Okay, what's the next question?

Well, normally I would notch a small mark as a guide for the pin vise, so I rarely have the problem you mentioned (the wandering pin vise). But for 0.01" pla-plate, I guess this is overkill.. Uhm, okay, if you say so.. As long it's not in your lap, you do need to think about the family jewels. Hmm. If you have seen the 1/60 GBP thread, the general opinion was that Yamato had the shoulder missile pods mounted on a slip cover which will go over the existing shoulders, to give the missile pods more stability. So instead of a missile pod C-clamping the shoulder, we have a missile pod of a false shoulder structure which will in turn go over the actual shoulder, like a glove over your hand.

Uhm, Fulcy.. you might want to invest in a pin vise. I think it's a lot safer then stabbing hyperdermic needles into pla-plate. Not to mention I rather you not get too much practice in stabbing hyperdermic needles into anything. Anyways. After seeing the work here, I have got to get more practice in scratchbuilding outside of the 28mm range. That you are willing to toss what I would have considered great work is really depressing. EDIT: Oh, BTW, you might want to steal an idea from Yamato and use their slip-cover ideas for the should missile pods. That might make your life a bit easier.

Too tired to go into this right now but this site may help. Gundam High Frontier The author is a very respected member of the Gundam community.

Hmm, quite some time off and the current quoted price is rather high.. 9,800 Yen?

Bingo! Lightning 06 has the conn. Attachment: Washu in Noir episode #18, at 19:13

heh, thanks. This one's a bit suspect, but I'll ask it anyway (and provide a bit of direction): In Noir episode #18, which Tenchi Muyo character makes a cameo appearance?

IIRC.... 4? EDIT: Opps! It's 6.

In reading your summaries, yes. To help you in it... well.... :P (actually I'm simply waiting for the Graphical Novel to release.)

If the manga's any indication, about the same size. (Granted, mostly on the 'droids created by the hero's father...)

I think the proper description for EXaXXion is "Huge Robots, Big Guns and holy-mother-of-god-sized tits". :) Honestly, any bigger and his female characters in EXaXXion won't need life vests while in water. "Personal Floatation Devices", indeed!

If you are asking where this Landmate is from, I believe it's the Landmate from the first Appleseed book -- Denuan's first Guges, and coincidentally, the first Guges she would trash...

Err. No one liked Sylia.. at ALL? 2040 was okay once you get over the original BGC expectations. The story wasn't too bad. I did like Sudou's singing, compared to the rawer, edgier BGC sound it doesn't compare well but on it's own it's actually quite nice.

Voted for Linna. She's always been the one I've been able to identify with most (as she is the most mundane). And I like her fighting style -- classy. Priss always struck me as a little too edgy and sharp -- which is correct for her character. She's just a powerhouse/ brute force in combat. Nene is too much of a pain in the posterior. Sylia just ain't human. BGC, the music is what makes the show. The mecha, story and music combines to make an excellent show, but after repeated viewing, it's really the music that is memorable.

So you're telling me AA is a virus...? On BF1942, I think it should be taken as a fun game rather than a sim. The good thing is that it has AI support to a genre that traditionally ignored AI support.. assaulting Omaha beach against the AI opponent maxed out is a pain, I tell ya. I liked the game, really. Could get it to work to connect to big games though, but that's probably my network. As for the Midway map, on singleplayer it's ridiculously easy sometimes. As an Allies player I would jump into the halftrack or tank and race to the hanger (where I got repair AND reload.. happiness!). There I'm shielded from most air attacks AND I got LOS to a flag, so that's THE god spot on the map. Alternatively I would use the Destroyer to sink the other side's Destroyer.

It's a Guges from Appleseed, likely a D-model (reserved for ESWAT use). I think I even have this illo in one of the Intron Depot books.

Sebastian = One dang lucky man!

Someone else beat you to it.

Sorry. I got confused between Spring and Summer -- forgot in Japanese the correct term for Summer is Natsu.. Where I am, it's perpetually Summer.. CF = Cannon Fodder. Y'know, our beloved brown Valks.

This thread is very interesting to me, but I personally cannot make much contribution to this as my nation has very strict gun-control laws. (It's okay, as a result we are peaceful and it's rather safe to wander around late at night.) One thing which I haven't seen in the discussion is the types of ammunitions -- things like FMJ, hollowpoints, ball, etc. I'm actually fairly interested in these also, since a good gun can deliver the ordnance, but the ordnance can have some fairly interesting effects too. Just not too sure if Graham's okay with discussing munition types here..

Gar, your wallet must hate you.

Damn. EDIT: I'm not condemming Yamato, just expressing disappointment.

Lots of people asked the questions.. I would suggest reading through the thread to find out. It's 15 pages, true, but 15 pages of interesting stuff. And it's not as if they said they won't do a 1/48 version. They neither confirm or deny that they are doing. Please look at it from their perspective. If they confirm they are releasing a 1/48 and later find that market demand is insufficient to offset costs, it can potentially be a PR nightmare. Thus, from a PR perspective, there is less harm from not confirming. As for which is more popular, 1/60 or 1/48, please check the Yamato statistic thread. Last I check, the number of 1/60 units outnumber the number of 1/48 units. This implies more purchases of a 1/60 GBP set. An analogy between 1/48 and 1/60 is that of a Ferrari vs. a Toyota. Here, Toyota are very common, and cheap, and utilitarian. Ferrari is a luxury item. I think if we think along these lines it would be more accurate. EDIT: Added stuff.

Why not? The image of a GBP with a big-ass radar dish spinning about it is kinda cute, ain't it?

Wondering out loud, but it is probably possible for the Yammie 1/60 Super-O and Elintseeker to wear the GBP...?
