    The official pics of the original MP-12 had solid, opaque paint as well. I wouldn't get my hopes up that final production MP-12+ will have any improvement there.

    Now that it's out, and it has been "owned and assembled" for a while, the general consensus for Shuraking is: Stay far, far away. Apparently it's a godawful mess in every sense, in combined mode. Numerous issues, more than simply "applying Future" will fix. Does it look awesome in most pics? Yes, yes it does. I considered buying their Grimlock alone, just to have a really cool Grimlock.

    Well, that worm now has far greater backstory than most of the Ep IV cantina aliens...

    It'll probably be cheaper to buy a real SNES, and the games you want, than the MiniSNES' scalp-rate...

    Some years ago, a local video game store got ahold of some new-old-stock SNES games. Cases of them. I was there for the unboxing. NG trilogy was one of the cases. Nothing else was nearly as good, but I picked up a couple others.

    I have Ninja Gaiden Trilogy MIB, could have just asked me.

    Is Mr Dissolved Putty similar to Mr Surfacer?

    Prime's trailer has always been too tall and mis-proportioned. MP-10 is actually worse than the G1. Also---is the cab striping supposed to "go that low"? I think it'd be much better if the bottom 'riveted' area was red. That'd off-set both the gunmetal area, and the headlights. ::edit:: Like this:

    What where?

    There's a lot of 747 parts in there. They bought 2 747-400's from United that had sequential serial numbers so as to be as identical as possible. The cockpits are from them, as are the engines and much of the landing gear.

    I do like the incorporation of chaff/flare--a simple mechanic that should add some depth/strategy. (until the FXA-77 Uberzeug is unlocked, which'll have 256 of each...)

    Anyone know a good way to mod the 25F/S Super Pack hip armor to work more like the revised versions? Or is it just not possible without major alterations?

    Ironically, the MS conference gave us by far the best look at Anthem, and I'm interested---but I'll pick it up on PS4.

    Looks like just how my Yamato YF-21 thighs cracked.

    Far more arcade than sim.

    Glad I saw the 56FW fly their F-35 when I did---they were just grounded again today. (Oxy probs again)

    Will do, but it'll be a while.

    I thought so too. (Rod had mis-aligned halves, not circular). I sanded the heck out of it. Helped, but far from fixed. Eventually started creating a gap---seemed offset---gap below, strained above (looking from side, with fin folded). Heating and bending the "plate below the rod" up a bit, fixed it perfectly.

    I just got Thundercracker last night. Tailplanes weren't upside down, but left one ALWAYS popped right out when moving it. Tried a bunch of fixes, but in the end the only thing that really worked was heating the lower "finger" of the hinge and curving it up a bit, to "wrap" the rod-like part of the tailplane a bit more. May bend the right-side one to match now... (but just my luck, that'd make the right side NOT work...) Nose section pretty good on mine, much better than the actual MP-07 for sure. Right wing-root extension doesn't seem to want to stay flush alongside the intake though. Need to disassemble it anyways to paint it more G1 (black accents, not navy!) and may be able to tweak a few things while I'm at it. I hope the pins and screw-covers come out easier than on an actual MP seeker. I too am tempted to remove/alter the "no over" markings, but I do think it does have the same Future-esque gloss coating that real MP-06 and MP-07 do---and so most removal methods would strip the coating, too, leaving a bunch of obvious dull spots where they were.

    Just a few pics from this weekend: They at least allowed the F-35 to do a mini-demo (nowhere is getting a full demo, not this year) and there were two notables: 1. Max acceleration demo. "minimum clean speed", around 200kts, approaching end of runway--hits full burner, hits 500kts by the end of runway. (if announcer is to be believed) 2. Not even sure what to call it, but ----go fast, hit rudder hard left and hit burner, and just "drift" a bit, with the nose pointing way to the left while still traveling straight ahead, before the burner really kicks in and it starts flying the way it's pointing. A "power crab"? PS---as you can see, pink canopy tint is totally a thing...
  22. David Hingtgen
    So where/what exactly would you sand to prevent that? The "tube" that goes through the middle part?
  23. David Hingtgen
    Just like the VF-31A's are missing their hardpoints? "Time-rushed animators not properly mirroring things or covering up gaps" explains a lot more things better than "they MEANT to do that!"
  24. David Hingtgen
    I imagine it's related to the "SWS" markings etc we see----neither the Japanese designers nor Chinese factory workers, are likely to notice that a stylized English font is upside down, or even has any "meaning" and isn't simply a artistic/symbolic marking.

    I *loved* Scrambled Valkyrie. Still one of the all-time best SNES soundtracks I've heard. Modded my SNES just for that game. There's no official difficulty setting, but it's very much: Easy mode: use Max Hard mode: use Milia
