    No kidding. From the various forums it seems like the retailers (and Hasbro) are already "holding back" for the next movie. Which means nothing on the shelves right now.

    It's red. Just like Char's Zaku.

    Question for those who have some of the Evangelion figs: Are the faces/heads/hair swappable between characters, or does each one have a unique enough shape etc that you can't mix and match? (and if anyone has the 2.0 Revoltechs, same question)
  5. David Hingtgen
    They could include many schemes on a single decal sheet---if the modeler is intended to paint the leg striping, then there's very few markings needed for the basic Mac+ and M7 schemes. PS--yeah, I'd prefer a Perfect Grade battroid mode MAXL from Bandai, but I'll take what I can get.

    Yup. I still have an extra un-built 1/144, so that I can do a better job than the last one. As for the standard VF-11: The thing is, the "official" side-view you see just doesn't match the animation. The VF-11 has big, triangular fins. But that one "official side-view drawing" every publication uses as a reference, doesn't match at all. If Hase bases the kit off that---it won't match Plus/7/VFX/etc. Here, I made this a while ago---it's not right for SIZE but it is correct for SHAPE---the top is the original/official drawing, the bottom is my "tweak" to make it actually match what we see on-screen and in Kawamori's sketches:

    I finally got around to sorting all the remaining accessories to my US-release MSIA figs and am going to sell off almost all of them, please have a look if you're interested: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=34915 Mostly from 0079 and UC OVAs, a few from Wing.

    Are you going to light it up? Mine has LightSheet deflector and nacelles, bulbs everywhere else. Also, there are many upgrades available for that kit. http://www.dlmparts.com/excelsiorvoyagerds9.html The aft torpedo launcher alone is worth it for the $10 IMHO. It's a drop-in replacement for the kit's part and is 100x better.
  9. David Hingtgen
    Possibly. It started acting up after noon and my PC wasn't on this morning.

    Just updated itself a minute ago. See how it does. eugimon--how often do you auto-update? If you have it to like every 6 hours or something, maybe you haven't gotten it yet, and you'll just skip over it to the newest one.

    Twitter's gone nuts about it. Avast just blocked Wikipedia itself from me...
  12. David Hingtgen
    Anyone else getting a lot of Avast warnings this afternoon? I am getting a zillion HTML:Script-inf warnings (mostly from forums) ever since the last auto-update. It even says my ISP's email site has it. (which really sucks, as I'm not going to type in my password until I'm sure it's clean) Couple of wikis, too. I'm betting Avast screwed something up, more than a bunch of places got infected with something all of a sudden. But, with the massive SQL-injection that happened recently, it could actually be a bunch of sites got hit. You know, Avast has been making me more and more irritated lately. Anyone have suggestions? I used AVG years ago but found Avast was better. May go back to them. ::edit:: Non-working link to one of the sites I went to---Gundam Wiki: hxxp://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/MS-06RD-4_Zaku_II_Prototype

    I've used that exact decal sheet on an Excelsior Refit---they're very thin and "stretchy" as decals go, but didn't seem especially fragile. I didn't need blue paint for anywhere but the clear parts for "warp glow" and the edges of the pylons. And yes, by the end, half the ship is covered in decal film. But that's not much different from the current trend of using decals for an aztec pattern, where like 90% of the ship is decaled. (they exist for that kit, if you feel like it) Mine's flat-coated. I would never gloss a Trek ship, unless the gloss itself was applied in an aztec pattern and it was the ST:TMP version of 1701. (since that's how it was)
  14. David Hingtgen
    "AS-4 gray-violet" I'd bet a lot of money on being WW2 Luftwaffe "grau-violett". Might work though.
  15. David Hingtgen
    Is there a good match for "common purple-grey" like is used on weapons, thrusters, etc? I usually use Testor's Intermediate Blue but it's just a smidge too "blue" and not "lavender". Has to come in a spray can, too. Would like to find something from Tamiya, as their spray cans are just that much better/smoother.
  16. David Hingtgen
    Slightly OT, but why couldn't they have just done this for the MG Epyon: Bandai's video game division seems to remember how it looked on TV. This design is slightly tweaked, but it is SLIGHT.
  17. David Hingtgen
    That alone's not enough. It'd have to be pretty much un-articulated as well. It's easy to light up a torso. Feet and hip armor are much harder.
  18. David Hingtgen
    I love light-up stuff on Gundams. I just don't like 99% of the recent 00/SEED designs... Now if they can just figure out a way for a light up Unicron destroy mode...
  19. David Hingtgen
    IMHO, time is more important than grade. Modern MG's blow away earlier MG's and even some PG's. There's HGUC's that would have been considered MG's a few years ago if they were an inch taller. Simply put--the newer the better, period.

    Just a bit of necromancy here, but Voyage of the Dawn Treader is out on DVD/Blu-Ray today. Yes, a Friday.
  21. David Hingtgen
    Getting OT, but I made this pic myself. It's movie Starscream and Prime to scale, in vehicle mode.
  22. David Hingtgen
    The first one has no FAST packs, it's just the bare valk. That's why the 2nd one costs so much more.
  23. David Hingtgen
    Got my package from HLJ, a day earlier than FedEx said. (3 instead of 4) (FedEx was only 2 bucks more than SAL so it was a no-brainer)
  24. David Hingtgen
    There's another thread discussing it at the SW:TOR forums. Seems fairly widespread.
  25. David Hingtgen
    Anyone else get an email from EA in German about their account? I found this message but nothing else discussing it: http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/5549100.page#13186626 I too am guessing it may be related to the massive hack of Epsilon's email addresses. Which sucks, as the one I have associated with EA is my main one.
