    You're not missing much on the "sequels"; thank heaven you never saw the cartoon!!

    Thanks! When I was a kid, my dad worked for a filter manufacturing company/factory that ordered a lot of 3M Masking Tape. We lived in the projects and could barely get by (factory was the best job my dad could get, as he dropped out of middle school to help his family by working), so most toys and stuff I ended up not getting . If I wanted something, I had to make it myself out of cardboard and masking tape. Over the years, I'd like to think I got good at it. In any event, my dad passed some years ago (WWII vet, died August 28, 2011); I continue to use masking tape to honor his memory and the sacrifices he made to keep us fed, clothed and a roof over our heads.

    No, they're saving him for Duncan. And for Ramirez, they'll probably cast: Frankly, they need to cancel this while they're ahead...

    It's accurate for the vehicles: Octane may have a plane mode as a triple changer, but the truck mode is not going to be longer than a shuttle.

    Still working on this; paint job needs refinement and whatnot. Decals are "whatever I think looks legit" and would make sense (for what that's worth): Used some "artistic license" in a few places: Stay tuned.

    That's why I said to carefully wipe it down; 91% alcohol is especially notorious for that. Thanks for mentioning it specifically though, PsYcHoDyNaMiX; I might not have been clear enough.

    Okay; that said, were there interest, I bet it could fund a small government.

    Yeah; either some of the vehicles need to at least change position, or they need to choose vehicles that scale nearly the same. Example: either Blast-off should have been the body on Bruticus, or they should have more likely chosen an actual combat craft for his alt mode (not perfect, but more believable than a honkin' space shuttle!). Swindle should have been a Bradley fighting vehicle, which would have put him on a similar scale with Brawl.

    Maybe they can lampshade this in a later episode with Una growling "Don't remind me about that one!!"

    I think the following sums it up, personally:

    I wouldn't want to even guess what the interest on that would be...
  13. pengbuzz
    Agreed; I also don't like how the arms mount to the body there either. And the legs are just plain fugly...

    Actually, it was scratch built from masking tape and cardboard (and a few scrap model parts): This was it in progress circa September 30, 2021; this is how it began: The original posts begin here- https://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/35120-whats-lying-on-your-workbench-mk-iv/page/317/#findComment-1596128

    Model cement won't work on that kind of plastic; it looks to me like too much pressure was applied to it during assembly and it let go. I recommend Permatex Plastic Welder (order via NAPA or Amazon); I've had excellent luck with that. It's a 2 part epoxy like adhesive with tremendous hold and strength: https://www.amazon.com/Permatex-84145-Permapoxy-Black-Plastic/dp/B00THUUVSU
