No, at least not at this point.

For a while now, I've seen the Macross Armored Factory kits online, and while I like the idea, the scale is too small for me. Additionally, my valkyries are all in 1/72 scale. So what is a pengbuzz to do? Build the factory in 1/72, as a diorama/base/backdrop. So first, the wall and door get traced and cut: A tad smaller than I wanted, but whatever. I only have so much mattboard and not a lot of money. Door has been cut and placed, along with the beginnings of the wall: Starting the "lock holes" for the moving gantry/walkway" Not as bad on the scale as I feared, but still a little smaller than I originally wanted: Next up: the floor with turntables; I plan on deepening this with a thicker base and wells or the turntables: Added a "human-sized" door for forklifts and the like: And last night, added the moving crane arm well, glued into position for this setup. Moving parts for me usually break, so I don't do much with them: Stay tuned folks, more to come as I progress...

Yeah...when Robotech came out, all I really cared about was the first part (which i later found out was Macross). After finding out Macross was a separate series originally, I made the jump and ditched Southern Confusion--er, I mean Cross, and Mospeada.

NP Thom; just happy to see someone else using it. :) UPDATE: I work fast sometimes- I'm hoping to have the bottom on a more stable base in a bit. Stay tuned...

I think WEP managed to do a better job of securing the rights for both GoLion and Dairugger XV than HG's bungled hashing for Macross and such. WEP also didn't go out and try to butcher fans of either series, as I think you're referencing here. And frankly, i think WEP at least improved GoLion with a better intro theme!

Well, hello and greeting then to another Inkscape user!

Thanks! I'm planning a few touches of my own to distinguish this from the 1/100 kit. Factory, you guessed it! I figure that anything in 1/100 can be replicated in 1/72, and building it out of matt board should be a bit easier than plastic (I had a bunch of it lying around from an artwork project that needed matting).

Looking sweet and sharp, Thom! Meantime folks, another of my infamous "projects" begins... What I began with tonight: And what I have so far: I think folks here may pick up on what I'm building in 1/72 scale. Stay Tuned...

In a word: yup.
-
Gives new meaning to the term "prepare for fold".
-
Yes...but not anytime soon. Not to mention that HG is an insult to primates everywhere...
-
Wait...they actually pay people to work for them? From the sounds of it, I thought they simply caught them unawares out in public and chained them to a desk in their dungeon of an office with only some stale bread and rancid soup to sustain them.

Gotcha...I kind of guessed that when you were mentioned in the third person in the acknowledgments. Still impressive how many folks from here are involved there. Ah, legalzoom. Providing quality legal advice since 1999. ROFL
-
Preferably, an Itano Circus, right?
-
You're the webmaster for the Macross Mecha Manual? Wow...I had no clue! On that note: I just read the acknowledgments there. I hang my head in shame at not knowing how many folks from here contributed there. O.o In HG's case, they'd hvae to be external. If they were anything like HG, their 3-piece suit would be made of paper and their law degree would probably be courtesy of Kellog' s Corn Flakes

So is a kidney stone, and this is just as painful to bear as one too...

"Quark's Eleven".

Looks like a flying billboard for prophylactics.... Looks like it needs said prophylactics...

She'd be better off calling Gillette for a razor.

Really liking the way this is coming out Thom!

That's not "gritty"...that's a dude in drag.

No...I heard that HG wants to get a court order preventing it from turning into a red giant. Their reasoning: it would look too much like the RDF symbol!
-
I know...that's why I'm laughing so hard! It reminds me of the comic "artist" (tracer) Greg Land, whose work is essentially tracing model pics and simply altering them for his X-Men stints (amongst others).

ROFL!

I did; he pretty much ruined the G1 comic by trying to "continue" it. I simply dismiss his later "work" and don't bother with it. Has anyone noticed that Minmei looks like a dude in drag in this version? O.o
