Yes, and I nearly gouged my eyes and ears out, TYVM. I mean, saying "it's twice as good as Picard" is like saying "this turd in the toilet bowl is solid, as opposed to the rest of the liquid diarrhea!"

No... Below Decks is a complete and utter dumpster fire. I figured a factory located on a moon in the outer solar system, with a bunch of synthehol-swilling academy washouts.

A sledgehammer may prove useful...

Maybe what we need is a Trek series all about the guys who make the photon torpedoes...
-
Exactly; which only reinforces the already iron-clad evidence that CBS wanted an un-Star Trek Star Trek. Star Trek is not "woke" like the current crop out there feel it should be, and trying to make it such is like trying to turn a Ferarri into...er...something else. In all seriousness though, if people want bleak and dreary sci-fi, they have other venues to turn to and it's already been done to death. They should have left Picard where he was, and not tried to drag characters from the endings they originally had for them. Now i can see clearly what you meant in the other topic about bringing back Original Macross characters: too much risk of turning them into sad parodies of themselves.

Ah...why did I think it was "to bodly go" (probably thinking of the opening to TOS ST)? And I agree: SNW seems to have the best chance out of all of them. Ironic, since the one that has the most promise is one that the fans asked for instead of CBS trying to "create" one!

Roy is such a bad-ass that he got killed and is still dating Claudia!
-
I had that kit a long time ago; I remember using plastic card and plastic welder to fill gaps on it (it was that bad!). I would love to try it again and use sprue to make my own pilots!
-
Is CBS still going to do the "To Boldly Go" series, or did they back out of that? I've been out of the loop a bit with IRL stuff as of late...
-
And make sure to order 2 kilos instead of just one... Oh wait: wrong Heisenberg. O.o

This may be of assistance to you peter: Agatha Chamberlain did diagrams noting the color differences between the Refit and the A versions: https://culttvman.com/main/agatha-chamberlains-refit-enterprise-diagrams/

Super Macross Mecha Fun Time Discussion Thread!

Okay, thanks for the clarification! -
Super Macross Mecha Fun Time Discussion Thread!
pengbuzz replied to Valkyrie Driver's topic in Movies and TV Series
Just out of curiosity: would Roy have been considered equal or slightly lesser rank to Misa Hayase? In RT, they were both Commanders (I think); in SDFM Roy was Major iirc, and Misa I think she was a Lieutenant, but she was also ship's Xo (unless I'm mistaken). On a less serious note...speaking of Roy and Hikaru: -
As far as I'm concerned, that ship is a flying explodium exhibit looking for a place to happen.
-
Imperial-sized shipwash? Thanks!
-
Thanks!! I got the addition painted up, and it's now paired with the "open engine" leg I built: I really wanted the sense of people actually working on the Valkyrie, so I wanted open parts, open cockpits, you name it. I might decide to open the cockpit on the Destroid when I can get a moment (have my first exam tomorrow at 1:15 PM, so pray for me folks!), so we'll see how that goes! But of course, I also want to be able to display Hikaru's Vf-1J as a whole valk, so here's the original leg (I keep in in the "valk can" with the other optional parts):

*pengbuzz falls over from sheer overload* "peng... macross...overload... must...build...MORE...."

Meanwhile, working on yet another project (for the diorama): (no, it's not a one-man death laser! lol ) It's a seat/ post combo for my 1/72 Imai valks, so the head can be displayed "flipped forward", with the seat up (per Macross). Here's a pic of the valkyrie in battroid mode with this snapped into place: It simply plugs onto the post the head would normally use, and then you just plug the head into place at the end. I'll be painting this up in a little while (had to repait the little "l-shaped" plastic tab on the 1S' nose that hooks the back to the front, so that takes priority.
-
Lol, yeah, right? Anyways, since we're on that topic: progress pics from start to (now) finished: Had to refine the paint job a bit towards the end, but hopefully, my friend who commissioned this likes it.

What can we expect from a new Macross Series?
pengbuzz replied to akt_m's topic in Movies and TV Series
I wonder about a prequel where the original Protoculture society's wars are examined? Maybe a "hour before doomsday" scenario? Or one where the pre-SDF-1 is launched on it's last flight? Maybe even a sequel series where a portion of the Protoculture society survived and is not thrilled about humanity? -
Meantime: A friend gave me this and asked me to make it "screen accurate": Give me a week, and...
-
"POS"??!! Dude, if mine came out looking half as good as that, I'd be thrilled beyond belief!!! With all due respect: I don't ever want to hear you insult yourself or your work, peter (and I mean that in the nicest possible way! ). You're build looks remarkable, and I think you have something to be proud of here! Kudos on a job well done!
-
At least in Macross, the only difference in the Valkyries were the head, and that's kinda hard to keep track of in a fight.
-
Well, I thought I was done with my Macross Factory..until a good friend sent me some material support in the form of 1/72 scale figures. the issue I ran into though was that the previous figures I had already installed were smaller than 1/72 (about 1/100).... So...that required some work on the vehicles to get them to the proper scale. (enlarging cabin on boom truck, making tow tractor a bit thicker, etc.) Then I got more bright ideas (yes, the fun never ends...) Anyways, some pics for right now; my camera battery is low, so I have to recharge it. I'll have more later this evening folks. meantime, enjoy the couple I managed to get: (crappy as they are):
