    Thanks MT; and yeah, the nonsense about the Alcohol is ridiculous! I imagine after the pandemic is over, you're going to have a lot of folks trying to sell TP and isopropyl dirt cheap (or explain to their families why they have no food but enough toilet paper to make a valkyrie!) Looking forward to seeing the cannon built and working! Meantime, paintwork progressing on the 1/100 Strike Valk: Still needs detailing, a canopy, decals and such. But so far, so good...

    If they want to survive, some dead weight's gotta be tossed. And nothing is deader than a comic based on a half-assed attempt to revive an 80's pastiche of anime trying to tell the Macross story without using Macross. It's kind of like Pizza hut trying to stay in business without serving pizza.

    Well, as for myself: my 1/72 VF-1S Hasegawa is on hold until I can find some more alcohol to clean off overly heavy paint (not to mention more primer and white!). meanwhile, I recently revisited my 1/72 scale Launch Diorama (DYRL) that I did a while back, and after some measurements and comparisons... ...it's not 1/72; it's 1/100! Thankfully, I recently received a 1/100 VF-1 kit that is part of the "15th Anniversary" Macross series; it has the updated Strike Pack (including Mauser Dual Beam Cannon). I had to do some slight mods on the square missile launchers to make them the DYRL version, but nothing too exotic. Most of the work has gone into making the model non-transformable (a first for me, right?), as to save much unneeded weight and to properly accurize it. Right now, I am going to be making a new canopy for it, as the old one is waaaaaaaay too thick and visually distorts the living heck out of the interior (probably use plastic from a soda bottle for that small of a scale). I plan on adding panel lines based off of the Hasegawa VF-1S with a pencil (at this scale, carved lines are overkill). I really thought that I had built this dio on scale, but since I have a smaller, lighter replacement valk that scales perfectly with it, I'm not about to complain! Stay tuned.

    And the 5 minutes of Vader-matic doing Ginsu on the Rebel troopers...

    Heck, ST:P makes Nemesis look downright cheery.

    Graves 180% Proof...would that do?

    Isn't Smirnoff what one would need to drink to get through a marathon of Southern Cross?

    Bioroids... not very strong but a pain in the a**. Just like Hemorrhoids...

    Someone already did it; all they did was to cut a plastic piece out to fit the dish and the trench, glued it to the dish and glued the combined part into place: https://www.trekbbs.com/threads/1-2500-enterprises.284682/

    Old weird creepy people' kind of like the "Starfleet Retirement Home for Aging Cliches".

    Looking incredible, Derex! Good to see her finished and with full warp nacelles!

    And with this... I declare Star Trek deader than dead. Congratulations CBS/ Amazon/ Paramount... you managed to do what no alien of the week ever could. Just let Trek molder in it's grave, TYVM. And do the world a favor: join it.

    I recall that the Unification wars were considered quite bloody by historians; given that account, the sheer loss of experienced pilots would have made the UN Govt. reluctant to risk any more people than necessary. Wow... someone want to talk to NORTHROM about the VF-1 Gasguzzler? At that rate, the project logo should have been a female Viking chugging some 80% Octane!!! I wonder if the Zentran forces would have picked up on the cooling and AI issues and used those to their advantage? Confuse the daylights out of them, run them around until they overheated and then pluck them off? I don't know how imaginative the Zentraedi could be (probably not much), but I could see someone like Quamzin toying with the Ghost fighters out of boredom.

    I've seen them and at times, they are a RIOT! Here is what they need to do:

    I was not familiar at all with "Honest Trailers"; had to go look it up on Youtube.

    Lol! I hear ya! Meantime...got some more work done. The detail got a little buried by paint, so I did my best with it. Doing this a second time around, I would forego my usual techniques, but I really don't feel like trying to strip paint off of this (not to mention there's no alcohol in the stores!). Anyway, the latest on my VF-1 Hasegawa build:

    You know...that would work!

    I'd pay real money to see you do that entire post as actual dialogue in a ST:Picard episode with the crew as a "Reason you Suck" monologue.

    Or at least an "AAA" sticker on it (so it could get towed back to base).

    With that kind of syndrome, I wonder if imagination would deteriorate as well? I would consider that even sadder; the only reason anyone is even watching this is because of the OG crew cameos, IMO. On it's own, most of the characters couldn't convince me to shop at 7-11 for a Slurpee.

    Thanks Thom! Well, you know me: I never do anything normal. Thanks MT! I wanted the diorama to look like an "actual photo" taken on the Prometheus flight deck. Going to be researching flight deck ops and get the appropriate deck crew figs and equipment to make it look like Roy is launching from Prometheus on "blue water ops" (conceptually, this would be several weeks before Launch Day for the SDF-1, so I want to tell a bit of a story with this one). And yeah, Carpal Tunnel just plain sucks. I decided not to get the surgery, as I didn't want the "bowstringing" effect from them cutting the tendon. I manage mine with stretches and rest.

    It did shatter HG's connection to reality apparently.

    Minor update: finished the leading edge slats on the wings. Just have to decide if I'm going to try to fit in the clear lights near the hinge end of the wing, or just suggest them in with paint:

    Ouch, I feel for ya, Arbit! I have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, and my hands can end up to where modeling is a no-go for a few days.

    LOL! Hey, let your boss know you're trying to do your part to fight COVID-19!
