  1. aargh, its not working for me
  2. wow, very nice YF-21, an shots of the underside, is it transformable or strictly fighter mode right now?
  3. Finally the new 1:48 main hanger, notice all clean now: (Yes buddhafabio that is the BBI Extreme Detail 1:18 scale apache, I am seriously tempted to get their 1:18 scale hornet and viper when they come out. If they ever make an A-10 or MiG-29 I will be all over those.)
  4. Another shot of the file cabinet showing the awards scarf from the place I used to work, I find it an appropiate spot for it to be displayed.
  5. Ok, the rest of the collection is at work. Here is the collection post clean up. First off the Low-Vis alongside my helmet that has YF-19 silohette on the back. I will add another 1:48 aircraft to the other side some day, maybe a VF-1D is Yamato ever makes one. Either that or maybe one of those Armour Die Cast 1:48 MiG-29s.
  6. The 1:60 single seaters, all the two seaters are at work, will take pics of them tomorrow. And, in the back Misa appears to be having an affair with wedge, and he's not even the same scale, lol.
  7. Oh man I am so embaressed by the dust on my mac-7 toys, I won't show my Mac-Plus' they crashed pretty hard a month back, and well, they are back in their boxes permanently.
  8. Anither shot of the 1:48s, please forgive the dust.
  9. Some pics of my collection before the great clean up of 5 July 2004, the dust was cleaned up, and many of the craft put back into inactive storage. Tomorrow I will take pics of the ones at my deck. First off the 1:48s in various stages of transformation. Man I love my new digi-cam
  10. Interesting, but whatever point he had was lost in his rants. I agree that not all anime is what people make it out to be, and most of what shows up on US television tends to be the lower quality garbage, so I can see where he is coming from. BUt sheesh man buy a freaking theseraus and expand the old vocabulary. I'd rather hear a Dennis Miller style rant then that guy, at least then it would be intelligent and funny.
  11. Man where ahve you been, that pic is awesome by the way. Everyone thought you dropped off the face of the planet or something. Is your website back up, I know a lot of people have been asking about the milcomnet lately?
  12. lol, yeah lets see how far HG pushes the boundaries. And wow, look how much the SDF-3 has been modified over the years.
  13. YOu have got to be kidding me I thought Tatsunoko had nothing to do with DYRL. Oh man this is going to suck so hard, unless HG has a major change in management and pulls their heads out of their tails. I hope to get a full report on this after the Expo, come on Egan how come you didn't know? Or is HG just blowing smoke?
  14. I think seeing man-faye being thrown out might be soemthing people here wouldn't mind seeing.
  15. Technically there is only one starship troopers book written by Heinlein. There are at least two other books I have seen written by other authors that are "in the world of starship troopers." One is a side story or possibly a sequel and the other is a pick a path book. I have not read either one and heard that they are both pretty forgetable.
  16. The sidearms is on the top of the second page, as for the holsters, um, think something like Han Solo's.
  17. Time for the big boys toys. This is Big Red, well the start of it anyway, still needs a lot of detailing work and the design is by far not locked down yet. Big Red started out as the main plasma injector of the PLASER cannon off a wrecked fighter. The character originally just strapped it to his arm and hooked it up the reserve plasma tank, a power cell and the control stick out of the fighter. The weapon was redesigned and rebuilt later using the frame of an old heavy man portable PLASER Cannon, as well as parts from a Heavy Repeating Plaser. Some design details, the upper handle is the throttle off of the destroyed fighter, I'm still thinking of using the fighter stick for the main handle, but that may not fly. The right side magazine is off an HRP, and is onyl used to hold the plasma and energy reserve. At full power it can only fire between four and five shots before having to recharge. The cylinder on the left side has the main hook up for the back pack that contains the main plasma tank and energy cell. The small vents on the front of the magazine and intake cylinder are hydrogen intakes, allows it to process extra hydrogen for plasma ammo in case of emergency, they also act as emergency gas vents in case of overload. They are hard to see but it has loops for a carry strap on it. The screen is hooked up to the scope, or at least will be, to act as back up in case the in helmet reticle fails. Oh, and the structure on the bottom of the main box is the de-grav generator which makes the weapon much lighter then it normally would be and therefore much more managable. I still need to add some more heat sinks and details, any comments, or suggestions?
  18. It is probably some kind of combination chaff/flare. IIRC Isamu and Guld hold off on firing missiles for most of the fight with the X-9. Now it is possible that they already expended all their missiles, but I doubt that. Chaff and other similar jamming/spoofing systems can stay in the air for a long time. It is nto uncommon, or at least wasn't in 70's and 80's to see C-130s peppering an area with chaff and flare before fighters and attackers move in for a strike. It is possible with OT that they have developed a more advanced chaff/flare system that hangs in the atmosphere for a long time defeating missile use and forcing the use of guns. This makes sense for the ghost as its design favors high speed slashing attacks, the best defense against which would be a missile barrage. I know some of you will regard this as a form of Minovksy particle making its way into macross, but really it is much more plausible then the magic minovsky particles. Actually something like this isn't that far off, the countermeasure launchers on some ships now launch a slow drop chaff/flare in order to spoof or prematurely detonate incoming ASMs.
  19. We all want those Starship Troopers Animes, but no one can find them. As for other movies that are going to rape a great book, how about the upcoming crapfest that will be I Robot?
  20. very sweet, I just don't why you used the picture where I had to bend over and grab my drink, lol
  21. Must have more pics of hot nipply chick, she have a website?
  22. How about more of the chick from the top of this page, she is fine as all get out.
  23. Hot damn I want that german mama.
  24. My problem with the current line of transformers, other then the Binaltechs is that they look like garbage in any mode you have them in. At least the older, G1 line would at least look pretty good in vehicle mode, same with the old Go-Bots. Heck I would take the old Gobots over these current T-formers, limited articulation aside.
  25. Hmm, really haven't worked on that, naming them that is. I still need to give them designations and name them, any suggestions?
