    Watched the first episode of echo, I’m actually liking it somewhat so far. 4 more episodes though and a lot of bad reviews that I’m ignoring til I can finish the show, but it does rely heavily on flashbacks. But at least most of those are entertaining so far.

    Don’t get me wrong. I loved it when it was on. It wasn’t until years later that I actually saw the original series and it’s tough for me to go back. I think it’s probably a similar reaction to fans of Dragon Ball or Sailor Moon. I don’t think the majority of the fans would’ve existed if not for those adaptations. The thing I think is lame is Harmony Gold putting so many roadblocks for Macross and the rest of it’s sequels, side stories and products

    Honestly, with the mods that are mentioned it’s almost more Macross than Robotech since hg can’t touch those other series or games, but I do get confused on Macross 2. I don’t think they can release product, but can distribute the video. But I’m not an expert on these legalities

    They could have an awkward scene at the end where he looks more like Les Grossman giving maverick a talking to

    I’ve heard the classic version, but not the emo cover version. Personally I feel curmudgeonous, so I’ll take the old get off my lawn, back when I was your age version even though the newer one isn’t too bad

    That’s good to hear, hope they end up in a good show

    So a prequel about Maverick’s grandpa

    Some of those come with academy models. They set down similar to water slides, but the clear film peels off the painted layer. I hear you have to be extra careful with them, because they can tear during the peel. I’ve never used them, but heard stories about people with difficulty, but they tend to look painted on after application similar to how dry transfers look, but conform better to complex surfaces.It saves time blending the edges of the decals. With normal waterslide decals you need a gloss surface,set the decals and then you may need several clear coats and possible light sanding to get the decal edges to disappear. With these you set them on a gloss surface, peel the top film and then seal the decals with a single clear coat. just make sure to get some spares to experiment with first to get expedience to avoid accidents on the final project

    So, more ground to air combat and less dogfighting. They’re gonna cut that budget in half

    Those are some interesting color choices

    I probably had seen this years ago and long forgotten it. I still think it’s odd to put markings in a spot that would end up splitting like that though. I think that was the first kit where the ver KA had a weird gimmick. Before that it would either be designed to look like his version of the suit sort of like how the old mg Sazabi and others had a totally redesigned set of pictures in the instructions that looked very little like the actual kit. I remember before that things like the rx78 version ka that came out before had more of the katoki look, but no gimmick and the fix figuration line appeared more like his reworks of designs as well. I still don’t think the NU or Sazabi mg ver ka looked like his older redesigns and kinda ended just being more gimmick based.

    I remember the first time watching it and we had the weird reaction of”Look, it’s the guy from Fist of the Northstar!!!”. that show ended up getting so popular that I’m pretty sure it ends up the other way around when people accidentally find Fist of the Northstar

    As far as Andor and the glowsticks, there was a dude flying a ship with giant glowsticks that did an equivalent same of several Jedi. And I didn’t know there ever was a debate about the monk in Rogue One at all.

    Not sure if this code applies to preorders, but here’s the new one for USA gundam store. I think your code above will still save more money overall I just thought it was funny that they sent an email with a savings coupon right above the most expensive preorder item that popped up recently to try and lure in more buyers with cold feet over the cost

    I honestly never really liked it especially on the Sazabi. The Nu felt like it was trying to be like the Unicorn on the mg ver ka and the Nu really only had psychoframe on the cockpit orb. But it does seem to be something that was a mix of the customized and influenced a bit from Inicorn.
  17. Big s
    I was just wondering because I don’t remember that in the design. Was it added like the weird what if panels for the Sazabi?
  18. Big s
    If it’s a place that you trust, then I’m pretty sure that’s a great price. You should buy from them

    Why does it have a sliding gimmick?
  20. Big s
    Are they showing that they haven’t figured out how to make the markings line up properly?
  21. Big s
    Yeah, I don’t know why I keep watching these shows thinking they might be good. I guess it doesn’t seem so long ago when I would be excited for each new episode of the Mandalorian or the next Marvel project, but something changed and these shows and movies have really become major letdowns

    Hopefully Thrawn ends up a better character in the next season, he was such a letdown here. And I think it would be a good idea to make Ahsoka the main character in her own show
  23. Big s
    They don’t need a good story as much as good writing. Season 3had an ok story, but bad writing and most recent Star Wars like Ahsoka had bad stories and bad writing. They have great actors and the visuals are usually ok for the most part, but if you keep writing Mando as the guy whose always captured and treated like trash and needing a constant rescue, then it’s gonna be another Boba show.

    Whatever was in the picture looked like a great upgrade to a pop tart and coolaid.

    Black is oddly the best paint for coverage as a base coat or primer. But getting shading or weathering can be tricky. If you shade using a pure black base and then mix the black with shades of dark grey, the problem is getting a grey that doesn’t look grey and doesn’t blend so well that you can’t see the tone. with weathering it’s easy to lose the work since it can just accidentally get too dark. I remember using some of the tamiya weathering compacts and after adding dull coat all the work darkened and it became invisible and had to redo things a lot lighter
