Why the conditions That's like saying Ranka is the best as long as the others stay in the hanger If the Ghost can't handle the heat stay out of the jet wash

If you do a search I think you'll find a few topics already covering this that have quite a few good spots listed.

Gee haven't had one of these polls for almost a week now

I thought the Imai kit was 1/5000 so as far as larger scale kits are concerned there are none that I am aware of for the TV version so the DYRL variant is leading 2-0. Justiciar, I hope my response didn't seem to harsh but as I already have both Yellow Sub DYRL kits I really would like to see a TV version. I feel the TV version has more character than the DYRL version. In the end it's up to you as it is a labour of love so don't go making something you don't like and as I'm a sucker for big resin kits I'll probably buy one no matter what it is

I'd definitely be interested in a TV version. If you go the ARMD route then you can count me out. The DRYL version has been done to death. About time the "real" version was shown some love.

Thanks. MechCommander 2 didn't have variants as such apart from some of the personalised mechs that some of the characters had and some of the elite units you ran into from time to time. As long as you had the space and the heat sinks you could pretty much slap whatever you wanted on the mechs which isn't bad in a way but it's still nice to struggle with a traditional load out one and a while instead of having all the bells and whistles. I used to love having all the mechs armed with Clan ERPPC's and firing them all at once at some poor unsuspecting light mech. 99% of the time it just turned into a hole in the ground instantly and if you crank up the sound, that crackling zap of 15+ PPCs was fantastic

Interested to know what variant that was as it doesn't show up in any of the record sheets or TRO's I've got or HMP. Some out of cockpit action such as anti-mech infantry A-la Ramage's squads from Grey Death Legion would be nice as would vehicles such as hovers & armour. I'm glad it's in 1st person as I really hated the 3rd person games on (po)X-box.

But they did Wolf's Dragoons anyone? At around the time the game is set they are working for the FWL but had just finished working for the Davions a few years earlier, so a bit of Star League/Clantech might show up in the Davion forces.

I'd say so as the site hasn't been updated in a while.

Just hope the game is more accurate to the date they show at the start than the intro clip is. Atlas - C is a 3060 era mech and Warhammers or any other mech for that matter don't have recon probes. The pulse laser comment before would only be applicable if they decide to use Star League designs as IS mechs didn't start using them again until after 3050. Another point of fluff vs game play would be the targeting of individual areas as suggested by the comments of why didn't they shoot them in the legs. Targeting computers did not become available until after 3050 (except for some Star League variants) so accurately hitting a specfic location on the move would be more good luck than good shooting. Hopefully not too much fluff will be lost to game play but I doubt it as they will want to attract as wide an audiance as possible and for that fluff needs to suffer Whilst it's nice to be able to customise your mech you have to remember that IS mechs of this era are of fixed desighns and not omni-mechs but I would say that's one area that will not stay fluffy as they've done the customising thing in Mech 3 & 4. Bit of a bummer it's X-Box exclusive . Let's hope they see reason and make it available for real PC's.

Use the force Luke.

Doesn't the original creator Jordan Weisman (sp?) have the rights to the video game part (mechwarrior). Not sure about the board game (battletech) side though, I think that belongs to InMediaRes. Who really knows because in true Land of The Free style it's hidden under a million different names

Some people are even suggesting this could be for a new movie. I hope it's not as anything in that vein that Hollywood has got it's grubby paws on to has turned out to a WOFTAM.

I'm shocked that a man of your knowledge hasn't suggested this site Pencil board

The foot looks a bit like a Thor or Loki but the cars look a bit out of place. Can only hope. Here's a few more teasers Teaser 2 Teaser 3

I still see you don't get out much. You really should, the real world isn't all that bad.

What's left of my brain cells are being consumed by this Funny red hats Must have cod roe Must wear silly red hat

Lookin' good but just curious to know why you've chosen to do the movie version and not the "real" version

Not a big fan of capital letters eh? It's not hard, just hold down the shift key. I know you can do it because you use () quite a lot

I think it's got something to do with the size of them. I've had it a few times and resizing them to around 1400 pixels seems to work.

Battletech figures are approx 1/285, which is a rough standard for some sci-fi table top games. If you go for the "unseen" original figures you can cover quite a bit of the Macross world. Wasp is a VF1-S battroid Wasp LAM is a VF-1S gerwalk Stinger is a VF1-1A battroid Stinger LAM is a VF-1A gerwalk Crusader is a VF-1A GBP Phoenix Hawk is a VF1-S Super battroid Phoenix Hawk LAM is a VF-1? Strike gerwalk Rifleman is a Defender Archer is a Spartan Warhammer is a Tomahawk Clan Stone Rhino or Behemoth is a Monster (sort of) Marauder is a Glaug The LAMS can be easily converted to fighter mode by leaving off the legs. There are a few more that are loosely based on Valks but the above are pretty much direct copies. In the original advertising for them back in the early 80's they were even shown in Macross colours. The unseens are relatively easy to get hold of in both original and recast. The original Behemoth is probably the hardest with the Marauder next. If you decide to use them make sure they are the "unseen" (lawsuit) versions as the later ones had to be redesigned thanks to our favourite Robotech company.

Is the surface clean? Some of the mold release agents will cause the problem you describe. Wash the item in warm soapy water, rinse well and try again.

I assume by BD you mean Blu-Ray. If so then yes it is and you can BUY it here: CD Japan

If you do a search you'll find heaps of threads that have airbrushes and compressors pretty well covered.

Did John do the adaptor that you used to be able to get from Starship Modeller that turned a Hasegawa VF-1A Battroid into a D?
