Well the publisher who requested the additional pages wrote me back, a little bummed right now, so will let their words talk for me: Oh well, the beginning of the book is not the best written and I have been toying around with rewriting it. However, I have still not heard back from a couple publishers including my first choice, who all recieved the whole book, so I am not totally bummed yet. But if they reject me I will just go to plan B, rewrite the beginning and start submitting short stories for a year before resubmitting with the new beginning. Well appreciate all your support, always knew it would be a painful process, but as the song goes "I will survive!"

Wow, Chris, I thought you dropped off the face of the earth, and thanks for the compliment. Yes before anyone asks I am still using AUTOCAD, even I'm surprised how nice they came out in it.

I know a few air musuems that would love to get their hands on that Hornet and Fulcrum, if they did I would have to go back there all the time, especially the Fulcrum.

This was a semi-request by EXO, the standard sidearm, I actually did this one before the rifle, still needs to be detailed, but liked the render. The reason for the large unit under the barrel is that it is the Plasma tank, holds enough Plasma for ten energy magazines. Well let me know what you think.

Now the other side.

Here a couple images of the new PLASER SMG, I've put some more details into it, but I still feel like its missing something, no idea what though. For a sense of scale I've rendered it with the larger rifle. Let me know what you think, still have to figure out what it's missing.

It is still needs a lot detail work done, but here is the basic body of my next rifle. Basically an SMG in scale it is the little brother of the larger rifle I designed, strictly a PLASER rifle it's the MP-5/P-90 of my main troops.

The forward cocking lever on the left side is for the Mass Driver, AKA rail gun, It chambers the first round and is used for clearing jams, etc... The rear cocking lever on the left side is for priming the PLASER Magazine, clears and hooks up the power connections and the plasma shunt. As I've said before there is a method to my madness.

Thanks Gonzo, it is still a work in progress at this point and the PLAMSA LASER barrel is going to be changed a bit. As for the ammo ejection port, that was becuase of how I am currentlt envisioning the power source. I had three ideas for that, power source in the gun, power source in the magazine, or power source attached to the round. The rifle here is using the third option. Each round comes attached to a power cell that is flash drained for each firing, then the spent cell is ejected. This arrangement actually is a good idea thermally as the power cell would be very hot after firing, so instead of having the magazine heat up as you fire, the hot power cell is just disposed of. True it isn't very environmentally friendly, but the magazine is more easily reloaded and reused. So there is a method to my madness. Also, it makes sense to have the ejection port just in case you have to clear a jam. Terrance, thanks for the compliment, haven't seen you for a while. Yes it does bear a striking resemblance to the XM-8, I hadn't seen it in a while though, hmmm, maybe I can equip the GF with updated versions of it, lol.

Is it just me or does the boat module look like a combination of the Yamato and the Macross?

Is it just me or does that strike cannon look way too much like the one off the 15th anniversary figures? Man I hope BW jumps in both feet first on this one, this is the kind of thing that can shut HG down, breaking international copyright law can get you in some serious $h!#. Then again I almost, almost, hope that BW and HG came to an agreement and with HG just taking a little off the top we will get real macross merchandise here in the states, like DVDs, toys, models, etc... If HG was smart and such an offer was laid out they would be stupid not to take it. I would have no problem with that really, unless they had the idiots who did the voices for robogarbage do the dubs on any region 1 DVDs, *shiver* makes me glad I always watch the sub.

Holy Shreg Mechmaster, that is one sweet scene, what package do you use again?

Last one, shipboard security guard colors (proposed):

Ok time for the two funky color schemes first: chromed honor gaurd style:

De-milled Hunter styling, well not really but the colors are.

Desert Style:

Winter coloring.

The UK style, for some reason all the pics of the british main assault rifle I've seen have the covering parts an olive drab.

Now some alternate styles, based on real world weapons. First off the AK wood coverings style.

A camoflagued version, two different camo patterns present, was having fun.

The opposite side, the Mass Drive power case ejector and PLASER activation lever are clearly evident on this side. All it really needs now is some detail work, etchings, and strap mounts.

No, it's not what you think. These are the designs I've been working on for a new rifle for my characters to use. I've been working on it for about two-three days now on and off. It is roughly based on design I saw online, which was a cobbling together of different modern day assault rifles. This is a dual nature weapon, with a Plasma LASER rifle combined with a slug thrower, ideal for use against unknown capability hostiles. The PLASER is the barrel on top. Well let me know what you guys think. I think it came out pretty well. I also did a few alternate color schemes, some are realistic, some off the wall, was just having fun. First off the regular colors I've used for development.

Yes, reaction weapons are in fact nukes, which is probably one of the main reasons why Macross is not as popular in Japan as Gundam. I say this because rarely if ever in Gundam do you hear about nukes and even then they are usually used only by the bad guys or as a last resort by the good guys. However, in Macross the good guys quite liberally use the Reaction Warheads, Nukes, even in the first episode the initial attack by the UN Spacy is made using RWs. The primary anti-capital ship weapon is also an RW and the UN Spacy has no real compunctions against using it them in SW1. Afterwards there are hints that they are no longer used as liberally, yet they are still kept active in the arsenals.

Sorry, not a looser I prefer real women and would rather date my girlfriend.

A/F-117X, F-117C Intakes, man I must not pay enough attention to that POS, any source photos to help?
