    That's a good question! Soldered connections take up less space, than using connectors !

    I've seen line art depicting deck and hangar crew in space suits. And also hangar crew without, in all the various shows, movies and games. And when it comes to gravity, I'm sure theres a set point for the bridge, crew quarters, etc. And different ones set for maintenance deck (partial gravity?) , hangars (either or?) , and launch bays (zero?). I imagine most or all Spacy craft would, at some point, be subject to multiple degrees of gravity, based on maintenance, repair, modification, prep and launching. I imagine craft, like the Glamor Spider Bug would be used heavily for ultra low(or zero) gravity staging , recovery and launching of other space craft, such as the Rabbit, or the SF-3A Lancer II . And speaking of the Lancer! That's another Spacy craft that doesn't seem to have any apparent landing gear ! And, again, it may be subject to multiple environments and gravity aboard its mother ship.. I just wonder how the Lancer rests at idle. Some kind of rack or grapple holds it in place..? 🤷

    Another thought i had, what if those pads flip around and are wheels on the other side..? A la pallet jack..anyway @TehPW I appreciate you going the extra mile , thinking about this.

    I've only ever done single LED's , individually powered , on my models, so far. But i think Arduino boards and modules will be what I look into, once I've started in ernest on my hangar diorama. Haven't considered other sources yet. There's a lot of information on LED wiring, out there, i would hope someone has a good link for you. There's also utube..

    Yes indeed, I've studied those images a bit. It looks very much to be a space born vessel, not really meant for much ,if any gravity. So this is an important question , I've wondered myself. I think , regardless of how many different types of craft, most space carriers in the Macross universe have atmospheric hangars and service bays AND hangars and launch bays that are free of atmosphere. These vacuum hangars and launch bays would be the main use for active VF's and other craft , such as the RC-4E. For the sake of argument, i am not thinking about SDFM space/aircraft carriers, for obvious reasons. I imagine that the Rabbit coukd be lightly serviced in a vacuum environment. But for anything more thorough, it would be craned or towed into a service area which has an atmosphere. And so it got me wondering..(also I'm about to build a 1/72 kit of the dang thing!) Something like that ,different scale and motorized, could very well be the ticket!🤔

    Not sure if that's happened anytime soon. He has his own comic BRZRKR. It's published by Boom! Studios. Netflix is doing a live action movie with Keanu as the lead. As well as an anime. Better chance we may see him in a Star Wars story..

    True. The minmei Guard is one of my favorites. But I'm sad to say I don't have it! Although i do have the decals in 1/72 and 1/48. They really went all in on Armored battroids recently. That's been really cool. But I'm still holding my breath for a re pop of the 1/72 SVF-41 Black Aces Super Valkyrie, and the VF-19A SVF-440 Dullahan..!

    Set backs are always frustrating! But it looks like you're still making great progress!
  9. Bolt
    That's a good point. Yes, it's curious they haven't done the VF-1D batroid.

    I managed to eek along some today. Worked a bit on the VF-4 Enigma. Landing gear and gear doors, prepped pilot and missiles. Much more devil in the details to do.. Also worked some on the Moscato Tomahawk. I pinned the ankles , knees (both points on each knee) hips , waist and shoulders, so far. For maximum pose ability. Gonna switch hats, at some point, and really focus on finishing the Super Lancer too.. See you Space Cowboys next Deculture..

    The VF-31X still doesn't sound like it's cheap enough to mass produce. It may never be, until Fold Quartz is readily available. And if Fold Quartz is easy enough to obtain or synthesize well, at that point, the VF 31-AX will be canon fodder... I feel like they're getting a bit ahead of themselves with the latest VF's and all their fanciness. Remember, the VF-171 is probably still the main use VF for most immigrant fleets. The VF-25 is probably still the "new hotness ", en mass. But , i know they're very much in the business of selling toys and models too. Shizuma Quartz 😜

    +1 @pengbuzz 👍🏼

    Yes indeed. The previous explanation you enlightened us to, illustrates the Kairos Plus as a bit of a Frankenstein.

    Watanabe strikes me as someone who has learned not to pull punches. Hollywood has left it's mark. He also names the producer he hated working with and would've punched, working on the Animatrix.

    Oh , shweeet !

    I would hope so. I have a few of the older 1/72 Bandai Spartans. They're horrible. I built one with my kid sometime ago. I was looking at it the other day, trying to figure out how to improve it. And it would require so much work, I would go crazy.!

    The Spartan seems to be the most difficult, of the SDFM Destroids, to translate into model form, IMO. I have yet to see one that actually looks good.
  20. Bolt
    That's a good read. Thanks for sharing!

    1/48 VF-1D would be great. And certainly cheaper and more customizable than the Bandai toy. Still, it would be a new mold. Same for the 1/72 version batroid, Its a different chest piece, as well as canopy and head. Even so, I'm actually surprised Hase hasn't done these yet
  22. Bolt
    That would be a new mold, for sure. Armored Tornado would be cool. I believe Bandai did one. Oh please, don't hold back.! 😜

    Cool ! Enter Black Adam to save the day. Though he more than likely made a deal with Superman (the US govt. ) to stay in his own sand box. Speaking of Superman , Henry Cavill cameo please. (I know he got axed from reprising his role as Superman..)

    Wow ! She's such a Baller 🤩 I just can't get into these CGI clips, as much as i like the music.. https://www.instagram.com/tv/Cn4RZNpORJo/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

    Is this a tease to sell out tickets.? https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn4owBoy3Ap/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
