There are 30" monitors. Anyways, it doesn't matter how much real estate you have, it's the resolution in question. An image will occupy the same proportional amount of space on a 15" as on a 30" given that both monitors have the same resolution.

non standard payloads!

it looks just like the old shoulder hinge. It's just the pin that's been de-knurled.

that makes no sense, but thanks for the advice.

No, "delusional" is thinking your house has no oxygen.

Ah, okay, gotcha.

rather easily actually. A VF-1 with late 80's angular faux futuristic bits tacked on like some over designed gundam is well... keep your gundam out of my macross!

That's neither here nor there. We were specifically talking about why/how film can be remastered to "HD" but something captured in digital "SD" can't be "upscaled" to true HD resolution Yes, just because an image is captured on film doesn't mean it's going to be high resolution. The focus, lighting, composition, subject matter, whether there was any in camera effects like a diffusion screen will affect how successfully a 35mm print can be transferred. This is particularly true of older classics that loved throwing on a diffusion screen every time the leading lady was on screen. Just look at The Sound of Music, "HD" is nearly meaningless when the image is purposefully diffused in order to hide wrinkles and other 'imperfections'. However, that doesn't diminish the general rule that given a scene with the same focus, lighting, composition, etc, the image shot on film will contain more information, color depth, etc, than a digital equivalent.

can't believe you brush paint, great work, looks really clean.

the vf-2ss should be made by Bandai. They've had more experience with Gundams.

vf-17.

It's not really accepting when you have to rewrite half the script to get it to work.

the gold canopy is so yummy.

actually Lucas created that successful movies = successful toys paradigm.

the point is, if you shoot something on film, you can scan it and digitize it to potentially 12 million pixels. When you shoot something on 'HD' you're stuck at whatever resolution you had at the time.

It carries on the themes, though I would argue Mac 7 also carries on theme of cultural integration and pacifism, but it doesn't really fit thematically with the ending of SDF:M and especially with the DYRL ending. Those endings really set up the idea of human/zentradi expansion and cultural rebirth while Mac II shows an inexplicable turtling and militarization of humanity. It's an interesting idea and ripe for drama but it's understandable why fans have a hard time with it, it's such a paradigm shift and one that's not really explained well in the show itself.

thought it was an interesting universe... hated the characters, the story and most of the mecha. Pretty much only enjoyed the music and the VF-2ss

or you could just not keep it in the sun...

looks great, scary story on the yellowing though. I haven't noticed mine yellowing... < crosses fingers >

Film isn't just higher, it's significantly higher, the equivalent of 3 to 12 million "pixels" compared to the 2 million of a 1080p digital source.

elevation for the radar dish thing probably and since the VT is probably the trainer for the VE it makes sense to mount the FAST packs in the same configuration.

I disagree... I don't think your fear is baseless at all.

nice, lots of details. can't wait to see a proper sample transformed correctly.
