  1. I wonder if some kind of deal could be struck to allow that? I know HG had some bad blood with Hasbro, but since Jetfire is a recolor of the VF-1, perhaps BW could work something out with Hasbro/ TakaraTomy?
  2. Current project:
  3. Thanks Thom. I started this one after my visit to the ER the other day (CT and MRI scans ╪ fun) . She doesn't stand very well on her own, so I plan on doing a base for her that resembles the platform she performed on on the Macross bridge. The one she was photographed on doesn't work well for her, and it broke shortly after the photo shoot. I still need to detail her face and stuff.
  4. 1/48 is too small: in building a 1/48 Legioss, it was only as big in soldier mode as a VF-1: At the 1/32 scale, they would be able to do better detail (personally, I would redo the cockpit and put a 1/72 scale fig into the 1/48 myself, but what do I know?) and more convincingly. Some mechs just don't translate well to some scales.
  5. Quincy Jones, music titan who worked with everyone from Frank Sinatra to Michael Jackson, dies at 91 From AP News: (more): https://apnews.com/article/quincy-jones-dead-a9e31c7e39c448d8971519f47a22dd21
  6. Thanks everyone!! Yeah; nice to have that one finally done! Meanwhile: I came across this one recently at a flea market dirt cheap: May build it or trade it; don't know.
  7. Finally got the blimp done: Replaced the solid plastic gondola with a transparent custom made one: Other side: Ended up printing the Goodyear lettering and tail decals at the library on regular paper, cutting it all out ( royal pain!) and gluing it to the model kit. The lighting system (bulbs and all) went to crap, so I simply tore it all out and soldered in the guts from a Harbor Freight LED light (blue one with a"strip" of lights down the center) along with the battery enclosure, and plastic-welding it to the old battery compartment in the center of the "message drum": The stand is a custom-made cradle, specially designed to hold this (since the kit has to split in half to change messages/ batteries): Closer look: Custom-printed plaque on stand: Live test of message system on blimp:
  8. Hmm... interesting way to get rid of an enemy: attach a fold booster to them during a fight and set the jump coordinates for the heart of a star or black hole. (might work better on capital ships)
