    I wanted to address this past post; who knew that I'd get one just four months later? Anyways, an update on my 1/3000 Macross: the railguns on the shoulders I scratched up were coming apart, so I did an emergency transplant: And while I was at it, I did a sludge wash and some drybrushing to bring out the panel lines and details: And of course, the inevitable Photoshop job involving it: Stay tuned...

    Agreed; no race is simply static in their abilities. I just wanted to point out an option that allowed for the divisions that led to Protoculture trying to blow itself into tiny bits with their high-tech Holy Hand-Grenades of Antioch. I also suspect that as the conflicts went on, each faction/ side became increasingly more desperate and thus willing to try ever-riskier tech and ideas. On that note: what truly makes me shudder is that what has been discovered so far of the Protoculture's tech is probably only a very small amount, and that what lies out there yet to be uncovered may very well be even more frightening. If the Evils (Protodevlin) are any indication, then we've seen very little of what their technology and progress was really capable of.

    On the topic of Zentraedi craft, I found this pic online that shows the pilot inside their respective craft (probably been posted here before, but I figured it couldn't hurt to repost it if that's the case):

    So in universe, it would be societal and political influences at those particular times as well, right?

    Yeah... everyone knows a company won't release something unless/ until they see someone do it first! *secretly wonders if they have spy satellites positioned over the modelers'/ kitbashers' homes*

    Well, a way that could be explained is that these were different scientific groups within the Protoculture, each focusing on different scientific fields of research and technologies. But all of them under the auspices of the Protoculture as a whole and whose work was utilized by their government/ society. That would explain much (like our own military/ scientific industry nowadays focusing on different disciplines).

    More like they use it for a jump rope

    So their terraforming was more on the order of ChiaPlanet™, right?

    Must be a nice change, as opposed to the brutality and pointlessness of say, Attack on Titan...

    Those feet are just WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too long! lol Otherwise it looks remarkable!

    Looking really good for what you had to do at this point! I think you'll pull a showpiece out of this one with some detail work and a bit of post shading. :)

    And with that line of reasoning ending any further meaningful discussion, I'm out of here! Have fun y'all!

    Plus it's not all that hard: it's a fairly basic shape (flattened cone with 3 round engine nacelles), and shouldn't be too hard to make-

    Think they'll do a Gnerl fighter?

    Well, I foresee it heading to the "meta" section of Wal-mart's 5-dollar bin in electronics.

    When I did mine, I used a head magnifier and simply cobbled together several layers of plastic: After that, I made a cover by "heat and smash"-ing some soda bottle plastic over the end of a paintbrush handle: Looking forward to seeing how yours comes out, Tekering! Good luck!

    Agreed on all counts; I loved Rescue Rangers as a kid, and if this is a "love letter", then it must have been penned by the Marquis De Sade. As for Gadget and Zipper... just no words. That concept alone is pretty disgusting, not to mention... You know what? As far as I'm concerned, this "film" doesn't exist as far as I care, and it doesn't fit anywhere in with the series.

    Okay, I gotcha; the "metal build" part threw me a bit. What I would do then is glue the plastic piece, then coat the metal pin with vaseline or chap-stick and insert it in there to form the pin hole without adhering the pin. Then when it cures, remove the pin, file the part to the original dimensions, then reassemble the piece. That's also a good idea; just use caution when doing this, as I've found it can change the dimensions slightly due to it melting a tiny bit of material and potentially shrinking the pinhole. You may need to re-drill the pinhole if that happens.

    Really liking your work on this, Thom! Very clean and an excellent job on filling the seams!

    On that note: did Macross Chronicle or any official source ever mention an origin/ homeworld for the Protoculture? (WARNING: MOVIE SPOILER)

    Also, I recommend acetone to clean the fret and remove any residual oils.
  24. pengbuzz
    It makes me wonder if the Protoculture had any terraforming tech?

    The kit staircase looks like it's a part of one of those inflatable bounce houses! Nice job on the PE staircase!
