    It was more like "LISTEN TO MAH CRUNCH!!!" Makes me wonder if he turns on his shower using his guitar and screaming "LISTEN TO MAH SHOWAH!!!"

    UPDATE: finishing up work on the Valkren; should be ready for pics later tonight. I just need to let some clear coat dry and attend a couple of small details. Meantime, I started prepwork on my next project. A friend had sent me a couple of kits and some old parts from a few models that had seen better days. I actually managed to combine them into enough of a Battroid as the basis for my next project. Here's a pic: see if you can guess what I have in mind for it (a clue is located somewhere in the pic)-

    And Basara would have screamed at her "LISTEN TO MAH SONG!!!!!!"

    Give them the link to the videos!

    Hey, it's always a good time for 1/55 customs!

    O.O Er... if the Protoculture have a screaming old guy ghost, they could have used him to win the war! (Cute girl though whistling in the video!) Well hey... it could happen:

    were they russian by any chance? :P

    Actually, no I didn't. O.o Yeah, that one (still wonder what poor Isamu will do once old age makes him arthritis-ridden). That is a good point: the linear actuators do contribute a lot. Just don't fly anywhere near a degaussing machine :P Not to mention hiding their silverware and other valuables. O.o Seriously though, I hadn't considered what you just mentioned, and it bears serious thought indeed! Us: "We found your song and translated it--" Them:"NEVER MIND THAT!!! What do you people THINK you're doing?! Seriously! You released the Protodevlin?! Do you know how much Spiritia it took to seal them off??!! Not to mention what you did to the Varuta?!! And that Zentraedi Main Fleet...hoo-boy did you ever saw off the branch from underneath yourselves!!! Y'all realize there's about 6,000 more of those fleets where they came from, right?!" Us: "Er...we had no way of knowing--" Them:" Tell THAT to the fleets when they arrive and turn your entire...whatits.."NUNS"?... into Plomeek Soup!!! And that's just for starters!! All of you...get yourselves into THAT briefing room NOW while we explain a few hundred details to you!!" *Protoculture folks grab nearest humans and drag them by their collars to briefing room for what promises to be a LOOONNNG lecture* A perfect landing is where you actually manage to get a valk in gerwalk mode through the drive-thru window of McDonalds without taking the awning off the building, knocking down their sign or crushing any other cars in the line.

    Yeah, I fed it a few hundred value meals and it went from supermodel to linebacker! :D

    Thanks; meantime, really liking what you have here on the Runabout! Some top-notch work on fleshing out the interiror!

    Except for Homer Simpson. Yeah; it makes me wonder if Isamu eventually had that installed into his craft, of if part of the thrill for him was testing himself against the g-forces (although I suspect as he gets older, that will become an issue for him). and: While these are good points, I also know that when it comes to moving parts, any joint is going to be a weak spot due to its' nature. When you're talking about parts that have to bear considerable amounts of weight, deal with other stresses such as torque, shear stress, deformation and several other issues being put through the added stress of flight maneuvers, missile, beam and projectile strikes as well as "blunt force trauma" of combat, that's a lot for materials to withstand. I can recall the Hind D helicopter having a "strike reinforced hub" for it's main rotor assembly, so that the main blades didn't get shot off in combat. It just makes me wonder exactly how strong the materials are and what their inherent limits are? Ah... that's an excellent point. While we're on the topic: I wonder what Protoculture would make of humanity and our progress at that point? It would be interesting to see a NUNS Fleet encounter the last survivors of Protoculture and actually interact with them (possibly this was the fate of Megaroad 1?) Y'know...I don't really think most ships plan a crash landing most of the time.

    It would certainly give a whole new meaning to the term "fold", now wouldn't it?
  13. pengbuzz
    Gotta love them furballs! lol UPDATE: in a really miserable mood right about now. Main transform joint for the cockpit snapped clean in half, and the legs were looking a bit spindly. Took my frustrations out on the fighter in the form of tearing it all the way back down to components and rebuilding the cockpit joint and the legs. I only have a couple of pics right about now, but I hope to have more later: Added note: the fighter looks far more purple-red in the photographs than it does IRL. All the red seems to just pop out, while normally, it all looks about purple/red/black when viewed normally, with only a shade or two difference between the colors.

    Much appreciated! Thanks!
  15. pengbuzz
    If you can't, I can see if I can save it for you bro.

    I'll take "May he Rest in Peace" for $2000, Old_Nash.

    I still laugh about the "chunky salsa" comment I read somewhere a while back. Seriously though, something like this would be useful for the YF-19 (and Dyson's aging bones). I've noted that as well: their transforms use some really strange concepts that I would have to venture require a considerable amount of maintenance, as well as place certain parts under some phenomenal stresses as well. I can imagine even being robustly built, some of those parts are going to have "mean times to failure" that are considerably shorter than standard transforms. Also: would it be fair to say that some of those transformation schemes could conceivably leave exposed weak points. I know the way the arms transform on the Drakken have them on one "spar" that rotates (if memory serves) and that puts a lot on one part. That piques an idea I had in the back of my mind: what would craft developed by a joint venture with surviving Protoculture designers/ New Unity Govt look like? Ah, thanks for the heads- up on that (pun intended! ). And yeah: the 17 seems to use a faceted panel design; I don't recall f the 17 had the wraparound holographic viewpanels in-cockpit, but I imagine it would be sorely needed for such lack of visibility.

    Essentially a "cyber canopy" that has no direct transparent feature, right? That would eliminate a considerable weak point, although taking the sensors out would effectively blind the pilot, so some redundancy would be needed for the sensor as well as an option to jettison the cover and rely on at least a small canopy transparency (i.e. the "dome" on the YF-21's cockpit).

    Actually...no I didn't. Do you have a link to any news?
  20. pengbuzz
    Now, there's an idea for a series: The Last Starfighter.

    Welcome to Macross World! Your work is absolutely stunning!!!
  22. pengbuzz
    Thanks for the info, but pc cannot handle the online CAD either (tried in the past and blew a RAM card in the process). I think I'll just settle for the valk i have.
  23. pengbuzz
    My computer cannot handle a 3D printer; it's on it's last legs as it is.
  24. pengbuzz
    That would be the bomb! I still need to convince my library to let me 3d print a gunpod and super armor, but they're not thrilled at the idea.

    "Yes, I'd like a VF-1 Valkyrie Value meal, supersized!"
