A few more clean ups and I'm ready. As far as detail in the visor, I thought about it, but since I want my valks to match I would have to redo all the heads to have detail. It's like if I weather one, I'm gonna have to weather them all...

Henry Fonda was just a great choice for that role.

you might want to send rohby a PM for the heatshield. I know he did a mold for Eternal D's project. You just have to remember that it's gonna be resin, not plastic, so it won't be as strong. But it might be more flexible so putting it back on and off might be more forgiving. Just a thought.

Sorry, I can't answer any of those questions. I took it apart after I broke one of those small fins on the back chest plates. I glued it back on and it looks ok... it would be stonger if it was a recast. So no one tell D please. There's a modified heatshield here and a head thats taken apart. I also need my parts back to start on my Max TV-1A. It looks like it's ready though.

Prince Humperdink.

I decided that I wanted my Max TV-1A to be closer to lineart so I busted up on of my Yamato 1A head. The white is going to be clear green resin.

just the canopy is a recast... Everything else is his master. I just stripped a 1/48 of it's paint for my next custom and I decided to try out the parts... lol... just to see how it looks... besides what can he do... he's in China! MWUAHAHAHA!

Inspiration comes both ways. The fight with the many members of the Ax gang definitely reminded me of the the Agent Smith burly brawl, which I know was a big hit in Japan after seeing the streets lined with Agent Smith wannabees for some convention or something. I dont see why it's so offending to admit that they soak up as much of their cultrure as much as we do theirs.

I haven't figured out how to attach the head yet... I'm suppose to draw the instructions but I didn't get instuctions... lol. All I got was a box with a bunch of small parts. I can't screw the cockpit close until I put the head on, hence the gap. Rohby is recasting the actual canopy, I didn't want to wait. Clear resin takes forever to cure. The kit looks good though. All of the white parts you see are the additional parts for the conversion kit.

Maybe the nuclear football *716... code is something you're suppose to enter in... then you get to talk to someone... I didn't get the number.

This movie was way cool. Funny as hell.

Yeah! It was area code... I forgot... CALLTURK! but it's really CALL TUR... I'll always dial the K for TURK!

In case you missed it: The following takes place between 11PM and 12AM... 11:04 PM Chloe: Air Force One is down. 11:07 PM: Ralph: Mr. Vice President, you have to make preparation to take over the office. Vice President: ah crap... after all these months of not doing anything, now you want me to work. Vice President: Ralph... Weren't you on Airforce One last episode? 11:09 PM: Audrey: You have to go after the nuclear football, it's more important than Marwan... Jack: there's something else... what is it? Audrey: It's Paul, he has to go back to surgery. Jack: Audrey, listen... this is my fault, I took Paul with me hoping he would get shot... er I mean... nevermind, it's my fault! 11:11PM: Jason Gerard: Geez, it's a door with the Seal of the President. Kelly Gerard: It's locked! Jason: There's nothing behind it... its just a door that happen to land right side up. 11:18 PM: Buchanan: I sense some hostility. Is it about Michelle. Tony: Uh yeah! You're tapping my wife bitch! I mean... no hostility here... Buchanan: She still cares about you. Tony: HA! Burn! Buchanan: I still screwed her and probably will again. Tony: Bastid! 11:20 PM: Rescue Team: The President is still alive! Vice President: YES! 11:22 PM: Buchanan: The President is still alive. But he's in no shape to run the country.

I can only shoot and run as fast as I can while you keep calling me! 11:53 PM: Jack: You and your wife have to split up. Jason: Funny that's the reason I brought her out here in the middle of the desert. 11:59 PM: Ralph: Sorry Mr. President. CTU just called and they said that terrorist have the nuclear football. Vice Pesident: Holy crap... this wasn't a good day to stop smoking crack!

They're happy because they had Minmay.... and TV and shopping malls and cars and little robots to clean up after themselves.

Actually, if you are referring to this image . . . . . . that was done by fan favorite cover artist Adam Hughes. Here is a sample of his work along with a link to images of his Wonder Woman covers. Just Say Ah! Wonder Woman Gallery ah.. yeah that's the image... Yeah AH is awesome... I never read the WonderWoman title but his covers for those and the Tomb Raider books are mind blowing. I think they got a younger guy so they can stretch out the franchise if they need to. That brings me back to my hopes that they'll do an all CG JLA movie based on ROss's designs.

you're wrong...

Congrats Egan!

So where's Max, the pilot? I guess he went out to get a piece of Q-Rau pie...

Kevin Spacey in Swimming With Sharks is an absolute d!ck.

I guess, if that's your idea of big improvements. The moveable fingers are really not poseable and don't hold the gun as well as the Gakken's boxing gloves and in any way you pose them the fingers just look athritic. Much like the 1/48s chicken hands. The moveable head is an improvement, but I don't know if I would say that the toy itsel is leaps and bounds from the Gakken. A big improvement would have been ball jointed hips (The pivoting hips are just as a result of the transformation) and a rotating joint at the knee or upper leg that would make the feet point outward correctly. Like I said, the MPC is a lot better in appearance. I like the way the fins in the back connect to one and the paint schemes are accurate. I'd most likely leave this on the shelf and put away the Gakkens when I run out of room.

freakin hell, I didn't know that moved... I didn't count the head and the hands as an improvement that affected poseability.

I believe there are improvements as far as appearance of the Toynami's Alphas, but what's more poseable about it? They have the exact same joints as the Gakkens. The double jointed knees dont bend any more than the Gakkens. Also the Gakkens weren't sturdy like the Chunky Monkeys. The design was flawed at a couple of key places. Like the Knee Guard was really fragile and most of the time they would become floppy. And the hip joints were dependent on two small fragile tabs in the back that almost always broke.
