  1. I can still see the preshading; fainter than you had it, but still there. Could you possibly hit it with flat coat and use dark chalk pastels to try to bring the preshading back out? I'd hate to see you have to start all over...
  2. Too bad you couldn't live in it!
  3. It is; the current Gerald R. Ford class carriers are about 1106 ft (337m) long; Prometheus is 1679 ft (512m) long. That would make them about half-again as long as our largest naval carriers. Source: https://macross2.net/m3/sdfmacross/carrier-prometheus.htm
  4. Nice: reminds me of mine: Splitting the middle pylon was a royal pain:
  5. Fixed that for you:
  6. Thanks for the info Seto; I wasn't sure (I thought it folded back, but wasn't sure if it could also fold up). Guess Isamu wrecked it.
  7. I found this site on FB while looking at some Star Trek stuff on FB: https://www.mewho.com/turbolift1/ Played around with the LCARS a bit; see what y'all think... (Note: hit Ctrl+ S for settings; click "build" on your lefthand side of the screen for the on-screen guide)
  8. I always thought it was situated within the main body and both legs, to be honest.
  9. Same here; the fit on the Enterprise is okay (snap together and all); I plan on leaving it as "snap" until painting and decals are done. Not going to do any "aztecing" because visually, at the scale distance it would appear, I don't think it would be visible (did that for my 1/537 as well). I don't have Reliant, so not sure how that would fit. Need to do a different stand for the Enterprise, as the dome one that came with it fell apart (some weird kind of "delamination" happened). I'll see about doing one of my famous "black stands". Some really clean work there, WM!! I can never do anything "clean"; I manage to smudge and mess up my paintworks constantly!! O.o A few; I lost one last November though; my friend of over 30 years died of Glioblastoma (diagnosed in April, it killed him in 7 months flat. 😮 ) After that, most of our group pretty much went their own ways and broke apart. Thankful for whatever friends I have here; admittedly, I'm not the easiest person to try to get along with.
  10. Yeah; it also looks like the wing "cuts off" a bit before where the ground would be; I wonder if the wing somehow folds up (like the corsair of WWII fame), but from what I've seen of the YF-19, it wouldn't fold that way, right? Pic is a bit confusing, so I think I'm just going to go with your explanation. It would fit that Isamu wrecked the thing up....
  11. This, right? Looks like they might have disengaged the nose cowling, but it's also entirely possible Isamu damaged it enough that it was barely hanging on.
  12. UPDATE: Over the holidays, someone was kind enough to send me a couple of projects (much thanks to them!) as to keep my mind from going to complete $#!7 with current circumstances. Here are both of them: And I started the first a few days ago: Have yet to do decals and painting: Keeping it in components so I can actually do this without driving myself any further up the wall than I already am: Planning on doing transparent purple over the inner grille to replicate the lit "warp effect" without lights. Stay tuned...
  13. Was that after his first flight with the 19, or when Guld shot him? I suspect given how many other pilots wrecked, they probably had a considerable store of spare parts and fabrication/ repair/ maintenance equipment onhand. It does help that the fighter is robust though. Yeah... probably replace a few parts and clean the paint really. I just wanted an excuse to post that snippet from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
  14. Looks like me trying to get to the last piece of frozen chocolate cream pie.... ...those brussell sprouts in the freezer can be deadly! O.o
  15. Try having Trip lower the command chair by one centimeter...
  16. Yeah; they've had worse:
  17. That's their earliest guess (unless they find something else; as it is, she has blood in her urine and needs more tests).
  18. Christmas bombed; my wife is still in the hospital and may not be out until after New Years (or even later). She's been in since Dec. 9th. Half the time sitting here crying, the other half just sitting here numb.
  19. Talk about worldbuilding extraordinaire!
  20. Say what? O.O
  21. I just had a crazy thought:
  22. *Imagines Tekering looking in a window, and some lady who just got out of the shower screaming her head off and running for dear life!*
  23. My personal belief is that at some point, someone criticized having giant robots in anime series and it hit Kawamori-san badly (either Macross or something else he was working on). After that (one or perhaps multiple incidents), he began developing in-story reasons why they are necessary. JMO.
  24. I first saw "Star Fleet" on Showtime cable, and was immediately taken by it. Years later I learned Brian May did the theme
