    can't totally comment on the newer Macross stuff, but usually intake symbols and the UN Spacy kite will be tampo. Stuff like "No Step" and smaller details will need sticker application. Shouldn't be horrible though. But who knows, might not be much of squat to put on there.

    Macross 30

    I swear to god, if this is another one of those games like what we get on the PSP where it's all the timeline missions and the same thing AGAIN and AGAIN, I will end them.

    How are you not surprised by this move? They will milk the crap out of the Prime 2.0 mold again I'm sure. Prime, Magnus, Nemesis Prime, Dead Prime, shattered glass Prime, clear prime, Lucky Draw Gold Prime. I wouldn't even be shocked if next year we see Soundblaster, I really wouldn't.

    I wouldn't be surprised if it'll be this summer, and no later than next.

    Better looking than TF Prime's Dreadwing F-35 wanna be. But either way the Aerial Bots are a pass for me. I'm happy enough with the Energon version with the appendage parts I got long time ago. Not too mention the price is just to damn high and I'm sure someone else will do a cheaper version one day. I'm more looking forward to Fansproject's Not-Menasor.

    The reason i think the movie isn't doing well is 1) It didn't make summer list, it made the official Fall listing. Which isn't good news for movie goers as people are adjusting with kids back to school and don't have a lot of money to spend at a theater. 2) Back at the kids subject, kids can't go watch it, it's to violent. There's blood, guts, brains, F bomb here and there, rape, brief nudity. Stuff you don't want to subject your kids too. 3) Studios didn't focus on a balance between internet and TV ads. I have not seen 1 TV ad in my area for Dredd, but I've seen a lot on youtube, Google, Facebook etc. They wanted to focus to much on the nerds and not enough for the people who spend their days watching movies. Hell the only reason I even knew about the film was this thread!

    Girlfriend and I saw it on 3D. and this was really a film that was for 3D most notably during Slo-Mo drug segments, I mean wow. The movie was great, acting was great, effects were awesome, story is simple and yet ballsy and make sense to me which makes me think of this more like the day in the life of Dredd versus what Stallone put out there over a decade ago. What I didn't like was the attendance level where i saw it. Normally a 3D movie has a good crowd, but because of the violence level of the film you can't have kids come in and watch it so that was a bummer to see a 90% empty theater room for the size it was. I mean there were probably 8 viewers for a room that would seat 150-200. BUT, I will say that this film is a buy on my Blu-ray list.

    Hmmm, if it's as big as the original MG, then that's a damn near buy for me.

    would love to see stuff like this for my DYRL Dub Bluray cover if I ever make one.

    Soooooooooo something like how Gunpla Builders ova was designed?
  12. Hikuro
    Surprisingly the Girlfriend is excited to see this. I better keep her away from the Stallone version till after Friday night. I hadn't decided if I wanna watch it in 3D though.
  13. Hikuro
    Interesting that it can now be downloaded digitally thru Xbox, Playstation and iTunes. I went ahead and picked it up on Playstation so I can watch it in 3D possibly this week at home. But it's suppose to also come with the bonus Features. What praytell that all exactly means I dunno.
  14. Hikuro
    Ya know the old saying, if you don't go watch the movie they wont make them sequels later on.

    Fairly similar, but the costume has more definition and a completely different helmet. Still, there's 3 other variants of Robocop for this film, so maybe it'll get used?

    So over the weekend my girlfriend helped me clean up (Mostly cause I'm prepping for my delivery of a 46 inch 3D tv) and helped look for the missing neck piece I need for my Valk to finish. Sadly though we couldn't find the missing piece so this project is almost scrapped and that's a big bummer! It'd be great if I could find a broken valk no one wants and strip it for parts but I don't see that happening anytime soon.

    I dig the design, very nice. I always found taping to be a bitch, but I've gotten more experienced and knowing how it works, but it's never really full proof. I think the most successful tape job I ever did was my megascale RX-78-2 I did last month. That was I'd dare to say a flawless tape job. I didn't have any over spray on that sucker. I guess the trick would be as you're laying down the tape, if there are any panel lines to press the edge of your finger nail down at the edge of the tape to seal it. Then run your thumb over the tape to get a good seal there as well. Or more vice versa so you don't got any air pockets or anything to let paint seep thru. It's really a lot more difficult with Valkyries than it would be for gundams. I experienced this a lot with my build kit with a lot of black and blue for my trim pieces seeping paint into unwanted areas. Mostly because paint schemes from MtF like Hikaru's or what you're doing recquire a ton of taping that has to be seperated into layers first, then stripped, and cleaned, then done again. I noticed that even though I'm using blue painters tape and it says it leaves no adhesive behind, it actually is leaving a lot of adhesive behind!

    So no one even remembers what a STAF is?

    this is it for a while. Don't got anymore time to perfect it any further for a while.

    Not really digging it right now, let's hope the magic of cgi will help it's colors and style.

    Ya know, I dunno there should be a way seeing how people customize the figure later on. It might involve a small flat head screw driver to pinch one side of the clip. Problem is it's also magnetically clinged into place. Question is, do you really want to remove them from a 500 dollar toy? I never really bothered looking at that option with mine since I did what I needed to the platforms before I snapped them in place.

    Sadly my Megazone 23 Part 2 Garland is trashed. A plastic piece holding the front end and the main body of the garland snapped and thus the two halves wont connect anymore. Glue didn't even put a damn dent in the problem.

    Valks stuff is better imo. There've been stories of horrid customer service and bad casting jobs from MIM, some not so much on this kit, but others. I've also heard that while you get "quick shipping" and all items are "available" they actually have to cast your order which takes a month or two depending when the caster wants to get to it.

    Then I'd say anyones bases are covered if they need both modes.
