  1. Yeah, the bit of the VF-5 sounds like 50s fighter lifespan, when we were throwing everything at the wall to see what would work. The VF-5 as a budget VF probably used inferior materials and more "off the shelf" components to try and get more mass produced VFs out there faster for all the various fleets. IIRC wasn't also the only single engine VF? It is likely that this left the fighter underpowered and unable to keep up. All of that taken into account, the short service life makes sense. Still curious what it looked like.
  2. Still pretty cool.
  3. It was actually a really nice design. A real successor to the A-7/F-8. It reminds me again why the JSF should have been a tech-dev/demo platform that lead to multiple aircraft
  4. Wait are those fully variable 1:48 ride armors?
  5. Thank you
  6. Where is the best place to order these? I am way behind on them, and sellers I'm finding either gouge on price or shipping.
  7. I'm assuming that as well, just curious as to the source since it is shows so many technical details (though there are some serious inaccuracies in the design).
  8. Spotted these on FB today, anyone know where they came from? Looks like it is from some animation.
  9. Simply gorgeous, and in it's naked state, you can see how HG was able to combine Macross and Mospeada in RT. The ship looks like a melding of Zentran and Human designs.
  10. It is a great, fun, no brainer kind of movie. One of my favorite dragon movies. My biggest beef with it, the poster promised me Apaches vs Dragons: Hellfires vs Dragonfire. That I wanted to see so bad.
  11. Amazing Build, scratch, or 3D printed? How big is it? It seems just a little short.
  12. Is it the stuff that guy was selling in the FB Filament Deals group? He got like 1000 rolls of it or some such, I bought a couple rolls, but haven't tried them yet as my printers are waiting for me to install some upgrades, I've just been too busy.
  13. Still impressive, but what filament was the grey garbage?
  14. I picked up a Hikaru off a guy in Phoenix for dirt cheap.
  15. A true master of concept art and design.
  16. I'm trying to decide what they're advertising that it fits 1:60 MACROSS toys means in the greater sense, especially after the their Macross-Zero F-14 slap down from BW. Are they thumbing their nose at BW or HG?
  17. I would kill for a 1:48 2-seater.
  18. I go along with something like this. Foundling Mandalorians follow the ancient ways where the helmets are never removed except around those of their own clan. Those born on Mandalore do remove their helmets, as they are born into the warrior culture. It could also be that after the purge the majority of Mandos reverted back to the old ways in a gambit to maintain and reinforce their cultural identity. More progressive Mandos, like Sabine's clan, are the "Reformed Mandos" who are ok with removing their helmets when in polite company, or to conceal their identity as necessary.
  19. Could they have meant earlier, pre-Space War 1 models? Or, are there strictly atmospheric models to which that engine system could have been applied?
  20. Dang, that hand is amazing. Great work.
  21. That article was hilarious, as if Robotech still had a fandom, let along one that is disappointed with the disappearance of a crap comic. Let's face it, I think we're the only ones reading it for the comedy value, and few, if any, of us are paying for it.
  22. Not painted yet, looks like that is the raw print assembled.
  23. I am the writer/creator of the Spiral War series of novels and all of their ancillary media. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075VBR8PB?ref_=dbs_dp_rwt_sb&binding=kindle_edition
  24. I wonder if Tim suggested this, as he is a Macross fan.
  25. Interesting that the Cobra Trooper and Beachhead both are armed with Nerf Guns. I wonder if they plan a future tie in.
