  1. Okay, so the makers of the VF-1 merged into Shinsei, and the Corporation that rebuilt the SDF-1 merged with others into GG. Do I have that correct? In real life, weapons can possess longevity because of how they are designed. I know the VF-1 is far more complex though than a simple firearm (and would make the comparison kind of an ill-fitting one), but I can't help but but be reminded of the Colt 1911 .45 pistol. Over a hundred years later and the basic design hasn't changed and they're still made is quantity.
  2. Yeah; having had both the VF-1 and AFC-01 as transformable models/toys in 1/48 scale, the Armo-Soldier is kind of a shrimp by comparison. I had to hunt down few pics to make sure I remembered correctly:
  3. Yeah; the weird one that the entire shoulder block has to rotate to use the arms (Like the Panosh Place version).
  4. Yeah, like they built it in Pittsburgh or something...
  5. It's a Reeses Valkyrie!!! *Isamu*: "You got YF-21 in my YF-19!!!" *Guld*: "You got YF-19 in my YF-21!!!" Commercial for those who have absolutely NO idea what I'm talking about:
  6. Quick question for clarification: when you say "predecessors", do you mean they became Shinsei, or simply that they predated Shinsei?
  7. No, I have no casting materials. I still have more work to do on the wheels; this is just "first colors" to see how it would look. I'd rather not bu anything else when the work I'm doing is just incomplete.
  8. I wish they would sell Blazing Sword/ Ten Kings word separately; I could use
  9. No problem! And the reason I don't scratch build it: my hands don't work so well anymore. It's too small for me to make now. My apologies; I didn't mean to derail your build here, NB4M! Really looking forward to where you take this one!!:)
  10. Misa and Minmei don't count.
  11. That's one problem I've always had with "the force"; Yoda said "Life creates it, makes it grow", yet as far as I know, life is life. It's more than humans or even sentient beings; it's animals, plants, etc. that are neither good nor evil but just are. So I guess my point is: why would the Force be dichotimized to that degree (writer's notwithstanding)? My take on it would be that the "Force" amplifies what is already there, and that power corrupts. If you're an a-hole, you're going to become an even bigger one if you don't watch it. Of course there is good and evil, but while emotions can lead to bad things, love shouldn't be a path to the dark side. Just my two cents on this for what it's worth, Seto. I may be oversimplifying things or missing certain issues, so please take what I say with a block of salt and a belt sander. :p
  12. UPDATE: A couple of pics for now (heading off to bed after some pain-induced insomnia) of Street Hawk in progress: Ended up using a 1/12 Maisto Honda CRF450R as the basis for this build (closest I could find in this scale)- Unfortunately, the forks broke on me, so I cobbled together a replacement set using an old radio antenna: Converting the wheels from "wire" to "mag" was also a royal pain: Stay tuned, more to come....
  13. *imagines Battroid happily bouncing down the street*
  14. A lovely surprise to have climbing out of a battlesuit.
  15. Sorry MT; I'm not that good! Meantime, my next project is underway; can anyone guess from the pic? -
  16. See, I knew you guys couldn't stand it!!! (yuk yuk yuk) *runs for dear life* Seriously though, it's amazing what 5 minutes with Photoshop can do!
  17. Thanks guys! It was a monster, but it got done at last! BTW: can anyone find something missing in that pic?
  18. It makes me wonder, with his being a user and all, if he knew things that would allow him to survive where programs would not on the grid?
  19. I've been scouring the internet for the instructions for you; aside from ones that you can buy on eBay, I found a pic of some of them on worthpoint: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/robotech-defenders-zoltek-model-22173203 I also found a video of the same model kit with a few shots of the instructions @6:39 - 7:15 in the video: I checked scalemates and other sites, but nothing really. I recall "Zoltek" was actually the Dougram suit from Fang of the Sun Dougram. Sorry, that's the best I can do.
  20. Calling this one done:
