big F

I was going to post about the lawn mower there was someone local to me who had one that flew a while ago he also built a pig. Technically Penguins do fly only under water. They employ the same method as airborne birds do such as wing shapes and tail steering etc, hydrodynamics is similar only the water is more dense. During the Falklands war the RAF broke quite a few Harriers doing a Gerwalk style stop maneuver whist fighting the Argentinian Mirages. They would get the Mirage behind them and then pull up and give it full vectored reverse and basically come to a complete stop and then target the Mirage. My old Boss was in the RAF at the time and worked on the Harriers he said that many of them came back with torsional stress damage due to this particular maneuver. I guess if it was the Zentradi forces wouldn't have had to glass the planet just kill a few Valks and let the populous die off According to physics the Bumble bee cant fly, I guess nobody told them yet.

Great article also worth looking at some of the links from it to the likes of Darthmojos site.

I see the potential for Yellowed Jetfire spares prices to go up on eBay :{

Since the fixed pose 1/48 hands also fit the 1/55 Chunkies (obviously modded ones) too so maybe you should angle it toward them too. I'd be up for a set or two.

Although they are 1/144 those pictures of the monsters body in your hand just show how damed big this beast is. a 1/144 scale valk is tiny at that scale.

Thankfully we don't get Termites in the U.K as I live in a timber framed house. The only problems we can get is woodlice in damp areas they love damp rotting wood and are also quite fond of damp cardboard. All my stuff is kept in sealed plastic boxes in the attic which is heated and very very well insulated. That said all the boxes have desiccant pouches in just in case. Some of my stuff is further protected by being in vac-sealed bags, you can never be too careful.

WOW. Oddly I saw the Thunderbirds Tracy island toy set yesterday and thought why has no one ever made a Macross island set. great work

Payment sent Also Im almost done restoring the missing pages for the SM forums for you

I have bought a recast or two in my time and apart from my Vf-4 and the 1/55 bits they have all been fairly meh!! I got one figure to build because I already had one boxed and wasn't about to pay the ridiculous amount wanted for another just so I could have one built. the recast has loads of holes in it and voids and even some miss cast bits. so all in all i saved some £$ but cost myself several hours in build time. I always look twice now to check that purchases are not recasts.

That backs up the article I have. Interestingly my brother came across the Patent for Megatron some years ago while checking through patents for something his company was working on. The key words he used to search out similar patents brought him up. I have the print outs some where.

I have two 1/55's I got off the bay some time ago and they are painted with some unknown paint its really thick and oven cleaner only makes it go rubbery for a while, where as Brake fluid makes it lift off nicely. I havent got to doing these fully yet but the tested bits came out ok the fluid can be used more that once but make sure its sealed up in a water and air tight container as its Hydroscopic and will leach moisture into it and turn all yucky. Also when it comes to disposal you need to take it to the local dump as you can t just flush it down the drain.

Cool as ever.

More like Macrossu Stacy san

Brake fluid works just make sure you wash the parts thoroughly after though.

Well I got one less yellowed than that for £5 minus the box. Mint for me would mean got with a time machine and brought back from 1984 yeasterday.

Looks dirty and used, the only way military stuff should be.

Well with the people i work with all the seedy bars etc are compulsary on nights out.

Well I'm glad there is some potential Macross action in Amsterdam as I am there from the 4th of Sept for a week or so for the IBC as the company I work for is exhibiting, so although my schedule is very busy I'm hoping for enough down time to do a little looking around

Welcome to the world of Chunkies

Well the longer it sits on the bench the better as CGI will have moved on and we are less likley to get a film with Shadow Cronicles type cgi Im sure Warners have got someone like ILM linned up for the job.

LOL Me too. Motivation is what we need

Interesting thread. I have a transformers book which has a whole section on Diaclone and a page on Kawamori sanalthough I have translated only tiny bits of this page it does have a picture of a Taka Roy with FPs and Shockwave and Omega Supreme. so maybe he did have something to do wiht it.

I think it is only for the wet paint. quite a few paints have that stated on the can for when its wet. The really nasty ones have all been banned for many many years now.

Looks like a fun thing to do cant wait to see how it turns out
