    Wowza.

    In my search for 3D models to use as references, I have spent time perusing this thread, and not just looking at the pretty pictures. It is actually really cool to watch the history of this thing play out. That head is too damn cool. Too bad my wife won't let me spend $100 on something like that... yet.

    I'm still not buying into the mecha designs, but I am hopeful that GdT will tell a fun and engrossing story. My wife may veto this one just because she wants Hellboy 3 so badly, but maybe we can find a babysitter when it comes out.

    Hello all! Just a quick update: Thus far I have received a VF-25 model, which is good b/c I have a MacF project stewing in the back of my head. But I have also received a low-res SDF-1 in Storm Attacker mode, which is great because my current inspiration is a DYRL?-themed pen and marker drawing. So, please, please, please, please... if any has anything they can contribute, please let me know. At this point I am specifically looking for Strike and Super VF-1 models, low-res with no skins (or do you call them textures? I don't know) are fine. Just something that I can move around in space to give me the right perspective and angles. p.s.- If you are willing, just throw whatever you can at me. No need to send only Sketchup, Blender, or Sculptress-compatible files. I will figure out how to view them based on file type. thx

    Yeah, just Macross stuff.

    Hey MW team- I've got a request for all of you 3D modellers out there: I was curious if I could partake of your 3D models to use as references? I will not fiddle with them, claim them as my own, or do anything with them except to pose them as source material for my hand-drawn artwork. To be honest I (still) know nothing about 3D modelling. I current have Google Sketchup, Sculptris, and Blender to view 3D models. So I guess I would need versions that work with those programs? Hahaha! Please let me know if you would be interested in sharing your models with me. No textures or anything, just the basic model itself. Thanks! twdc

    A world based on slightly anthropomorphized vehicles, and THAT is where your disbelief kicks in?

    It seems that the infamous 100% Pure Macross logo does not meet the standards set my back to be put on a personalized debit card. Don't know why... I'm thinking of trying the Hatchling Valk image next.

    Some computer shop in Lyon, France. Not in the weirdest place, but adorable nonetheless (right guys?!? RIGHT?!?).

    I thought it would've been better if Anakin fell to the dark side by the end of Ep II, and then Ep III is the war between the Jedi and the newly minted Empire, with the added excitement of Obi-wan trying to spirit away Padme (who doesn't die at childbirth), baby Luke and baby Leia. In it we would also see Anakin's jealousy made legit as Padme and Obi-Wan fall for each other. This would also help to bolster the dedication Obi-Wan shows towards guarding Luke on Tattooine. Just my thought.

    Those bodies are just the wrong shape for the Lovely Angels.

    Isn't there a 'Neither' option?

    The 2nd version of Cruise Chaser Blassty.

    Is this a pseudo-prequel to 80s film The Monster Squad?
  15. the white drew carey
    Good job, kanedaestes! I have to admit that, while I am still on the fence about the V.Ka., seeing your photos of the kit in action makes it look pretty good!
  16. the white drew carey
    BWONG!

    And my mistake, it isn't the Striker Eureka, but looks to be the Crimson Typhoon, albeit in mirror-image (the spec sheet shows the double arm on the left side, while the trailer shows it on the right side).

    Good point Taks, but in the case of ST (I could give a rat's ass about Doctor Who [sorry guys]), most 'technical specs', especially from the original series, are retcons. It wasn't until the popularity of TNG that these ships began being designed with more 'precise' technical specifications in mind. My guess is that goes the same for that Doctor Who book you posted. But in the case of Pacific Rim, they've come into the game showing their cards, and had a clear purpose in mind when they came up with it all which was "Wow, we think these details are awesome!" I'm sorry if my nitpick of a movie that hasn't been released yet is bothering you but, as I've stated repeatedly in this thread, I expect A LOT from GDT. The more and more I'm seeing of this movie, it looks like he let Hollywood hit him over the head with the "We know what looks and sounds cool!" stick. I mean, they can build giant mecha in this story, why not some advanced lifting vehicles for them, as well?
  19. the white drew carey
    But that is just my point: why make up and then publish all of these 'pseudo-specs' if you're going to be completely unrealistic anyway?
  20. the white drew carey
    Good point, but I think that YFs should count, too.

    Aside from the classic VF-1? 1. VF-9. Of course it looks sleek as heck in fighter mode, but especially its GERWALK. I, unlike most others, like the battroid, too. 2. SDP-1. Because I like the idea of a heavy hitter version of a VF-1, and I like the direction SK was going in with it. 3. VF-171. This one surprised me because I don't care that much for the VF-17, but the VF-171 makes the it look like a rough draft. Least favorite: any VF with a g&dd@mn face, and/or the series of sucked-in gut/out-thrust pelvis of VFs from Frontier (VF-25, VF-27, VF-29).

    Forgot about that one. But did you notice how the 'rat-tat-tat' of the machine guns appears to either be gone, or turned down really low, in the new trailer? Hey, they (the Pacific Rim people) are making up the rules of the game as they go along. I am just playing by them. They didn't have to release spec sheets with a whole bunch of 'cool' sounding stuff on them but, by Jove, I will use those spec sheets to call them out on the super-copters!

    Just saw something that I find curious, and bothers me a bit: When they are dropping the Jaegers into the water, they show at least 8 (probably 9 due to their formation) CH-47 Chinook-looking helicopters dropping the Striker Eureka. Now, the Striker Eureka is 6,650 tons (13.3 million pounds/6m+ kg), meaning each helicopter is carrying, at least, almost 740 tons. The lifting capacity of the modern CH-47 is about 20 tons. Even the C-5 Galaxy, the USA's largest cargo plane, generally carries only 135 tons. So I guess the take away from this is that, in the near future, not only do we have giant mecha (awesome!) but super-duper amazingly powerful helicopters, too (awesomer?)!

    The wife and I just watched it, and liked it but WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA... (deep breath) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too much lens flare. I mean, even in the showers? The showers?!? Or- it's the middle of the night and we're in an abandoned ski lodge... dial up the lens flare!!!
  25. the white drew carey
    I don't see how people hate like the GERWALK or battroid modes of the VF-9 so much The GERWALK looks totally menacing, like a bird of prey. I think it is neat how the whole nose props up like that. As for the battroid? It may not be the best, but it is totally better than the skinny, sucked-in gut/out-thrust crotch look of everything from Frontier.
