  1. Hi guys, There's a new Macross fanfic that's up. To be exact, it's a halfway of a fanfic in the way it works. Macross 2054 Quest http://archive.moe/tg/thread/34679424 (latest thread as of this posting) (previous threads: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Macross%202054%20Quest) (Announcement and schedule of live sessions: https://twitter.com/BoredofDirector ) You play as a Pecker, a pilot/engineer who is newly inducted into SMS aboard the Macross Avalon. What's a quest you say? It's a collective freeform RP/CYOA. Take a choose-your-own-adventure book. Then, have one guy flip the pages (That's the guy running a Quest) while all the other players vote on what to do next. Instead of a play-by-post forum RP, it's live story/roleplay sessions on the board itself (much like live RPG sessions over Skype ) It's fun and you have a say in the direction of story. Cheers.
  2. IIRC, doesn't the VF-17 also have reloadable drums?
  3. Honestly, reverting to no-reloading doesn't make sense.
  4. I wonder why they went back to the non-reloadable architectures for the VF-25's gunpod though...
  5. Err, what I mean is being obsessive-compulsive over canon. Like how fans try too hard to explain and fit in inconsistencies and stuff.
  6. Ain't it funny how Western fans like to mince and dice over canon? Like the way they do with Star Wars/Trek, and even Halo(read the wikia entry about Dr. Halsey)?
  7. Is it true that Yamato has a VF-4 in their list? (though if I do tryget the experten VF-4, that's the end of it). Tokyohunter says though that his chance of securing a VF-4 is practically none.
  8. I have a problem. I can pick figma Marisa and one of these three items. 1. Vic Viper resin kit http://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/rail_link_c3/11822159.html 2. Aya Shameimaru resin kit http://yamaiyamai.blog83.fc2.com/blog-entry-4.html 3. VF-4G resin kit (if I get this, I probably have no more budget until the summer) http://experten.cocolog-nifty.com/blog/201...0winterb33.html Any suggestions?
  9. I'm surprised! Although the detailing is rudimentary at best, maybe the scale and transformation is attracting people. Well, there's also certain auction patterns of behavior that drive up prices too. At least we get a perfect transformation VF-4G!
  10. WonFes2010 is bound to have a lot of garage kits, Macross included. I stumbled upon some news on fg-site.net, and I came across Experten's latest news after his VF-17D post. As I said in the 2010 kits..... Some guy named Experten is going to sell a fully transformable 1/100 VF-4G at Wonder Festival 2010. Around 18,000 yen each I think. http://experten.cocolog-nifty.com/blog/201.../vf-4-7404.html Seems that before, he sold at Treasure Festa, some 1/100 VF-17D and VF-19A models for 30k yen and 35k yen each, respectively. http://experten.cocolog-nifty.com/blog/200.../post-b228.html Of course, I am reading this off Google Translate and trying to make sense of it.
  11. What's so particular is the fact that even a mere garage kit maker, to be exact, an individual, has access to the license. THROW OPEN THE FLOODGATES!

  13. Wonderfestival 2006 eh? It's time to track down the site of the guy who made that VF-19F. That's amazing from the paint scheme to slapping on VF-19F wings! I wanna give my VF-25F some VF-19F wings.
  14. For the fighter mode side view, it feels as if there's no space for the actual hand manipulators. What if you bulk up the arms and those shoulder thrusters, err, make them taller? Also, how about making the upper stabilizers bigger? Given the redesigning, I would also suggest reducing the canopy length by 20% and re-proportioning the area directly behind it.
  15. I have no idea how I'm supposed to react to this. http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Spider-Man-...tech-10902.html
  16. I'm interested in the scans so I can use them as a guide. Maybe I can figure out how to do the magnets this way.
  17. Since the super pack was previewed, I have this funky idea: I'll use tiny magnets inside the valk and the add-on parts instead of letting pegs or slots do their work. Now, the problem lies in using a base VF-25F/VF-25S to deal with this. As you can see with the leg armor, they transform snugly without the armor and with the armor. Problem is translating this to model kit form. Does it seem like there has to really be made a gap (by method of a saw) in that concave corner that joins the sides and rear of the legs? Note, I plan to do the magnet attachments for the armored and super packs.
  18. lechuck: Don't forget that we give the YFs some leeway with the toys because it's constantly 2d represented and the proportions sometimes are off. With the VF-25 there's little leeway since 3d models were involved and the models/toys were conceived alongside it.
  19. How did you do that? I'm stuck on the third wave of vajira in that stage.
