Let's keep the series whining/counter-argument/retort/etc. to the series discussion thread.

There's no name in Macross. In real life, it's just called eye-tracking.

Is it not seating properly or is there something preventing you from making it flush? Is it too loose?

[LonE] released their FLAC today. [LonE] ​_Kanno​_Yoko,​_Sheryl​_Nome​_starring​_May'n,​_Nakajima​_Megumi,​ _Sakamoto​_Maaya​_-​_Macross​_Frontier​_O.S.T.​_2​_Nyan​_Tora​_[w​ _scans]​_(FLAC).rar

Yeh, it's Poison (which is noted on the page).

Maybe a light sea gray (Tamiya XF-25) with a touch of blue or a mix of light sea gray and intermediate blue perhaps? After seeing keita's early work, I ended up liking that gun metal color on some weapons.

*must resist temptation to lock thread* Really though, the Sound Boosters are just designed to fly to their respective VFs and dock. There's really nothing terribly fancy about them.

I would actually re-paint the hands to match the inner frame color. As for the weapons, I normally repaint that to something a bit more darker gray/gunmetal gray.

I didn't think that they anticipated someone actually shooting the image...

I think you guys are confusing stealth with camouflage. Grace's DE on Galia 4 was optical camouflage, not stealth. Battle Galaxy was probably using active stealth to reduce/eliminate it's radar signature, optical camo to avoid unwanted eyes, and then the holographic projection of Ranka.

Unfortunately, Mariya Takeuchi's album, "Expressions" seems to have knocked the OST to 2nd. But, the goal is to remain in the top 3, and hopefully, beat out OST vol. 1's record (linky)

IIRC, Miho was referring to a fully-charged main cannon shot.

I'll leave out the production reasons for VF designs. It's usually merchandising, need to be creative, or something involving LEGOs. As for in-universe stuff, the VF-0, VF-9, VF-22, VF-5000, VF-3000 also had the frontal cockpit. So it's not just the VF-1 or the VF-11. The VF-1's leg design is somewhat dangerous. The fact that the leg can separate from the fighter is somewhat hazardous. True, as the hydraulic is passing the leg to the hip joint, it is always connected. But if the hip joint fails to connect, there's a problem. If the hydraulic connector releases the leg too early, there goes your leg/engine.

Yeh.

I re-encoded the [Nipponsei] release to something a bit more size-friendly for portable music players (MP3 VBR). You'll find it in the first post of the Series discussion thread.

Unfortunately, the big time for anime conventions is over (usually during summer). Maybe next year.

They also killed Sylar...but not current Sylar.

This thread is more like entertaining the thought of a Macross-type movie for Western audiences. If you want a live action Robotech movie, well, we got a thread for that.

Who wants tuna buns!?

Improved barrier systems, improved weapons, improved defenses (NMCs are stealth carriers for starters), control systems, etc.

They brought back Adam. The only decent character to come out from last season.

Replicating that shiny gold is really hard. Many modelers I've seen in magazines or websites end up recoating in Tamiya champagne gold or a mix. The best I can say is try silver and then a clear yellow or similar color. Most modelers I've seen end up repainting it with a straight gold color.

Well, now we're just comparing apples and oranges. Comparing Battlestars to New Macross-class.
