Gundam Show Thread - MSG thru GQuuuuuuX
pengbuzz replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
That's how I feel as well; I think they're trying to "ride a wave" as far as popularity goes, but they've put out crap for the past few series', and it's fatiguing a lot of folks who look for the story in it.- 4001 replies

SPACEBALLS 2: The Search for More Money?
pengbuzz replied to TangledThorns's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Right? And it would allow for the new version to have her own persona and idiosyncrasies, so a new actress (or actor, since it may be a "son") could make that role truly their own. -

I also wonder if surplus destroids were purchased by several municipalities and modified for other purposes? *Imagines a destroid plowing the road after a snowstorm in December* -
Gundam Show Thread - MSG thru GQuuuuuuX

I think they need to give the Gundam universe a rest for a bit before embarking on another new series. Take some time to really think about characters, potential storylines and series concepts, as they seem to be "running on fumes" at this point (trying to be more charitable than just writing them off as "lazy" and such). Your take on this, Seto?- 4001 replies

Same; although maybe a "Dot 2.0" or something may be good if handled the right way. -

Super Macross Mecha Fun Time Discussion Thread!

Yeah... just a nightmare for accuracy's sake though. O.o *Imagines giant tube of glue being held by several valks as they position a new module in place* -
Thanks MT!! That reminds me: I need to look up the IMPS standards for real space and sci-fi modeling (for both my shuttle and TOS Enterprises).
-
Yeah...a rather attractive idea. I'll see myself out now...
-
That's what I was thinking with my suggestion; I just couldn't remember what those things were called! And yeah, that's why I suggested wiggling the parts: the biggest enemy of styrene when disassembling something is stress on the plastic in a specific, concentrated area. Too much, and you just bent a part, or worse, broke it! Often, I'll use this if I need to get things apart:
-
I'd use the minimum force necessary to pull the pieces apart, and something to get between parts that is a little softer than the plastic so as not to bend or mar it. You can also try wiggling parts slightly to get them to come loose; just take it slowly and stop if you feel something may break.

Yeah; I really do think the pacing is way off here, and the story as a whole (what story there was) was not handled very well.- 4001 replies

Super Macross Mecha Fun Time Discussion Thread!
pengbuzz replied to Valkyrie Driver's topic in Movies and TV Series
Unfortunately, no one told that to Hasegawa when they issued their TV and DYRL? versions (DYRL was issued first, then TV Version); all they did was change a few parts; aside from that, they used the same basic kit: They also did this for the "fortress mode" versions for both. But to the point: if the DYRL version were the "reconstructed" TV version, they would probably have to had tore her down to the framework after Kamjin's kamikaze attack at the end of the TV series (given the catastrophic damage to her starboard shoulder and the booms). Overall though, unless it directly impacts a model I'm working on or a creation for the RPGs that I'm in, I really don't care too much about ship/ mecha scale. That would make for a fairly amusing cartoon: a battroid stuck in a hatch like Wile E. Coyote having fallen into one of his own traps, trying desperately to squeeze through! -
Thanks; gotta love masking tape! I also used it for replicating the thermal blankets elsewhere on the shuttle.
-
UPDATE: Got the shuttle model to at least where the other one was: For display, I constructed a new stand for it; it's still a little rough (I have yet to paint the back half and clearcoat the whole thing): This one is going to be based on a "what if" that nearly happened in real life: after the loss of Challenger, NASA almost converted Enterprise from a functional test article (built the same way as the other shuttles, just without the engines or tiles). Instead, they had enough spare parts to build a new shuttle from scratch: Endeavour. Bottom tiles in progress (hand-carving them): Cargo bay: I had taken the contents out when painting the first one, so these survived. I simply updated the paint a little and glued them in: And her place (for the time being) is next to another ship with the same name (just waiting on decals for her!): I need to finish putting decals on the shuttle, but I have to print up more paper decals at the library today. Stay tuned...

I'd say: go for a high-contrast scheme like black/white/ gold. Maybe use this as inspiration for the color scheme:

Yup (on all accounts! ) Working on the model as we speak; at least it's keeping my mind off the diabetes diagnosis I got today (organ damage to pancreas amongst other things). Doctor put me on ozempic, so we'll see how that works. (at this rate, I wonder how it is my body still works at all!)
