    Hot damn, that last pic looks ah-mazing!
  2. CoryHolmes
    Ah. Blech, FaceBook Pity, but I hope it'll work out. If the basic rules don't need rehashing in the new books, maybe it'll be enough. Maybe.

    To why by who??? I haven't heard anything about a Southern Cross RPG from Strange Machine Games.

    When it comes to those little fiddly bits, were you able to carve out one master and then modify the individuals as needed, or did you need to sculpt each one by themselves?

    I'm not on Facebook (heathenous scum that I am), but I'll borrow my brother's account. He doesn't mind his personal data being mined Is an airbrush necessary, or would spray cans / brush paints do a good enough job?
  6. CoryHolmes
    B... but that would require having a scale-correct Spartas to be crushed... How do you recommend painting this kit? I didn't realize just how many teeny tiny little pieces are in it until your photo!

    Hmm. This has piqued my interest. I love the RT Minis I've already got, though they're the last product I'll ever buy from Palladium. It'll be fun to see what others Kids Logic comes out with!

    My boss has built his business around your latter example I played around with vac-forming at technical college. It was fun! Injection moulding was more fun, though Would vac-forming be of use to your kit-making?
  9. CoryHolmes
    My bad, when he said "it's expensive" I mis-remembered it as "rare to find".

    Repeat question, so let me try a new one: I was told that modelling board (Renshape???) is increasingly hard to come by. Do you have to ration what you use for a project?
  11. CoryHolmes
    QFT!! Like I said above, much of my Robotech viewpoints are influenced by the RPG worlds, and specifically the way my friends and I played them, but I've really come around to preferring the Southern Cross setting of the three eras. The mecha are neat without being missle-hogs, there's political intrigue and infighting, and those unique body armours are fun fun fun. I will forever be sending modelling vibes to the good Cap'n. Until more people get onboard, and then it'll happily be funds

    On those really bulbous shapes, was it hard to find a parting line that didn't have an undercut? Or is that not much of a problem with your pink goo?
  13. CoryHolmes
    Good luck! What' you've got here looks amazing so far!
  14. CoryHolmes
    Yes, but if I can stretch my mind to accept giant transforming robots, I can deal with the little idiosyncrasies of the plot. As long as its internally consistent, I'm fine.
  15. CoryHolmes
    And yet I prefer the Warthog controls to any other driving game. I hate GTAs driving controls, CP2077 is okayish... ish. I guess I'm just not built for driving games.
  16. CoryHolmes
    Yeah, Seto Kaiba is right. My brother and I played splitscreen co-op on the OG Xbox, jeez nearly 20 years ago now. I was the wheelman, he was the gunner in the back. To this day we're still giggling over how crazy he found my driving, even though we don't live in the same city any more. "Blah blah blah, your warhog driving sucks blah blah blah." As soon as the Tesla Cybertruck was revealed, my brother texted me with a "frakk NO!" caption, because it looks so much like the Warthog.
  17. CoryHolmes
    That's what my brother tells the judge every time I get behind the wheel of a Warthog

    Honey Glaze Union, I love it! I don't argue that it wasn't the lowest possible hanging fruit, and that it was hamfistedly done. I just enjoyed the idea and what games it let me and my friends play about the world beyond just the main heroes. I do argue that the surviving population was just on the SDF-1. All the story notes say "70% were killed", so that leaves many other to try to pick up the pieces.

    We had two sticks, for the whole family! And we had to share the rock! The Stampeed Valkyrie is the most egregious example that springs to mind, though I'm not as up to par on Macross mecha. And as for the Auroran, I really like the justification they came up with in the 2nd Ed RPG: it was a multibranch mecha, designed for both the air and space forces. It's a kludge-y justification, but it works for me. I liked the idea of the EBSIS. Part of what I like about Robotech is that after the Rain of Death things didn't just magically Come Out For The Best (tm) and various new nation-states sprung up and didn't quite like the idea of a one-government world; which lead into the more eclectic Armies of the Southern Cross. But that's veering dangerously close to fan-wanking the story, so I'll leave it at that.
  20. CoryHolmes
    Yes, but I'd like to point out that Macross also went back and redid the Monster Destroid as a transforming mecha for... um... reasons. Along with several of the more ludicrous FAST pack designs for the Valks. Besides, MY fan-made mecha is perfectly acceptable and not to be doubted at all!!
  21. CoryHolmes
    Hey now! Some of us also incorporate stuff from the newer version of that RPG
  22. CoryHolmes
    I tried to keep my list to mecha that haven't had model kit or toy releases. Most of the Zentradi mecha have been done, the Cap'n did the Invid mecha himself, and how he's doing the Bioroids. After that, the bad guy mecha aren't really my kind of jam from most anime. If I expand my list to ones that have already been done, I wouldn't mind a Zoa figure from Detonator Orgun. That's another old anime I have fond memories for.

    From Southern Cross, we get the big three: Hovertank. Ajax ( AGACs. AGAX. Ugh, fine; Auroran). Logan. (I love this little maligned mecha more than is reasonably healthy). From New Generation I'd get the Horizon-T transport. I wrote/imagined a Firefly-themed Robotech setting, with a Horizon-T taking Serenity's place. ((Ideally, I'd love to have a VF-1, Hovertank, and Cyclone all in-scale so I could pose the three generations together fighting in the Invid War)) From Rifts we get the USA G10 Glitterboy and the PA-06A SAMAS. (based on the Kevin Long pictures from the original RPG, none of the other artists come close.). Might have to get the Jaeger mecha from Rifts: Germany, too. From Halo and Mass Effect, I'd get a custom Master Chief / FemShep duo (my favourite non-canon OTP!) If the Captain felt up to doing human figures, I'd get a custom Dana Scully wielding the Witchblade. From Transformers I'd get a GOOD representation of Punch / Counterpunch (my absolute favourite Transformers character ever of all time). Those are just the ones from the top of my head. I'm sure more will come to mind in the next few days, but then my bank account will remain too empty to do anything about them.

    and and a one of !
  25. CoryHolmes
    I could save... or I could just sell my brother's kidney. He doesn't need it that much, does he??? I remember, which is the only reason why I haven't commissioned you to build any of the obscure mecha that I really want.
