Where is MW con going to be this year?

Someone needs to do a MW recast of this kit. I am dying with curiosity to see a complete one. Also want to build a 1S for the shelf.

Carl- Thanks for the pics! How does one go about bidding on Yahoo Japan as I would love to get the !s or the set. Thanks Steve

I want to get a recast of the three bad men battroid kit. How can we make this happen? Can we do a group buy? Can someone please post pics of these kits? Thanks

Your pics looks like the Macross version of the Bloods and the Crips.

Welcome back!

How did you do this? WHat are those joints from? Looks great.

Takatoku boxes are the best. How much will your boxes run?

Nice customs! Altough I think the red visor makes the head too monochromatic.

Dude Senate scenes ROCK! They are so much better than those boring space battles and story points in the original trilogies. Looking back on Kurosawa Samurai films I realize their flaw - No senate scenes. All the fighting and chasing and conflict are so passe in adventure movies- real adventure starts in the senate. Best Senate/Council seated scnes: Matrix Relaoded and Revoulotions- those old people rock! Why couldn't they have been in the original Matrix. They where so wise and had so much to say. Jedi Council - who ever thought Jedis had an office building and a conference room - total kickass warrior style! Prequel Senate- All those different races of aliens and they are all so smart. One vote of no Confidence and you overturn the guy in charge - so realistic. In fact more War movies should show Senate scenes. They should go back and put senate scenes in every WWII movie - forget the Duke or Lancaster - what the hell is going on in the senate. Bridge over the River Kwai - Crap - who cares about the bridge what was the senate doing, dammit! And Platoon, Apocolypse Now - taking place in Jungles of Vietnam- Boooooring - What was going on in the senate - that would have made those movies great

You have to use Microsol and Microset alot to make sure the decals "melt" down and then follow the panel with a very sharp exacto blade. It's pretty easy as long as you have applied the Micro Sol.

Wow. Thanks all! Some pics of fighter sans FP with 1S head Also I got rid of some of the seams on the FP and I don't know if you can tell but I actually masked off and painted some of the panels a slightly different shade also

Thanks Now if I only had a set of custom DYRL hands...

Haven't transformed it back to Fighter yet. Will do so soon to get more head shots.

Absolutely!

Fighter

That is very cool. If only i had the space.

Definitely Roy. The Yellow and Black is iconic.

Also I am way younger than 50

Looks are subjective peformance is objective. Compared with the current M3 The "old" C5 Z06 is: - Faster in a straight line and a track - check out the sub 8 minute time of the stock Z06 at Nurburgring (The Ring)- BMWs home turf - which is considered one of the most difficult tracks in the world and only the top sportscars post sub eight minute times. - Lighter by 300 some odd pounds at 3118lbs - which is lighter than basically every High Performance car save the Ferrari 360 and Lotus Elise. (ie Turbo 911 (996) Porsche comes in at 3300 lbs. or so) - has better brakes - gets better fuel economy 28 highway in 6th gear. - has a simple pushrod engine that many have pushed well over 100,000 miles on without major problems. And will be easier and cheaper to fix down the line - has 75 more HP - Costs less. I happen to love the M3 and it was my only other consideration besides the Corvette. After the test drive for me the Z06 was the choice. Interior quality is sub par compared to my mom's 2003 530i, especially the leather - no comparison to the BMW materials. But that is why the Corvette comes in at the pricepoint it does. Also Interiors can be upgraded for a few thousand dollars. Upgrading the performance of a BMW ala Dinan is very very pricy and will void your warranty.

IIRC the majority of the work on the refresh of the 7 series wil be in the front end - the lights and grill.

Nick- Sorry about your car. Looking at those pictures hurt - but as long as you are okay. The elevation changes are the scariest part of any track, and willowsprings is definately a tough one from what I've heard. About the Elise - there was a Tuner at the LA show that was stuffing the Honda S2000 motor in the Elises. So instead of Toyota 4 banger with 190HP you have the super high revving Honda 4 banger with 240HP. Probably a really wild ride. I don't think the Elise is a chick car it is a serious sports car. BMW is "refreshing" the look of the 7 series in mid cycle because they are getting a lot of flack for the Bangles lines. Personally I like the Current M3, I think it is teh best looking car in their lineup.

How about a 1S head with the top layer of armor "skin" removed and the visor removed so all we see is the sensors and robotic guts of hydraulics and such.
