I dunno, I feel like my Alexa is just a few rogue upgrades from locking my doors and cooking me in the night with my thermostat.

We are all one step away from it all getting way to much like eaither the matrix or mega zone 23. AI idols are only round the corner.

Just came across this thread, wow is about all I can say.

I wish I had the 3d skills needed and I would have a way of making all the parts and figures I have always needed.

Nice, its easy to forget how small these actually are. Great work, I love the high detail stuff like the Chara works Valks, this is great cant wait to see it finished with suitably small decals.

Looks like a great tool, did you read the instructions posted on some of the ebay auctions, they look like they got put through google translate twice.

So I kinda have two here, in the UK there is a cartoon on one of the kids channels that have planes that transform into Gerwalks, its kind of a cross between the cartoon movie Planes and Macross. Cant remember its name though. 

I really hope that come the 29th of March we can post that Macross appears in the Film Ready Player One. Its in the book of the same, mentioned as both Robotech and Macross, and features in the end battle

Its just one of the traditional things, that has stuck. I read somewhere that the original scaling was down to the old Imperial measurement system.

If it were done fresh now adays it would likely be more like 1//10, 1/25, 1/50, 1/75 with a lot of things being built using metric measurement devision is simpler.

 1/10 is in in use in the RC industry it also uses 1/12, the whole thing is a mess,  remember before 1/60 there was 1/55, that was something tried and binned largely.

 I suspect shelf space comes into play nowadays. Smaller scale = more purchases and more money for the vendors.

Im interested to see how you take this on. 

I have this fabulous kit in my collection and some day will actually get round to. Building it.

Are they scaleable ? They are great at that size but I was thining of scaling down to add figures to my planned Macross chess set, I have a few figures already. 

I also wondered about scaling up to see if I can get a 1/72 scale of the zentran power armour.

These look great. Are you planning to print them to sell?

That looks great,  I nearly made a Pc case the same as Sharon a few years ago.

I always thought a Pittie Cola machine would be cool.

Looking forward to seeing what you do with this.

It was one of the Moscato kits I regret not being able to buy at the time.

Count me in please for seated and standing.

Shame is I doubt it will do anything to get imports of Macross to the U.S and Europe going officially. 

Not unless they do a deal with Humungie Gawd any how.

that should get you started. 

Iirc all the molds John  had were sold to various parties so there could be chance of seeing some again.

@captain america did you ever make Destroids? I thought you only ever made Zentraedi mecha and that one human one that I always mistake for a Zentraedi mecha. Unless @big F's reference is just flying way above my head...

Oh yes he did, they are things of greatness.

What are these like compaired to the Captains offerings ?

You need a big cat Zentradi mice are the size of cows.

NICE !!!!

Ha ha ha! OK, my parents wouldn't let me have ANYTHING that resembled a weapon (because they knew me too well). BUT, my glue all over the place models got re-used to add more weapons onto some unsuspecting valkyrie kit or other Robotech kit. Today, EVERYBODY gets involved in model building in this house! (see attached) - MT

I think your space fold drive has gone a bit faulty.

I wish someone would so a 1/72 scale Metran power armor.... Hint Hint!!

Did you  manage to get the standing Zentran Figure that John produced ?

I would love to get my hands on another one, failing that the one for the fighter.

And we built them beautiful back in the 80s, didn't we?  

I never used sandpaper or putty or anything. Just Xacto Knife and nasty Testors glue spilling everywhere. Then after hand painting the model, right out of the bottle without any solvents, I would eventually use it for target practice! 

Minus the target practice, thats exactly it... Come to think of it did you used to live next door to me

The 190 is looking great Herve!

My next two vintage victims came in! I actually had a choice of two "Native Dancers" so I picked the cheaper one with a dirty box. Mandarake is SO cool to shop on! I built both models when I was a LOT younger! I forgot how advanced the Ironfoot kit is complete with various shaped PC parts for articulation and several cool details like a full cockpit and all the missiles being separate and removable. I'm thinking of lighting the "headlights" and cockpit. Did anyone every use the TINY lead tube of glue that came with these things - MT

I had an Iron foot back in the day. Back in 85 the local toy shop had all the Imai Macross kits and the Revel Rowboat heck ones. Along with all these. We just lapped them up, paper boy money spent as soon as we got it. 

Fyi the glue tubes were nasty then so 30 year later I cant see that they are like wine and have improved.
