    Assuming the Macross runs on fusion, probably the same slush as the fighters.
  2. pengbuzz
    Yeah... sometime I have to fix that on mine. Materials have been a bit short as of late.

    I saw these on Ebay- Head Lasers: https://www.ebay.com/itm/165487283784?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&campid=5338722076&customid=&toolid=10050 Gunpod: https://www.ebay.com/itm/165273993560?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20200818143230%26meid%3D9892caa76f244e3484a081480b14d86d%26pid%3D101224%26rk%3D5%26rkt%3D5%26sd%3D165273993219%26itm%3D165273993560%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2047675%26algv%3DDefaultOrganicWeb&_trksid=p2047675.c101224.m-1 Gunpod attachment connector (connects gunpod to arm): https://www.ebay.com/itm/165273993219?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&campid=5338722076&customid=&toolid=10050&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAkAtz4%2FNkeXYSlY3R28pJaBLTWBs1fbkX2SbXcCORFVwjqZjkMrjIDMYgPfSLWO%2F4mqSfLHenD1f5TXRHPp%2ByuR66AQsD9J1CBakIJeo8R3JtBoWMUKD3wtj5PRhOVyABkeGZZh4ZCHcmauMEv%2Ftii1VCqlbQMbTWL5khTGiWUBuG66kobFq8zKNBkhoQ49GYyQ%3D%3D Note: "Jetfire" refers to Hasbro's VF-1 import to the US as an Autobot Character; the gunpod and connector for that should still work with a Takatoku valk. Hope this helps! -PB

    If they could do it for $60, that would be worth trying for a x-mas gift!
  5. pengbuzz
    Nice job! (BTW: bottom one. )

    Let's just hope Queen Mera doesn't poop in Arthur's bed! O.o

    From my experience, the blue plastic is particularly poor; it reacts badly to the UV in natural daylight and is so brittle that you can snap it easily between your fingers. I used devcon plastic welder to reinforce cracked and broken areas; be advised that if you glue an area, reinforce it as much as humanly possible! I ended up having to bond the bolts for the shoulders (which I also ran through the metal boom pivots) to the metal frame that the center torso rotates on, so as to avoid placing any stress on the blue chest housings!

    This looks really good:
  10. pengbuzz
    Er...this looks creepy as all git-out....
  11. pengbuzz
    Thanks, much appreciated. maybe someday I can get my hands on a plastic model of it (after I win the lottery)

    UPDATE: sadly, I must abandon the Yamato project. I ended up injuring my hands and wrists more seriously than I first suspected. The sheer force of trying to carve the wood ended up causing damage to the tendons in my arms; I'm under medical orders to rest and not continue the project. Anyways, sorry folks (especially Thom!). I tried, but this one beat the peng. My wife was kind enough to dispose of it for me, and it's long gone now. I'll be around.
  13. pengbuzz
    Not when i can simply hold the model in my hand and turn it. Less tiring that way.

    Amazon must be amazing in the Delta Quadrant!

    Good to see ya posting! Nice collection, BTW!

    My rarest Star Wars item(rarest for me, probably not all that rare) is a RotJ X-Wing model kit (large version): As built:

    Now imagine if they did a mashup of Macross Plus and Macross II... ...they could call it Macross II Plus II. *runs*
  18. pengbuzz
    If I had one, I would!!! Honestly though, if I had the choice and had the money for one, at this rate, I'd just get a kit!! O.o Taking a break from this for a week or so... wrists no likey this kind of brutality...
  19. pengbuzz
    Still a LOT to remove...need to thin the diameter of the hull and correct proportions. Have to print out new blueprints (old ones are MIA). Stay tuned... hands and wrists are sore...

    Thanks Thom! Now, I cannot promise anything with this, since my tooling is fairly limited and so is my materials supply. But as long as the ride goes, I'll be driving it! There's quite a bit of wood to remove, and sawdust makes my wife very ill (not to mention outside is a big no-no with our new property managers and the neighborhood already a bunch of punks!). All that said, we'll see if I have a ship at the end. Stay tuned... we may just be off to outer space...

    The chest looks almost like a VF-17 (minus the medium bore cannons).
  23. pengbuzz
    Right? I have noted that myself watching MII, and the shock they face when their normal way of winning doesn't work.
  24. pengbuzz
    If they had played it smart in Picard (there's a term you'll never see associated witht hat series normally! lol ), they would have somehow tapped into that animosity between Q and Guinan before the end.
  25. pengbuzz
    So it seems the Main timeline and the MII timeline have differing takes on defending the planet from Zentran invasion; necessitated by the differences between the series/ universes. I like the MII universe myself.
