    Yeah... I think by now, the One Year War has been fought and refought so many times in the various series, that Amuro and Char are probably receiving royalties.

    Thanks MT!! That was the idea! On the note of finishes: I recently found out about a company called True North, that is making a lot of the colors Model Master used to (before Testors punked out), Here's their link: https://www.truenorthpaints.com/ AFAIK, the paints are alkyd enamels, but they have a pretty good selection. I found this site via a review linked on another forum: http://www.modelwarships.com/reviews/misc/True_North/TrueNorthPaints/TrueNorthPaints.htm (NOTE: don't click the link the review has to the site: it's an old link that bounces back to modelwarships.com. Instead, please use the link I first posted)

    It does now.

    I figured use the suckiest of mechanimes, it'd be over before Jean has a chance to say something stupid.

    Yeah... and I spent a good hour and a half coming up with all the drivel I posted as to "why my people do not speak of it" Sadly... it's probably still better than most of the crap that comes out of Hellyweird nowadays. Yes; I considered those things and that is why I would be dismal about anyone in the west even trying. On another note: instead of "speed running" all the greatest moments of an anime in an "adaption", they'd be better off doing what the new version of Dune did: spread it out over a few movies. But I can imagine most studios wouldn't want to commit to that for several reasons.

    I have an idea for what would probably be the shortest Gundam series of all time. Ready?

    "Stealth"? In my culture, it is expressly forbidden to speak of that... "motion picture". Amongst my people, just theh mere mention of it is considered a vile criminal offense, with the heaviest of penalties and sentences imposed at the sound of even hinting at it. Let me read to you an excerpt from The Annals of Pengulus Baratis, The Great Peng:

    I'll agree; One Piece does a good job at that for the most part. I just cringe anymore when it's announced a studio "has an adaption coming". I remember reading a supposed version of "the upcoming Voltron movie" (yeah, the original was King of 100 Beasts GoLion) that made me glad it went back to development hell. I think I know the answer already, but I'll just ask anyways: why do they ignore the source material when doing this? I know some stuff may not translate well into our culture or may be too weird/ perverted/ violent/ other-reason-I-can't-think-of-right-now. But in much of what I've seen, these things are barely recognizable from their sources and in at least a few cases, are practically unwatchable (imo). *praying they never try a live action adaption of Macross Plus*

    Do you know if they currently have any flights or cruises out to there? Asking for a friend...

    Got another one; this time for the 22 inch (1/537) "Cutaway" TOS-E that I designed. The ones included in the first issue weren't accurate, and these are for folks who bought or already have that kit:

    Do you think anyone here in the west has any idea of how to do a successful "live action" version of an anime? I think even One Piece has its' issues, tbh...
  12. pengbuzz
    Yeah, that would be this (description of "Iron Type" in lower corner of four boxes): https://www.macrossworld.com/macross/models/imai/imai_main.htm and this (main list): https://www.macrossworld.com/macross/models/imai/imai_main.htm

    Watch the next one be about:
  16. pengbuzz
    Question: does the helmet have a faceplate (transparent), or is it all "open" (not sure if the anime has it as transparent)? Was wondering if it might just be easier to fill the front of the helmet and paint it to look reflective/tinted? Update: apparently it does-
  17. pengbuzz
    Yeah; his cassettes wouldn't be much of an issue, as the MP versions were about the same size as the original G1's and were poseable.
  18. pengbuzz
    Then there's this (not sure if anyone reported on this yet; searched MW forums and found nothing): https://tformers.com/55251 Just rumors so far (like Magnus and Grimlock)...
  19. pengbuzz
    Ah; not familiar with that one, I'm afraid.
  20. pengbuzz
    They can, but this is the second set of these I bought, and the us symbols on them were wrong; I had to use the last few spares I had that I made up. All of that is gone now. I simply have no desire nor ability to purchase the "accurized" ones off of ebay (not to mention paying 250 dollars in tariffs from china!). And printer ink is ridiculous now. So sadly, this will just sit on the shelf until it crumbles to dust. I've redone this model so many times and nearly had it finished when this fiasco hit; I don't EVER want to build another Tomcat for the rest of my life. I prefer this version:

    UPDATE: just waiting on decals for my TOS Enterprise. Shuttle is nearly done, taking a break from that. Meantime, the 1/48 Top Gun Tomcat Kit is cursed. I applied the decals, then scratched the canopy. Okay, no big deal, protected the decals on the nose and polished the canopy using sanding films I normally do and it came out fine. So I then cleaned up the canopy protection... Managed to wreck the damned decals on the nose AND the wings. I didn't even bother getting mad; I just put the model on the shelf in the closet, closed the door, and started banging my head against a brick wall. I just don't even know now... even giving up doesn't equate to my level of despair on this one. Maverick and Goose must hate me or something. Not looking for advice or anything; I think I'm beyond that point here. If anyone needs me, I'm going to go find a nice deep coal mine or something to crawl into and take the elevator down. And load 16 tons...

    Coincidentally, there is a book called Ozma of Oz; hearkening back to Ozma in Frontier perhaps?
  23. pengbuzz
    That figures.
  24. pengbuzz
    The first, but honestly, either one is nightmare fuel.
  25. pengbuzz
    Oh crap... don't get me started on THAT abomination. I still have nightmares about it... ask Seto!! x.x
