big F

The marker thing is a great idea. Thanks for sharing it with us, and good job so far

I like the subtleness of T-shirt 2.

The hasegawa kit is good and does indeed contain enough to kit out two valks with any of the Macross loadouts. IIRC mine cost about £15 in japan it was significantly cheaper although out of stock when ever Im there If you contact Petar he might be able to sort you out a special consignment.

His spark was almost runout and the cube fragment basically re-fuled him. So he was kinda dead, then alive and then sadly dead again. Bad move in my opinion, he is one of the favorite characters from G1. So in the next film will the Bay-ticon off another well regarded Autobot ?

Im hoping they do an outstanding job which leads to Others in this scale and the enevitable garage kit conversions to build Battroids from them. Unless they do them themselves. :)

Ahh another Capt fix. Like all good dealers just giving us enough to stay hooked.

LOL you just need to get both sets

I too was going to say try Petar as his stuff is better than Hasegawa's. Hasegawa do have pilots in the macross weapons set that they make, although unless you actually want the bombs and Missiles etc then your better to just speak to Petar, as it would be far cheaper to get his pack of pilots.

As a game in itself HW 2 Is worth playing, you'll see lots of BSG inspired stuff and it will already have a sort of Macrossy feel when you get your self all capital shipped up and duke it out with the opposition.

Well I guessing you didnt do all that work today.... Looking good so far. I for one will be watching this thread. Congratulations on what you have achived so far.

I located the box in the loft and when Im home again after the week end I will scan it for you in A hi-res.

Looking dam fine so far.

Well You know if you were HWR mkII you would have made and painted two by now

Yes to use the line from another film trilogy that should have only be a one film deal. " There can only be one!!!!"

You so see the start of the combination although the actual finished product so to speak is cut. Soundwave has a mode that still shows his face and it is very G1. I think Grahams little one will be just as excited by this film as the last one.

Well just this min got back fro the first screening. I will try and not be spoilerish so all who actually want to see it fresh can. You can tell the budget was way bigger this time round Well the decepticons are bigger and badder. The fallen is not so nice Megatron is big time pissed and it would apear is a tripple changer. Jet/Tank/Robot. SoundWave has his G1 style face, and I think is voiced by Frank Welker minus the voice synth effect. Nice little hommage to the G1 there. Ravage is soooo cool. I want a movie acurate figure of him. Jetfire is by far the best hes cranky creaky and doesnt really care for the fight, hes been arround waiting for ages imobile and it's got him pissed off. He even has a walking stick which doubles as a handy weapon. The twins are funny and at the same time good. The insecticons are well, insects. The Autobot Icecream van was great, yes you did read that right. There were a few too many shots of Megan Fox in slow mo but thats just me. She has a rival too in this film, but I cant say anymore with out spoiling it. Seeing the constructicons murge for the first time was awesome in much the same way as seeing prime transform for the first time was, in the original film. If you love aircraft and military hardware theres plenty to see I think they had fairly much all of it there from the old stuff to the brand new. Seeing Devastator climb up the Pyramid gave you a real sense of scale. The only problems I had were some of the Decepticons were a little too generic in Robot mode, this was a fault slightly in the first film though, but this time round with so many you hardly get to know its a little hard at times to know whos who. The fights are bigger and more centered on our favorite mecha. There is still the wobble cam thing but this time its more loosly focused to allow you to see more. There is a couple of hommages to Old M.Bay films chucked in to. Also the Obligitory M.Bay slow mo Helicopter shot Arcee was cool the way she combines although a little under used I feel. The Forest fight was good including Starsceam and Prime using whole trees as a clubs. There were a few long bit that I can see the critics would say made it too long a film but IMO they were needed to show the non geek fans what was happening. There is a high human death count but you dont see anything that would make it unsuitable for little ones. There is Mild swearing although this is mainly the sort of cusses your kids will have heard or learnt by the age of 6-7. Anyway a lot of it is via Jetfire and said in a British tounge so some of it will be missed. Megan Fox does use the F word but it is mostly drown out by an explosion. There was a lot of product placements not just the cars but clothing and food, computers phones and such so I expect that some sales will be generated from that. There was a bit too much as Save said of dogs humping although the story doesnt really stall, its just for a cheap laugh point. Robot man spuds, WTF is all I will say there. There will be a third film without a doubt as the plot has several openings for it written in. Overall I liked it and will be getting it on Blu ray the day it comes out. I would say though I would see it again due to my eyes trying too hard to take in the details and keep pace with the story, to enable me to write something usefull here. That and the second time around the story wont matter so much and I'd look for blupers and in jokes and study the detail more. I did see one when a couple of Decepticons re-enter over Paris. The shot which has been shown in the trailer shows the two fire balls comming in, A french guy points and shouts so everyone looks, at that point they seem stationary and then suddenly seem to jump to right over the top of us (viewing) which due to the angel looks a little forced, that and the speed that would be needed to cove that much sky would produce one hell of a shockwave When you see it there are a few bits after the credits start to roll as in the first film. Some of that could have been due to the film jumping as I think they were using the old projectors at the multiplex and not the new all digital ones. Hopefully this is not too revealing for everyone.

That good eh!! I have the anime on DVD. I'll assume that it has gone the same way all live action Anime remakes go then.... Que flushing sound.....

Ohh poop maybe I shouldnt have prebooked my ticket Oh well in three hours I'll know.

Your work is great as always but one thing your pictures show is just how spindly looking the Battroids are on the Vf-25. They are anorexic compared to the Vf-1 and 0

Not sure there is but there should be. What we need is a thread that has all the info regularly updated in thread 1. That way you wouldnt have to troll through everyones comments to find the retailers.

I saw the posters being put up at the local bus stop today for Blood the Vampire Slayer. Didnt get a good look as I was in a rush.

Chances are it will be. they have a lot to live up to, so I guess they will try and go a good job

You can use them for the next figure John does.
