  1. And here's the official site. Graham
  2. Original ACE 2 thread from August 12th. Although it is in the Other Anime Forum, not the games forum for some reason. But anyway, thanks for the nice magazine scan Solscudd007. Graham
  3. Whether or not A1 is co-admin material is solely up to Shawn to decide. In the end, whatever we may think of A1 is irrelevant. The thing is Macrossworld does urgently need somebody to do regular site updates. I'm going to be contacting (or attempting to contact) Shawn sometime within the next week and let him know that 3 people (A1, Mechamaniac & Azrael) are interested in the position. I'll then urge Shawn to contact each of those 3 people and hopefully he can make his mind up fairly quickly which person or persons he wants to give the position to. Graham

    Vf-0s From Yamato

    The dedicated Yamato 1/60 VF-0S picture & information thread is here. Lots of pics to be seen. Graham
  5. There's been posts on MW about ACE2 already, quite a while ago. Unfortunately, the game only has the VF-1J and VF-1S.....yawn! No Mac Zero, Mac Plus or Mac 7 mecha. Graham
  6. Very nice. I agree, it's always nice to see non-canon paint schemes. Graham
  7. I'm not familiar with the manga, only the anime. Is the Gigantic Dark supposed to by an upgrade of Guyver III or what? Graham
  8. Alex, can you remember if the 3 missiles in the forearm armor were blue? Graham
  9. If this was the good old days, I'd have a sample in hand already and a review up by now.....grumble, grumble, grumble. Graham
  10. Grab your camera, take some pics and post them please. Graham
  11. Agent ONE, I do hope you realise that if you get the co-admin position, you may need to do updates related to Macross 7 merchandise Graham
  12. Yes, because Shawn, Myersjesse and myself have very little free time to update the site these days. Graham
  13. Agent One & Mechamaniac. If you are both serious about this, please PM me your email addresses and cell phone numbers. I will then call Shawn on his cell phone to discuss the matter with him, letting him know you are both interested in the co-admin position. I'll pass your email and cell phone info to him, so he can contact you directly (if he chooses) to discuss the matter with you both. Graham
  14. It's not a P9, it's a VP-70 Graham.
  15. If you seriously want to be a co-admin Agent One, you will need to get in touch with Shawn by either email or phone and discuss it with him directly. The same applies to anybody else interested in the position. This is not something that Jesse or myself have the authority to approve. I presume you have at least some basic familiarity with Dreamweaver or Front Page (or other similar software) so that you can actually update the main site? Also, Shawn has requested that people interested in the co-admmin position have knowledge of the following: - "MW runs on redhat 9, has uses php,mysql, and apache. Experience needed (not expert, but at least some familiarity-google smart + common sense would be fine)" Lastly, you actually need to have the free time and the willingness to help maintain the site and work on semi-regular updates.

    1/48 Vf-1d Completed!

    Fantastic work as usual Kurt, but it's just crying out for custom TV Hikaru and Minmay figures in the cockpit. I'll get this up in the MW custom toy gallery, as soon as I re-install Dreamweaver on my PC (probably be after Xmas now though). BTW, can't wait to see your custom paint schemes on the 1/48 GBP and 1/60 VF-0S when they are released. Graham
  17. Apparently, the Miami Vice Bren Ten was hard chromed, not stainless. Info again from the Bren-Ten.com website. All-Stainless Bren? There are a number of interesting facts about the Bren Ten used on Miami Vice. First off, the gun used by the character Sonny Crockett appears to be an all-stainless steel gun. None of the production guns made by Dornaus & Dixon were all-stainless. Because of gauling problems between stainless steel slides and frames Dornaus & Dixon opted to go with a stainless frame and a carbon steel slide, and on ALL the full-sized guns these slides are blued, without exception. The Special Forces Light, however, has a slide that is hard chromed rather than blued. This is the finish that is also on the Miami Vice Bren. From what I understand, Sonny Crockett's pistol received this treatment to make it more visible during night filming. (This is the same reason it was decided to repaint his Ferrari Testarossa white which was originally black like the Ferrari Daytona Spyder 365 GTS/4 that was used in the first few seasons.) Graham
  18. I've long had an interest in the Bren Ten. For those that care, the exact reasons that the manufacturer went out of business are covered on the Bren-Ten.com website. I've copied the relevant text below: - The Demise of Dornaus & Dixon And The Bren Ten While it is fact that Dornaus & Dixon Enterprises, Inc. filed bankruptcy and closed its doors in 1986, the reasons for this have long been unclear and misunderstood. One popular belief, often refered to in the gun magazines of the time, was that the unavailability of magazines was the primary reason. While problems with the mags were another "nail in the coffin" so to speak, they were not the main issue. Simply put, the company lacked sufficient funding to continue operation. Dornaus & Dixon started taking advance orders (along with payments for these orders) at least as early as 1982. This created huge pressures to deliver and because of this guns were shipped prior to any kind of endurance testing. If this testing had been done beforehand all the various problems which surfaced subsequently could have been addressed during the development stage, before any guns ever got into the hands of consumers. But instead what happened was that Dornaus & Dixon were forced to scramble in order to fix problems with guns that had already been paid for while still trying to fill long paid for orders. Of these problems the first generation mags were just one of the more publicized issues. Basically the company was trying to ship guns to buyers who's money had long since been spent while at the same time trying to fix guns (and magazines) that had already been shipped and were now being returned for warranty work. This equates to labor and product going out and no money coming in. So, with bankruptcy papers filed, the company of Dornaus & Dixon Enterprises, Inc. shut down operation and the Bren Ten semiautomatic pistol became yet another piece of firearm history. Graham
  19. LOL......so Tike was a necrophiliac then. Graham
  20. So what percentage of the film is new footage then? Graham
  21. The Bren Ten 10mm, while being a nice weapon, was by all accounts not terribly reliable with blank ammo, which was why the switch to the uber-reliable S&W 645 in seasons 3 & 4. Graham
  22. I actually have 4200+ posts on this forum, plus 2,800+ posts on the old MW forum, which gives me a combined total of over 7,000 posts. Ain't too many members can say they post that much. And where's the fun in posting if I can't offend people every now and then? Graham
  23. 'Tis true. You don't want to be standing behind him. Graham
