I agree with bloodcat. I dont think the PSP is practical enough. Whats the point of having a PSP if you can play those same games on a PS2? I dont beleive portable justifies it enough. If im going portable, I would get the new game boy.

Freakin sweet. Keep it up! I wish I could help you guys but I absolutely lack art skills and am clueless to how animation works. I can only hope for the best and smooth sailings!

Ed

thats some awesome number crunching! I wonder what Yamato thinks of the market outside of Japan for there macross line? 'screw the yankees' I bet haha.

Ed

I agree with takatoys a little. I think this episode was good, but it makes me think, shouldnt the final episode be a good hour to nicely conclude everything instead of half? I dont know what to expect for episode 5 but it better come to a GOOD closure. Not decent, or fair, but great. And I just dont know how it can be done in 30 minutes. Hopefully Kawamori will work his magic.

Ed

Yep that was the plane. thanks Shin.

Hey all what was the plane used by Argentina in the war against Britain for control of an island? I cant seem to remember it, but it looked very sleak. From what I remember they only had a handful and they took out several British ships! Anyone have any idea?

Also, Im thinking about the whole Russia and US collaberation, and I beleive that US needed Russia to build the some of the Blackbirds (sr-71) Titanium parts. Is this true or no? I cant remember where I seem to have heard this since it was long ago and I might be confusing with something else.

Ed

I have no clue why but I love the F-16, its my favorite! Ever since I first saw it as a child I was like "I wanna fly that f***** thing!" In terms of dogfighting I think it can hold its on. But If it has to go against a mig-29, ill put money on the mig. and when the hell is Russia and USA going to collaberate with an airplane! Just think about the possibilites! Radical Design (Su-37,47 and so on) with the latest technological crap in avionics (Fly-by-wire, super computers all that jazz). I cant imagine what kind of an extreme plane it would be!

Ed

This takes alot of steam out, thanks for making this thread haha.

That rocks! Excellent Job Gonzo! Try and make the cockpit shift around also during transformation and I think you will have perfected it. (The cockpit does shift during transformation right?)

Ed

A little off topic but how does Aero Elite: Combat Academy stack up against ace combat series, Delta strike or any other flight sim/game?

Ed

Thanks again Jin Kune Do and Druna!

Ed

Intresting.

Im guessing a .5mm works best Druna Skass? Thanks for the input.

Ed

Thanks all for the suggestions!

There was a comment on another thread to use a qtip/paper towel soaked in windex/rubbing alcohol to give a weathering effect with panel line pens. Will I need a clear coat after im done? What kind of clear coat should be used? And last, should I mark over the paint when applying the panel line pen?

Im also intrested on giving the plane a little more greyish look, but not to much, only a little. Im hoping the weathering effect will take care of that. Please give input on this.

Ill goto an Art supply store soon and buy everything including the panel line pens and whatever else I may need.

Thanks Again

Ed

Hi all.

I just got a Yamato 1/48 Hikaru VF-1J with Fast packs. The model is great but I am not very pleased with the pure white plastic.

I have ordered Takatoys stickers to replace the originals.

I notice that people are filling in the panel lines. Which makes the valkyrie look better (in my opinion). I was thinking about using a light to medium grey color to give it a metallic look. But should the color not look good Ill go with dark grey or black.

What do you use to fill them? Should you fill in the panels with paint over them? Anything I should be wary of before I fill them in?

Thanks

Ed

Oh sweet! Its about time they made another movie/series!

He(Focker) was NOT shot down in the TV series. He manage to recover the damaged valk and somehow enjoyed the pineapple salad with Claudia.

thats true, being technical and all haha.

Staright Forward. T3 is an excellent action movie. Everyone must agree! The action is freakin great! right? GOOD! Story can be argued, but its terminator, it always has been about the past, present and future. If they threw in another concept or fresh material, no one would like terminator 3 because it wouldnt relate to the first or second. Or any other movie at that point, like Matrix. We all know Movies are for entertainment. Unless its really bad (house of the dead). T3 is an action movie. So sit back, enjoy millions and millions of dollars being spent on carnage and destruction, and pretty women, and jokes, even if there corny, and the story weve all known, heard, and thought about countless times (once again the story part is hard for alot of people to go through haha).

Ed

Looking at your valk again, I think you should do something to that canopy. Maybe you can have some sort of mirror tint? or just a slight black tint or extreme black tint canopy? I dont know, but overall, a mirror tint on that canopy will just make it look really cool! Just a suggestion though Moose! Great work again haha.

Ed

Excellent! Thats a great recreation of Focker being shot down from the Macross TV series. One thing that stands out though is how clean the nose still looks but still. Its very awesome! Good job!

Ed

Awesome!! I love all the missles it has! Ready to blow about 30-40 planes out of the sky at once!

Whoa all black! Now thats a low viz night valkyrie! Good job and keep up the work!

My favorite has been the F-16

2nd favorite is Mig-29

I love the rivalry these 2 planes had

And that story about the Iraqi planes in the Gulf War is something else! I never knew that those Russian planes still had a can of whoop ass in them. haha.

Man I would love to see a 20th anniversary DYRL movie edition. If they dont come out with one im positive that they might do something with the 25th anniversary, who knows.

I enjoyed the Original better. I agree with Father Jack and all his points he made. The story was just a little better and beleivable than Macross 7. Both were powerful though but I was lifted by the original a little more. I dont know the reason why I like it more. And I really dont want to reflect on it to find the answer in my inner self. haha. I was dissapointed by the poor animation in Macross7, its supposed to be more modern and all. But the second half was much better. Of course Macross had its horrid animation, but it was made up by the beautiful ones done by Studio Nue. Now those were classic 80's masterpieces.

Ed

The non transformables look real cool. I might get some, and maybe the ones that transform also.

If anyone knows where else they are sold then please say so.

Ed

Excellent Stuff!

I really like the Excalibur Wallpaper. Its a perfect match and nicely done. Keep up the great work!
