here, maybe even a separate build thread. I am going to light my 2nd build, i need to order some fiber optics and LED's for the build. I just built up a new work area dedicated to builds and scratchbuilding only, I really hope it will streamline some stuff....i can't believe how much of a mess i make sometimes.

Hope everyone has a terrific holiday....and hope to see some of you guys at WF 2012, yes my thoughts turn right to spring after the holidays.

Are you going to have a table at WF again? If so, and you wanted to give a brotha some hints about stuff that might be available, you might entice me to pack my wallet and get in the car in May

I like the fact that the info that this is a recast house cheating our members is available. Maybe links to the legit source for these kits through the approved sellers as an option might be a good way to go? Like Don't buy from site www dot jerkysaurus d oit crom , they are available for pre-order on castings from: (insert correct ssm link here?)

I've been out of the loop for the last several weeks moving to a new place. Have the final installments begun (or finished) shipping?

I am a huge fan as well, and I thought Flapjack was one of the best cartoons on TV since Ren & Stimpy, so put me in that camp. On of the things that I love about the show is that it is clear that the jokes for Jake, who is voiced by the actor that does Bender on Futurama, are written specifically with that Bender tinge but a little more kid oriented. I also love the randomness of lots of the humor.

Final payments sent. Great pics, the size of it next to that soda can makes me giddy

Pretty much Standard Operating Procedure for recasters isn't it? Obviously if there's something we don't know and the masters were sold to this outfit I'll retract my statement, but looks like like straight up recasting to me. just goes to show you, if you make something awesome, they will copy it.

Most liquor stores around here put their boxes out for people to take, two case boxes with a little creative cutting make great shipping boxes with a little package paper to cover the logos. You can use the excess bits you cut off to help pad the inside a little to prevent damage. I've used them to ship several valks around.

I didn't realize he sold any, I put a deposit down and then the project got cancelled. I never asked for my money back because I thought he got shut down pre-production and was out a bunch of cash. That's lame.

I'll keep my eyes peeled for that sale thread. I got a couple from the initial run, I've had one in my truck and the other in a detolf shelf since then and they both still look great.

Looking amazing! You are closing in on the finish line with this massive project, How's it feel? Will you be building one or more yourself?

I'ts showing my age, but about ten years ago when I was going to Anime Weekend Atlanta regularly they showed a video of music by Peter Gabriel, the song was Rythm of the Heat and the video was composited off clips from Princess Mononoke, it was one of the best AMV's I have seen to date. i couldn't find a good copy to link because of the BMG block on youtube, anyhow if you haven't seen it, it's a classic, but it's great.

Oops, installment payment incoming tonight when I get home from work, sorry I missed the note the other day.

I finished Dance with Dragons a couple weeks ago, my friends and I didn't think it was weak, but it is a "middle book" as a stand alone story it wouldn' tmake any sense but its not a stand alone story and it has set up a number of events and characters that obviously are going to play a huge role in the finale of the series. Plenty of signficant events happen in the book and it was basically playing catch up with a bunh of characters storylines that were cut from the last one due to length. I still have high hopes for the series ending very strong.

Here's a list of the things that I think were crucial to the storyline that happened in Dance with Dragons

And there were several more seemngly minor events that you know as a GRRM reader are likley to end up being critical to the storyline. Anyhow, all that to say that everyone wasn't disappointed with the last book, or that last two for that matter.

I'm missing 13 panhead 2.0 x 6.0mm

2 flathead 2.0 X4.0mm

1 of the "Bubble top" 1.8 X 6.0 mm screws.

and I ended up with 9 extra various screws of the other types that I plan to scavenge to fill gaps where I can.

I searched the big hardware stores like Lowe's and Home depot and they didn't have anything if use, then I went to the little ace hardware store down the street and they have a magnificant selection of screws, and in fact a Metric Mini Machine Screw assortment, I'll be going back with my list, hey didn't have 4mm length screws but I can probably cut down the 6mm screws if necesary.

Anyhow, if there is an Ace Hardware near you, they might be worth a try and get you closer to a complete set wihtout having to mail order and pay shipping and handling.

Exactly my thoughts too. One of my other hobbies is RC helicopters, and I have a feeling that I can probably scrounge some of the screws from my RC spares. For anything I can't find easily locally, there's always McMaster-Carr supply co. It just would have been nice if the hardware had all been present out of the box - my post was more a cautionary note than a major gripe

Thank you for doing it too. I am about 50 kits behind and digging deeeper every month so probably would have just shelved it for a while without giving it a second thought.
