If you were a crew chief in the Macross universe.......
DewPoint replied to cheemingwan1234's topic in Movies and TV Series
Yeah, lots of engineers and designers do not give enough though to access for maintenance. It is getting better, but it depends on the item. You may have awesome product, but it takes way too long to turn around it really does you no good. If 60% of the fleet is in various stages of maintenance, you only have 40% of your fleet available and lots of maintenance staff tied up. So this is a bit morbid, but I recently watched a documentary where they interviewed people that worked salvage and repair of WW2 Sherman Tanks. They have high rates of PTSD. You don't think about having to remove the bodies and body parts and clean out the tank to rebuild or strip for parts. Thus I will crew chief whatever Ghost fighter/drone of the current era. I have a extremely difficult time unseeing things. I will dislike being the crew chief on any mainline fighter. -
Well, I've never been a fan of doom and gloom, but I really hope that Bandai is really just trying to get Macross fans to spend money on their DX line. I really don't know if the non-Macross HMR products sell better, worse or just as well. Only time will tell if Bandai returns to HMR Macross. I can't see any reason for them not to. To me, HMR is the more fun to handle and playable line.

So some time later we will get Hi-Metal Double R or Hi-Metal S?

I've watched the original Japanese version of it. My curiosity got the better of me. I've not tried to see what Robotech has done to that. It really wants to be Flashback 2021, but it is clearly not. I didn't care for it for whatever reason.

If you didn't already stumble upon this article on your own research, I found this as an interesting read: A Look into the Yellowing and Deyellowing of ABS Plastics

I'm just curious and its always good to know for future reference. Since sqidd has already applied CA glue to the break, does he need to completely remove the CA glue before applying a new glue?

What Current Anime Are You Watching Version v4.0
DewPoint replied to wolfx's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
No joke. We'll see how far season 2 takes us whenever it finally airs. -
If you want to go the vintage clip-on route UN_MARINE had a project he started back in February. I'm not sure how far he got with it.

I got the same email from CDJapan. But when I try to change the shipping option for my Legioss Eta, I only get options for DHL and FedEx Priority for over $60.00 USD. Non-Registered Airmail is nowhere to be seen.

What Current Anime Are You Watching Version v4.0
DewPoint replied to wolfx's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I re-watched Made in Abyss in preparation to watching the movie. Its been three years, I vaguely remember things. I haven't started watching anything new this season other than Mahouka. I'm kinda waiting for the initial impressions before diving in. -
In 2017 I paid $10.53 for the 3 pack from Amazon. In 2019 I paid $9.99 for the 2 pack from Amazon. I haven't been able to find the Trident stand for a decent price yet, but I haven't been looking lately. Prices in Amazon can vary wildly, Keep an eye on it and you may be able to save a bit. Keepa is a good site to check current and historical prices on Amazon.com items.

Holy crap! I just googled Space Gan Dam and it turned up "Space Gundam V" as a real show that aired in South Korea. I'm not sure if I want to hunt this down.

Does this lead us to "why does it come with landing gears?" Was it even shown in the movie with landing gears? Because I don't remember landing gears. I've watched DYRL like 5 time or so I think. As far as color: In my head it should be safety orange. Safety Orange is always the correct color!

The asking price of the Valkyrie Factory KOs appears to be trending up. Unless you can find one at a steal, it seems to be getting to the point where you may as well get the Yamato or Arcadia for not significantly more. And from more reliable sources.

My HMR VF-4G by way of Unregistered Mail form Nippon Yasan still hasn't moved. At this point I'll be trying to break the VF-31A shipping delay record! My Legioss Eta isn't moving either. That one is also on Unregistered Mail but from CDJapan. I didn't feel like paying 3000 yen more to upgrade to DHL. This lull in shipping is curbing my need to grow my collection. Maybe that's a good thing?

One day we'll all find out that it is the plastic interacting with neutrinos and there us absolutely nothing we can do about it. That or it proves the existence of dark matter.

So I wanted to talk a bit about your light meter. When talking about specs, the wording becomes very important. +/- 4% is of the full range. Thus your light meter is +/- 119.96 and varies an additional whatever your right most digit resolution is. So all your values are basically in the weeds as your readings are guaranteed to be +/- 121 µW/cm2. Its tech, so you get what you pay for. How accurate you really need something is another question. Its not medical or aerospace equipment, so most likely good enough. As far as some LEDs go, some manufactures use a blue LED and a yellow phosphor to give you the color of light you are interested in. The blue light will have a spectrum as well as the phosphor itself. This may be why you are getting UV reading from your LEDs. You may have to look more closely at the manufacturer of the bulbs/light strips and type of LEDs used.

Well, since they are still in the prototype stage, perhaps they should try to make sure that it will be compatible with the upcoming Kits Concept 1/12 Dana. Unless, of course, they are planning to release their own figure.

I don't know about lizards, but goldfish totally do!

Kakizaki was a "A" ranked recruit just like Max. He just wasn't better than Milia.

You need all 6! You know why...

Not surprising as many already know that fluorescent bulbs are just UV bulbs with a white phosphor coating in it. Any break or imperfection in the coating will leak UV out. I've read that CFL are especially bad in this regard.

My Armored VF-1J arrived today from amiami by way of DHL. It spent 5 days in shipping. I'll probably get it armored up this weekend. I'm actually fine with the non-gray visor as I don't have Hikaru VF-1J. As I missed the Yamato era, I decided to stick with Arcadia releases. I just need a CF VF-1A now. And maybe a VT-1. And a Max VF-1S.

Because they solved the age related boob sag issue in the future?
