Found in an italian web shop!! Thanks everybody
-
This is gorgeous, and i think i will buy some Macross 0 hasegawa kit, butu there are things about hasegawa's that make me really upset. The vf-0 is one of the best looking and coherent with his relative battroid mode but even with that there is a thing that got no sense, the rotors in the air intakes of legs are too deep!! How the hell are supposed to be hips articulations and mechanisms if legs are totally empty? Simply hasegawa doesn't care at all about coherence as this is a variable fighter and not a normal fighter. I think i m going to buy the YF-19 as well, but even there the way the legs are too narrow and the arms between them are simply too thin makes me crazy!! Don t mention the vf-1.... and where are anyway all the Macross Plus Battroids?? P.S. Cheng it s a shame that such beatiful pics look really too bright and doesn t show the wheatering properly...

What are those sanding sponges he uses in the video?
-
Yes, i appreciated it mainly for the design. I m going to do a vf-1a next in mass production scheme, but unluckily the vf-1a misses the optional part wich fix the dorsal plate to the chest plate in battroid..
-
Thanks NZEOD but i'm quite happy with my Wave Tomahawk wich looks very similar to the Moscato's. The one i wish more is the Spartan, nobody made a decent version of the Spartan exept Moscato... well the zentradi mechas too...
-
Hi Cheng, if you used Zippo oil or white oil when doing the oil wash maybe this could be the reason if some pieces cracked. I had the same experience with my vf-1 missiles, they crack without apparent reason while drying after oil wash. I suppose the white oil make some strange chemical reaction with this plastic, but ONLY if you allow it to go inside the connections between parts... if it dry fast it won t do any harm.

i used the Humbrol clear dipping the canopy on it and i obtained a good result. Thanks, i ll post a pic soon. -
Yes i now about artificial sun light but the point is that there is not reason for me to think that living in space would increase humans lifespan. Also the photo of Mao Nome demonstrates that humans in Macross series do get old like normal human beings.
-
It would be quite the opposite... sun radiation is essential in the right amount for human's health as the body needs it to produce vitamin D. The bad part of sun radiation should be blocked by earth's atmosphere, at least in a healthy planet. So, assuming in Macross spaceships they have the correct amount of gravity (without whom there would be a terrible decay in physical health), all that living in artificial light environments would instead reduce their life span and health. Also in Macross Frontier you can see a photograph of Dr Mao Nome wich looks about 60 years old coerently with macross dates if you consider that in Macross 0 she is about 15 years old. So, why does Mao Nome get old like all normal human beings and Max doesn't? I'm also thinking about another thing.... how the hell should be supposed to be the VF-0 hip's articulation and mechanisms??? i mean basing on Kawamori's drawings and hasegawa kits, not on Arcadia models.

Thank you but they don t ship to italy for some reason... that s why i wasn't able to find it by myself with ebay italia... How have you done the reasearch? What words have you used?
-
But i need blocks of 4mm x 3mm x1mm and 3x2x1 not round one... i m still looking around.
-
i was referring to that shop people suggested here...
-
Have you ever spoke about e-bay? No, the subject of discussion was that K&J shop.
-
Mintox, can you say me what are the 2x1mm magnets? I m not able to find them Nzeod i m not able to find 2mm magnets at N50, they have only n42 and N52 and there are not that small as you say in N52
-
Does anybody know why their shipping fees are so fool?? They asked 17,5$ for italy for 1,5 $ of very tiny magnets that weight nothing. And with UPS they asked 117$!!!
-
So this " means Inch. Ok
-
i do not understand their unit of mesurement: what's this " they use in fractions?? Is it a "inch"? How much would it be in "mm"??
-
Ok so that is an hironic way to say that Macross7 subject is terrible. I sincerely don t have the courage to see an anime where a fighter's pilot fights using his songs...
-
i don't want to create confusion but i have a question about Macross7 that i never watched anyway: If it s in 2045 how can Maximilian Jenius and Fallina be so young?? They must be 55 years old at least. About M+: yes i didn't notice the fact you say about the time they fight wich was sunset and that in macross city it was night... i will rewatch Macross + as soon as i receive the blue-ray. But anyway: they destroy a building (not just his glasses) with a boost. And the city didn t look like a ghost abandoned city, it looks like a new shining city.
-
ok if i remember well Isamu and Guld fightinside the Macross city not a ghost city. When they boost during the fight there are not simply glasses which disintegrate there are whole parts of solid buildings wich explode. There is no reason for the city being evacuated, how should anybody have known that those 2 valkyries where going to fight between each other inside the city?? Neither there could have been the time to evacuate any city in a bunch of minutes (neither in hours). Also there is no reason for even in such a big and very important celebration every single citizen being out of his home. There are always people who don t go, somebody don t care, somebody is ill, somebody is too old or too young, etc. The relationship between the 3 is not clear, it seems just a lack in the screenplay to me. I had no idea there was a Movie version, i ve read there is a version with simply 20 minutes more, is it this one?? I bought the blue-ray ultimate edition, wich version is that? The YF-19 was in fighter mode in the last scene, if it was in gerwalk it would have been quite plausible. I thing that Isamu was not listening to Guld when he said he was going to "remove the plane's limiters", and there was nothing in the Guld tone that could make Isamu understand he was lying... maybe is a lack in the italian dubbing...

Hello. I recently watched Macross plus for the first time and i must say i liked it, it is visually beatiful, it has a beautiful soundtrack, there a few scenes directed in a beatiful way etc. but i noticed some things in the story and dialogues wich looked very stupid and nonsense to me. Maybe there is an better explanation you have? (I used the spoiler tag because this post has been removed immediately without any message or advice from the moderators, based on the rules there should not be any reason for this action but the spoiler issue was the only vaguely logical possible cause i found) 1. During the first 3 episodes Myung behave like she have some regret toward Isamu like if he did something bad and hurt her but in the last episode we see that the bad guy was Guld.. so why did Myung behave like that with Isamu? Why she behave like a friend with Guld instead and she even have sex with him?? 2. How is it possible that Guld can hide his YF-21 in a ball of junk during his descent in the earth atmosphere? 3. Before Guld sacrifice himself he ask to Isamu to have a drink togheter later, so why does Isamu shout to Guld "don't do that" as if he known what he was going to do? 4. How many people they kill during their battle in the Macross city on earth (what pilot would do that? Just a criminal would do such a thing)?? They destroy a city, Does Isamu pass the rest of his life in jail for carnage?? 5. During the last scene Isamu flight in circle in front of the sdf-1 head, how can an airplane flight so slowly and in such a small circle?? 6. Why does Sharon Apple almost love Isamu in the first episodes and then she try to kill him in the last?? What was she actually trying to do taking control of the Macross??

Do you prefer TV or DYRL paint scheme?
Gatsu replied to potatotomato's topic in Movies and TV Series
Absolutely TV schemes. For many reasons: first the dyrl schemes are too dull in my opinion. I prefer a lot more the TV sdf-1 then the dyrl. Also, in my opinion, the fact that all main characters are in the skulls squadron is the consequence of a choice of the production intended to please the audience because it probably showed to prefer the vf-1s and his color schemes over the other vf-1. So this seems to me just a complaisant choice. In general i prefer a more colorful and varied mechas set. Second i think the movie is quite bad. I think it's visually beatiful, it has beatiful drawings and i d like that the tv serie was drawn like the movie (there are some tv episodes wich are simply realised in a terrible way). It has a beatiful soundtrack. But the story is totally distorted and terribly flattened, as well as flattened are all the main characters personalities. That's why i m kind of bothered by the fact that they used the Movie as a reference for the other sequels. I remember when i saw the first time the dyrl movie in 1992 after i watched the tv serie when i was a kid and i was totally horrified from how bad from a screenplay and direction point of view it was. -
I finished to see the 4 macross plus episodes wich i generally liked as they are visually beatiful, have a beatiful soundtrack and a general nice plot, but some things are really absurds and stupid in my opinion. Maybe somebody here have a better explanation for them? 1. Why is Myung angry with Isamu during the first 3 episodes? Looks obvious that she behave like if Isamu hurt badly her but in the last episode we discover that Isamu did nothing wrong and the bad guy was Guld. 2. The fight between Isamu and Guld in Macross city is absurd, why the buildings explode when they flight near them?? How many people did they kill during that fight? Can i assume Isamu passed the rest of his life in jail for carnage? 3. How can Isamu know that Guld was going to sacrifice himself and say "don t do that" to Guld if Guld was asking him if they could have a drink togheter later?? 4. How can i fighter flight in a small circle so slowly as Isamu do in last scene of the 4th episode in front of Myung?
