  1. Thanks; all they gave me was Tylenol. Whiskey would have been better... I managed to build this kit without too many issues; I just used permatex plastic welder to fill in where the gaps were. will do
  2. Was jsut at the ER last nght: xeroform gauze and it has to be kept moist. Partal thickness 2nd degree burn, some layers missig.
  3. My guess is tht anyone below the c-suite level is fair game as far as expndability goes with W-Y. I also suspct that the entire franchise's point about corporatons and the military is that their policies tend to work against them when it comes o the xenmorphs. You cannt reason or bargain with them, and bullets aren';t enough. Then again: being stupid isnt a great tactic either. (sorry...burnd my writing hand with hot oil in kitchn last night. typing is a problem.)
  4. Update: last night I ended burning my rght arm badly with hot oil (typing one handed rightnow so its a bit hrd. beginning to hate cooking. Until it heals, all projectsare on-hold.
  5. True. Or if she's out of coffee.... Riker would drop an asteroid on him...
  6. Agreed; I have a knockoff G1 Devy (really would like to get an actual G1 version) and the plastic is just crap on it. Going forward, I recommend Permatex Plastic Welder; it has better shear strength and is all around a better adhesive.
  7. Hmm... I may hold off on my project to see if they have that kit at a reasonable price then. It'd be interesting to see of perhaps they mold some of the body sections in clear styrene.
  8. I figured he'd have cut their heads off or something. Seven of Nine would vent them right from the bridge into space.
  9. G1 Hook had a poor leg design, let's be honest; chromed plastic isn't really known for it's resiliency and the nub at the knee that the cab/ lower leg attached to was kind of flimsy.
  10. I'm not doing it that big! O.O
  11. No, masking tape. As in remove all the areas with the gridwork, replace them with sheets of masking tape, draw the gridwork back on and light it from within.
  12. Careful there Tekkering... you don't know the power of masking tape.
  13. Thanks for clarifying that; sometimes the names can drive me up a wall! Ah, okay. So Britai wouldn't be tossing them around like he did during SW1. Ok; what threw me was how much shorter than Britai he was.
  14. Wait... they crammed two hundred more people onto Kirk's Enterprise? O.O Did he date all the women aboard and run out or something?! 🤪
  15. Yeah; I had that somewhere in the back of my mind about Vrlitwhai (thought his name was " Britai", from where they got the RT name "Breetai") but didn't quite flash on it. I ask because I was thinking about that fight and got the idea "What if Hikaru and gang had the VF-25 Messiah or something later like the Siegfried?" I also thought about (for the sake of argument): 1) Isamu in the YF-19 taking on a commander-type Zentraedi, and how they would fare against a "Booster Punch" (I know the YF-19 probably has greater strength than the VF-1's servos and motors). 2) A later VF in the same scenario Roy Fokker was in during DYRL, where the cockpit of Skull-1 got crushed and the chestplate torn off by Quamzin (I don't think Quamzin was a "commander-type" like Vrlitwhai, but I might be mistaken). Sorry if all of this is a little all over the place, but overall, just curious about the overall specs and structural strength of more modern valks in situations where the VF-1 got busted up.
  16. Perhaps a better idea would be to have the Xenomorph chase the writing team for this series through their own offices, spewing printer ink at them in a blind rage.
  17. Are you making this transformable?
  18. @Seto Kaiba On another note Seto: I recall in SFDM that Britai tore the chestplate off of Hikaru's VF-1J when Hikaru, Kakizaki and Max Jenius engaged him aboard his command cruiser. My question is this: I know that Britai was unusually tall for even Zentraedi, but how hard would it be for a Zentraedi to do something like that to a modern Valkyrie nowadays (i.e. vf-25 and up)? I would imagine with the magnetic shifters binding the torsos in place it would be pretty hard even for someone like Britai.
  19. I think at this point, reliability might be a bigger draw than a top-performer that chokes and burns itself out with dismal regularity.
