Masterpiece Cyclone
Guppy replied to protostar8's topic in Where to Buy Macross, Auctions & Dealers Specials
it's a win win situation. Buy the Toynami Cyclone, then, if a Japanese version comes out, sell your Toynami to robotech.com dudes who don't know that Japan makes toys too. -
Have You Ever Met A Celebrity Or Famous Person?
Guppy replied to Phalanx's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Haven't bothered posting here yet but this was too funny. I've been working in tv for 7 years and next week will be the highlight of my career.. I'm interviewing Take That. :D -

what happens if you buy an item on sale then while you're waiting for it to ship the sale price finishes? Will I still get the sale price? I'd better.. -
lol... crying over Brokeback he-man and Armi. And seriosly, I am looking for funny youtube stuff as part of my job. I work in TV. So I save lives, solve world hunger and find solutions to our environmental crisis every day!

Look, I am a pretty responsible poster so I should get off with the occasional irresponsible post. But this had me in tears so I had to share. http://www.superdeluxe.com/sd/contentDetai...A950D7BAC168725 edit: while I'm at it, this one made me cry too. Computer game rage at its best. (warning, harsh subtitled language) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBVmfIUR1DA Hey mods, (look, look! I'm doing some sucking!) Can we start a thread of funny youtube videos? Like the thread we had for Engrish pics? I have uears worth of this ephemenral garbage.

Nice helmet Graham!

sweet! Glad I stayed up late. Is that box art the actual box art or just a quick and dirty poster they knocked up for the festival? I can't tell the difference.

FYI, it's back in stock at hlj. I just bought a pile of stuff so I will be in serious trouble if I get this.. must.. not.. click.. buy.. http://www.hlj.com/product/TKT69275

nice work! And I like how you were lazy on the leg lines because it's covered by the leg armor anyway. Work smart, not hard!

The only one I like in this series is Garada. I just couldn't get into this Mazinger sculpt. I do like how he's so scary looking but I can't stand those huge boots! Looks like he should be playing guitair with Kiss! IT should be called Mazinger 1975!
-
quick! Don't walk, run to hlj. Aoshima Black Getter is 40% off. I just bought it and Dancouga. It's gonna be an expensive year..
-
haha... that would be perfect. And I want a roll of stickers made so I can slap them on people's backs.

who cares about his flight! Post the pictures!!

haven't seen you around these parts in a while, Cyc.. I'm not surprised you're back with all this Mospeada action happening!

I reckon he means the Ennis one. The first miniseries he did I thought was pretty crap but the new one I like. It's Called Trail Of Tears and it's set in the American Civil War. I'm with you guys on the ending of the Civil War series. Basically nothing happened. It just ended at the same place the first issue ended at.

I just figured out why I don't like Ideon. He reminds me of a robot santa claus wearing ice skates.

Looking at those pics I realise I would actually like to have some 'fake' addon leg parts to attach in robot mode. Chances are there'll be someone who could make some modded resin parts for the fans.

re above - I rest my parts on match sticks so they don't touch the paper. Also when spraying I use some thin pliers (such as needle nose pliers) with the bent tips so I can pick up each part, spray it evenly and put it down again. most parts you can find a screw hole or something on the inside to pick it up with so you can spray the outside all over.

I'm so ashamed.. I haven't seen this thread til now. OK, I was away from home for 2 months when this thread started. But damn amazing job! That is begging to be made into a toy especially now we can see how great it looks.

Jardann's right - if you are just doing a bit of painting go with spraypaint. If I was doing it, I would go for an acrylic matte finish. I like acrylic better than enamel, but enamel is more durable but it's oil based so can be messy. Other tips - try lighting roughing up the surface with a light grain sandpaper before painting so the paint will bond better with the surface. And one thing I do to mask little fiddly bits, I use blu-tak to plug the gaps. I think in the US it's called Fun-Tak? For me this is a lot easier than masking tape for very small areas as you can just squish it in and cover the area you want to mask without having to make small cuts with a scalpel. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-Tak And as Jardann says, practice first! I can bet you will be overeager (like I was) and spray too close and/or too much. And when you spray don't spray 'at' the gun. Make back and forth 'passes' - ie, don't start spraying when aiming at the gun, spray next to it then pass across the gun, so you'll get a nice even coat. And patience is important! You don't need to do it all in one coat. Do a light coat, let it dry, then do a second rather than soak it in paint the first try. And last tip, take the gun apart before painting it. You will have a lot less mess and anguish if you can do it that way - it will be easier to paint and you can lay it down to dry on newspaper (I place my parts on a few match sticks first so the wet part won't stick to the newspaper).

Call me a philistine but King Joe does nothing for me. He looks like what he is: a dude in a rubber suit. Reminds me of the robot from that old sci fi movie Forbidden Planet. Question time again! What's the difference between the Mega House and the Fewture tachikomas coming out soon? I'm definitely getting one of them.. just dunno which one. Is one more gimmick-laden than the other? Bigger/smaller? Washes your dishes? 2 mins later after Googling.. Mega House is 1/20, Fewture is 1/24. Mega House is ABS and seems to have a lot of gimmicks and a Motoko figure that can fit inside. From what I can gather, the Fewture one is a gokin version of the vinyl toy that came out in late 2006. pics here! http://robotjapan.proboards12.com/index.cg...8571&page=2 I think I have to say I'm gonna be a traitor and get the ABS one with the cool gimmicks. It's cheaper too. Edit: pics of the Fewture toy: http://64.233.179.104/translate_c?hl=en&am...l%3Den%26sa%3DG says diecast is 60% and some sort of engrish translation about an led light gimmick in the back.
