Looks pretty cool. Not sure how it would taste though.

Here is the building of the Macross cake:

I wonder how long before someone builds/bakes a Max and Milla wedding cake to go with the Virgin Road Valkyrie release.

What time on Aug 22nd?

I'm in as well

Kinda looks like bland generic CG compared to this:

I think this comes from a Yamato pachinko game.

Thanks KiriK!

Speaking of registration. Were we supposed to get a confirmation email back? I sent MWcon09@gmail.com an email a couple of weeks ago.

Is this what you are looking for?

Lance, how you don't come to our weekly games? (that seems to be bi-monthly now)

I'd love to go. I hope they are on Saturdays as I work 4p-1a weekdays.

Well, with 2nd place last year.. I think it is time to move up a notch. I've already had my Vegas practice session in at the beginning of this month.

Will there be a poker game this year?

I'm a local this time!

Top 10 anime dvd sales of last week. No Frontier.

Does that include BluRay and DVD sales?

Easy! Here we go

Wake me up when the plot starts moving again.

Curiosity... what did you use to get the scan texture? Some kind of manual filter?

Yes, it was a filter. Unfortunately I don't remember which one. I remember tweaking the options a bit to get it to look like that.

And again.. with a texture similar to the scan.

YF-19, YF-21 and Sharon Eye Wallpaper Alt Mode! In technicolor

Here is a nice pic of the VF-27 cockpit. Is that the left shoulder of an Ex-Gear to the right of the pic?

New one.. I was thinking of doing a wide screen version with the ghost to the left. But I can't find a top down pic of it and the side view looks weird there.

Eye captured from the remastered DVDs.

Anyone have an orthographic top down pic of the X-9 ghost from Macross Plus? I seem to remember seeing it somewhere.. Maybe someone's 3d model?

I demand this be put in 1/100 sticker format for my immediate purchase and applying to my Konig Monster...

Well, I have the vector if you can find someone who wants to make it into a sticker for you.

Progress so far. Missing some of the details at the moment such as the UN Spacy kites on the wings.

Here's the alpha omega picture again from Tenjin Hidetaka's Macross art book.

Maybe somebody can fix this picture up. I'm not willing to cut up my book for scans, so I took a digital camera picture and then pasted out my thumb.

Here is another version of the same pic. I'm not sure what book it came from, perhaps the Japanese Macross Plus LDs/DVDs.

I'm thinking it may be best to recreate the image rather than clean up either of these two pictures. I have a vector YF-19 ready so all I need to do is the YF-21 and Sharon's "eye."

I really miss the old days of THIS IS ANIMATION, BEST HIT SERIES and ROMAN ALBUM...

Yeah.. the This is Animation series were great. I sure hope Frontier gets something like it.

Not on ebay.. but once I nabbed a 1/3000 Takatoku SDF-1 in box with complete accessories for $60 at World's Best Comics in Sacramento. The SDF-1 itself is mint but the box it shipped in was worn badly. I see the same wear on other Takatoku toys so I think they just didn't use good cardboard/ink.

(edit: forgot my story!)

Well, if that is minimum to get just fabric printed were looking $8500+ in fabric costs alone which is a tremendous investment.

Lets say we get 1700 shirts made, it would break down like this:

~$5 in fabric per shirt + buttons + thread + backing + tailor fees. Some how I think these expenses would push the initial investment to over double the cost of the fabrics alone. While I think we'd be able to sell 1700 Macross themed shirts, it would be a large initial investment. Maybe the folks that do the Macross World Con shirts could poke their head in here and give us some ideas.

Personally, I think silk screening a pre-made shirt that has a hawaiian pattern is a better idea.

For the brainstorm department, here is another sample of a button up shirt:

Here is a question, what generation did is everyone interested in doing?

SDF Macross TV

DYRL?

Zero (cough.. no)

7 (somehow I don't for see this being universally accepted)

Plus

Frontier

My vote is for SDF Macross TV. My favorite as well as getting some potential crossover interest from the Robotech fans.

Has anyone scribbled some designs on a paper napkin or something yet?

I bet a Macross styled Bowling Shirt would look nice as well.

Skull Squadron Bowling Team! lol
