  1. Unfortunately, I had to remove the huge cannon barrel on the underside, as it was causing the fuselage to split. It still has a cannon under there, but the barrel now runs the length mostly of the underside aft of the cockpit: Still a pretty big gun, all things considered! As for this ship's purpose: I was thinking more along the lines of destroying weaponized asteroids being fired at Earth by a malevolent colony world or some such thing.
  2. Be careful what you wish for, 'cause I ain't going home: Stay tuned folks...
  3. Sounds like at the rate they're going, the next major anime will be Watching Paint Dry: A Love/ Horror/ Comedy Story.
  4. Thanks! Admittedly, some of them are going to be solar panels (hence the blue; the paint needs to cure before the dark transparent blue overcoat). I plan on putting HUGE GUNS on this one! Right? Probably the way the outer wings flare, similar to the Gunstar. What flaws? That ship is looking pretty sweet, Thom!
  5. UPDATE: "first colors" (to see how it would look in metallics), and an actual canopy: Closeup on canopy: Cockpit minus canopy: Stay tuned folks...
  6. Progress on the ...well, whatever I think to call this one eventually: I threw some prime on it to give me a better basis on how to proceed with it; the multi-tone look was giving me migraines. We'll see where his one goes. Stay tuned...
  7. I think "low effort" would imply that they at least put a minuscule amount of effort into it. This steaming pile of plastic fertilizer looks to have zero effort put into it.
  8. Hey folks, just settling in from moving (more like recovering from the move from hell). While I was sitting down tonight (legs hurt like all get-out, back on fire and all my old injuries screaming in agony), I found 4 model kits (2 F-4's and 2 F-16's, all in 1/72, donated by a couple of friends) that I didn't know what to do with.... Well, I began gluing things together and not following any plan other than "ad-libbing" as I went. The result so far: I don't know what this will be just yet; I know it's nothing to do with Macross or any other franchise I know. Just going to keep cobbling this together and see where it leads. I do know it will be some kind of long-range fighter/ interceptor type of craft that operates primarily in space. May do a story for it when finished, don't know just yet. All I know about it is that it's made from 4 different kits. O.o Stay tuned...
  9. Seriously, Frontier was scored by Kanno (and lyrics as Seto mentioned), and Delta wasn't a slouch either. Not to mention that while Kanno has had quite the impact on the OST's shes done, she's not the only game in town.
  10. Thanks! BTW, you mean this: Or this: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7tmbf3
  11. ROFL!!! LOVE THIS!!! BTW: anyone see the VF-1A "Angel Bird" eating ramen at 1:57?
  12. Not going to bother with the rest of these; whoever wrote them needs to lose their job(s).
  13. I see what you mean (after looking at a few other things); I still think maybe the visor is the wrong size too. But that head is definitely off.
  14. 1) I think the visor is too small compared to the rest of the head. Also, there's too much space between the visor and the "mouth" area, which is throwing it off for me. 2) Yeah; they're about 10% too big. 3) Yeah...that's gotta suck. 4) Agreed; that could be remedied by an alcohol "wipe", but why should you have to risk the paint job just to compensate for their idiocy? 5) Right? I particularly notice the ones at the top of the chest; no call for that being so unweildly. 6) Well, if ya toss the box and just tell folks it's Macross, I'm sure you, I and the mech won't say a word! And yeah: it does make me wonder what they'll do with the 1S.
  15. I'm finally calling this one finished. I got the replacement plane painted and glued in; time to move on...
  16. Smart call; why pay more to get a set of strike/ super armor when you can get the entire package for one price?
