    Jet mode looks like crap, color-wise, IMHO. It's a mish-mash of random parts. Instead of "red with white accents" it's like they had a red F-4, a white F-4, and tossed them together with some random black bits too. Plus, it has "KO yellow" accents. (you know, that almost flourescent lemon yellow paint). It's also a lot less cohesive in arm mode----NECIO's digibash (and any truly G1 version) (and the G1 toy) was a RED arm with some white accents. Again, this is a mish-mash of random red and white parts now: Overall, it just give me that "KO vibe" due to the classic 4-color random mix of lemon yellow, generic blue, bright red, and white parts. True, the original had all those colors---but the ratio and specific hues used made a big difference. It was a red F-4. This is---a clown F-4. I'm going to post it again----it's clear they tried to copy NECIO's design, but failed in the most important areas (RED intakes and tailplanes, and not using bright lemony yellow) (also, it's amazing how the subtle change to the tailfin makes a huge difference in how it looks---red leading edge vs striped)

    No jet mode pic, and I still think red intakes would look so much better in jet mode.

    Nope, something's wrong, don't force the needle. I'll let more airbrush-experienced members trouble-shoot.

    I tried OpenDNS for a little while, until I realized it was causing my issues with Xbox Live.

    Yellow+purple is still a horrible combination with most shades.

    Well, if I had been able to pre-order one, I'd be cancelling it. I much preferred the green, but I *hate* the change in the yellow. Fokker/Jolly Rogers yellow isn't "yellow". It's orange-yellow. That was even its official name years ago. (nowadays it's "insignia yellow" but it used to be called "orange-yellow") That's an issue Bandai has always had, but Yamato usually got right---using a rich orange-yellow for Fokker's colors.

    Or instead of pure blackest black, why not a navy blue, as is the traditional US police uniform in many(all?) US cities.

    DX VF-25G

    David Hingtgen replied to zulu's topic in Toys

    They painted that section on Ozma's instead of molding it in the appropriate shade of grey IIRC, so I don't think the mold's set up the way it needs to be to allow for the glove being a different color for the wing. It really seems like the mold is designed for Alto's scheme. Everything else uses LOTS of paint. Whereas the 1/72 kit is split up so you can get like 80-90% color accuracy with no paint.

    Ordered the ASUS N56U, Newegg had a 20 buck off coupon for it today, so that made it *much* cheaper than the 66.

    Up again, just got mine. Go now! http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=15546036&sku=13931381
  11. David Hingtgen
    Ignoring price, is there any reason to buy the N56U over the N66U?
  12. David Hingtgen
    Well, when all you have are 500 BB's, and everyone in town already has one, sales go down...
  13. David Hingtgen
    At this point, I'm just waiting for the -19F to go on sale... (I currently own no -19's of any kind despite it being my fave valk, and it may be a long time before a v3 YF-19 comes out)

    Useful shot for size comparison:

    Am I nuts, or do Russians apparently not attempt to brake when there's an impending collision?
  17. David Hingtgen
    That's the J-21, their F-22 rip-off. Previously seen was the much-cooler and bigger J-20.

    OK, router time. Mainly interested in compatability/reliability over raw speed/range. That said, this is everything that may be hooked up to it in the foreseeable future: ipad iphone X360 PS3 Any suggestions? I have seen a few reports than Netgear's uber-popular N900 routers don't like iphones. I am strongly considering true dual-band due to the latest iphones being 5ghz capable. Also--do external antennas matter? Some routers don't seem to have them, but if they make even a 5% difference, I'm all for having them.

    Best VF-11B scheme out there is the Ravens: http://www.macross2.net/m3/macrossga/variant-vf-11b-vfx2-yellow.htm I keep wishing Yamato would make it.
  20. David Hingtgen
    In case anyone else is seeing red X's:
  21. David Hingtgen
    J-21: The J-20 looks cooler, and at least isn't a 100% pure copy of something else. It's so close, I wonder if it has problems with the pilot's oxygen system...
  22. David Hingtgen
    Didn't that appear in Robocop 2, and not the original?
  23. David Hingtgen
    Nah, you'll get more hilarious droids™ in Clone Wars and like it.
  24. David Hingtgen
    Hmmn. Wouldn't work QUITE as well on a VF-1 I think, having no tailplanes.
  25. David Hingtgen
    I clicked just so I could see a limited-release valk that actually had "add to cart" there.
