Now we just need a bunch of Regults dancing to Walk Like An Egyptian

More exposure, wider distribution of the OVA's and series, and better promotion of the products/ series overall. One reason I ever knew about RT/Macross was the models coming out in the stores before the series did! In other words: give the people a chance to see what we all fell in love with years ago (even if we found out it was Macross later on!)

Wow, Stewart looks old... must be in his 80's now...
-
Either that, or the catering trucks for the executive producers....
-
Makes me wonder if they're planning on trying to make RT/ Macross bigger now that BW and HG settled their feud...
-
Step-down?

Nice work Thom! Reminds me of the work I did designing planets for my Star Trek series.

The 'Hey look at this really cool model build I saw' post

The same way as I do when everyone else's work outshines mine: "CHALLENGE ACCEPTED." Example: everyone else got to do their 1/3000 SDF-1 before I could, but now that I have mine, I have something they didn't: Them to copy from!!! rofl!!! -

That works; I'll get the popcorn, you get the soft drinks. \

Idea: they could kill off Chekov and PineKirk blames himself.
-
Right? Maybe someday he'll make a Star Wars movie.
-
I'll agree on all counts; just the best I could think of to get the ball rolling again! Yeah, but it still feels like they tried to cram it into Star Wars' shoes and the fit was utterly horrific.

Let's see if we can get this topic back on the rails then; One of the biggest complaints I've always had about JJTrek is the unprofessionalism and unearned rank of Captain PineKirk (this is directed towards the writing, but also the age of the actor/ character). Prime Kirk earned his captaincy, and while something of a maverick, knew his position and took it seriously. He also took discipline and authority seriously as well. PineKirk doesn't, and at times, ti seems the entire bridge crew doesn't either. Not to mention Prime Kirk had to earn his command over a lot more years than PineKirk's what...2-3 years? And he wasn't still a cadet at the time either. To me, what that points to is JJ Abrams trying to make Trek into Star Wars: The Federation Years rather than Star Trek. Rank and chain of command existed for a reason in the Prime Universe, but in JJTrek, they use that chain for a jump-rope, and they toss whatever person just happens to be there (an engineer gets sent to an ice world for screwing up and suddenly they trust him to be chief engineer of the Federation Flagship?). This is why I really don't want to see their next attempt: it's bound to be painful.

Starting to wonder if they should just ask Seth McFarlane to take over helming Star Trek. I know there's probably a lot of good reasons he wouldn't (and probably shouldn't), but it's sad when he has a better grasp of what Trek is truly all about than those who currently own it!

I'd love to see them do the New Macross class (with city section)!!
-
Really nice work there MT! BTW: I never knew the pilot sat just under the head; good thing robots don't sneeze! lol One thing I like about Macross World Forums: if you need references (or just about anything else!), someone's bound to have them!

Nice!

Already gone, but I have one formed already.

I wonder also if the head laser could slide into the head a bit?

What it does is re-distribute the plasticizer in the plastic (from the article I read), but you need to be careful to not melt the plastic. One minute in the boiling water is enough, and I don't recommend it for styrene generally. As for moisture: that's a possibility (not an expert on plastics per se). As for the bolt: that's the idea! The bolt is now adhered via plastic welder (adheres metal too ast3500 psi strength according to the package) to the metal frame, so it won't transmit shock or stress to the plastic chest "boxes" on either side. This project has been a distant dream that only now came true; I paid as much as I did because the arms were not broken off of it, only to have it happen out of the package! But returning it would have just put me back at "zero", and any of these are going to be vulnerable anyways. Hopefully, I can get the one derex is offering (waiting on him to check shipping for me) and then I can proceed. Mog, I wanted to revisit your post; I promised you some internal pics, and here they are: As you can see here, the bolt head is nearly flush with the black plastic collar for the shoulder. But to make sure the bicep cleared, I took off a little of the top of it and beveled the "square" end of it (had to hold it in place manually for the photo, as the spring socket for the bicep kept popping it off the shoulder block!) My latest progress so far: I removed the bridge "bubble" in preparation for installing a clear one and miniature bridge. I plan on completely fabricating the radar array and antennae, and scratching up a better radome for the left side. Meantime, I also did some rework on the separation mechanism for the bridge, and got the sliders to go out further. i don't like the blocky "undertackle" on them though; i may remove the sliders and work out a better slide system for it. Stay tuned... Misa's probably gonna get grumpy while the Bridge is a mess!
