    You'll probably be waiting a lot longer than a decade, most likely. You can always put faith in the Hi-Metal R line. They could very well put one out in a smaller scale.

    I'm gonna go on a good guess that you've never watched any Macross, or you'd realize that these are all elements that have been in other Macross series before. Of course you don't have to like it, but your post seems to be more like you're fishing for an argument based on nothing but opinion. In your ever so hilarious comment "Walkures are a mix of every single sick Japanese sex fetish put together", I am curious what facts helped you come to this conclusion. Ugh, sorry Tochiro, I'll keep that over there.

    Some of these ideas were already in the works by the time the first treatment that we covered was written. Macross 7 already had the implementation of a fully self contained, self sustaining colony ship, along with the compartment like sections (relatively speaking). The rest is very distinctly brought out in Frontier, as well as what seems to be direct scenes taken from this. I guess Kawamori very well knows to never let a good idea go to waste. While I did see this treatment trimmed down A LOT, I don't think it detracts from the Macross feel. The only thing that was a bit of a hard pill to swallow, was how the characters themselves had changed and not just going from the suggested names.

    I have a feeling that this line may not go nearly as extensively as the 1/60 line, and that's OK. If the price is what fits your needs, and you feel comfortable at that price range, the simple choice is to go with what you want. I don't know a lot of people (don't know any) who are willing to part ways with one scale to jump onto another. I'm only going to get a couple of these Hi-Metal Rs and only because they are different from what I have now. If it was going to be a full line, I would consider going in on it, but even then, I have no need to repurchase more of the stuff I already have.

    The cold weather was wreaking a little havoc on getting some parts done, and they were taking forever to cure, but with 80+ degree weather lately, it's been perfect. Can't wait to get these wrapped up and onto the 1/60 kit. I know it's going to be another beast to do those, especially with a larger order for those and painting, but they should be fun. I have all the tools set up for painting and whatever else is needed.

    OK, starting to box up 1/72 drones for mail out. Wings are still giving me trouble, but it's due to the 1/72 just being a lot smaller and thinner than the 1/60. Nevertheless, most are done and I have a ton of parts to sort through. Whatever I'm lacking will be done over the weekend. Most of the 1/72s will go out this weekend, the rest will be during the week as I finish them off. Then onto 1/60s. I'm going to go one piece at a time or these, so that they can get assembly line painted and done consistently.
  7. Jasonc
    Ah, yeah, soon. I have a feeling it's gonna be one of those multiple page posts.
  8. Jasonc
    Script as in Macross II script?
  9. Jasonc
    I doubt I'll be taking any more, especially the ones that request painting. I can send you a pm when all those are done, and if there are any left after, or the molds are still viable, I might be able to see at that time. Can't promise anything though.

    Macross figures

    Jasonc replied to CF18's topic in Toys

    Cool. I'll have to give it a try. I just ordered some. This should do well for my VMF Minmay. No worries. All parts of figures, like how people talk about keeping their valks pure white and all.
  11. Jasonc
    Thanks. They're coming along well. Trying to get two a day done on my work days. If you'll notice, there are two spots that need a bit of cleanup. at the base of the tail fins where it meets the missile hardpoint. There was some clay leftover from the first pour. While I tried to get it all out, I did have to keep the original part in. Once they come out, they never get put back in the way they originally get poured. That said, I'm happy with how they came out. They don't need too much cleanup. Anyways, I'm not gonna post for several days, cause I just need to get to work and wrap the 1/72s up so I can continue the 1/60s and start painting those.
  12. Jasonc
    OK, here's two pictures of the recast drone, and one of the decals. They aren't the greatest photos, but it's evening, and lighting isn't ideal. Anyways, the parts look pretty damn good, the decals are there.

    Jasonc replied to CF18's topic in Toys

    Thanks for the info. I did buy a stain remover that is sold from their site, as well as some care product stuff for the hair and a styler brush. LOL, never thought I'd be buying this stuff, but between the VMF Minmay and these Volks figures, I've become a fan.
  14. Jasonc
    I put them on one of the pages prior, maybe two back, but I'll get them up again today. I think I had to tweak them a bit, as two of the kites that were on the decals just don't fit anything for either scale. Most of it is just fluff decals, to give it some realism, but the kite symbols are all I'm aware of this thing having.
  15. Jasonc
    It is. I'm gonna repeat the exact process for the 1/60 wing. I did a couple today. As it's cold, I had to wait for curing longer than I wanted to. They are coming out, so at least that's a good thing. I can start packaging these up now, as each of these gets done.

    M+ ghost X-9

    Jasonc replied to Xigfrid's topic in The Workshop!

    They do make a rubber in black that can be recasted. I asked a distributor of liquid resin and rubber, and it is possible to do. It is out there, but if you are able to use a pre-made tire, that would be of a much higher quality.
  17. Jasonc
    Made the mold for the new 1/72 wing, and it came out better than expected. Very little work needed on the new one, and I was able to preserve the panel lines very well. I start tomorrow on them, and will try to crank them out as fast as possible. I'll try to get a pic of a sample tomorrow.

    Nice collection then. I only have 3 4 figures this size. 2 Sheryl Nome Dolfies, 1 Ranka Lee, and then 1 Lynn Minmay version from Yamato VMF line. I need two single stands now, so I'll be sure to look for them at the sites provided. As for the double stand, I'm probably gonna go with the first one posted. It looks a little nicer, however, depending on time, I may end up getting the cats one, once it's in stock. In regards to the body stockings, what color are Ranka and Sheryl? Are they the normal color, or the lighter version?
  19. Jasonc
    Not that I'm aware of. I haven't done a test of a couple of pieces, but once I get to those, I'll address those as needed. I got some more moldstar 30, so I can quickly make what I need. So far, I think it's the size of the 1/60 parts that makes them come out better. More gaps between spaces, less smaller spaces for air to get trapped, etc.

    I've had issues with Ami Ami, not hlj. 2 of my 3 VF-0 toys had damage on the boxes from Ami Ami. The one from hlj came in just fine.
  21. Jasonc
    I strongly believe most feel that it was crammed due to the rush of wanting to see it and the anticipation. It was after the second watch I got rid of all the anxious feeling and anticipation, that it became much easier to not be overwhelmed with anything else. As I mentioned elsewhere (the Delta NYE episode thread) it really only concentrates on a small handful of active characters. It feels like there's a lot going on, but in reality, there isn't. I really hope that made sense.
  22. Jasonc
    There was a lot of characters introduced, or more accurately, shown. There weren't too many that had a prominent, active role in it, but with all the action and sequences going on, even for those, it did seem like a lot. With that said, I'm pretty sure that there will be more specific episodes to follow. What has made Macross an easy franchise to attach to, has many times been the characters. I don't see how they'd do that differently here. The characters and their interaction have always been primary, and the interactions of them in relationships, music, and mecha are what bind it all to the franchise.
  23. Jasonc
    Not much one can do about that, when the show actually does grow on someone. That's a good thing.
  24. Jasonc
    I have recasted a few 1/60 parts in the meantime, to try and get ahead, so I am working on those parts in the meantime. I'm gonna get a couple trial sizes of the new rubber mold, and use that to make new molds for both wings, including the 1/60 version. I started on the box for this particular mold again, and it should work very well.
  25. Jasonc
    Agreed. There seems to be a lot of overly vocal Debbie downers, and some of it is warranted. I think between us four, we all did a good job at balancing it out.
