    I read something like this about the F-16, and that it relies on flight computers to keep it stable during normal flight (i.e. non dog-fighting maneuvers). Seto, I seem to recall you mentioning that UN Spacy was envisioning a different kind of war with the Zentraedi (more about planet-based and "taking/ holding territory") than the one they found themselves in ultimately. The VF-1 was very maneuverable in atmosphere but would run out of reactant in space and needed the Super packs, while the VF-4 and VF-14 were more space-based (showing a trend towards space-based after Space War 1). With the advent of the VF-171, 29, 30 and 31, I'm wondering if with the decentralization of the UNS and the establishment of NUNS if the YF-24 Evolution was designed deliberately as a testbed and then dumbed down so that the fleets could make their own advancements based on their perceived need and requirementss. Am I : 1) correct on this; 2) wrong or 3) overlooking something/ other?

    Hence my disclaimer: This is one reason I like participating in this topi: if I'm ever unsure of my facts, I can simply post what I think here and see if I'm right or not, especially with folks who have a better background on this (and better access to info pertaining to thus) than I do. I had not considered the fact that the VF-4 was more optimized for spaceflight than for atmospheric, so it makes sense that the switch to another spaceflight-optimized plane would be less of a jump.

    Not sure that qualifies as a tactical advantage... O.o

    I threw out my judgment years ago. Evidence: I eat pizza with tartar sauce. Anyways, any sort of movie is out of the question for me, so with that, I shall depart this topic. *poof*

    Where I live, we did most everything right; problem is that folks fled here from other states and the COVID rates spiked.

    Let me see if I can photoshop that one for the gang first!

    Hey, I gotcha; the Macross RPG I'm part of was set to start meeting after I had moved back in-state last year, but COVID nuked it harder than a Planet Buster Missile. And that isn't the same online as it is IRL, so I understand. At least they have a vaccine in the works, so maybe there's hope yet.

    With how the leg is simply an outer shell, how would that even stand? Without an armature or different design, it would have to be on some type of stand. In fact, that I think would be a major issue for the model with the arms as well as the shoulder and hip joints.

    Maybe all of us can do a mass movie-watching event online sometime. DYRL anyone?

    My wife would kill me if I paid more than 100 for anything like that (really tight finances). 500... that's 3/4 of our car insurance for 6 months!

    I hope so as well... I'd love to see those printed!

    Kinda reminds me of the SR-71 Blackbird's engine, only with a cockpit. Hmm.... I wonder how this would look if someone took a pair of these, cut the engines off a same-scale SR-71 model and glued these on into place?

    *voice comes out from under pile of stuff* "You got it!"

    ROFL! Not to mention you can sit around the house with a comfy blanket and a cup of hot cocoa while watching the movie. Try that in a theater!

    I would also have to add training as another point. With a specialized craft such as the VF-14, you need specialized training in order to fly it (slower, different setup, different characteristics in all three modes, etc). Whereas with the VF-11, the pilot can "train up" for the base model and then train in the specific armor and packs as needed without having to train for another craft altogether. Someone coming from a fleet where they used the 14 is going to take a bit longer to get up to speed, for example, as opposed to someone who's coming in from a VF-11 squadron and simply has to train up for armor or whatnot. Just my opinion, but I may be mistaken.

    Hmmm... wondering if I have a scrap of wood that I could use to scratch up a model of the Yamato? *opens up closet and a TON of stuff and the family christmas tree fall out, burying pengbuzz*

    Makes little difference for me. I cannot afford the movies, and I cannot afford to get them when they come out on streaming/ video/ etc. I end up seeing them 8+ years later when they show up online. So... anyone want me to ruin the ending of the 1985 version of Dune for them?

    Okay...don't say I didn't warn y'all: Original vid:

    Holding his jaw! lol Seriously though, RIP.

    I'll see if I can get a cartoon of that together later today.

    Thanks! I simply did a reprime and repaint on it. Speaking of which... UPDATE: Refined the detailing a bit more. I still have some stuff to add (minor details here and there like the upper head turret), but the basics are there. The legs are ball jointed in the hips, and bend 180 degrees at the knees (for reverse and regular movement), with the feet able to tilt to the sides. As for the lighting system: The light is simply one of those LED "finger lights" from the dollar store.I made a collar to go around it, hot-melt glued it into place, used the hot melt glue to create a "lens", then once the glue cooled, pulled the light out from it so it would be removable and the batteries could be replaced as needed: The switch is at the top (can't really see it there). The entire unit slides into a hole and recess in the front of the Regult: Stay tuned...more to come...
