  1. Agreed; at least folks outside Japan have a shot at it now, and I'd love to see them do M7 sometime.
  2. Thnaks MT!! Truly appreciate the help with the truck and figure! As for the hair: join the club!! O.o
  3. Thanks MT!! Only issue is: the figure is LESS than 6 inches (JUST figured that out)! So, I need to make a replacement rider for it. Not too much of a pain, just a nuisance. And the air crew truck was a Tamiya, but if it's 1/72, the wheels should be pretty well interchangeable. And I still do need it.
  4. Some stuff from Randy Cooper's 2024 Wonderfest album: (more) https://www.facebook.com/media/set?vanity=randy.cooper.3994&set=a.10161588777535238
  5. Dunno...just trying to understand what Set said.
  6. Okay, so the makers of the VF-1 merged into Shinsei, and the Corporation that rebuilt the SDF-1 merged with others into GG. Do I have that correct? In real life, weapons can possess longevity because of how they are designed. I know the VF-1 is far more complex though than a simple firearm (and would make the comparison kind of an ill-fitting one), but I can't help but but be reminded of the Colt 1911 .45 pistol. Over a hundred years later and the basic design hasn't changed and they're still made is quantity.
  7. Yeah; having had both the VF-1 and AFC-01 as transformable models/toys in 1/48 scale, the Armo-Soldier is kind of a shrimp by comparison. I had to hunt down few pics to make sure I remembered correctly:
  8. Yeah; the weird one that the entire shoulder block has to rotate to use the arms (Like the Panosh Place version).
  9. Yeah, like they built it in Pittsburgh or something...
  10. It's a Reeses Valkyrie!!! *Isamu*: "You got YF-21 in my YF-19!!!" *Guld*: "You got YF-19 in my YF-21!!!" Commercial for those who have absolutely NO idea what I'm talking about:
  11. Quick question for clarification: when you say "predecessors", do you mean they became Shinsei, or simply that they predated Shinsei?
  12. No, I have no casting materials. I still have more work to do on the wheels; this is just "first colors" to see how it would look. I'd rather not bu anything else when the work I'm doing is just incomplete.
  13. I wish they would sell Blazing Sword/ Ten Kings word separately; I could use
  14. No problem! And the reason I don't scratch build it: my hands don't work so well anymore. It's too small for me to make now. My apologies; I didn't mean to derail your build here, NB4M! Really looking forward to where you take this one!!:)
  15. Misa and Minmei don't count.
  16. That's one problem I've always had with "the force"; Yoda said "Life creates it, makes it grow", yet as far as I know, life is life. It's more than humans or even sentient beings; it's animals, plants, etc. that are neither good nor evil but just are. So I guess my point is: why would the Force be dichotimized to that degree (writer's notwithstanding)? My take on it would be that the "Force" amplifies what is already there, and that power corrupts. If you're an a-hole, you're going to become an even bigger one if you don't watch it. Of course there is good and evil, but while emotions can lead to bad things, love shouldn't be a path to the dark side. Just my two cents on this for what it's worth, Seto. I may be oversimplifying things or missing certain issues, so please take what I say with a block of salt and a belt sander. :p
  17. UPDATE: A couple of pics for now (heading off to bed after some pain-induced insomnia) of Street Hawk in progress: Ended up using a 1/12 Maisto Honda CRF450R as the basis for this build (closest I could find in this scale)- Unfortunately, the forks broke on me, so I cobbled together a replacement set using an old radio antenna: Converting the wheels from "wire" to "mag" was also a royal pain: Stay tuned, more to come....
  18. *imagines Battroid happily bouncing down the street*
  19. A lovely surprise to have climbing out of a battlesuit.
  20. Sorry MT; I'm not that good! Meantime, my next project is underway; can anyone guess from the pic? -
  21. See, I knew you guys couldn't stand it!!! (yuk yuk yuk) *runs for dear life* Seriously though, it's amazing what 5 minutes with Photoshop can do!
