nanashino Any chance of us seeing the HellHound ?

joseph those are really great. Any chance of a side view ?

I use a mouse, i believe even TWDC still uses one too. With my shaky hands and butter fingers i think i could use a tablet

Thanks alot for the tutorial. Btw can't i already do many of the things in Illustrator like tracing and vector lineart with Photoshop or are they any advantages like being more convenient to use ?

For the dial-up people.

That's just your opinion as a diehard M7 fan though. I said the mecha and explosion animations were crappy and recycled many times never said the characters were that animated bad. Let's just say we have a different taste in music. I think the music is very generic though. I wouldn't mind seeing HG taking M7 and making it part of their rowboatech continuity though.

Polidread i am interested to know the procedure for coloring the VF-2 comic script style like the one you did.

Probably minor sharpnel damage. Its hard to see he took direct hit from Zentraedi beam weapons otherwise there would be a gaping hole through his chest.

Macross 7 probably didn't catch very well with youngsters in Japan and as a result most of them not knowing about SDF itself went for Gundam instead. Much of the mecha animation is kinda crappy, the Valks look gayish, the music is annoying. Yet there is the hidden gem of the M&M VF-22S scenes

I really miss Longbow 2. So hard to run these days. Another helicopter sim i am rediscovering is DI's Hind. Dated graphics and sound but it was the first helo sim to feature realistic infantry. Just gotto try the Aghan campaign. They will shot more RPGs than you can shake a stick on.

Awesome work Polidread, is that supposed to be the newspaper comic style ?

Its the Gloster Meteor.

Those are very very cool . I would love to see a 1/72 Fanjet and Tunny. Any chance of a Dragon and Karyobin ?

That purple Alpha really blows I hope they will show more of the obscure vehicles from the original show like the Condor, Yellow and Jonathan's aerospace fighter, the stealth cyclone but i guess that's unlikely.

In Japanese a Lieutenant commander is a Sho-Sa which is the same word for a Major. So the ranks are equal. However Major Focker is still the commanding officer of Skull and Lcdr Baker will remain his suboirdinate.

I was wondering what the ASCC names for the newer Russian fighters were. Came out with this. http://www.designation-systems.net/non-us/soviet.html Su-47 Berkut is the Firkin lol!

hi DH I thought you didn't even like Area 88 to begin with. I posted a photo of the model before.

I was surfing for the A-9A and found out a model existed for it albeit a resin one. http://modelingmadness.com/scotts/mod/us/ya9preview.htm http://www.anigrand.com/AA2021ya-9.html I can't find the gun muzzle for the A-9 though. The prototype reportedly flew with the 20mm m61 rather than the GAU-8. Any idea people ? Nose undercarriage is offset to the left so an operational A-9A would probably have had the Avenger mounted on the center much like the A-10.

The upgraded destroids were very interesting...at least they don't get converted into construction robots.

wow...a splinter/lizard Sv-51. More more more

Are you talking about this? http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/books/dou_mat3extra.htm I've always wanted to take a look at the content! I too would love to take a peek at the contents.

I have a whole bunch of those. A MWer called crazy canuck made them ages ago. That use to be the link to where one can find blanks. Think it doesn't work at the moment http://unspacy.msyte.com/images/blanks/blanks.htm

I tend to disagree. Only a handful of SDF Macross pilots had decent level of combat experience. Remember that most of the good pilots died in the civil war. In Macross i feel that there is such a big gap between the experienced aces and the rookies, you can be either one. Not much in the way of 'regular' or junior 'veterans' skills.
