    The salt method works for most kinds of paints. The best techniques I’ve seen use a kind of mottled rust base color with bright and dark rust colors showing uneven. Then you get some salt and a bit of water and let the salt kinda stick to the surface like you’d see a pretzel or something. And in places you don’t want chipping, you can just wipe the area clean with water and a napkin or something. Then you cover the kit with your desired colors and decals like normal. Then you can use your finer nails or gently use a blade to kind of scrape off the raised areas. It leaves some raised paint and shows the rust underneath. The paint that’s somewhat raised will appear like real chipped texture. You can add extra weathering to make it appear as rust or oils or dirt at dripping out of those spots as well for some added detail

    I kinda figured that, but it just seems so recent in the other show.

    Hope that means less of the cg look to the mecha in the anime. I feel like sunrise has done alright in some of their recent shows giving a more animated than cg look to the mecha despite actually using heavy cg for their mecha in shows like Gundam with a few exceptions

    That’s why I really think their best move is to try and work out a deal to allow themselves and big west to profit from releasing the og stuff and DYRL. And then just to do Robotech as a disconnected reboot. They could do their own designs and new characters in a story that’s new to rebuild their name. Or just watch the cash roll in from making distribution deals and the streaming rights

    Just finished the newest episode. Still rolling strong

    Angry Homer Simpson was always the most convincing Homer Simpson

    It was god for its time, but age really shows. Lots of awkward shapes and such. The hmr blows it away easily. Although, I would love to see a new hg kit of it along with other Macross 2 designs

    I’d be way more interested if they do Samurai Showdown since they have that snk logo. Storm did a few figures from it, but kinda left out a lot of my favorites and honestly, I’d have more space for them in this scale.

    Not sure, did the remaster come on dvd or Blu-ray? also , I think it’s odd that it doesn’t have Mospeada, but I really don’t know how the show was marketed down there.

    It’s always fun to have a chance to try something new. I like how the armor looks like that old fashioned iron kinda look rather than smooth manufactured steel.

    And Serena isn’t a character in Sailor Moon

    Yeah, that’s with all the extensions. There’s a bit more than I listed, like the ankles to get better articulation around the armor and the hip gimmick that allows for a higher kick and helps in downform. Basically it’s not to extend height, but to allow for more anime style poses with the all those extra joints moved around, it adds significant height when you extend everything outward.

    The legs are for the downform, the arms are for the punch and forward reach and the waist is for forward articulation.

    I didn’t even check think it was odd that they pretty much redid the joints on theirs more like G.I.Joe, except for adding the elbow joints and a waist articulation. The other joints go some petty good upgrades, but if they just went that little bit more, these would’ve been tough to pass up

    Turned out really great. Thanks for sharing. id love to see something like this on the hg kit as well.
  16. Big s
    Totally agree. I didn’t even check who it was that did the voice, but he was pretty great here. Overall it was kind of the type of plot that easily could’ve failed if not for the talent behind the character and the circumstances pushing things in that direction.

    Just watched last week’s episode. Was a bit behind on tv. This one was one of those episodes where you know pretty much what exactly is going to happen, but still shocking to see that it actually happens.

    I’ve never had much luck on brush painting lacquer personally. When I used to use acrylics for brush painting, I did really well with citadel paints. I kinda like the army painter ones these days since they seem to level easily and they have a similar product to the contrast paints for the slap chop thing.

    Are you gonna try brush painting the lacquers on it? Most of Lincoln’s kits seem to use that painting method

    I’m kinda thinking a more interesting story might be something like an independent label that gains access to bands and arts from several genres. Like a rock band, a pop star, maybe a rapper, a country band , maybe a blues band and maybe some kinda techno industrial thing. And the plot uses an enemy that doesn’t just have one mood requiring alternating uses of the different genres of music maybe even coming together to put their backgrounds aside to try and do a we are the world type final moment for the climax of the show. but it could just all end up totally stupid

    Honestly, the best way to look at it realistically is what it actually was. It was a tool to bring shows like Macross to the world. And honestly, it was a bumpy road, but we’re finally at a place where several Macross series and movies can be viewed by a much much larger audience. The trip isn’t finished and there’s still the og stuff to settle, but we’re much better off without Robotech in the way. Macross isn’t perfect, but Robotech after the original shows ended was a huge mess. I’ll never forget that without Robotech anime in general may have taken a lot longer to become standard viewing in a majority of households these days, but Robotech was never really its own thing. Maybe one day they’ll do something with it, but it would be better if they did like Battletech and distanced themselves from non original aspects.

    It probably will never be totally forgotten. This year it is still remembered as an international speed bump to getting og Macross and Dyrl streaming outside of Japan. Beyond that it never really was its own franchise and was just a way to introduce people to Japanese Animation. Similar to Battle of the Planets or Star Blazers.

    That’s a pretty awesome bridge setup
