    Hey folks, just settling in from moving (more like recovering from the move from hell). While I was sitting down tonight (legs hurt like all get-out, back on fire and all my old injuries screaming in agony), I found 4 model kits (2 F-4's and 2 F-16's, all in 1/72, donated by a couple of friends) that I didn't know what to do with.... Well, I began gluing things together and not following any plan other than "ad-libbing" as I went. The result so far: I don't know what this will be just yet; I know it's nothing to do with Macross or any other franchise I know. Just going to keep cobbling this together and see where it leads. I do know it will be some kind of long-range fighter/ interceptor type of craft that operates primarily in space. May do a story for it when finished, don't know just yet. All I know about it is that it's made from 4 different kits. O.o Stay tuned...

    Seriously, Frontier was scored by Kanno (and lyrics as Seto mentioned), and Delta wasn't a slouch either. Not to mention that while Kanno has had quite the impact on the OST's shes done, she's not the only game in town.

    ROFL!!! LOVE THIS!!! BTW: anyone see the VF-1A "Angel Bird" eating ramen at 1:57?

    Not going to bother with the rest of these; whoever wrote them needs to lose their job(s).

    I see what you mean (after looking at a few other things); I still think maybe the visor is the wrong size too. But that head is definitely off.
  11. pengbuzz
    1) I think the visor is too small compared to the rest of the head. Also, there's too much space between the visor and the "mouth" area, which is throwing it off for me. 2) Yeah; they're about 10% too big. 3) Yeah...that's gotta suck. 4) Agreed; that could be remedied by an alcohol "wipe", but why should you have to risk the paint job just to compensate for their idiocy? 5) Right? I particularly notice the ones at the top of the chest; no call for that being so unweildly. 6) Well, if ya toss the box and just tell folks it's Macross, I'm sure you, I and the mech won't say a word! And yeah: it does make me wonder what they'll do with the 1S.

    I'm finally calling this one finished. I got the replacement plane painted and glued in; time to move on...
  13. pengbuzz
    Smart call; why pay more to get a set of strike/ super armor when you can get the entire package for one price?

    This is why I end up rebuilding stuff like the Matchbox SDF-1; if I actually want to own it before I'm in a nursing home, I'll have to make it myself. As for this one they claim they're going to come out with; I think we'll be sitting here saying the same things this time next year as well.

    They must do a detailed study of the most unpopular features of the VF-1 model kits from the past, and then incorporate all the worst ideas.

    *Takes notes* Thank you gentlemen; this really helps!

    Okay; I had thought Infrared came under "active" for some odd reason (was under the impression "active stealth" was more broad=based than it is). I was also thinking that since Infrared exists as part of the spectrum (I know infrared and heat energy are related but not the same), that perhaps it could be bent or diffracted. *alternately, just stick yer plane in the fridge, pengbuzz*

    And now Nexflix has proof that if they don't want their adaptions to suck...
  19. pengbuzz
    Yeah, I wanted to do that Cy-Kill kit, but never had the money/ opportunity. Were I to do it now, the rider figure would be replaced with a pre-made scale retail one. I would also replace the kit joints with ones from regular transformers toys; both of these, since I have an inherent distrust of joints made from styrene. Also someday: would love another shot at a Gobots Leader-1/ Mospeada Leigoss. Last oen I built was when I was a wee little pengbuzz...

    Hey, it's not what you think!!! I was eating potato chips and got crumbs on my shirt!!!
  21. pengbuzz
    Ah; I wasn't aware of that. And reducing the Brain systems to support rather than primary makes a lot of sense. Yeah; I was asking more of a general question unrelated to the YF-21, but I definitely appreciate the info! I ask because on a certain project I'm constantly working on, I'm constantly refining it and have several issues that need answers. Understood; I wonder then about the VF-17 Nightmare? I also wonder if "active stealth" has the capability to scatter or in some other way mitigate IR signatures/ emissions? Point taken; autism would explain a lot.
  22. pengbuzz
    Well, admittedly with #2, trying to find a way for stealth to actually work without being pointless due to waste heat. Not familiar though with the ISC, I'll have to look that up. Thanks for the info, and yeah: guess Basara's ego is really too powerful! lol
  23. pengbuzz
    Those restraints must've royally sucked if they needed to revert to manual controls for any reason. It also sounds like the craft was so twitchy that anything that disturbed the pilot's trance like state or rocked the delicate tolerances of the craft would essentially cripple it. Talk about a "glass cannon"! On a couple of unrelated side notes: 1) I wonder if a craft could directly draw upon heavy quanta to power itself without the need for its' own power source and fuel for thrust (such as nuclear fusion)? 2) Could said craft also dump its' waste heat into Fold Space to avoid detection? 3) Could Basara dump his ego into fold space?
  24. pengbuzz
    Right? Just leave the rotors off and borrow a pair of VTOL engines from a 1/72 Osprey kit and you'd have a sci-fi craft!
