Sound levels sound pretty good. I haven't listened to it through my t.v., but from my computer, I can say, great job! Very impressed with your work.
-
They don't offer replacement parts anymore. Also, as EXO said, they don't get back to anyone, and are pretty much done. Their customer service is horrible, and they've ripped off a member here. They used to be great, but I wouldn't go near there with a ten foot pole.

Put me on the bandwagon for wanting hardpoints on the wings, like the VF-1.

See if you can return it. If both arms are broken, they might have some sort of return policy. I bought mine a long time ago, and never had any breakage issues (finger's crossed). Buying one of the grey goggle ones might be your best chance at getting a fixed version.

I don't think Tatsunoko even cares about all that. It's probably a relationship that simply allows HG to put a check into Tat's hands every year or whatever, and that is all.

Hey all, for those of you that keep up with the Macross the First title, if you have a facebook account, we've set up a group dedicated to the series. Just search us on Facebook. I know you guys like to chat about this stuff, so it's another venue to get the word out about this great series.

I agree, and that's why I'm not going to go out of my way to defend somebody's poor decisions, or their inability to create anything original that is worthwhile. I wouldn't criticize someone who just passed, out of respect for the passing, but it's definitely been enough time where we can all criticize and post thoughts on past ideas and directions.

Yamato 1/60 VF-17 Nightmare Diamond Force
Jasonc replied to charger69's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
Wow, what a size difference. The 17 looks like a 1/100 compared to a 1/60. Transformed this toy about 8 times so far, and still solid, no scratches, dings, etc. It's still brand spankin' new. -
Just got the gun after it has been fixed and had some issues addressed. I'm not going to recast this piece, but if you want one, you can order it here: http://www.shapeways.com/model/396147/ Attached are pics of the piece, and if you decide to get one, it'll be the same as what is in the pictures. It's probably preferable if you get it in the WSF Polished material, instead of the regular WSF material. Anyways, enjoy.

Sounds like extra work. Hope it turned out alright.

Not ignorance...maybe tasteless, but not ignorant. As for the degrees of insanity amongst the RT fandom, I think the reason why they ALL seem a bit insane, is due to what we've come to understand. That is, all the "normal" fans just don't care, and don't need to express their orgasm for a made up piece of internet hearsay. The rt.com website has very much pushed the fandom into the current state of looking like a bunch of lunatics, by praising stupidity and blind faith, and shunning those that have a good valid opinion. I'm not saying anyone who has a positive look on anything Robotech is out there, but when rt.com has mass bans right after Shadow Chronicles, then right after the Carl Macek documentary, and usually after every release, there's a problem. That problem is on their end.

This looks so much better than what was on the Toynami VF-1R. Good stuff. Are the lasers/antennae going to swivel? If I had a 1/48, I'd be on this like white on rice.
-
If I still had the supplies, I'd probably be able to help you out. At the moment, I'm looking to purchase new equipment for recasting, minus the compressor.

No, "Pot calling the kettle..." is suggesting hypocracy in the intended subject's statement. "Ignorance is ignorant", is simply stating the obvious.

I wish it was only going to be about $400. Based on the hours spent, materials needed, hardware, it's going to be around $500+. That said, there's lots and lots of time before anything is done with this, so when/if time gets close to completion, I'll probably put up an inerest thread for it. Just to give you an idea, I've been working on one part literally all day, just one part, only to realize that the core section was designed wrong to begin with. So I'm starting over with it, and it should be done hopefully tomorrow. Thank God for the mirror function. I only have to do one part at time.
-
Thanks!!! I used to make stuff from styrene and other materials, and still do to some extent when need to. With this method, you can still make stuff that seems right, but doesn't work the way it needs to. The good thing though, is the ability to look at the part, and make changes after it's virtually built. I will admit, some of these pieces are kicking my ass, just cause I'm not a pro by any means. I'm glad math is a strong suit, or I probably wouldn't be doing this.

http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/models/she/she_va3.htm That's the location here, that has pics of the box, the instructions, and just about everything inside the box. I believe you're right. The outside of the box only mentions VA-3, and no other variant of that. However, the pic on top of the box shows it under water in one of the pics. I'm sure they intended it to be an underwater efficient model, but I do agree, the M variant is a much nicer look. If I am able to get that far, I will try for that once this comes together. At the moment, I'm attempting to model the upper leg exterior piece. It's probably the most complicated piece so far, as it has a lot of arc, and curvature. Not fun, but it's slowly coming along. I also noticed during this part, that a connector joint was turned the wrong way (easy fix). If I finish this part in 2 days, I think it'd be a miracle. I'm also trying some new processes that will allow a smoother curve that what I've been doing before. Hope to have some pics up soon.

"Do you remember, that ol' lullabyyyyyyyy". Sorry, the song is stuck in my head today.

Are you referring to an original drawing, or something more like from a graphics designer using existing art? I've been trying to gather art for my M7 DVDs, and if I ask nicely, my wife may be able to put something together, as that's her profession.

"Flash Crapper"??? "Light Rifting"??? I almost feel like I need to put those posts on ignore just because they don't contribute a damn thing, but they are so F'ing goofy.
-
Watched it yesterday, and feeling like I really need that VF-4. Great freakin' homage to the show.

Yeah, I don't see big gaps in mine, either. Seems pretty solid to me. -
You can add me to really enjoying the new banner. I also like the new kite bullet points in the forums as well. Just noticed those when coming in today. Nice touch.
-
That's great to hear. Awaiting the update that says you're done.

All the "Scoopda" is here already. Probably the last thing we need is a second thread to confuse where info is coming from. That's great and all, but why not just have it set to choose the original mono, or the crappy 5.1? Yeah, I'm sure there's a reason for it, but I think the overall consensus is that people don't really like the new SFX nearly as much as they maybe should. It's just one of those, "Yeah, you messed up" things.
