Macross Δ (Delta) - announcement thread
Mazinger replied to renegadeleader1's topic in Movies and TV Series
Tochiro has to Save Christmas?! Is Kamujin threatening the North Pole? Couldn't resist. -
Impressive. If you do get it to stand up you'll have done something that even Arcadia and Bandai have been challenged by.
-
Maybe, in a bit. It's still a work-in-progress. I'm still making tweaks to it. I don't have much experience using LEGO Digital Designer. Not sure if that's what you meant, but for now I'm might just put a picture collage together.

Since LEGO is being discussed here, I'll share my MOCs. Not all Macross related: https://www.flickr.com/photos/18239022@N00/albums/72157661148484461 Not nearly as epic as the aforementioned MOCs, but I'm still proud of 'em. Regarding instructions. If someone hit me up for some, I might be tempted to produce 'em once I was happy enough with the end result. But I'm not an LDD user, so I'd probably just compile a parts list and take some step-by-step pics. Though I work in tech, I never had the patience for LDD. I'm fortunate enough to have a wide-enough variety of parts that it's easy for me to try things out physically. Man, I really wish that Daikoncat had (re)published instructions for his VFs or at least a parts list. @M'Kyuun, Seeing your VF-4, and with the ongoing VF-4 hype, I'm starting to think about taking a stab at it. At the very least, the fighter mode, which is my favorite.

It's as if they have a scheduled release of stock and just don't want to put it all out at once. Or are they really ordering a batch of ten or so here whenever they can?

N'ombre. Mira nomas. Eso se demuestra paciencia.

I was building a Nausicaa Gunship out of LEGO. Did some googling and stumbled upon this. Holy ish, this made my day! Apologies, if this is a dupe. Haven't been on the forums long.

More than a few eBay listings average around $120 US shipping included, which beats these.

What Current Anime Are You Watching Version v4.0
Mazinger replied to wolfx's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
The most recent non-Macross/non-80's mecha show that I watched was "Attack on Titan". It had a little bit of the "why can't Shinji Ikari stop freaking out and attack" feel at the beginning, but then things get going at a nice clip. It really is a trip. I can't help but think that this is the anime/mecha genre answer to the zombie phenomenon over here in the US. Anyways I liked it, want more, want to see where the story goes. -
And now it's gone...
-
Huh, not sure why I didn't think of that. I have a bunch of the new Mixel style small tow ball joints and gave it a try with those, but it threw off the appearance. Thanks for the tip.

Macross Δ (Delta) - announcement thread
Mazinger replied to renegadeleader1's topic in Movies and TV Series
Hey, the first part of that sounds cool to me. -
I also took a second pass at my Tomahawk destroid that I slapped together a couple of weeks ago. Took spanner76's suggestion and added more articulation than the first version. Still doesn't have hip joints, but it's lot closer to the actual look. Waiting on some bricklink parts to get the coloring more accurate. https://www.flickr.com/photos/18239022@N00/22864261165/in/dateposted-public/ ...versus version 1: The challenge with LEGO modeling is always the tradeoff between trying to get the look right at the scale you want and what parts you have at your disposal. The smaller the scale the harder it is to be true to the original. The larger the scale the sooner you start running out of parts. The beauty of LEGO is that given a large enough scale, there is nothing preventing a really accurate copy of just about anything.
-
Very nice. They have a pixel art quality to them, as if they jumped out of an 8-bit game that never got made.

I was thinking about the Spartas (RT: Dana Sterling's Hovertank) recently. It's the one Matchbox Robotech toy that eludes me mostly because I'm too cheap to cough up the $100+ for the ones that languish on eBay. But I have a ton of LEGO thanks to my wife who years ago robbed some teens blind at a garage sale. I decided to give this a try knowing that it's transformation is really one of the easier ones out there for transforming mech. This is my version 1, took me roughly 8 hours of dedicated work. It helps that I've had practice trying to build LEGO mechs with the standard system, bionicle, and the newer hero factory lines. https://www.flickr.com/photos/18239022@N00/22445795997/in/dateposted-public/ I posed it next to a Matchbox Bioroid for reference. Sadly the Matchbox Southern Cross toys are way out of scale with each other. My transformation is not completely accurate. The curvy part, or hood of the tank, should actually hang down like a skirt from the waist in battroid mode. I might try to fix it, but really I'm more eager to the bottom of the legs in white, so I'll probably be placing a Bricklink order soon.

Bwahaha! Keep it irie mon!

Indeed your VF-4 is awesome. This is the third LEGO mech I've seen in the forums, makes me wonder if that shouldn't be its own thread. I'm always looking to steal techniques, especially for joints.
-
Thanks, the wisdom of the crowd is always a good place to start. This is one of those n00b questions that has been gnawing at me.
-
Is there a back story as to why the Vajra toy didn't happen? Even before I joined this forum, I'd google for enemy mecha and come up with this image. I'd get excited, check back weeks later and nothing, which leaves me wondering, what happened to it. Also, why weren't there ever any Proto Devlin fighters made and sold? Maybe it's cultural, in the US, almost every toyline has some amount of symmetry when it comes to selling heroes and villains. Transformers has certainly followed this pattern as well.
-
Especially the ENEMY MECHA!!!! Are you listening Bandai?!?!?!?!
-
You, sir, make a compelling argument. I've been on the fence regarding this line because they do seem small, and slightly "plasticky" versus their 60/55 sized cousins. But I do like the idea of playing with my toys.

NUEVA SERIE DE MACROSS ANUNCIADA!
Mazinger replied to Gerli's topic in Animación, Música y Multimedia
Wow, tan rapido! Esta va ser mi primera vez viendo una serie en tiempo actual. No esperaba que los subs iban a estar disponibles tan pronto. Ándale pues. -
That drak sure is purdy. I do hope, however, that the batteriod mode feels more solid than my old Yamato YF-21's. Of all my valks, it's the one that doesn't just snap into place and stay that way. I could be doing it wrong, but none of my other valks have that loose feel in the torso.
-
I knew there was a reason why I was drawn to the Gazette. I no longer have the original, but the recent TF Generations 30th scratched my itch enough. May not be true to the original design, but certainly has a boat load more articulation. And it's one of the few mechs I don't mind letting my pre-schooler mess with.

Macross Δ (Delta) - announcement thread
Mazinger replied to renegadeleader1's topic in Movies and TV Series
Bridge bunny, I think I saw your icon's mech in the first Frontier movie after a clash onboard the Frontier with a Vajra. Does it have a name? Wouldn't be a destroid, right?
