    No no, it is pronounced Zathras, hear the difference?

    As for the multiverse thing, B5 never really had that (it had time travel but it was a closed loop for the most part) but I will give it a watch.

    Dude, that is offensive, it is pronounced Zathras.  You're placing the emphasis wrong.

    For those that are curious, here is a comparison of the current ( one that was actually 3D printed on the right ) vs. the future ( corrected proportions on the left ) SDF-1 Models. I will print only the parts that were revised, but it's still about 14 parts. It will add probably about 4-5 inches in overall height.image.jpeg.7bc7450ed8e7fc28a5ef0723d11879a8.jpeg

    Subtle improvements but have great impact on the design.  Great work.

    My friend, you have the right mindset. I can probably print a pair a main guns that have the ends burnt off. That would be great fun. My only problem is that I need more room to display it in it's lake setting...I need to get a bigger house!

    You just need a kiddie pool and traps for around the edges.  Then some strings for the guy wires and plastic platter for the stage.  Some forced perspective with a YF-19 and you can recreate an amazing scene.

    Hold on...just hold on
    Max was 95 or something in the last Frontier whatever WWM release right? 

    Now he is in preschool for this release? Someone please work out the timeline.
    Or is it Max's Father's VF-0D...
    Or as stated above, Max is a vintage collector (we saw he had his own Cobra from the M3 game painted blue) and does valks as well

    soooooo weird these releases! LOL

    I like the idea that "retired" Max collects Valkyries, like his own CAF.  And, of course, he paints them all blue.

    In the Macross M3 opening, the arms seem to end in some kind of small block that attaches to the underside of the aircraft rather than a large clamp.

     

    For what it's worth, the ARMD-class has never been depicted using a conventional carrier deck setup.  Exactly what the purpose of the markings on their upper surfaces are is unclear, esp. given that they carry over to the later Guantanamo-class Advanced ARMD.  The only ship of that earlier period we know of using artificial gravity and arresting wires to recover fighters and conventional catapults to launch them is the Prometheus.

    Not surprising it might have larger bays, since the ship would doubtless have larger auxiliary craft in addition to fighters.

    I'd say that given SDF's ability to operate in atmosphere, that the "decks" on the ARMDs and later Gitmos were primarily intended for usage as decks in atmo.  They could also just be general landing markings for larger craft, like cargo transports, troop carriers, etc...  There are likely airlocks and or elevators on or near those circles for the transfer or cargo and larger craft.  Those angled lines might also be "Traditional" catapults for older VF-1s, and other larger or auxiliary craft.
