I for one would like to see a better image of the planes from the top. I didn't see a good one on the site link, but if anyone comes across one I would like to see it to get a clearer idea of what it looks like in profile.

Some images from the site.

But if u look in the Design Works book, you can see the gun folds, and collapses on itself while it is stored in the leg, and unfolds when it ejects. I think or would like to hope and wish that it can be done.

Picture to show how it collapses.

Yeah, watch it drop further once it hits theatres next week. I'll still watch it, though - even after I spent my allocated movie money on The Pursuit of Happyness.

The reviews are getting better. It is now certified fresh on rottentomatoes.com with a 77% rating.

Here's 9 pics I just took of the Yamato 1/60 YF-19 with the Bandai 1/65 scale reissue VF-19 Fire Valk & reissue VF-17S Stealth Valk.

Sorry, the lighting is not that good as the pics were taken indoors at night.

I really wish Yamato would give us a decent VF-17D/S.

These pics really show how good the Bandai Macross 7 series valks could have been with just a few more tweaks to the toy. The Bandai VF-19 doesn't look half bad in battroid mode compared to the Yamato, the fighter mode is terrible and shouldn't be placed so close to the Yamato for fear that its ugliness might rub off.

Nice work. I like the VA that you have for Minmay, she really fits the role well. I can't wait to see this complete.

The reviews so far have been fairly positive.

I've GM'ed 2 Macross RPG's. The first one took place around 2020, and included VF-1, VF-4, and VF-5000. It was based around a Megaroad colony ship looking for a world to settle. The characters ran into an enemy during this journey and had to use diplomacy, fighting and a little bit of singing to get through it. There was a love triangle too. It ran for about a year of about once a week meetings.

The second RPG is on hiatus, and takes place around 2045 on a colony planet. The characters had been dealing with a pirate group who were well armed. That has come to a conclusion and I don't want to say to much about the rest of my plans, as a member here is part of the game. The characters started out in VF-1X's, then to VF-4's, then went into a special ops squad flying VF-11's.

I use the d20 system. Pulling ideas from d20 Star Wars, d20 mecha, and d20 modern. I then came up with some of my own rules to fix some of the problems we ran into during combat.

I do have some ideas to start a Macross Zero based game after this one is over.

The ghost from episode 3 I believe.

I wonder how this will effect Harmony Gold.

I remember seeing a cutaway of the UMM-7 somewhere and it had either one or two more reloads for it, and there are a couple of pics of the YF-21 half-way apart with missiles being loaded into it's launchers, I'll see if I can find the UMM-7 pics and I know that the YF-21 pic is in one of my MPLUS books but they are at home, I'll track it down and let you know.

UMM-7 cutaway.

Nice, you may not like the YF-19 very much but I like it a lot. Great to see this thing with the gunpod. I look forward to seeing color pics in the future and of different modes

Isn't that the standard gunpod for all VF-5000???

Hard to say if it is or isn't. I have never seen lineart of the 5000B with a gunpod.

Found a pic, but its small.

Love the work on the 5000, but I wonder how it would look with the 5000G gunpod.

There is lineart out there for the B-19A pallets, if I remember correctly they hold 4 missiles in each pallet (leg). If someone has it, I would greatly appreciate seeing this lineart again, as I have seemed to lost the pic from my harddrive.

This one?

Yup, that's the image I was talking about. Though, I think Nanashi would have a cow that his logo was removed. Credit where credit is due, the original image was small and purple & white, Nanashi did scan it at a higher res and recolor it in the traditional b&w color scheme.

Aside from that lineart, the flyer is nothing to write home about. I'll post it here and at the MacrossNexus along with the Scrambled Valkyrie story once it's done being translated.

I put Nanashi's logo back in. I will remove the image in a few days.

That worked better. Did a little bit of clean up to the image.

If you saved the page, the image is sitting unprotected in a directory with the name of the HTML file.

He employed a few "cute" tricks with his pages that provided minimal deterrent and signifigant annoyance.

Heck, worse comes to worst, you can just print-screen the page and paste it into Paint or something.

There's really no effective way to stop someone from "stealing" images off your site. If they can be viewed, they can be "stolen."

I had it saved as an .mht file. So I had to re-save it as an .html. The image showed up as a .tmp file which i then opened with paint and re-saved it as a .jpg. It lost a little resolution though.

I'll see if I can clean it up a little. But here it is.

Edit: Cleaned up a little.

I have it, but I can not pull the image from the page that I saved. Nanashi had a thing about saving images from his site.

Just curious where everyone is getting Volume 5 at. Best Buy has had V5 online for ordering for two weeks now, but for what ever reason not a single copy is going out to the retail stores.

The Best Buy near me is no longer carrying Macross. They only got one of Vol. 4 and a friend of mine picked it up. I called to see if they were getting more in and was told it was discontinued. I went there to see if Vol. 5 was in and nothing on the shelf, so I ordered it someplace else. Looks like Best Buy is only selling it online.

Thankyou so much for letting me back through the gate. PM sent, I think he may have PM'd you at Nexus as well.

I've been hearing November.
