mister_e Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Two very small nitpicks. Both in the DYRL section. 1. The cannon fodder's shoulders should be solid white with red arrow. Cannon fodders do not have the black deco that the hero valks have. 2. You state that Hikaru pilots his VF-1S without FAST packs during the Meltrandi attach on earth. During that scene, Max was the only one piloting a VF-1S. Hikaru and Kakizaki are piloting VF-1A's. Only Skull Leader flies a VF-1S and, at that time, Max was Skull Leader God I'm a dork! Of course, excellent work on the site. It truly is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valk1j Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I love the work you are doing this is a great resource for Macross fans. The colored lineart really brings out the details of these variables. I was so happy to see the VF-11, it is starting to be my favored VF. I do have a small nitpick with the Mac 7 VF-11, the lineart you used is of the VF-11B. The VF-11C has a different looking heatshield, and markings on the legs. Also the VF-11C gunpod is much different then the VF-11B's gunpod. Not just the bayonet removed. Still though the work and effort that this must take shows, and I can't wait to see more. I may know to much about macross lineart, valk1j needs to get out of the house http://un-spacy-qmtdb.com/uns/variable_mecha/gu_13.gif http://un-spacy-qmtdb.com/uns/variable_mec...lt_vf_11c_1.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Payne Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Excellent site, Mr. March! :) :thumbsup: Y'all just became one of the one-stop resources for Macross mecha right up there with Nanashi's and the Compendium in my opinion. I just have one tiny nitpick... Aren't the engines on Hikaru and Roy's D.VII replicas actually turboprops? The original D. VII didn't have that large exhaust on the side (usually seen with turboprop engines), as you can see in the pic below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, excellent work on the site. It truly is awesome. Nitpick away 1. I don't recall ever seeing a VF-1A Cannon Fodder in Battroid mode in DYRL? I suppose we can use the TV series as a benchmark. I'll see what I can doo about modifying the line art further. 2. Yeah, I was struggling over this one when I first made the entry up. My copy of DYRL? really sucks, so I was unable to discern what model of VF Hikaru piloted in that particular scene. There is no VF-1A DYRL line art, so I'd have to build one. Another pet project...ack! Thanks for the comments. I'll see if I can fix these two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's making me fall in love all over again with the Macross mecha I have no high resolution VF-11C line art, so the VF-11B was utilized. Same thing with the Gun pod. Also, I was working off this particular picture (which shows Macross 7 VF-11B's with Bayonets) due to a lack of available Macross 7 screen shots. http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/art/mcr093l.jpg Hopefully I can get some scans in the future and do both versions, plus both FAST Pack versions (Square and round nozzles).

Hurin Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Nitpick away 1. I don't recall ever seeing a VF-1A Cannon Fodder in Battroid mode in DYRL? I suppose we can use the TV series as a benchmark. I'll see what I can doo about modifying the line art further. One gets blown away outside the window while Hikaru is confronting Minmay just as the final battle begins. Right before (or after?) he slaps her. H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VII didn't have that large exhaust on the side (usually seen with turboprop engines), as you can see in the pic below. Thanks Pat! I'm really glad you like it. I honestly didn't know what to do with the Fokker entry as far as the engine. I just filled in the statistics based on the real Fokker DVII, but there's no way to know for sure exactly what is powering the thing. A turboprop engine makes sense given what you've presented here, so maybe I'll just put in a generic "turboprop engine" for the entry. Not sure if we can be any more specific than that.

Mr March Posted April 7, 2007 Author Share Posted April 7, 2007 (edited) Gaaaahhh, the scene Hurin refers to actually shows the CF with the black shoulders. Worse still, it shows the CF with the lengthwise black stripe on the arms. THis actually contradicts and earlier shot clearly showing a CF in fighter mode without black arm stripes. This is tragic Looks like I'm gonna have to show both variants. Edited April 7, 2007 by Mr March Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr March Posted April 7, 2007 Author Share Posted April 7, 2007 Okay mister_e, I fixed the DYRL section, removing the VF-1S Hikaru, and inputing the VF-1A instead. I also added Kakizaki's VF-1A sans FAST Packs. Finally, I added all three slightly different VF-1A Super color schemes, so we should be covered for any eventuality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightmareB4macross Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Hey Mr March, excellent site. But just a few things: - DYRL Section - VF-1A heads should be Movie type and not TV type.

chrono Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Since this is a mecha thread I figured I'd ask this here. The attached image... is this an 'official' design, just an illustrated design from an art book, or is it from a RPG system? I'd like to know because it has several details that I can use for my 3D Regult attempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr March Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 That's a drawing by Kiyomi Tanaka, a designer who worked on Macross Plus. I'm unaware of it's status as far as canon. However, just based on observation and comparison with the few official internal drawings of the Reguld (as well as what is seen of the Reguld's innards in the anime itself), the diagram does not appear to contradict anything established thus far.

Mr March Posted April 21, 2007 Author Share Posted April 21, 2007 The Macross Mecha Manual is running okay for me. When you click on the line that say "Don't Forget To Check The Main Site" it takes you to the splash page for the "UN Spacy Quarter Master's Tactical Database", the main website upon which the Macross Mecha Manual is hosted. The UNSQMTDB is under construction and revision, by briscojr84 and is not part of my own site.

Mr March Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share Posted April 22, 2007 (edited) For some reason your connection is not downloading any of the pictures from the M3. All the gifs, jpgs and other images don't seem to be downloading to your browser. I've logged into the site and double checked the folders. The Banner and Buttons folders have all the images they should. As a test, I've cleared my browser cache and revisited the M3. I did the same for both browsers, Firefox and IE. All the buttons and images downloaded again, so the site is functioning normally. At this point, I'm not sure what I can do to help further. Have you had this problem with the M3 before? Perhaps it's adware or a virus on your computer? Are you browsing from a computer that has my website content blocked for some reason? If direct links to each section works for you, I can provide those. The M3 is a very small website (only 10 sections, including the acknowledgements pages), so posting the various sections is easy. Macross Zero Section SDF Macross Section Macross DYRL? Section Flashback 2012 Section Macross Plus Section Macross 7 Section Features - Icons of Mecha Sub Section Features - Scale Charts Sub Section Humor Section I hope at the very least this helps you.
