    Isamu?

    Lemonade bioroid?

    Well, if it saves them work and solves an issue, more power to them.

    At the rate they're going, more like a block of salt and a belt sander... Agreed: I still find it weird that their depiction of the VF-1's Battroid mode shows the entire nose landing gear having to drop outside the nose just so the pilot's seat can rotate into upright position. I have all sorts of issues with that one...

    Well, I would take Master File with a grain of salt, given what Seto Kaiba has told us of the info they include.

    Ah, gotcha. My mistake, I stand corrected. (or sit corrected at my pc browsing MacrossWorld, as the case may be).

    Yeah, I thought Max would be able to handle it, but I just wanted an unbiased opinion. Thanks. And yeah: Isamu is a nutjob! lol

    Okay...you hit a bird and fall off. How's that?
  9. pengbuzz
    Yeah, but the thing is: if your motorcycle stalls, you can just pull over to the side of the road. If this thing stalls, it's not like you can just pull over to the nearest cloud! O.o

    I prefer to rebuild the joints on any kit using ABS and Permatex Plastic Welder; that way,Ii don't have to worry about them breaking later on. Often, i can graft new pegs or blocks right into the existing structure and reinforce/repair it all in one!

    I also like the Macross Cannons from that one. Absolutely dwarfs the other battle fortresses, and 4-6 of them would give a Zentraedi branch fleet much to think about!

    The thing is though: I'm talking about the YF-19, not the VF-19 or VF-21. The YF-19 had a control system and thrust/ engine suite that made it nearly impossible for most pilots to fly. As for the VF-22 Sturmvogel, it lacks the Brain Direct Interface system (BDS) and Brain Direct Image system (BDI) that the the YF-21 Omega One possessed. While I believe Max could have handled either, I'd be interested to see what folks think.

    On a side note: that makes me wonder how Max would have performed in the YF-19? I know that craft killed some pilots and crippled others, and given Max's skills, how that would have panned out?

    No problem!
  16. pengbuzz
    Yeah...as soon as they come down from being impossible to afford! Some are as expensive as my rent each month!

    it's all good bro; it's a survival skill I picked up when I realized how much it would cost me to try lighting mine. My process:
  18. pengbuzz
    Yeah, but I'd settle for the 1/3000 Matchbox TV version.
  19. pengbuzz
    There is that! And you're welcome, of course! Speaking of which:

    Thanks, but the wing joint completely shattered this morning: However, I have no intention of tossing it all in the garbage; my comment about "smashing it" was in relation top the fact that I do not want to simply glue the wings into place. My plan now is to completely rebuild the pivot, and then re-mount the S-foils to it. It will require drilling into the wing-engine mount and removing a slight bit of detail to fasten it securely in, but I'll use the opportunity to correct some inaccuracies on the inner engine detail that I missed prior. WARNING TO FELLOW MODELLERS: On the MPC/Ertl SW kits (1979 originals -2008 reissues), the plastic can be quite soft. If you have any kits that have major weight-bearing components made of this, do not use those kit parts. Instead, use them as a guide to build your own parts from heavier plastics (such as ABS, which I plan on using). Save yourselves some considerable grief.

    Thanks folks, but I'm not that blasted clever: I had a MAJOR setback tonight on the X-Wing: The area right next to the pivot for the wings is very flimsy; one thin layer of plastic attaching at two points is all that holds the wings to the pivot roundels. Even reinforcing with Plastic Welder leaves them too flexible for my tastes. And I had gone through great pains to try to ensure any sort of weaknesses would be addressed before I sealed the main body up. So instead, I had to cut along panel lines and break open the work I did sealing the main pin into the extra walls I had built. I truly hope that the wings firm up with addition of more plastic welder; at 10 bucks a tube, that's my modelling budget for the month right there! Redesigning/ rebuilding the pivot and wing attachments would be a howling nightmare, and "just gluing them into place"... ...I would just as soon smash the thing to bits with a hammer. Anyways, more to come...
