    Specifically, a very Su-24-ish vibe IMHO: And hey look, it can pretend it's an Sv-262 as well:

    If Nora's ends up hot pink with orange stripes, I won't be surprised...
  3. David Hingtgen
    That's some serious light piping (and the blinds are closed).

    Speaking as a HUGE Trypticon fan---it's just the G1 toy with more panel lines. I'm not seeing a whole lot of improvements.
  5. David Hingtgen
    Either/both would be must-buys.

    When did Gunpla instructions start having English translations in them?

    WWI through present, best to use a "standard" iron cross:

    All done: (Camera phone on kitchen table---will do better/proper pics later) Edit---probably better if I use an angle that actually shows the hollowed-out antenna:

    Doing the same. In-progress pic: Edit:. Think that's about as good as it'll get:

    Hmmn. I just barely started scoring, after thinking about the drill method. Abandoned it, but may re-try, now that I hear drilling works.

    Me too. Presumably it was green-lighted due to Delta making a lot of money. Which means the big-wigs probably looked and saw "more idols than ever=bigger sales=make the next series even LESS about pilots/valks/space exploration"

    Swirly plastic, is, as a rule, not heating it hot enough, and/or not enough pressure to truly mix it while liquid and injecting from multiple points into the cavity. The technical term is "flow marks". But it seems to have affected J4ZZ's feet pretty bad. I don't know many companies that can do metallic silver plastic without getting noticeable flow marks---even Bandai gets it wrong sometimes.

    1. Mirage 2. Battroid mode 3. A new super pack, or at least a new weapons pod to replace the standard "gun+transmitter" combo.

    Macross figures

    Yup, about 48 hours after my private warehouse shipment deadline passes, Mirage is released. Sigh.

    And I think it'll achieve that by having a lot more parts-forming and combiner-only kibble.

    Well, I'll give you points for "pilot". (I like trains almost as much as I like planes, and many years I'll have spent more on trains than on TF's) Also, I've never been able to pinpoint what exactly, but something about that toy's eccentric rod has always bugged the heck out of me. (Besides the entire motion being flat/printed/cartoony). ::edit::. Think I got it. It's actually the main rod/piston. It's WAY above the drive axles. It couldn't actually drive the wheels, it'd have severely asymmetric thrusts.

    That is not technically a train as there is no rolling stock. That's not a train car, it's the locomotive's tender. A locomotive by itself (the tender is considered part of it), is not a train.

    Season two is out and no discussion? Lance has an awesome line in ep 2 but I won't spoil it.
  20. David Hingtgen
    Yup. From Planet X.

    Buy armor/super parts now, valks later, if you're pressed for cash. Valks get re-released, and used ones come up for sale regularly. But the extra stuff? You get one chance at them. I bought both the armor and super parts for my Alto, before I managed to get an Alto. Had to wait a bit, but Alto's -25 was eventually re-released, twice. His -29 has at least one re-release. But any of his parts packs? Just the once.

    Plastruct makes a cement just for ABS. But in my experience it only sorta works on Yamato plastic. But most cements don't work at all, so...
  24. David Hingtgen
    And Alto was skull four, but flew 007.

    Exactly half-way between Messer's and Hayate's. Blue and black striping. Modified reaper.
