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
-
And thus, HG will sit at the "gates", unwilling to let anyone else profit from Macross until the end of time itself.
-
No... we really don't want to see a couple of dim-witted Starfleet hitmen cadets being shown how to clean blood out of the back of a shuttlecraft, after one of them accidentally shoots another cadet in the head with a phaser.
-
I really hope they don't try to drag John DeLancie back into the role of Q. Aside from the obvious (I don't see Q as trying to "keep age" with Picard), it would just be more shenanigans on Q's part, only this time to a elderly captain who probably wants nothing to do with Q's antics.

Don't forget an Uno card.

At the rate HG is going, at gun point would be their only option.

Yeah, it is very hard to do; you have to account not just for where parts would go, but that they do not create "traffic jams" (points where the parts get in the way of each other and cannot be reconciled), joints can support the weight of the parts, and that there is enough armor coverage that gaps that could leave inner mechanisms exposed are filled in. (Note: No, crochet didn't work out for me. I stink at it, so I gave sci-fi another chance) In the end, that's why Valk designs are very hard to do, and Tommy Yune gets a lot of credit for even trying here. I designed and build my own transformable Valk some time ago, and I had to rework it a ton of times. And yet, folks complained about it no matter how I revised it. In the end, I settled for what I came up with, though I'm still thinking of possible ways to revise and improve it. As it stands, when Shoji Kawamori designs his stuff out, I heard he uses Lego to test the transforms and whatnot; that's how hard it can be. And he created the Valkyries to begin with! So to the point: I agree completely, Seito. It's not so simple, and anyone who tries it, I give a lot of credit just for the attempt.

HG and Tatsunoko can keep this steaming pile of garbage now, as I'm tired of the drama and trying to find Macross without the RB logo plastered across it thanks to Agramma. Between this, the crap with Star Trek and Disney's corruption of Star Wars, I think it's time I simply give up on anime and sci-fi as a whole and take up crochet. I'm done.
-
I was looking for a TV Storm Attacker to build a transform for and make a transformable kit, much like the current smaller Arii one that I have.

*Stabs Death in neck with pencil* "Be excellent, dude."

Aside from the cleanup issue (which is about normal for any two-tone paint job), I really like how this is coming out!
-
A better idea for masking is Scotch "frosted" tape (the clear kind). it leaves a cleaner line with no bleed when burnished down.
-
Speaking of Eagles; a while back, I kitbashed together an Eagle concept of my own: Would you believe it started life as a spare Sovereign-class warp nacelle I had lying around? lol
-
Hmmm... Paramount/CBS had a conniption when it came to fan productions, but seems to have no issue when it comes to violating them itself concerning others' IP. I'm not saying the two are the exact same issue, but I do see something of "pot and kettle" here.
-
Polar lights, Jonny Lightning, MPC and Lindberg are now brand names of Round 2.
-
Well... we could simply use the Discovery episodes he was in as a springboard for a new series: "Star Trek: Pike".
-
Can we at least keep all the Captain Pike stuff?
-
They did, but in 1/2500 scale and the recent 1/350 scale (HUGE mutha!). They also re-released the AMT D7 movie version ("K'Tinga" class) in 1/537: https://round2corp.com/product/cadet-series-motion-picture-era-set/ https://round2corp.com/product/star-trek-klingon-ktinga-2/ https://round2corp.com/product/star-trek-klingon-ktinga-class-battle-cruiser-i-k-s-amar/

I built the older AMT 1/2500's when the three-set came out, and I built the newer 2 stuff; let me tell you, the quality is night and day! The R2 tiny refit was worlds better than AMT's attempt.:better detailing, not so chunky, no protruding "panel lines" and the decals were pretty good. My only complaint was getting an aztec stuck on my thumb! lol All that said: I've also built the 1/1000 scale ones and they're not bad either. I don't think Defiant will disappoint you, but I haven't built that one yet.
-
I built the 1/2500 Refit E and Reliant; I then used them in a WoK diorama, along with Playmates figures of Kirk and Khan: (I reworked the figures as well) It has a custom Starfleet movie emblem I had made for the Diorama, but it broke off and shattered during our move from the Rockies back to the East Coast: Soon as I can, I'll build and paint up a new one for it. For right now, money's tight.
