OMG!?!? You just ruined the book for me! D= I had just gotten to where Bilbo entered that long shaft thing... /me cries Thorin... But uh... Well, Roy was really playing that guitar...I saw a C cord.

I wouldn't be surprised if it is at least alluded to at some point. Even the possibility that the SV-51's are somehow involved in the hijacking of the Tsiolkovsky. As to the weapons, it works if the ship is designed for an anti-capital ship mission, since those things are expected to take place at long ranges and every will have plenty of time to manuever into position. But to have a limited amount of armament against smaller craft is just silly, even for the fictional world of Macross. The VF series itself was implemented in the expectation of having to fight it out with the giant-sized aliens hinted at on the ASS-1. Why wouldn't one also assume that those same aliens will have a fast and nimble fighter as well? A lot of ideas Studio Nue comes up with are pretty neat-o. But this one is generic and a little naive to state the least. Not that I don't like it. But overall the concept, not the physical design, could've used some work. Yea, I mean to include in my last post something like "unless it were in the form of a flashback" It does sound rather important, almost too important not to be mentioned. It says it was destroyed Setpember of 2005.

In response to my last post: Looks like we won't see it, according to Nanashi's site (I clicked the VF-0S reactive armor): Sooo, looks like we wont see a captain Global in Zero wiping out AUN forces in space. =p That'd do it, huh? =p

That's certainly interesting. =D Perhaps we'd see this in Macross Zero, I'd sure like to. What year are we in Macross Zero currently?

Indeed, I like the style of the 1J's coloring.

EDIT: If the pics don't work at first, try adding a space at their end in the URL bar. Here's a VF-0 scheme I did based on my clan colors: http://www.geocities.com/mbs357/mbsu4.jpg Here's another version: http://www.geocities.com/mbs357/mbsu4b.jpg (The insides are darker, as if looking through the canopy) They might not have fancy shading and all, but I think they look decent. ;]

What is it made of currently?

This isn't really a repair question, but it's a minor problem I'm having with my 1/48. I decided to put a few stickers on it to make it look better, but I suck at putting them on so it'll only be a few. One of them, of course, would be to cover up the big white spot on the side of the nose. Are the instructions telling me to put both stickers 14 (the kite) and 15 (some kind of white/clear thing) on at once? Do I put 14 then 15? This is confusing me to no end. (The Valk in the sticker page is a 1/60, I find that humorous.)

I had the link to a really promising sounding Gundam mod for Quake 3 Arena. Alas, going through my links of mods, I cannot find it.* I also have a Gundam mod link for HL...dunno about that one. *Edit: Found it: http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~gundamuniverse/main.html No downloads as of yet, but nice looking models, and some good sounding gameplay explinations.

That is quite a bit. When you're one of the very few places for fans of something so big to unite, and with such an obvious name...this happens. ;]

About the left hand/right hand thing. In episode 18, Pineapple Salad, it's clearly visible that after Max smashes through some buildings in pursuit of Millia that he has been carrying his gunpod in his left hand, he then switches to the right and fires.

What else was cut out? As alas, I have yet to see original Macross. It's also been a while since I've seen Robotech.

Half-Life does indeed use a modified (heavily) Quake I engine, NOT Quake II. I once had a YF-19 model for Q2. No idea where I got it. It was neat... And wow, Fokker, you were the head of that mod? I had checked the site out many times looking for new info back when I was a Tech-Head...(cringe).

Chronocidal, that's awesome. o_O What's the program that the person at this site is using? http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=37061 I've seen it around alot, but haven't been able to get any info on it. =\

I've put together a NASCAR model (which was the works, glue, paint, and other stuff) fairly decently, and a snap together F-16 model. I've goofed with legos alot, so I guess I can get the parts to go together decently. But the painting and decal part kind of worries me. Should I start with cheaper models before getting myself into a Hasegawa 1/72 kit? I know they're not exactly pricey, but I'm sure there are cheaper models out there that I could hone my skills on. If I can get it to at least look decent with my skills I'll be more than satisfied. Also, what would you all say would be the simplist Macross model kit made by Hasegawa? I don't want to start up suddenly doing a kit after such a long absence from the practice. And most Macross models by Hasegawa are listed as Skill Level 3. If I'm not mistaken, doesn't this rating system go up to Level 5? I think that's about all I wanted to put in here...I hate when I forget what I've planned on writing for the last 20 minutes when I open up the post thing...

That 1J model is definatly not transformable. =p If this mod comes out any time soon, I may reinstall HL for it. =x Otherwise, I'll wait for their HL2 version. =D

My first: Yamato 1/48 VF-1J (no FAST packs) My Latest: Yamato 1/48 VF-1J (no FAST packs) My Next: Hopefully FAST packs...and a 1S...or 1A...or...

I have my VF-1J in "perched" mode on my stereo at the moment. Really neat mode. Wish I had FAST packs...but man, it's already awesome enough. If I get anymore happy I might explode... /me cuddles 1J Anyway, yea, perched mode owns.

Those are awesome. Wish I had the skill to put together a model and have it look half way decent. I did a stock car once...bleh. But anyway, awesome model there. XD

That is a great custom. For some reason I've grown to like the Minmay Guard quite a bit. If I can find a pic of the decal sheet or something, I may install VO again to have a crack at a custom skin...bwahahaha... No one cared about my MW schemed one. =[

I think they look neat on that 1J. If only I had more money... /me looks around...finds a quarter ...I would buy more Macross stuff. =[

AvP2 is one of the best games I've ever played. I think that the baldness and a few facial features (big nose?) reminds me of Rykov. But yea, all of the models in that game are great. The game itself is great. And it actually has good acting. D= It just lacks a bit of replay value...

I will die the day they retire the F-14... I love the thing so much. /me cuddles 10 year old 1/48 toy he got somewhere...

I'd be willing to buy one of those peices that holds the backpack and hatch thing in place for my 1J. I have no FAST packs, but for some reason the hatch does not snap into place. I've examined it well, doesn't seem to be anything there that makes it snap...it's weird.

Good to hear, too many good sounding Macross mods go under. XD That's definatly a great Bretai model, man. I think he looks more like Rykov than Superman...but that's just me and my love/addiction of AvP2 talking. =p
