    Which reminds me... did you ever hear that the band Aerosmith wrote and performed a song specifically for UN Spacy as part of their unveiling of the VF-1?

    Okay...you buying? On a more serious note: some heavy-duty references- Aoshima model kit instructions: https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/image/10098497 EDCC and Cockpit from series: https://www.airwolf-online.com/edcc Real-life Bell 222 cockpit pics and specs: https://helichicago.com/charter-services/

    Personally, I was hoping for a transporter accident where she and the command crew are turned into something resembling Ted from the ending of I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream.

    It had it coming. Thanks you (and Thom). Been a lot of bad instances lately.... just trying not to think on them too much. As for Superman: thinking about buying the classic Mego 14 inch figure and a pre-sculpted 1/6 Chris Reeve head and using those to recreate it. Less work and batter materials. Just need to resolve the issue with an idiot on Ebay rooking me on something I ordered 😠 ) As for Airwolf: already removed the metal post for the rotor blades and drilled through the metal to recreate the actual rotor mast assembly. No rest for the pengbuzz. Life is short and the list of projects endless. I wonder if I have enough colors:

    Yeah; it's this, only in white and formerly a "coast guard" helo: It's about 1/32 scale ( measures 14 inches from nose to tail); I found what was left of it at an antique mall, and with the main upper being diecast, I should be able to kitbash it without the blasted thing falling apart on me. (I hope.) I plan on doing a limited rear command center for Dom (won't be able to see much from the front), and a full front cockpit for Stringfellow Hawke. Undecided about doing a Caitlin O'Shannessy figure as of yet (kind of on the fence about that). Weapons: may do them as magnetic "plug-ins" that fit onto the exterior. Neodymiums should work. This is something to take my mind off of things, as I had yet another tragedy amongst my models and figures: my custom scratchbuilt 1/6 Christopher Reeve Superman figure got knocked off the shelf (loud "boom box on wheels" came by on the street and vibrated everything badly) and the figure shattered (total loss) and the hand-sewn outfit was melted (landed on the radiator). (That one hurt. ) I'm not going to try rebuilding it, as we have other issues cropping up, and my sculpting skills for faces are no longer what they once were. Also wrestling with Ebay and an idiot seller who's trying to rook us on an item. So, I'll just continue with this. Stay tuned.

    My solution: the model is in the trash. Wanted to save this as a tomcat, but that's not going to happen. Honestly, I'm tired of trying with projects; they never seem to come out right anymore. And with space at a premium now, I have no room for "crash dioramas" or projects that fail (not to mention having to explain to the wife that they failed). Just sick of this $#1t.... I'll see you folks around.

    I hate A-wings. 😠
  10. pengbuzz
    Honestly... I'm tired of building Tomcats. These were replacements for ones that should never have died. Thanks all the same.
  11. pengbuzz
    Thanks, but the project died last night. Irretrievable loss due to structural fatigue. Taking a break for a bit now. Pretty bummed.

    If you don't mind my asking, what happened to Gubaba?
  13. pengbuzz
    Don't get me going about F-14's; having a disaster with the current one I'm building. Considering ether trying to find a new kit or scrapping it altogether. 😠

    It's often made me wonder if in-anime. the parts themselves transform as well (sort of like the Michael Bay transformers)? Nose, arms and legs reconfigure and become shorter and thicker in Battroid mode, while turning longer and more slender in fighter mode? Just a thought.
  15. pengbuzz
    Starting to wish they'd get away from newtypes... too much potential for what's happening here ("wizards").

    Thanks for posting this Seto!! Saving a copy for my personal files...

    I wonder:
  18. pengbuzz
    My apologies. Dialed down, and previous snarkiness removed (as far as I know) from my previous post. To try to move this into a more positive light: @Seto Kaiba: would there be a situation/ situations where destroids would be more useful in combat than a Valkyrie? An example I can think of is perhaps Southern Cross or maybe Mospeada, where it looks like much of the fighting was ground based (admit it's been a while since I've seen either series, so this is by very shaky recollection). Or would those be poor venues for that?

    On my workbench now: Keeping a promise to some lost friends; first up is the F-14A Tomcat (VF-1 Wolfpack September 1974, CV(A)N-65 U.S.S. Enterprise). The next two will be the F-14A (Top Gun, Maverick/Goose's plane, 1986), then the F-14D (VF-213 Black Lions, 2005). These represent the birth, zenith and end of the F-14's career over a span of 31+ years. Cockpit's pretty much done; just need to clean up around the frame. once that's done, masking and initial priming commences. Stay tuned...

    Why pay for that feature? Just plug in an electric vacuum to the car and duct tape it to the rear bumper. You'd get about the same effect.

    Not to mention time; animators, especially those in Asia, are often very overworked (I've heard of them sleeping on the studio floors during projects). Anything that can save them time and effort is a bonus.
  22. pengbuzz
    A little undecided on this one, since funds are scarce for me. At the same time, I loved the setting and mecha for MII (albeit I don't read Japanese very well).
  23. pengbuzz
    Ideon = tragic and brutal mass slayings via infinite power, conveniently contained in one mech. Seriously.... it sliced a planet in half:
  24. pengbuzz
    Not to mention that all of this is happening during what is pretty much the end of the world as we know it. That's going to make people a bit more clouded in their relationships I would think.
  25. pengbuzz
    My apologies. Sometimes kind of hard for me to tell when my online tone is off; no disrespect intended. Dial turned down to 2.3.
