Thanks fellas! The next project will be a vertical screen arcade bartop similar in finish and design. Three buttons, stick & spinner.

These are a couple of my recent projects. Both were scratchbuilt from recycled electronics and scrap materials at pretty minimal cost. The arcade bartop runs MAME via Pegasus Frontend on Linux Mint. It's built around an old Dell all-in-one PC with very humble specs, dual core Celeron and 8GB RAM. The virtual pinball mini runs VPX via Batocera. It's powered by an N100 mini PC with 1080p playfield and 600p DMD in the backbox. Both were lots of fun to design and build, and tons of fun in action ð

Huh. The presence of the spring is new to me, but I'd always transformed them using Wotafa's method regardless. Always thought that it just relied on the natural flexion of the plastic. Neat!

Why can we not see who has liked a post?
Hiriyu replied to Chas's topic in MW Site News & Member Feedback
On the flip side of that though, sometimes I will tap the 'like' button in specific cases where there's not really anything of value that I can add to a conversation, but just to let the poster know that their contribution is appreciated and isn't being ignored. Oftentimes it's regarding subject matter that I have less than minimal knowledge of, but where a member posting has obviously expended substantial effort to do something useful, or just cool, for others. -
I was kind of hopeful that the newer ones might have had better qc/production values. The apparent care given to the paint and packaging of the Fugu made me think that maybe the production tools were being used by a different party, but it's just as likely that it's the same backing.

Found a forgotten pic of my Valkyrie Factory 1S with the clear covers installed. What's the consensus on the quality of these versus the Fugu? Anyone have both?

Closer to a DX Henkei, but that's disrespectful to Takatoku Henkeis.

You can tell because they weigh the same as a duck, or a very small rock ðĪŠ

Pretty chequered. Their better products have been manufactured by third parties, where Toynami functions as a brand partner/regional distributor. The homegrown Toynami stuff ranges from "ok" to "disgusting".

Awesome work. That must be one of the most comprehensively modified 1/55s in existence! I'm particularly impressed by the completely novel hip joint nesting in what looks like a slide-open nose blister, and the integrated intake covers and toe extension, but that's hardly even scratching the surface. Good show man.

That is rad. While I can't read it, I can certainly admire the hand that penned all of that.

No love for Macross Flashback back 2012 ?

It could have been worse... F. Etienne Ornette?

Neat! Looking at the image closely, it appears that the 1J's visor constitutes the "A", and the chin makes up the "T" to spell out MAT vertically. Fantastic post, and grats on completion of the series! Thanks for sharing them here.

The copyright date of 1984 refers to the creation of Bandai's mold for the toys. We can tell that yours is the 1990 release because the head sculpt is completely unique to that one release.
