    These issues are why I think the "intakes" are strictly for cooling. The design really doesn't make any sense, but if it had to make sense, the engines throughout this thing would need to operate on an engine that doesn't use the same conventional engines we're used to seeing. That said, the chest intakes maybe intakes that take in the environment (Air, not sure about space although space is cold already) and combines with a liquid or gas that gets disbursed in the leg and arm engines for heat dissipation.

    That was my question above. Like the VF-1. Those fins rotate, but lock in the position they're supposed to be stationed at in Fighter and Battroid.

    I have this book, and love it. I also have the VFX-2 book. Both great books.

    Is there a way to blend in the characters in the front part of the cover with the background, i.e. take out the box look of the picture by cutting out the pictures space background? I think that would really enhance that cover.

    There's a page on Shapeways that has detail about the materials and tolerances for the different choices. WSF and WSF polished can produce details down to .2mm. They have others that are even better, but you're paying maybe 3x the amount.

    If they did that, I would've been in for 2 Bs, 2 Cs, and 2 GBP sets.

    I don't think the writing has changed too much, moreso than the animation style, and the age of us. I can almost guarantee that once the young viewers get older, they're going to remember Full Metal Alchemist, Gurren Laga, and all these popular animes, and say the same thing: "The new anime isn't as good as they used to make them in 2010."

    I figured it wasn't Yune art. Nevertheless, it does apear to be copied, one direction or another. I like the pic in the doujin. Don't care much for the colored one.
  9. Jasonc
    Then I would say yes, if that's the art in question.

    Macross Books

    Jasonc replied to Penguin's topic in Collectors

    I should've added in my last post. Had a chance to go to Kinokuniya, update my discount card, and pickup second copies of the Macross the First mangas. Hoping we see pics soon of the cover for book 4 come April/May.

    I think there's more of a bias towards Yamato, simply because they have a much more extensive list of Macross toys, and they do listen to us (or at least that's the perception). Bandai's line of Macross toys, while limited, has usually been on the lighter side, and with the mess of the version 1 VF-25 line, got a bad wrap. I will say that they have definitely put out a praise worthy show with the version 2 of them.

    Good stuff The January/Feb issue of Playboy w/ Lindsay Lohan. Not Macross related, but for those curious about it, her photo session in it wasn't that great.

    Music Covers?

    Jasonc replied to Cuda's topic in Fan Works

    I remember seeing that, and trying to make sense of it, and just giving up, and figuring it out on my own. Some poeple just have their own way of writing stuff, I guess, LOL.

    That doujin doesn't look like Tommy's art at all. If it was his, the clothes would look painted on, and he'd look like he's hopped up on steroids.
  16. Jasonc
    I don't even know the artwork Tommy did that you're referring to.
  17. Jasonc
    Probably the best way to find out about it, is to simply stay tuned on this thread. Any info will probably be relayed through here.

    Music Covers?

    Jasonc replied to Cuda's topic in Fan Works

    OK, here's my tab for Holy Lonely Night. It's unfinished, as the res of it is mostly the same, with slight variations. Still working out the solo, but this should get anybody wondering about it some help. I've seen other tabs that are pretty accurate note wise, but I think the styling of the way Fukuyama plays is probably close to this. Enjoy. Not sure what to put up next, but if anyone has requests, and I can do it, I'll put it up, or as much as I know.

    I like second option better as well. Of the bat...On the rear of the cover, I'd replace one of the pictures, probably the two hands or the Hikaru kissing Misa, with a pic of the Valkyries. As a cover, you want to get people's attention, and those that would be on the fence, you have enough of the drama and romance in the Minmay and one of the other two I mentioned, one of the apparent enemy, and one of the SDF-1, but you need one that shows more of the smaller highlights, i.e. the Valkyrie or Valkyries in action. Second critique would be the verbage on the back. It is hard to read, so perhaps a different color, or black background. You can also try boinger's suggestion. Either way, it is very difficult to read. I'm also not too big on the space background being throughout the entire picture, as it does make it a little busy, but I like the overall concept.

    I may have to upgrade to 5 then. I have 4, but didn't really use it much. I'll probably take that template and write out some of what I have tomorrow. I'll post it up here if I can then. BTW, thanks for the info and the template. As for your work. Great job. I picked up this song around September. With the new mini studio I have, I should be recording more. How did you get the drum track? What did you use for that?

    I noticed the leg fins move in early pics of the same line art. I do hope that the standard fixed position is parallel like in the line art. Either way, our next pic should be either of an updated CAD, or maybe a clay model of it?
  22. Jasonc
    Kicker, that display is awesome. You should consider putting some background pics behind the display cabinet. I know for my future display, I want to put up pics of the interior of the SDF-1 from DYRL, perhaps some pics of space, or fleets of ships, hangars, etc. At least you have an entire room dedicated to your collection. I have 1/3 a room, and it's already full. Nice, high, and tight packing. Good work.

    Unfortunately, I've never heard of this member before. Usually pms have email notifications. If you know his first and last name, perhaps you can find him on facebook?

    As a kid back in the day, I couldn't figure that out either just by the pictures. I kinda had to imagine that the intakes were more of a generator for creating cold air that would cool the power source, wether reactor, Robotech's power source, or HBT. It'd have to be directed from the intake, to the chest, then down to the hip area, and directed at the engines. Very unnecessarily complicated, but that was my idea.

    Music Covers?

    Jasonc replied to Cuda's topic in Fan Works

    Speaking of Macross music, does anyone know of a tab form on computer that you can put in the tabs and then simply print or post up the finished product as a .pdf or .doc? I've been looking for something like that so I can put up the tabs I have for many of these Macross songs. I don't write them out, but I'd like to. If there isn't anything like that, I should create one.
