    UPDATE: Got more painting and refinements down. Batmobile looks a bit too "black", so I'll see how it looks with a thin pearl layer on top of the sequin black: Installed the mechanical detail ahead of the intakes: I also intensely disliked how crappy the front and back tires came out initially, so I ripped them off the car and reworked the daylights out of them: Hoping to refine them even more and get the bat symbol on the hubs. Stay tuned...

    I guess it was either that, or start fueling the mechs with marijuana...

    They would have to make a clone of the person when they were that age, and put that in storage. I'm not sure the micloning process works that way, and even if they could do so, I don't think they could just transplant the consciousness into that. So I agree with you: they can't just clone their way out of it.

    Thanks. Yeah... to that end, I'm pretty much done in this thread. It's like trying to argue why an ant armed with a grain of sand should be able to take on an entire Air Force fighter wing or something. Think I'll go do something better with my time, like rewatch Macross 7...

    Just wow... talk about deluded! I'm starting to wonder if we need Robotech-fan vaccines to protect us from them!

    Nice job! Really liking the fine detail in this. And I agree: not too much in the way of oil washes. Some color modulation maybe, but even there, not a whole lot. All it needs now is Gilligan and the Skipper! jk

    I'll stare at one online and decide if I'm going to sell a kidney at that point...

    I still hear banjos...
  10. pengbuzz
    okay, let me revise that then...just before we meet the Protoculture, we hear banjos playing...
  11. pengbuzz
    Why do I get the impression that when Macross finaly shows what the Protoculture looked like, it will simply be Dennis the Menace in a funky space outfit? O.O

    Why didn't they just program the nanomachines to eat the time machine? Problem solved!

    Very impressive story and background on this! I don't consider it "pretentious" to use the classics as a basis for an idea at all! I will be watching this to see how you further this concept.

    So more like "The Office" if it were sci-fi anime, right?

    Zentraedi vs Invid? Yeah...that's going to be Britai and Exedol in swim trunks on a beach somewhere, boiling crabs by the bucketful in a large pot while Quamzin is melting some butter and getting the beer cooler from the ship.

    In that case, I can imagine the following: "We've made several horrific mistakes, ones that will not only consume us, but those yet to come. To then try to tamper with time itself, in an attempt to resolve this dilemma, may leave the rest of the galaxy unable to ever end the Zentraedi/ Supervision Army War. Perhaps one day, the races we seeded might find a way to do so. To that end we will seal away what weapons we can and prevent any more destruction and misery from being wrought. As for ourselves: we do not know if we can ever be forgiven for bringing ceaseless war and unending death and destruction to this galaxy. For what have unleashed on the remaining life and civilizations to come, the least we can do is to rid them of our cursed presence. We deserve this fate... may no others ever follow our mistakes." Or am I reading too much nobility that I would like to see into their character?

    Hmm... you'd think that near their eventual end, they'd try to send someone back in time to try to fix that. (yeah, we've all seen how well that one works, Kyle Reese!)

    So the war between the Zentraedi forces and the Supervision Army is pretty much pointless by now. Both sides' have no commanders past those leading their fleets, with the Zentraedi's Protoculture leaders long since dead, and the Supervision Army's Protodevlin having since been sealed away, then after being released, found a way to create Spiritua on their own and abandoning their war. Two juggernauts locked in battle over a war long lost by both sides. One could almost imagine the horror that would result if an enemy found one of the command centers for the Protoculture and issued coordinates and new orders to all the Zentraedi fleets to attack Earth and her colonies...

    Not to mention that it was a Zentraedi (Guld Goa Bowman) who was both a designer and test pilot with the YF-21 project (presumably among other Zentraedi). Zentraedi aren't stupid by any means, and given the right tools and training, are very innovative and resourceful.

    Does that mean then that for all intents and purposes, Galaxy as a fleet is pretty much disowned by the New UN Gov't?? Or would they seek to rein them in and bring them back in line? I would venture that the defense grid is geared more towards repelling ships rather than fighter craft. Keep in mind that in Space War 1, the damage done to earth was from Zentraedi Warships firing on the planet: with the focus on that, it would be considerably easier for small one-man fighter craft to penetrate than the larger carrier/ assault ships.

    I was thinking was several could do to a planet? (Y'know...got weird hobbies here ) Okay, I found where I got my info from: Source: https://web.archive.org/web/20071010095624/http://www.steelfalcon.com/Macross/macross7.shtml I'm going to assume from what you told me that the info here is probably just something made up for the description here.

    Speaks to the intended power of a Battle-class; several of those could wreak major damage on an enemy. I've read where they have some of those serving without being attached to a colony fleet (part of battle groups and whatnot).
  23. pengbuzz
    With that description in mind, Seto: would it be possible to use a dimension eater weapon to absorb/ destroy another energy weapon beam ? Although I suspect such a weapon would be best used to destroy the ship/ fleet trying to fire it! From the sounds of it, those might have made a difference in Space War 1 if they had the tech back then!

    UPDATE: Got some paint work done; the first pic is normal light, while the second is flash photography: I used Sharpie marker colors dissolved into alcohol to vary the color on the Batmobile (the movie showed a slight iridescent/ color-shift to the car). Normal light in the first pic, flash photography in the second: I will be working to layer and blend this a bit more; I just have to let each layer dry or I risk dissolving the clearcoat and ruining the base coat. Cockpit: And of course, Batman: I still have detailing, color corrections and what not to do. I also need to get a transparent "black pearl" overcoat onto this to level the colord and bring it all together. Stay tuned...

    Of course, the one "warp" no one wants to talk about is the time warp from The Rocky Horror Picture Show. That one would deconstruct space-time as we know it and lead to the end of all things...
