One question I have Seto is: with what HG did to keep Macross pinned down and the recent victories BW won in the courts and such: is there a future for Macross globally and particularly in the US, or did HG manage to ruin it with their saturation of RT? I hope I'm being clear enough on my question; if not, I guess my concern is that after their initial failures to launch and their periodic re-releases, they managed to sour the planet on it.

The computer and electronics super geek thread
pengbuzz replied to azrael's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Sounds to me that whoever is writing the code for the firmware didn't check thoroughly enough that it would keep the voltage to 1.3v. Either a mistake in the code spelling or it isn't applied properly I would imagine. You'd think after compiling it that they would have done extensive tests. -

The same geniuses who brought us the Pet Rock ™? -
Looks like you have quite the model there! Looking forward to seeing how you do this one! UPDATE: just waiting on stuff for the E-D. But while I was waiting, I had to go digging for a replacement cord in my junk box (pc monitor cable went south on me!). While I eventually found the replacement in my other box, I did find this (previously a thrift-store rescue that had been redone once, but then stripped down and redone again): Obviously needs quite a bit of refinement, but I had previously corrected the nav deflector trench on it. After the E-D, I'm thinking of redoing this one (at least as much as my hands will put up with). It's the 1/1400 version, so it's in scale with the E-D. Stay tuned...

*wonders if people running ASUS had a mass lobotomy or something...* -
Maybe they would take a crack at the Macross itself? Perhaps even other ships in the later series?

The Transformers Thread (licensed) Next

Is it just me, or is anyone else getting tired of the "hollow-formers" (limbs and sections of torso open and hollow, looking cheap as all get-out)?- 18177 replies

What broke on your original 25F, if you don't mind my asking?
-
They live there, and the effects of that war ripple (and in many cases outright tear viciously) through their lives. We also see the cruelty and coldness of an Empire that doesn't care about those they govern, as well as the damage and harm they cause in the manipulation and maneuvering that those in power engage in to attain and maintain their little "kingdoms". This is another reason I think it's wise not to engage too much of the "alien cultures" in this series a s much as possible: so that people can relate to the story and have a personal interest in it.

Gundam Show Thread - MSG thru GQuuuuuuX
pengbuzz replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Yeah, that does clarify several things. It would have been beneficial in several ways if they had worked all of that into the series rather than leaving it the frenetic mess we see on-screen so far.- 4041 replies

In other words: they come from somewhere, and there's a reason why they're the way they are.

About time, right? They must have gotten a battlefortressload of complaints!

So pretty much: taking their high points where they can get them, right? You have a point. Sorry... Gundam Wing left a big imprint on me. (Quatre wasn't watching where he was piloting Sandrock and he stepped on me! O.o )- 4041 replies

Gundam Show Thread - MSG thru GQuuuuuuX
pengbuzz replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Yeah, it kind of throws me that they would be praising the premise rather than the actual content, but that's just me. It seems that the idea holds more appeal to them then the actuality. (Still waiting for Heero Yuy to show up in Wing Zero and clean house)- 4041 replies

I do, but this is a family-friendly board!

I should think that you could "take it apart" and leave the main parts of it to be framed.

You mean the Macross ones?
-
Thanks! It's brush painted (after sanding all the details off of it; I'll have to add the life boats and transporter emitters back later). The Bussard Ramscoops on the end were just red sharpie marker that was squeezed into some Rustoleum crystal clear finish and brushed on the insides. As for rents here: they're trending about $1500 for a one-bedroom. O.O
-
Unfortunately, no. Hobby shops and clubs both have been drying up where I live. Thankfully, the sanding was largely done before my hands gave out on me, so that's not an issue.
