    I mainly mean as in stripes etc. Changing the base color a bit still makes it monotone low-vis. I don't want it as flashy/gaudy as Delta squadron, but I do want SOME color, particularly in battroid mode. I always love when a valk "reveals" additional color/striping when in battroid mode. The -19 does that best.
  2. David Hingtgen
    If they ever make a -31A with a bit more color, I may change. But for now----still Team Mirage.

    Also, "America-class" is SUCH a much better name than "Ford-class". (personally, I think there should be a rule like "a person must be dead at least 2-3 years before getting a ship named after them". There are way too many "knee-jerk" namings, right after someone dies. Let some time pass. THEN they can get a ship named, if it's appropriate. Not "person X died last Tuesday, what's the next ship coming up?"

    Too big of a gap. It was supposed to be CVN-78 USS America. But then Ford died, so of course he got a carrier named for him. Then the Kennedy was decommissioned, so of course congress made the next carrier the JFK. So we have no USS America and a long gap with no Enterprise----which are two names that should always be present. (ESPECIALLY Enterprise).

    Darn it, you posted it before I could! But yeah, it's totally a Hornet's ladder.

    Eh, she's not in the cockpit in that shot.
  7. David Hingtgen
    I dont think anyone truly does besides Kawamori.

    Transformation kinda VF-9 ish, for the arms?
  10. David Hingtgen
    Wow, not watching BSG because of that? Because all the characters have 10x more characterization that the originals. You're really, really missing out. If you like sci-fi, you owe it to yourself to not miss the best series of all. (Yup, better than DS9)

    The gun isn't needed to fill the forearm. It just seems that like 90% of people don't close the arm back up if they remove the gun parts. See here: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/attachments/transformers-3rd-party-discussion/27417960d1391975406-fansproject-stunticons-menasor-aka-m3-intimidator-img_0542.jpg That is how the forearm is supposed to look. PS----read this and do this: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/tutorials-how-tos/1003017-fansproject-diesel-tight-waist-area-fix.html On mine, I didn't remove anything, but I did sand down the ratchets. I also sanded the skirt/armor vs simply scraping away the seam lines. Trust me, it makes transforming Diesel way easier.

    Sv-51 has separate bay/strut main gear doors, too.
  13. David Hingtgen
    We see Royal Guards. Give me Kir Kanos.
  14. David Hingtgen
    I generally use the same rule for valks as for airliners---if you CAN close a door after the gear is down---do so. (I imagine that the actuators etc for valk gear doors can be super-tiny due to overtech, and so have plenty of room to do so---vs being moved by the actual gear itself like in smaller planes)

    Oh yeah, I forgot about the Zeta 3 being pink. Man, I wanted that one most of all. (If if was properly purple).
  16. David Hingtgen
    If that new Lightning Zeta is actually molded in PURPLE, I might get it. But every single "Amuro's purple-accent scheme" Gundam kit ever, always turns out to have blue plastic. (but all the painted promo shots always have purple).
  17. David Hingtgen
    Count me in the "AtAt and AT-ST" group. Inconsistent, but that's how it is.
  18. David Hingtgen
    There's a difference between "silly and fun" and "just plain stupid/unbelievable".

    UW Computron's colors are much better than I thought they'd be. I almost think they went semi-toy-inspired for the colors, but the pattern is animation. No idea where red Afterburner came from though, he's pure orange in both toy and toon form.
  20. David Hingtgen
    Nah, Zero has way more "magic" as in different types from different sources. (Always totally unexplained) This became apparent in later viewings. M7 just has "anima spiritia". Seto--/those are valid points, I'll have to research/think more about valks and G's.
  21. David Hingtgen
    Whoa whoa whoa/---an entire episode of Macross 7 Plus was focused on Gamlin's G-training and how strenuous it was----and that was in a VF-11. And I'm pretty sure I recall Alto getting thrown around in the cockpit during hard maneuvers in his -25. So I doubt that the -31 could just magically completely eliminate G-forces. Especially for people outside the cockpit.
  22. David Hingtgen
    Admiral Gamlin, of course.

    I believe it's all white paint everywhere. Body, headlights, wheels.

    And raw amount of merchandise----Mirage wouldn't have her own figure etc coming already if she was "just" a pilot. She's got more stuff than most of the idols.
  25. David Hingtgen
    Erm, they all came molded in multiple colors. Sure, you needed paint/decals/stickers to finish them, but Michael's was blue and Luca's was green and they all had grey "internal" bits and a few colored accent bits.
