if you're looking at the CAD I reposted, I'm pretty sure I accidentally made the image wider than it really is.

I'm sure that quote actually burst his aneurism and A7 died of a massive cerbral hemorage.

I'm pretty sure graham has confirmed this as a limited release.

is that submerged operation thing a standard feature in tanks? and man, the commentary in youtube is horrible. talk about a bunch of ignorant racists.

thanks for the pics. definitely getting these. they look down right sexy.

I have no doubt, it just seems like auto loaders are the "in" thing to have in most recent main tanks.

I wonder if the US army will stick with their no auto loader policy in enlistment rates continue to stagnate.

just hit yes, direct x will go through and check what version you have, then it will have an epiphany and then it will let you continue installing civ4. I'm running civ 4 on a vista box right now, no worries.

nice to see the merkava get some love.

Well, it looks like china wants to make it a three way fight, introducing CH-DVD: http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/09/china-a...n-dvd-standard/ which according to the engadget article, features "advanced copy protection." I thought china and copy protection were mutually exclusive concepts?

meh. Beyond the various problems of the first movie, I just found the kids to be terribly uncharismatic. Something I don't think can be fixed with stuff like a better script, pacing and direction.

I don't mind at all if they do a re-telling of SDFM and feature new designs. If it sucks, it sucks and so what? It's not going to detract from Macross at all. But if it's good then it means a whole crop of new designs and new toys.

yeah, I think it's looking pretty cool. I like the that the entire leg is going to lay flat, unlike the 1/72 where the leg twisted at the thigh. Plus, I'm thinking that proper posing will do a lot to obscure or even negate the broad upper torso, I know I don't notice it in the 1/48 vf-1 when I have mine posed in an A stance.

I almost want a polarizing director to be attached to this project so we can get some proper self righteous moral indignation action going.

Stop trying to use your foul logic and reasoning... I want more emo posts based on fanboy fanaticism!

here's a quick fix I did of the image to try and get rid of the wonky angle:

tampo

people are enthusiastic, because not all of us think that robotech succeeding means death and dishonor to Macross.

I would debate you on which is harder for westerners to pick up, korean or japanese... but I'm guessing this is way off topic already. Anyways, I know a few people who learned japanese SOLELY from watching anime without ever bothering to learn abou the politeness thing and when they used their japanese in front of the parents of our friends, the reaction on some of their faces was classic. One mom just figured that she didn't know any better but one mom (VERY traditional) was just horrified. For anyone one not in the know, a lot of anime uses the familiar form or even "gangster" speak which a polite person would never use when speaking to an adult.

sora aoi as minmei... she is trying to be a jpop singer now.

nice picks! my only suggestion would be "the rock" for kakizaki he could do that raised eye brow thing right before he dies.

For english speakers, korean is the easiest east asian language to pick up as their linguistic sounds overlap the most and the korean alphabet is modular/phonetic. Meaning different characters have specific sounds, rather than characters making up entire words or ideas. Japanese is supposed to be one of the harder languages to become fluent in as there is basically 3 scripts used in everyday life, hiragana, katakana and Kanji. not to mention the occasional "romanji." In contrast, mandarin just has kanji and modern korean is almost 100% hanjul. Though, mandarin is a tonal language and many words will have different meanings depending on the inflection and the context. It can be a little daunting even for koreans and japanese even though chinese is sort of a "root" language for both, since those two languages are not tonal. Anyways, the rosetta stone program, I found, is a pretty effective system for learning a foreign language. It's pretty straightforward and it teaches you to think in the language rather than doing a lot of memorizing and translating.

heh, nowadays, a "final" script is whatever piece of the script they hand the actors 5 mins before shooting begins. I'm guessing they really want to strike while the movie going audience has transformers still on the mind.

yeah, I didn't mean to suggest that the yellowing was due to redemption's mishandling, I was just curious.

how about "awesome?"
