Yes. That's the whole point of primer. Primer is suppose to give a paintable surface to something so that you can paint it. For smaller lesser seen pieces? That's up to you. Half the time I prime the piece, half the time, I don't, especially if it's a joint piece.

Keeping this thread open is fine with me, but we've been arguing based on line-by-line scrutiny on something that has been scrutinized in court and given a ruling. We should just leave this thread as is and wait till something new comes. This thread is a great container for the damn arguement but it's no use beating the dead horse when it's all bones now and buried 6 ft. under.

That is the VT-1C from Macross Dynamite 7. It is a civilian VF. http://www.anime.net/macross/mecha/united_.../vf1/index.html

If it wasn't for those few people here, this thread would die down. As I said on the old boards (and people actually thanked me for breaking the repetetiveness of the thread), you can scrutinize all the documents, line for line, but in the end, it changes nothing. The final ruling is what counts the most. Some people here want to keep going and going, line for line, itemized details of every session of court. But it changes nothing in the final ruling. We can continue this itemized debate for years to come, but all we've done is run around in circles. If those "some people" don't see it that way, I sorry for them. The final say came out almost 11 months ago. I've seen zero, in terms of anything new since then. We can bug Graham to ask Yamato to see what's going on but I can tell you their answer will be, "No Comment", or "We can't talk about it right now.". Now, until something new comes, we can let this thread die, or we can continue to run around in circles, make conjectures based on speculations, come up with "legal interpretations" from people without law degrees or from friends who are lawyers and play this track on a continuous repeat till hell freezes over. Now, if "you" people insist on continuing this, you will be wasting our time, your time, Shawn's bandwidth and many other things. The absolute best thing for this thread is to let it die until something new comes. Nothing we say will change the rulings. What's done is done. Let it be.

Organic mecha is always possible.

Don't know about the "active" part, but yes the Grand Cannons still exist (IIRC, there is still one in Brazil, Africa). Active? Most likely no. Heck, they barely had the one in Alaska up and running by SWI.

Hikaru's voice actor was replaced: http://www.anime.net/macross/characters/i/...#ichijyo_hikaru Voice (Sony PlayStation 2 game): Kenji Nojima But, I think out of respect for Mr. Hase, Mr. Kawamori will not continue with the Hikaru-character beyond what has been established. He will revisit certain events, but I don't think he wants to go beyond that. I tend to agree with you on this Pat. What Kawamori has done, time and time again, with his own creations is create new interpretations of the story.

No. I don't think so. Any Macross project can come out of BW. However, Studio Nue would have to go through BW if they continued Macross. To me Studio Nue is just a bunch of guys pitching a story or pushing out ideas. They don't really "exist" as a production company, IMO. Besides design (story and design lineart), they probably only go as far as planning. They rely on companies like Big West to back them financially and with animation studios. If Studio Nue wanted to use Sunrise, Studio Nue would have to buy the entire Macross franchise from BW. That would be kinda weird/stupid. It would have to be like Bandai/Sunrise working another Gundam series. Any UC work not involving Tomino would have to be fudged in some way that it wouldn't screw with the Tomino-UC timeline. That's how I see things. Big West owns the Macross franchise, period. If it has the "Macross" name on it, Big West will be involved. The established Macross timeline that we all work with would be that of Studio Nue. So if Big West decides to create a new Macross series without Studio Nue, they sure as hell can. But since it might impact the Studio Nue continuity, it would have to go the way of an alternate universe. Get the idea?

Actually I would say: -Big West owns design linearts and story. Studio Nue is included in Big West.

In any case, the events from "Rainy Night" occur before M0.

They rushed the ending. They could have used one more episode and ended it. Once you get to where Freedom Gundam shows up, the pace starts increasing. One of the nice things about Seed is that for little details, you have to read the Astray manga. But still, they could have put in one more episode into the ending. The fight between Strike vs. Providence, could have gone on a little longer for me to be satisfied. But oh well.

In my experience, it's always best to paint first before you assemble. For me, I take it all the way through the painting stage before I start assembling (minus touch up, applying clear coats, etc). Depending on the piece, you can assemble it and paint it afterwards but I find that to be prone to errors so I just paint, paint, add panel lines and major details, then assemble.

I'll just wait till Episode 3 comes out before I pick up another Essentials Guide.

Ground Effective Reinforcement of Winged Armament with Locomotive Knee-joint I kid you not. http://www.anime.net/macross/story/glossary/index.html

Those are Destroids. Destroid Cheyenne according to the official site.

Looks like we'll finally see SV-51s launching from the sub too....

Kinda hard to tell. A disorganized-look to me so it might be space dock. There are no ruins in M0. Just the AFOS relic.

Need I mention that a good number of anime viewers will probably end up not buying official releases after downloading or buying HK bootlegs...

Did it ever occur to you to check the official site or Bandai's site? http://www.bandaivisual.co.jp/macrosszero/.../m_dtroyed.html http://bigwest.macross.co.jp/zero/ They've got some nice pics there. No stats at the moment though.

In reference to pic in 1st post: Whoa...someone aged...badly....

Everybody makes one of these threads. Don't worry about it.

Notes about the name "Macross" and other little things can be found at the bottom of this page

IIRC, it was a quick run down of the Macross timeline that went up to just before M7 began to air. There isn't much in there that isn't covered at the Compendium. It's a collector's item.

She's quite under-age you sick puppy....
