  1. Funny...i joined my kids, then started this, and proceeded to scare them right the heck off...lol.

    Pics soon. Took some, just gotta transfer to my computer and post. Video too perhaps. Wanted to make one with some music, but afraid of copyright issues. Probably just make a silent video. We'll see...

  2. Time? Yeah... at the rate I'm going it's gonna take 5-6 years to finish. I keep getting invested in other things. I imagine if I went fast and hard at it, I could finish in a year, taking into account work, chores, whatnot. Im afraid as cool as the idea seemed at first, I just don't have the drive I had when I started. Mostly, I guess I was hoping to find more people with a ps4 that were willing to help. To date, I've found only ONE. However, this person too is attempting the exact same thing. I'm quite a bit further along, but each of us want the other to help, without actually being willing to sacrifice the time to help, and instead wanting help...lol. 

    Yeah, I imagine one o these days I'll finish. Gonna be some time though. I'll try to post some pics before the new year to show some of the things I've done. It ain't much though... sadly. 

  3. Just give me a game like Macross Ultimate Frontier, with a higher atmospheric ceiling, PS3 graphics like from Macross 30 would be fine,  VR support for every mech/vehicle in the game, bring back the custom soundtrack option, and give us ONLINE PLAY! That would be my definitive Macross experience!

  4. Okay, well I really dropped the ball there... Soon? Not quite...lol. Anyways, many apologies, but the holidays seemed to get in the way, along with work, and life, and everything. Truth be told, I really hadn't messed with it much for awhile, but have started to get back into it as of late. In fact, these aren't even up-to-date, but they're close enough. The only major differences are that the road inside the leg has moved, I've made the cut-outs for the observation windows on the leg, along with a ladder system inside to help me determine how many levels I can have inside the leg. Pretty depressing really, as from the level of the observation window to the same level as the "highway," there will only be room for 9 stories. This thing is way too small! And still, it is way too big! lol

    Anyways, I'm working on some kind of video footage. I look at some of the random stills, and I can see where if you don't have a bit of imagination, they just appear as random blocks. I'm afraid that's what much of the city will look like to someone who has no idea what they're looking at. As in the interior of the ARMD-1. I'm using some lineart, and some pics from the movie, but still, just kinda placing it where I think it would be convenient. For instance, I'm trying to have a mechanical/engineering deck below, with missiles, armor, and other such ordinance. From there, you'll have elevators which will bring equipment to the main deck where all the Valkyries will be stored. One of these elevators will also go straight to the top by the command tower for, perhaps Armored Valkyrie launch or something. I dunno, its still a work-in-progress.

    Well, let me know what you think?

  5. So, I haven't given up yet...but I haven't exactly been hard at work either. I continued to plug away, until I realized there was a cap on the amount of picture frames you could set. This disheartened me, as I was going to rely on picture frames pretty heavily for headlights, taillights, decoration, and, well, pictures...lol.

    Anyway, I didn't touch it for awhile, and have resigned myself to the fact that I'll just have to make do. I've jumped back and forth from the ARMD-01, and laying out the amphitheater, and a freeway system. Also more mining, although sadly, it doesn't show much...

    Again, if you know anyone with a ps4, that might be interested in helping, please spread the word. I will continue to build on it, but at this rate, it might take several years.

    Anyways, I'll post some more pics soon

  6. Okay, as promised... here are some new pics.
    Haven't spent a whole lot of time working on the exterior. Instead, been farting around with some interior of the ARMD mostly, to get a feel for what it is going to be like when I actually start to fill this thing in. Made sort of a makeshift elevator to the runway. Even though DYRL never showed the runway being used, I thought it would be cool to have one.
    Other than that, began construction on the port-side leg. Trying to build the ARMD and the leg at the same time so one doesn't get overly big and throw off the scale of the other. Still, I wish it was easier to build a 1:1 scale. I can tell already that if I were to build the stadium that Minmay sings from in the beginning, it would span pretty much the full width of the leg, and then some. I'll have to shrink it down considerably to fit it in here. Not to mention that there is supposed to be a (freeway?) alongside that. AND, open space over towards where the large monitors are... Oh well. I'll cross that bridge when I get a little more of the leg completed.
    Comments are welcome!

  7. Okay. So I lied(unintentionally, mind you). I WAS going to start over, but have given up on that. I did actually start over, but spent more time switching back and forth between gamesaves than actually doing anything...lol. Anyways, I'm happy to announce that Mojang has finally added the ability to soak up water with a sponge, and that's speeding up excavation immensely! However, for some reason, its now harder to get rid of lava...argh. Oh well. So, I've began construction of the port side engine/leg. I'll post some pics soon! I'm anxious to get back to building now that the holidays are gone. Maybe this year, I'll get something accomplished.

  8. Okay, for those of you that have checked this thread, I intend to submit only a few more pics here soon. I regret that I've finally made up my mind to start over. I'm afraid it's just too much work to excavate making room to build this thing.

    I estimate that I'm around 20% done with the outer hull, but I still have so much more land to get rid of, that it's discouraging me. I get on, blow stuff up for a couple hours, and then I don't feel like building. And it's not as if that near-two hour session made much of a difference anyway. At least if I start from scratch, with an empty palette, everything I build will feel like progress.

    If you're interested in following this, I'm going to name the thread something similar to this title. After I get enough built to submit some pictures, I'll get it started.

  9. If I remember correctly, they will disappear just before they enter into the story... (This is NOT your first play through, right?). Meaning, if you haven't acquired Hikaru in the story yet, on your 2nd,3rd, 4th, etc. play through he will disappear shortly before he enters the story... I remember that happening a few times. Next time you start a game, try using Alto. He will disappear first, as I think he's the first one you encounter. Hope this helps!

  10. Its been awhile, but as promised, here are some new pics... I apologize that some of them may look like repeats, but they were taken at different times, and usually have new additions to them.

    I haven't been building on the ship itself much, but instead been excavating, and adding details to the ship. Although very small, the detail really makes it look better than just a big, flat surface. I've also been adding a few Valkyries to my "fleet," which will eventually encompass the main ship itself.

  11. I've searched and searched, and there doesn't seem to be any way to transfer a Minecraft file from PS4 to PC...dangit. :( Oh well. As far as I've come, I'm not starting over... And so long as the will remains, I shall continue...lol

    Just a few more pics of the main gun booms, with some added details. They aren't complete, but this makes them far less plain and boring

    I'll post some more up here in a while...

  12. Don't I wish? A PS Vita, or PS3 version can be exported to a PS4, but not vice-versa. Can't export to PC. I think the PC version is bigger anyway. Had I known, I would have started on my PC, but truth be told, I owned it on the PS4 first... I also started building it on the PS4, before I bought it for the PC. Oh well... After playing the PC version though, I think I like the PS4 version better. The draw distance isn't as great, but a controller and a couch beats a desk and a mouse any day IMHO.


    Here's a link to that video on Youtube I was telling you about.

  13. True dat! I been joking with my kids saying after the city inside is complete, we can play hide n seek...lol. Or, equip everybody with bow n arrows... Thanks BTW... I'll post more pics when I get back on it. Flying back east for a week. I almost considered buying a Vita so I could work on it from the hotel, but knowing my luck, i would lose connection, and the system back home would stay on the whole time I was gone...

  14. I've seen a few videos on YouTube. One, which was my main inspiration for this undertaking, was a mostly complete TV version of the Macross. It pans down the port side, then proceeds below-decks on the Prometheus. That's when I knew...deep down inside... I knew that the person I really wan---huh? Oops lost my train of thought lol.

    Nope, that video made me think how cool would it be to have a 1:1 Macross? So I began with the bridge. But I built too low to the ground. I was still new to Minecraft. I figured it would be like Little Big Planet and you could just grab an object and move it anywhere you wanted... no dice.

    So I started over. I'm actually quite pleased with the scale that I'm working on right now. The rate I'm going, I should be able to fit most, if not all of it in... Its just going to be slightly squattier and wider. I've built several 1:1 scale mechs too.

    So far I have Valkyries in fighter, gerwalk, and battroid forms. Roy's Strike Valkyrie in fighter. Hikarus Strike Valkyrie in battroid. One Tomahawk, one Defender, one Phalanx, one Spartan. And, one Monster. The Monster is even going to have an interior. And they aren't too bad for being made of blocks...lol. Helps if you keep a bit of a fair distance away from them though.

    Another issue I'm going to have is going to be the placement of the ARMDs. In order to have an interior, I'm going to place them in the horizontal position. It works on my 1:3000 scale, and its the best option since I'm using slabs for Valkyrie wings...Lot of work ahead though lol
