  1. Amazing work! I'm especially impressed by the cables in the shoulders.
  2. Hit with a bit of "I haven't seen any posts here in a bit, I'm going to look back through this thread" and came across your post here, which I missed before. Really cool work. Would love to see the steps you took on this one, though I can probably figure some of them out. (Also, it just seems like Macrossworld unsubscribes me from threads I was previously following, for some reason)
  3. That's awesome. I've had my eye on them for YEARS, to fill out my collection, but the prices I see on eBay are just hard to justify for me.
  4. I'll give you that it looks better, but I just got zero joy from the MegaHouse ride armors. I think that they're the only one where I got one and just said "I'm good; no more of this one". (I couldn't say no to getting the all-black Yellow figure, but just did not enjoy MegaHouse once in-hand)
  5. I am not a fan of the redesign by Mosho or Pose+ as of now, and I feel surprised saying that. When Sentinel first posted their pics, a lot of people were commenting on how they preferred the OG design, but I was (and still am) vocal about liking the redesigns and updates. These ones, however, just aren't doing it for me. Rabbit ear... seriously oversized gauntlet armor... The bike mode for the Mosho looks like they based it on the B-King that a guy in Japan modified, with input from Aramaki, to look like a "proto cyclone". Everything else, however, in bike and armor modes, just looks like they're slapping on more bulk to make it look like some sort of thing... but without a real design intent. It also bugs me a bit that they simply seem to have lifted the mud guard from Sentinel. I'm still going to try to keep an open mind, but neither one of these is doing it for me as of right now, today. I'm more excited to Breakers than for these, sadly.
  6. Are you making the STL (or raw CAD files) available for purchase/download?
  7. Thanks for the advice. I ended up going with HobbySearch. Hopefully it will work out.
  8. Hi all, So, it looks like I, yet again, missed a bunch of the preorders for the Proto Garland (in fairness, somehow I missed the first release entirely). BBTS, my usual go-to (they've given me great customer service in the past) is charging what I think is an excessive amount. AmiAmi seems to still have it, but the couple of times I've ordered from them, I feel like the shipping fees were pretty high (it's been a while, so I might be misremembering). PlayAsia (play-asia) has it, but I've never dealt with them. HobbySearch (www.1999.co.jp) has what seems like good pricing (and another item I might get at the same time), but I've never ordered from them. It's a name I've seen a lot and know, but just have no experience with them. Any issues? How are their shipping prices? If anyone can chime in on their advice and experiences, I'd appreciate it.
  9. I think I'm having a brain fart... can someone point me to the link for this latest chapter (and, if there is one showing the full listing of chapters, that would be great; I seem to have only bookmarked chapter 7, and that only shows links through chapter 8). Thanks.
  10. It's funny how these vary. I have quite a few variable bikes that are only for display purposes, and I buy them as a completist. However, I really do love transforming and playing with the ones that can handle it. Yammies for MZ23, I avoid handling at all costs, and just look at affectionately. The Arcadia Garlands, on the other hand, I like to have one for display, and one for actually playing with and enjoying the engineering. The funny thing is that, as crappy as the durability is on the Yamato Garlands, the Yamato Motoslaves are one of my absolute favorite toys to transform and play with (right up there with a couple Transformers and Toyworld products).
  11. Just can't justify it at that scale and material... but wow.
  12. Not sure what you mean here. I don't think ARTMIC worked on Macross. EDITED: Grammar
  13. I don't disagree that they're "out there", like you said. I'll even go one further and say that they don't make a lot of sense, and seem like genuinely bad ideas in the real world. All of that said, they're still fun, IMHO, and I think they'd look cool on my displays. I will add that I only just recently, FINALLY, got around to opening and playing with the Bartley. I don't know if it's the general improvements Sentinel has made, or just the little added touches on this design, but I really enjoy it and it has reawakened my enjoyment of Sentinel's take on the ride armors.
  14. This looks like that Festival Times stuff from a few years back, where some fans were trying to get an update off the ground and had about a dozen fun variations on the design in there. I don't think anything came of it, and I haven't had luck finding copies of those 2 or 3 issues anywhere short of really ridiculous prices. This also looks like they combined it with the Travertson V-Rex.
  15. Seeing this in 3d here, I'm seeing more elements of more recent Aramaki designs than I expected... and I like it. Now this makes me wish Sentinel would do BGC similarly.
  16. I would be genuinely excited to check this out as a regularly, accessible manga.
  17. Thank you for finding and sharing these! These are great.
  18. I'm having some trouble finding pics or vids of the three of these. Does anyone have any? Thanks.
  19. Really does. I am so very in for the Hargun. Been waiting on a transformable one of these for SOOOOO long. I love my original Arcadia, too. Sadly, I missed out on the other two... I don't remember if I literally just missed the preorders, or if they came during a window when finances for toys were a bit hard to justify... Hoping on some reissues.
  20. My guess is that the license covered "manufacturing and selling". So, they are still going to sell what was manufactured, but not manufacture new stuff. Shocktroopers had not been manufactured yet. Scouts had been manufactured, but didn't fit up right, so, as he said in the video, were more like model kits you need to glue in place rather than toys you can play with and swap out the boosters on. For that reason, he felt they were not worth the price that people had paid, so he is going to offer them at a reduced rate, since they are essentially models to turn into statues. I'm disappointed, since I always want more Mospeada stuff, and had one of each on preorder. The only thing I have received is my Hellcat (I loved Sentinels as a kid). However, this feels like a true fan trying to be ethical while dealing with real-world finances and real-world other obligations in his life, so I totally respect it.
  21. This to me looks like a fairly typical adventure bike kind of setup for the windshield. Look at the Yamaha Tenere or the Ducati Multistrada.
  22. I, for one, am greatly looking forward to the new Battlestar Galactica Cyclone Motorcycle. This is the update the Turbines needed.
  23. There is definitely something really nice about having the different colors to display. I just wish the Arcadia variant hadn't been so expensive.
