If they are looking at Gundam as a (we want to do it like that), it should be Gundam 0083, or 08th MS team. Perhaps a series based off the game Macross M3 (sorry game, but had a promising backstory). We'll be talking about this for over a year as things slowly unfold. Man, what to do to pass time.

I use the Model master flat. With any clearcoat, what I've found and tested is the amount that is sprayed on. I've found that some of the clearcoats seem to almost cook the paint. It may be some sort of chemical reaction, but what it looks like is that the more clearcoat you spray, the more yellow it becomes. There is a fine line that I've been able to do that lets you put spray your coat out, and it doesn't yellow white color at all. Best bet is to spray a junk piece white, and test out the various clears. Can't tell how much I've spent on finding what works for me. but light coats they always say, I would double that for clearcoats.

I don't even think the Canadians would know. By the time the French speakers get to the English speakers, it's all done and over with. I think just taking over a pond will suffice though. LOL

Here are your possible scenarios... 1) For spray cans, a bad mix of the pigment to the adhesive and transfer (happened to me before). Just buy another can 2) The surface of the color didn't have time to dry, and when it finally did, the evaporation of the solvents caused the clear coat to crack. For that, allow more time to dry, or if you did, see #1 3) Quick drying of the clearcoat. If it dries too fast, there's a possibility that it could crack due to the top of the coat drying faster than the bottom of the coat. Room temerature and not a lot of moisture, away from heaters, fans, and exposure to the sun will prevent this. 4) painted part that was clearcoated was touched too much by oily hands/dirt. I use latex, powder free gloves to handle all my parts after I initially wash them, that's the best defense for that. 5) Mixed paint types... Although you said that they were both enamel. Try using Acrylics if you can for your color paint, and enamels for the clearcoats. you get a better coat using light sprays of the acrylic, and it works well with enamel clear coat. Hope that may help in your search for your problem.

There are so many possibilities for a new series. Any type of spinoff could potentially be an epic story almost. How about what happened to the Megaroad 1? Max and Milia on their first colony expeditions? What if they did do a throw back to the original SDF Macross...Why not do what Gundam did with the 08th MS, and do a series just on the ground pounder mecha? I haven't gone through this thread, and seeing it right now gets my hopes up, somewhat. I'm so tired of CG in animation looking like CG. I miss the drawn animation. It made people actually draw out character emotion, and every show had it's own stamp of originality, other than the cookie cutter syndrome we see today. Can someone recap me on the summary of what is the latest word on this project? No Kawamori? Who's designing, who's directing, how far along are they? Any links or previews? Sorry, working 2 jobs is killing my internet browse time.

Did I say how freakin' great this is??? I think this con always inspires me to customize something, although, as of right now, I don't know what I want to customize. I will have to buy a ton of customizing material again, since mine has aged. Does anyone know what music Mari will be playing? That's very cool. That should get some more people out there, and more women.

Man, I can see it now, for the next MWcon, a contest of RC Scopedogs for Valkyrie prizes!!! I'm gonna have to get one of those just so that I can roll it around the house and go head to head with my roomie. Great pics on the SV-51. That's definitely next on the list of things to get.

Those pics are like drugs, the more I see, the more I want. Better hide the glass mirrors or I'll sniff up the pixels, Damn, this thing looks nice. I've already got some stuff on sale, and I'm gonna need every bit of it for this. I'll be on the 1st release bandwagon, if it's less than $250. I will be hoping that my wedding gifts include a nice lump some of money. I know my fiance would like this thing.

I'm happy with what obviously appears to be an early sculpt. If some things on it look to be out of place like the hands, I'm sure they want to display articulation as much as possible without making 2 or more versions of an expensive prototype so we can see hands. One prototype is enough, and should keep overhead and our wallets just a slim amount fuller. I do hope they fix the legioss attachment bar and it's connecting piece. It looks off a bit, but then again, maybe it's just due to the all grey color blending. I'm a bit concerned though... someone mentioned that CM usually makes these smaller??? I hope not. I'd rather pay the $250 for two large ones each, than $125 for a much smaller one. If it is made close to the same size as what Toynami dangles over our head, it's gonna be sheppard's pie all over Toynami for them holding their Beta hostage.

That's what seperates the pros from the newbs (j/k) I'm gonna be anxious on seeing the new SV-51. I guess I'm gonna start saving now for that, the Tread/Legioss set, and whatever other goodies we see when everyone post their pics up.

She'll already have tied the knot, LOL. But she likes anime, Macross, Robotech, all that stuff, so she's a keeper, and hot.

Oh, almost forgot, I met Morgan Web and Adam What's his last name from G4, that show X-Play. That was when I was in a couple days before Christmas to get my PS3. They were in line to buy their own PS3s. Very cool people. And Morgan Web is a hottie. Much better in person than on t.v.

I've met a few celebs. As of recent, I met Chris Cornell of the late Audio Slave at the Mercedes Benz Dealership I used to work at. I met the Spin Doctors band when my band opened up for them at the Key Club in Hollywood, I also met Jennifer Lopez before she got hooked up with P-Diddy back in the day at her first album release party. Believe it or not, I hung out with Chris Tucker and Mark Wahlberg when going to Tu-Pacs B-day party a long, long time ago. I was dating a girl who worked for Interscope Records, and so, some perks came with that. As of late, not any though.

I'm getting married the week before, but if we plan our honeymoon for august, count me in. I'm gonna have to get the customs out again, and finish up the elintseeker I did. I'll bring a few of the things we may not see too much (like I really have anything rare).

I don't mind hearing an update about no update. I am interested in seeing if he has updated anything since his last progress post back in November. Maybe he's done with it now? It is looking good though.

One of these days, very soon, I'll have pics up of my collection. It's a mediocre collection. But some customs in there as well.

Damn, after seeing that, I realize more than ever, make the damn Beta!!! I could careless about the freakin' new alpha colors. screw those, I want my damn Beta now!!!

You know, that sounds about right as of late. I just ask about the recast though, as I'm not one to really complain much. If there is a problem, I like to fix it.

I like the toy. There's always room for improvements. I wish they were done beforehand, but that's the price we pay sometimes for the "can't wait, gotta get it now" approach. I'm happy with mine. Not the greatest toy, by no means the worst toy, but it's in between. A good toy.

I think it would be an even better selling point if they have helmet-less swappable heads. There'd be nothing cuter than to have a Rook Bartley without her helmet on a bike. The Sue Graham version would be nice too, but the characters without helmets would make a nice detail point.

I've transformed my YF-19 multiple times, and have checked the original piece in question for stress marks. I have none to report. but to keep is safe, I have turned out the screws about twice out of the socket, to relieve any tight screwing. The screw head is still flush with the plastic, and there are no negative reactions, so I hope that works if you have just stress marks and or a brand spankin' new toy. Anybody wanna work on making a very durable resin cast of this piece??? I'd probably buy a couple just for safe keeping, especially if they produce variants of the 19.

I'm trying to figure out how some people who have posted here, automatically assume that it's HGs fault for all the toy problems and how they are just copying. This is a new sculpt for the "Cyclone" ride armor. How different will the transformation be, I have no clue, but there are only so many ways they can have it transform and I'm sure they are trying to do it the right way. I know that people are gonna compare it to the Gakken version, and say that it is a copy. It's an easy assumption to make, especially since most of us wanna hate Toynami so you can join a bandwagon and feel more important in life. Honestly, I'm not a big fan of theirs either, but I do believe in "testing" out all new products. For example, just because the VF-1s sucked from Toynami, doesn't mean their Inuyasha toys, or their Voltron toy sucked. Those happened to be very impressive toys. The saying applies here, "the proof is in the pudding", meaning, let's measure it up when they come out. The alphas have been a let down, especially since there have been no official release of the BETA, but that set aside, if you want the Cyclone, then wait for it, wait for reviews, and weigh it in at that time. I do hope they decide to do the "Rook Bartley" version instead of the Sue Graham. They need to use the characters that everyone remembers. Hopefully interchangeable heads so you can put on the heads without helmets.

I preordered this show from an online website that got them early, and they just shipped it right out. What was interesting to know is that after seeing it on the theater, the sound has been fixed on it, as well as minor details. Out of all that it is, I have many things that just bother me about the release. However, all-in-all, it's not a bad movie. The music score is what really sets the movie apart. The packaging has one of those foil looking slip cases that goes with it, and as Funimation always does, they took a bad image the HG gave them and made it good. Good thing they picked Funimation to do the distribution. Overall, I felt better seeing it out and on my home theater than in the theater. It looks much cleaner and better put together than before.

This one was done by me. It's my 1/55 custom Elintseeker http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...;hl=Elintseeker I never sent it in because I'm recustomizing it to make the legs fully pivotable. So if you wanna put that up till the update, I'd appreciate it.

SAAAAA-WEEEEET!!!! Glad to know things are still moving forward. I can now start preparing for more customs. you guys rock (Anasazi/Nightstalker) Keep the dream alive!
