What the???? Noel I've NEVER seen this kit Noel so I'm not even sure it was ever released. I tend to think it wasn't as I think I'd have seen one by now but you never know. But please feel free to keep your eyes open. If you EVER see one be sure to let me know. Carl

I do think that puts him in a very small group. I think only 600 Ultimate Strikes were made. I know Shawn himself has ATLEAST two original in addition to some recasts. I sort of have two originals. Both are here: The kit on the top left is the same kit without the fast pack parts and was a limited Wonder Fest release. There was an ad for it here: http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/ads/ads_models_c3.htm Hmmm... anyone here ever seen that Club-M 12800 yen ride armor kit? Now that is a kit I'd sure like to know a little more about. I'm very very impressed. Carl

Very nice. But I think my mind is in the gutter today. I'm looking at this pic: And the first question that came to my mind is... "Is that cleavage I see in the upper left?" I guess I'm not myself today. LOL!!! Carl

Sorry... ran out of letters I could use for the topic description. Just wanting to share, Carl Blue Angels Pilot Safe After Crash PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) - A Blue Angels pilot safely ejected before his jet crashed into the Gulf of Mexico during a training flight Wednesday, a spokesman for the Navy precision flying team said. The F/A-18 Hornet went down about a mile off Perdido Key, a barrier island on the Florida-Alabama border, and 10 miles from Pensacola Naval Air Station, where the Blue Angels are headquartered. A rescue team pulled the pilot from the 62-degree water about 10 minutes after the crash. His identity was being withheld pending notification of his family, Blue Angels spokesman Lt. Garrett Kasper said. He was released from the hospital after several hours of observation. The cause of the crash was under investigation. ``We know he had experienced some mechanical difficulties with the aircraft that made it unable for him to return to Pensacola Naval Air Station and he was forced to out-of-control eject over the Gulf,'' Kasper said. Recovery efforts for the $18 million jet were expected to begin Thursday. ``We saw him lose power, and he slowly coasted down,'' Paul Gordon, a Montgomery, Ala., roofer told WPMI-TV in Mobile, Ala. The last crash involving a Blue Angels jet ended in the deaths of two pilots in October 1999. 12/02/04 01:31 © Copyright The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Great work guys. I love the Legioss and Tread Neptunesurvey. But I have a question... What is the Star Wars Magnas? I'm a Star Wars fan but I think that one slipped by me. Carl

Congratulations... I wish both he and you many happy and healthy years ahead, Carl

Too funny... By the way, I saw the original Land of the Lost the other day at WalMart. I loved that series as a kid and was thinking about picking it up but stories like this have me a bit worried. Anyone know if they butchered that job too? Carl

Actually no. I'd love to get my hands on the Kubricks Tank but to be honest I've been having enough fun playing with my CGI models to really look all that hard for it. I've never seen one in person. If I had ever passed one in a store I'm sure I would have picked it up. I'm sure eBay probably has them all the time but I generally don't go there unless I have to. Anyone here have a spare set they aren't asking too much for? Carl

Here are a couple new renders... This one is called "More Power" And this one is called "A Shot in the Dark" Enjoy, Carl

One lets you build the kit without the fast pack. The other has a couple extra guns, detailed up hands, and a couple other detailed up parts. Look at the pictures of the box covers and you should be able to tell what you'd be getting. Carl

Beat me to the bunch. I was just about to point that out myself. You can see pictures of them here: http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/models/b-club/b-club.htm Enjoy, Carl

The Club-M kit comes with parts so you can built it in gerwalk mode if you want to. The Musasiya kit doesn't. And tecnically these aren't the same subject. The Club-M kit is a VF-4G were as the Musasiya is a VF-4. I'm not sure what the difference is exactly but someone here can probably clue us in. Personally I really like the Musasiya but the Club-M is a very nice kit too. I don't really care for the Retppu kit. Just my 2 cents, Carl

I'm calling this one "Dawn of a New Game". Enjoy, Carl

Oh... I wish I had the skill. Maybe someday. Carl

As clock speeds just kept getting faster something had to give. Enjoy, Carl

Thank you so much. Here is what I came up with. Its the average of 16 frames about like my first one except with the cycles moved by a very small amout between frames. What do you think? Enjoy, Carl

I think you hit the nail on the head. That sounds very very familiar. They were jumped and I don't remember seeing the attacker. Do you have that teaser trailer or have any idea where I could find it? Thank you so much guys, Carl

Thanks for the input guys. The particular sequence I'm thinking of wasn't in the game per say. It was a movie file released before the game. It was probably made up of footage that was later used in the game though. It ended with the name of the game getting flashed across the screen followed by "coming soon" or a release date. I'm not really after the game but that movie file but if I can't find that and there is a way to pull those sequences out of the game I'd be interested in seeing that too. I just wasn't sure where to start looking. Thanks, Carl

In conversation recently a topic came up that I haven't thought much about recently. I've always been a big fan of the B-Wing design and I remember a teaser short that was released in advance of a new Star Was PC game coming out. This was about 10 years ago. I loved that little short and saved it. I have no idea where it is now. As I recall it showed the wing rotating around the cockpit of a B-Wing while I think another B-Wing was shot out of the sky in the back ground. There was a detailed pilot and cockpit on the foreground. I think there was also a B-Wing landing sequence in there somewhere. Anyone out there remember that little teaser short or the game that it was tied to? I didn't have much time for games then and still don't now but I'd like to try and track down that short again. Thanks, Carl

I just took a quick peak here: http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://halfeye.m78.com/ It has some of the pics but most don't seem to come up. There are some of the smaller pics of the VF-11 here that still come up but the larger copies seem to be gone. http://web.archive.org/web/20011212022640/.../vf11/vf11.html If you find any of the larger ones digging let me know, Carl

Is that picture off the kit? It looks like one saved from SHE's web page to me. I know SHE used to have a ton of nice Macross Pictures like that on his web page that you could click on to get larger copies. He took them down quite some time ago though. I had saved them all but lost access to that PC when I lost my job with TI. I don't think I have them any more. I'll try to check the kit this weekend but if anyone else out that has copies of the Macross pics from SHE's web site I too would be interested. Thanks, Carl

I got all mine as they came out so I don't think I have any of the 'Thanks Campaign' re-release versions. I was expecting them to be identical as all the SHE kits I've seen are top notch quality. As rkiyo pointed out there apparently were some differences but I've never really heard anyone say the quality was better or worse for the re-releases. Carl

I found the original file. I made the wall and tails longer, moved the camera and turned off the transparency so it would render in a reasonable time. I probably should have moved some of the light sources too but I haven't yet. Let me know what you think of this: Carl

Thanks... As for a sequel, I know the people behind the original want to do one and some pre-production artwork has been made. However its not very clear what Disney has planned at the moment. You might find some more here: http://www.tron-sector.com/forums/default.aspx?do=frm&id=140 Carl

His name is Jay Maynard. Are they calling him Miltron? I don't watch the Jimmy Kimmel Show. Carl
