@pengbuzz Cool mechanism for the elevator. What did you use for power?
I used a phone charger with a USB plug in; the USB multi-port was just too weak and I didn't have a "Y" connector.

Thanks! Actually, it's just an old electric motor culled from a broken printer, a couple of gears and metal rods, heavy wire for elevator cable and a switch. Hardly "electronic" :lol:
BTW Gabe: nice job on the VF-0!

The theme sounds like they largely stole it from the animated Green Lantern OVA movie.

@pengbuzz Great work on the elevator! Is it just me, or does it sound like on the way up Optimus needs to lose some weight!?😄 Just kidding! It's normal for drives to sound like that under load. Cool concept too! - MT
Thanks MT! Yeah, under load the sound changes. I had a faster motor for it, but it almost put Optimus into orbit!
In all seriousness, though here's some pics of the internal mechanism:

Well, finally got my elevator installed and working.
Video here (not the best quality, but it is what it is!):

will this have english subs?
If they do, it had better be roast beef with lettuce, provolone cheese, green pepper and mayo on white french bread.

Wake me up whenever the series is rebooted or has new content. I've seen the original soooo many times.
Wake me up before you go-go, don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo. Wake me up before you go-go, I don't want to miss it when you hit that high.
Oh, sorry! I was listening to 80's music!

My wife went up to Winstar Casino with her brother this weekend for a quick end of summer trip. For some months now, I have been trying to gently convince my loving bride that after 10 years of me SUFFERING standing up, airbrushing models outside in the garage IN TEXAS is really getting to me now that I'm in my mid 40's. It's HOT, HUMID AF or.. COLD and hurts my back standing on the concrete. There are about 10 weekends a year MAYBE that it is actually enjoyable to do so. SO! My main problem is convincing her that I'm ONLY going to spray acrylics, which are water based and non toxic, and I spray such small amounts and clean up with Windex, that it would be fine. She thinks I'm going to asphyxiate us including the cats which eat and poop in that room and stink up the entire house with paint odor. I have shown here multiple pros that have indoor home setups such as Barbatos Rex on YouTube and he does EVERYTHING indoors, acrylics,, lacquers and enamels. ANYWAY, I took the bull by the horns and did a ton of research online, spent my $50 on supplies, had them shipped to my office last week and setup a proof of concept trial this morning while she is away! (She knows nothing about this!) LOL! This WILL be my idea of HEAVEN ON EARTH!!! Well....
RESULTS!!! -- Mixed -- I airbrushed the front and rear decks of the Titanic with Tamiya Acrylic. No paint odor at all and I got to SIT IN THE COOL room and paint!!! However, I used my handy new digital thermometer to take readings for temp and humidity in the kitchen, far away from the room, and later in the modeling room. 3 degrees warmer in the modeling room, and it just smelled like "outside" ICK. I went outside and could not feel any cool air escaping from the window, so that was good. You could definitely notice the outdoor smell and the temp change though, I'm guessing the temp change is due to just the piece of plastic letting in more heat then a double paned window, and the smell just is what you get from the air coming back through the tube into the spray booth, everything else was sealed up pretty darn airtight. So...I don't think it's going to work this time around, If I sealed the window panel better maybe, but for now, I'm going to keep all the parts I bought and maybe the next house we get, I'll have a "Man Shed" with AC out back or something...back to the garage I go...
....and I'm sad, after experiencing painting sitting down in the AC.
Links to the supplies I used:
Thoughts and criticisms welcome...here's some pics of the trial..
My thoughts: clean everything up before she gets back, or AC will be the least of your worries!

Never underestimate the power of Hollywood money. They'll crawl out of their irrelevance for another paycheck and massive explosions even how bad a movie may be.
Obviously this is all a joke. Some things should be left as is and doesn't need a live action reimagining.
True on all counts. Still having trouble imagining John Tuturro as Lisa.

I'd always assumed it was because she couldn't think of a way to make it look like an accident.
Well, Basara was hang-gliding in and mysteriously, the strings from his guitar got wrapped around his neck during the landing he failed to stick. Mylene was simply...er...trying to unwrap them before he strangled to death, but the poor girl just wasn't strong enough.
Such a tragedy... I hope they can cope with his loss. 😛

I just wish Big West would put a little more effort in. These videos from their Macross mobile game aren't exactly great-looking or representative of the actual content of the franchise.
Agreed.

So Michael Bay huh?
Let's see... this is US based so it's gonna be HG territory... I'm gonna pair it with the first TF cast.
Rick - Shia LaBeouf
Minmay - Megan Fox
Roy - Josh Duhamel
Ben - Tyrese Gibson
Max - dunno
Millia - dunno
Lisa - John Turturro
Yup... looks right.
Well, Shia "isn't famous anymore", Megan Fox ticked off either Michael or Steven Spielberg and ended up falling out of favor, Josh is still nursing his divorce from Fergie, and John just doesn't have the legs for the role anymore.

In all fairness, it wasn't even really Sharon Apple's fault... the computer model of a human mind she was built on was populated with emotion data from Myung Fang "I have issues" Lone, and then that idiot Marj Gueldoa installed a processor that might as well have had a label "CRAZY INSIDE" into her to make her autonomous.
Revisiting this, I have just the thing for ya:

@pengbuzz Do we need to get a walker or life raft for you? Did you guys fair alright in Hurricane Henri (according to your post)? - MT
A submarine would be nice...

@arbitI guess I never really thought about it, I guess 6 to 8 inches or so??? Maybe closer, BUT I'm now 46 and just got a new glasses prescription for my 1st pair of BIFOCULS...eeekkk!!!.. I'm old! So with that being said, when I get those new glasses in in a couple of weeks, things may change for me for the better with the working distance to small parts..I'll keep you posted!
I'm 47...ya wanna get me my walker sonny? 😛

Just to let folks know: depending upon how the next 24-48 hours go, I may not be able to get onto here.
We are right in the path of hurricane Henri.

It’s funny how a little face fix can make me go from “going in the box to hide your shame” to “I’m transforming you twenty times a day again” but I guess we Macross fans are a weird lot.
Nahhh... ya gotta take the "woosh" factor into account.
Anyways, some music for your newly-repaired Valk:

This movie makes Plan 9 From Outer Space look like a blockbuster...

Nice! Just wish the camera wasn't warping the image so much. The buildings looks like they were bobbing and swaying whenever he moved. If I didn't have a stronger constitution...🤢
Heck, my constitution is so bad, I nearly barfed all over my Declaration of Independence watching this one! O.o

So, the net effect is it will look more streamlined/stealthy in fighter form, but things like the torso, arms and legs will be more complex with lots of concave, convex, hollow, and otherwise uneven surfaces. Not to mention gangly arms with a smaller head...
In other words: they're designing valks to look like Callista Flockhart in Battroid mode?

Is it one of those HG Masterpiece Veritechs?
Probably...fresh from the clearance rack at your local dollar store.
