NightCastle

I like how they have him couched in there...

...badum -bump!

I didn't see anything indicating when. Unfortunately.

Anyone else get a notification that the release date for this has been delayed? Ami Ami sent me one.

Thanks for the info everyone, the whole legalize and rights issues is the subject I need to look into. I'll need to consult my my lawyer friends to make sure I am within the laws.

Yeah. Be careful. I am well acquainted with lawyers and you can never be too careful in matters related to properties and the entities involved. While I would really love to see your pics become the book that you and others have described, I wouldn't want to see you suffer any negative repercussions due to legality. Take care and here is hoping you are able to make it happen.

Yeah. It was the first part of section 2.1 that is why I was concerned for the selling of the book.

I quoted the part of the section below:

2.1 Who owns What?

Because of the nature of photography and the business of photographing other works of art, most people become confused from the entanglement of the photo itself and its contents. These two are entirely separate animals; the photographer owns the copyright to the photo, regardless of the subject of the photo. So, while you (as the photographer) may have the right to license the photo to someone (because it is yours), the use of that photo may be restricted because the subject (the statue) is copyrighted by someone else. This is very similar to that of photos of people. If this concept is new to you, read Model Release Primer.

Unsure abt right issues tho...

Yeah, I was wondering about those as well.

My early Christmas gift to myself. Pardon the crappy pic and background. Added an AA battery for scale comparison.

Yeah, but I bet it does not have the magic ability to transform, like him in the movie, into a pristine Camaro.

Otherwise, Awesome!

Preordered one when my Yamato VF-4 is still MISB never opened!

Cool. Too bad your Yamato VF-4 is missing its pilot.

I'm not particularly fond of the weathered look, but I have to agree that the streaking is a great touch.

BTW, where have your valks been flying to acquire so much dirt and why isn't their maintenance keeping them clean?!?

Hey! What are those kittens looking at!

Oh, what the heck, got to protect the kittens.

nice contrast

Thinking of getting 3x, you must mean you will get 3. I'll probably just get 2, unless i change my mind and get 3. LOL

Hey! x could equal 2/3, which would mean he gets only 2. It could be 1/3 or even 4/3. So, the possibilities are quite huge considering he included a variable in his estimation of how many he might get.

Yeah. Too bad the table isn't to scale.

MISSB.

Mint in sealed Shipping box.

Highly desired.

Yep. That way it is a Schrodinger’s collectible.

BOW BEFORE ZOD...

...wait. That isn't me? Oh well. Carry on.

Oh, now that I have knocked you over; you are having a hard time standing up?

BWahahahahahaha!!

Sweet! Those valks are looking nice Kicker!

Shhhhhh.... Just let it happen... Everything's gonna be ok.

A-HAHAHAHAHA!!!

mumble...mumble...

...somthing about VF-171 or cannon fodder...

...mumble

Mine got cancelled as i never got the payment request nor was it in my junk folder, i emailed them about it and they basically gave me a 'just too bad' reply, i think i am done buying from them

I have had this happen to me on two occasions. The difference in my cases were that I was keeping up with posts on MWF and knew when to make my payment regardless of the e-mails. Everyone seems to believe that it is only an issue with SPAM filters. However, I receive other e-mails from them. Go figure. Best.

Question... If they're flying together... Who's piloting what? I'm pretty sure Ozma will ride the Armoured one.

It is a cross-dimensional fly-by silly!

The real question though is what did you think about the colors on frame 658 episode 3?

Hey! Don't bring frame 659's little brother into this!

They are now, but that's the intake and wing root of an F-106. Back in the 1960's through to the 1980's, we painted our Air Defense Fighters in this glossy isocyante based paint. The F-106 was grey, and I think most of them were a light grey. Dad's Air Defense Detachment painted their F-4's in the same color (giving the REGAF guys conniption). The low vis matte schemes started in the 1980's and became widespread when Strategic Air Command and Tactical Air Command merged to become Air Combat Command.

Ok. I guess we learned from the glossy previously, right?

Yeah Nightcastle, this is what I meant by "Museum pieces" They are usually scattered all over military bases.

Ahh. Ok. Cool. Thanks.

I actually kinda like the glossy finish on the VF-25's and VF-171's kinda reminds me of this:

Wait! I thought AF planes were supposed to be matte.

I used to live on an Army base with landing field and we had an Army airbase really near where I lived. I also used to go to the Ramstein AFB a lot when I lived in Germany. All of the fighters that flew around there were in matte. Anything that was shiny was usually a museum or display plane at the front gates of the base or what not.

Cool. I appreciate the history of your knowledge and subsequent preference.

With all that translucent plastic; it looks as if it should light up. Does it? If not, can it be modded to be like that or would it destroy it to try to mod it like that?

Most combat aircraft are matte, not shiny. Blue Angels and such are shiny because they are for air shows, and the public. Same goes for airliners. They want their birds to look clean, a pretty. Something reflective and glossy would be a detriment to your survivability in combat. Space, or otherwise.

Ok. Thanks. That makes sense. As I am not part of the military, I never see military planes up close.
