    Here's a few noob questions.. So escort vessels for emigrant fleets and Megaroads obviously began kicking into production early on. This includes updated versions of the good ole ARMD and new carrier designs . These escort vessels also begin to include stealth carriers. When did stealth carriers come into production? It looks like they appear during or after the introduction of the YF-19 & YF-21. Were stealth carriers being user in conjunction with the VF-14 or VF-17 prior ? Another question. What type of other carriers or escort vessels ( besides the ARMD) had reached early production or been online, at the time of the first Megaroad ? It's seems like just modified Zentradi ships and a handful of updated ARMD's are all that had been done , as of the first Megaroad launch. I'm trying to get a chronological picture of the history and evolution of Macross escort and long range vessels.

    Yes indeed . I believe it ! Bandai will be scratching their heads when these sell like hot cakes.

    Yak Deculture 😮 This is how you know the folks at Arcadia are true fans. I need it !

    That looks cool ! I don't see it being an issue as the pin point barrier is doing all the work..

    lol. Bravo ! 👍🏼

    Thanks very much for that info @Seto Kaiba ! This is the exact kind of research I'm needing for my future diorama works. As there's really not any detailed info on the Megaroad-01 or the even enough (IMO) on SDF-1 , I'm forced to extrapolate. Based on in universe designs and theorizing what the progression in design would be. Hence my earlier questions about launch docks , launch arms, etc.. We have a lot more info on newer ships and tons of anime to study from M7 to Frontier. But recreating something like a Megaroad-01 hangar is difficult ! Recreating an ARMD hangar would be much easier. Even one that was escorting the Megaroad-01 would be easier..

    If I don't want to be subjected to spoilers, I don't read the topic. It's common sense. For instance, I avoided The Witcher thread until I'd seen it all. And i won't look at the Star Wars thread until I've seen the newest episode. And for something on going, i use the spoiler feature. Occasionally the spoiler feature won't work on my phone, so i will head my comments with "Spoiler Alert " .

    Bad batch cameo would be cool.

    I have no idea. But mouse ears is only invested (at this point) in the new trilogy story line for the sake of things like existing toy lines and theme parks, IMO. As far as adding new content and original stories, the new Sequels are dead. A wall at the end of a lost alley. And while they entertain us with post ROTJ and Post ROTS content, get ready for the high republic stories to drop. Probably movies and tv series. The comics are already out. They're not bad.

    Unfortunately the sequels are canon. Of course that's why I'm more interested in everything that's happened before TFA. The new sequels are just a bad spice trip Luke had..

    I'm feeling ya @derex3592 ! Brush marks suck ! I use the airbrush most of the time, but it's ridiculous for certain applications. I'm still trying to work out my technique with brushing paint.
  13. Bolt
    It's looking awesome !

    I would add that even though the Republic has X-Wings patrolling here and there in the outer rim. I think they have even less of a grip on Tatooine than the Empire there, when there was a garrison of Storm troopers stationed there. And even then , Tatooine ( and the outer rim) was pretty lawless. I think you're right on that first part. Or maybe I'm just being hopeful.

    Indeed. Scribing in panel lines can be quite intimidating. You may notice the gray putty on my Lancer . Those are panel lines i flubbed or hated. But, re scribing existing or faded lines is usually much easier, as there's usually a faint line for your blade to follow, at least.

    Thanks again. Yes , it's always been vague, at best. It's a wonder they never took a factory with them. But actually I'm very curious about the Oberth and Northampton vessels. I know it's very much guess work. Um ya.

    Great episode! Ok many thoughts and impressions, but I'll just throw my 2 cents at a few points.. I very much enjoyed the pacing of this episode, i felt there was a healthier balance to and fro. And I'm liking the Naboo fighter more and more.

    Thanks @no3Ljm , much appreciated. Every bit helps !

    Glad to see you back at it @pengbuzz thats a fine kit to get into ! The missiles are easy to remove, like the shoulders , just don't glue them. I've got my kit ready for putty and sanding. Unfortunately it's about 3 kits down the queue . And on that note, a little update on the Spider Bug. It's close to finished. Needs waterslides and some touch up/ light weathering. Then I'll glue the large center arm and top mounted radar. I drilled and glued pins into the 4 sockets and drilled holes into the ball joints of the arms for pose ability and ease of storage. Aaaaannd the Lancer. It's cleaned up a bit more . Some color and i added some panel lines, as the original mold seems a little spars on details. Although it's pretty spot on with the line art. So no complaints, i just wanted more. Here's before . And here's after with a few more panel lines. Notice I've added a small , custom , removable mount to the top side . Sandwiched between the angled thruster mount and the fuselage. That is for this.. Super Lancer in the house ! We know that the Bandai 1/72 is a tad smaller than the Hasegawa. At least for the supers. This works well , IMO , as the supers don't overwhelm the Lancer, in size. Bare in mind the Lancer has very long canons mounted to the front and thrusters to the rear. Both not yet shown. So, more putty and sanding , for a bit and then back to panel lining and coloring. That's all for now. See you next Deculture, Space cowboy. Folding out !⚡️

    I know there's little info. But.. The Megaroad-01 fleet consisted of Zentradi and Spacy vessels. Does anyone know what the fleet composition was. Or, at least, what additional ARMD's or Carriers accompanied the Megaroad. Still curious about the launch arms and VF deployment and receiving bays..
  21. Bolt
    Ok. Thanks for following up on that ! I don't need to waste more time looking up stuff that isn't useful. I'll dig into my old collection of rt rpg books. I was already considering those, as I'm quite desperate. Lol. Cheers !
  22. Bolt
    Thanks 👍🏼
  23. Bolt
    Yes. Thanks. I've taken to rewatching sdfm and DYRL for (scant) details . Thanks very much for those links ! Edit: I can't remember the name of those books that publish deck plans for various space faring vessels. Though it's fan based and not official, they could provide some insight. Especially considering mine will ultimately be fan based as well.

    I've been doing a lot of hangar studies for an upcoming diorama project. There isn't much of the SDF-1 Macross or Megaroad in terms of line art. Online. If you have any more links for such @sketchley , that would be most helpful !
