That is one the nicest macross pics i've seen... the lighting from the fold boosters just sets it off. better call the waaaabulance....

Sqidd.... i hate you. Nah just kidding, that looks amazing! I always look forward to your "strike a pose" posts

I know he's on here many times over... and iwill put another nod to samurai m for being a very good person to deal with. He went out of his way to find me a VF-11FP in my price range, buy it, and ship to me. He has gone above and beyond the call of duty and is in my opnion - a star!

I'm with you and Dr Hingten on that Dobber.... its what got me into loving aircraft.. saw one when i was 5 or 6, and it was like" i waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaant one" beutiful aircraft. - back on topic... would someone ( an owner of one or two?) maybe like to do an update post with a list of tried and tested fixes for the SV-51? This would help others (like myself) to not have to trawl through over 100 pages of posts. Maybe a pinned topic on fixes is in order? then we can maybe finally close this puppy down.

Just in case any new members (like me) dont know to research before committing http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?show...1393&st=100

Its a shame that things have come to this stage and this had to be done. I think the Mods of MW do a fantastic job (nice script on the rules Mods) and for the most part, everyone on here is / seems to be pretty decent. It saddens me that MW has had to take measures to protect itself in this way.

Try doing a search for "galactica - second coming". This was a project by Richard Hatch to get a continuation of the original Battlestar Galactica series with some new tweaks. Hatch's idea was to tell the 'what happened next' while forgetting the awfull galactica 1980 fiasco. There was a pilot trailer made for this but i dont think it has ever beenn released online. as it happens, Glen A Larson and hatch both pitched the idea to studio execs just before Ron Moore, and it was a close run thing for a while but we all know the end of this story now... I would love to see the concept trailer for "second coming" because it apparently had some wicked evolution viper designs and some pretty cool cgi too. If anyone knows where to see this... post a link!

Folks... i'm no Moderator, but can we for once keep all the petty squabbling out of this thread? Graham is doing us a great service by opening this thread to voice our opinions/requests to Yamato. He could even open this thread for them to read directly - anyone think of that? lets keep things realistic and on topic. I am interested to see other requests too, I am not however, interested in reading back and forth debates on which valks are cool or not... should they, shouldnt they etc. If someone has a request/idea - post it. if you have an opinion on it - pm it EDIT - sorry mods... just thought that this thread out of all should be clean and on topic.

That one has an english dub and sub.

lol...yeah.. maybe i'm just a bit tired (feels like i been at work forever - 15hrs so far) and i need a cookie. didnt mean to get all battyy

Does anyone else feel like there is getting to be too many "best" threads? seems like everytime i log on, there is another "best pilot" "best tank" "best scifi show" etc....... not trying to have a go at anyone here.. just feels like some are getting lazy and not reading enough of the current threads. lol... tomorrow i'm gonna start a 'best best thread'

I have often wondered that myself. Oh, and by the way... Big Thanks to Graham for taking the time to do this... and i think i speak for all of MacrossWorld. - Thankyou Graham -

ooh.... where to start. I guess i'll begin with the SV-51 - are there plans to address the problems with the first release, and will the 'Nora' be fixed? (a lot of dedicated fans are waiting for a sturdier version to be released before buying) Can we see some pics of the YF-21 prototype? (i'm sure you're all over this one already). Will we see a VF-0D anytime soon? (you know we all want it, and it will sell for sure). Reactive armor for the VF-0? (again.. its a no brainer on the sales front). Could we maybe see Yamato use stronger boxes - I know it sounds silly, but it makes a big difference. Hope i havent bombarded you on this one.... i know everyone else will!

A quick shout out for VF Strike Valkfor sorting me out with an elusive MPC Max with appendix armour. I have finally recieved it no thanks to the UK crappy postal system strikes. He provided me with good communication from the start and items were so well packaged, you could have sent eggs/babies/something reaallly fragile... you get the idea

Thanks Steve.. last time i checked HLJ, they just said "out of stock". I have ordered one so i will wait and see what happens.

I wonder... is there some kind of clear coat spray for models/toys that protects agianst this kind of thing? It would have to be really thin to not hinder any transformation etc.

It just seemed like common sense to me. A non permanent lining method... Heheheh.. top tips from the totally unprofessional.

Yeah.. in Trek 6 - The Undiscovered Country... Sulu is captain of the Excelsior... at the start he's doing his captain's log thing.

Hey Ruskii, try http://www.anime-eden.com (its $5 for one month of unlimited downloads - they everything macross there too) or you may try a *ahem* bittorrent site... or the imacross server (there is an english dub of episode one too!) http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=244 Hope this helps! (if u get badly stuck... drop me a PM and mail u a good copy!)

I'm no modeller by any stretch of the imagination... and i'm new to panel lining... i came up with this one on my own.. I use an ordinary pencil for lining. Preferably a soft one like a 2B or something.. works a treat, and if u dont like it... it rubs off - magic eh? n00b skillz

yup, thats totally fair. I really do hope he sorts himself out. It doesnt take a minute to send an email or PM to put someones mind at rest.

I would like to add Kamakura to this list of useless people. I arranged to buy 2 valks from him for which i sent payemnt on the 27th of sept. I heard nothing for a week.. i sent him some polite "did you recieve payment ok" mails and "could you let me know when you expect these to be shipped" etc... After a while (around 10 days) i got an email saying that he would "look into it" and i have not heard anything since... I am currently $205 out of pocket and a bit p*ssed off. I am not an unpatient person, all i want is some communication.. verification of payment recieved and items ready for shipping. I am not the only person in this situation with Kamakura, i have been talking to another MW member via PM who is in the same situation. I can understand delays due to other commitments, but there is NO EXCUSE for not communicating, especially after funds have been sent in good faith. I would advise steering clear of this guy.. i know he's been nominated in the SSL, and i'm happy someone has had better service than I. (if he makes things right , i will make it known and update you all with the result)

I want to a 12"+ Galctica and Pegasus with removable pod covers (so we can see and use the flight deck) that come with a small fighter wing of vipers... oh and a raptor or two. Not asking too much is it? Aoshima would be good for this task, as their Aliens dropship is an excellent example of a "working" toy/display model.. Does anyone hear my cries??? EDIT - after reading this again.. it would need to be at least 24" ass the vipers and raptor would be tiny... hell make it HUGE!!!! i'd buy it! oh and it has to be a ready built - not a model kit. (hate doing that gluuing painting thing, i suck at it)

IMHO Max = Best technical pilot Roy = Best overall (he was the skull squadron daddy afterall) Isamu = everyones favourate underdog Maverick (from topgun) type hero Basaru = dooshbag.

I have that one too, and it must be said (for any newbies reading) that the subs are pretty bad. The first couple of episodes are in fairness, ok. After episode 3 the subs seem to less and less accurate. By episode 5 its a real mess and near impossible to make out what is going half the time. My advice - get one of the many Fansubs around (i have one titled A_F & A F and its great).. its nice to have the dvd for picture quality sake, but they suck on the translation side... EDIT - Ratchet & Ruskii, i trust you both have fansub copiies already? if not... get some. Its an entirely more enjoyable anime when it makes sense.
