    Bandai DX VF-31

    Good point. It does look like a traditional fighter, but the color schemes are hard to describe... Kind of like the 30th anniversary or F-1 colors.
  2. Can the trinket run a combo of analog LEDs and Neopixels?

    So big. It will look great with my 1/60s.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Has anyone seen a VF-31 with Alto/Hikaru color scheme? 12 eps in and I'm still not bonding with Hayate's shade of blue. Guess I'm too old fashioned.
  5. Cool, the 5 V version can run on input of 5-16V. That should make it work with my setup, because I use a variable 12v DC adapter. So I dont have to worry about accidentally burning the 5V Trinket. Correct?

    Bandai DX VF-31

    The first Super Parts to my memory came around ep 7, and they had Sound Boosters as well. So I wonder if it will be one package as extra parts, or if they will drag it out.
  7. I recast the second bridge with clear resin to imitate some of the lager 1/500 scale kits. There are actually some big bubbles, but the LED conceals them. I got a better cast on the third attempt. This one's a keeper.
  8. I'll get whatever you show in the How To. Shortest distance between two points...

    My thoughts exactly. That's not real die-cast. But explain difference between forged and cast. Are they mixing plastic with the "die-cast".
  10. I'll get that book if its nube friendly. Cant make heads or tails of the How To's on their site. I think they expect people have a history with Arduino, et al.
  11. The shade of blue looks a bit lighter in the video compared to the images. I have a feeling this will be the most expensive valk accessory ever.
  12. Amazing. Looking forward to it. If you could add a "beginners" Intro to this dealing with setting up the Adafruit and just one neopixel , then we go on from there to your contents. That would be great!
  13. This isn't working for me. The sculpt is too gaudy and the blue is too dark. Let's see if it grows on us.

    Macross figures

    "No more figures, but maybe just these." Too funny. We need a figures-anonymous thread!
  15. My first experience with airbrushing. Beautiful tool... if I can get the thing to just spray evenly. My 9 yr old daughter's Beargal. I'm under a lot of pressure here to not screw it up!
  16. Nice work. What is this WH lesson? Online?

    Does Plamax mean these will be the same small model kits in 1/20 scale as the recent Minmay?

    That's one big hunk of Monster.
  19. A little bit of amateur recasting. I hope the resin got in the funnel. Looks very tight.
  20. Is this a comedy thread? Because Toynami just makes me laugh.
  21. Is PMMA the same as Solid core sheathed Fibres?

    I'm looking at the currency rates for us about to bring in the Monster. Looking at the chart, the USD/JPY rate is already back to the July week-pre-Brexit levels of 106 USD/JPY. So that's good, because it fell to 100 USD/JPY the day after the vote. However, what's interesting in that the rate was already trending down below the 120 USD/JPY level from February 2016. Which means our toys were going to be more expensive for the foreseeable regardless of Brexit. There could be two general reasons for the rate coming down back in February before Brexit, 1) currency markets expected Brexit will succeed and bet on it doing so, or 2) "other" economic market reasons caused rate to go down, irrespective of Brexit.

    Gulp! I deny that this is even remotely possible. The brain cannot handle it.
  24. OMG. So much skill and talent. Did you use line art for the design?
  25. Just what I always wanted.
