    Doubtful, 2 different networks have to fight over legality issues even if it's owned by DC and WB. Arrow and the Flash are easier cause they're done by similar production teams on the same network. Even though so far from what I watched there's been no knowledge of WHEN in Gotham this takes place.

    Found some additional photos of both the RG Wing Zero and EZ-SR. I'm really just waiting for preorders to pop up. I can almost see doing a Blue-Destiny custom to the EZ-SR it's that cool looking of a design.

    this is actually going to be very interesting, it almost makes me wanna build a MG variant just so I have 3 sizes. The PG came out okay, the lighting no longer works, it's just to damn difficult to get it right my hands aren't steady enough for the tight spacing you're given to get it right. I just have the left wing and buster rifle to go and it's done. Oh another note, I got Fenice Rinascita waiting at the post office for me to pick up in couple of hours. We'll see how much of a touch it this'll need.

    well I'm home sick with a cold, I don't have much to do so I was going to try again with the wiring annnnnnddd I lost a clip and a screw. No idea where or how. I think really I'm just ready to go button this thing up and just say I'm done.
  5. Hikuro
    I'm okay with this decision, but I think we'll hear a lot of griping over the gattling vulcan guns.

    I tried all night to get it going....I F'ed up bad on it somehow and I dunno where. I think it's just more of the line that it's hard to get the screws in place with those damn metal pins.

    Yeah still a little hard to tell. I've seen this guys video and from what I gathered he couldn't even get his to light up so he goofed somewhere. and I think it was that he just placed the wires wrong area. sadly my day is pretty busy I hope that after I come back from puppy training I can sit down, look these over and figure it out better. It DOES show like what was said couple days ago, you got a ton more slack in the wiring than what's really needed...I could almost see where if you're not careful and you put in to much pressure on bunching them all up you could pop a wire out of place. It was interesting cause when I did the screwing on the chest piece, the screws were very loose fitting, but the time I got to the head unit, VERY tight fit, no way those were going to wiggle off like the chest portion did and that's what took so damn long to do. Just gonna contemplate it for a while, I don't wanna muck this up.

    Okay so if I'm understanding it, on step 54 it's telling me to cut the exposed ends of the wires and screw them in place which that'll be interesting cause the screws can't punch thru 1 wire let alone two. But which set of wires? The wires connecting to the chest portion or the wires connecting to the head portion? Does it really even matter? Step 55 is that showing me I need to take the last 2 bits of wire cut them to 25mm and some how loop them around the circuit board? How the hell do I do that with tiny lil wires? Then it doesn't even really tell you where those wires really need to connect too cause they cut the diagram in half!

    I don't mind the Version 1 GM, it's a quick and easy build but it HAS TOO have a paint job to get it right. Version 2, not so much. It at least has more of an inner frame than the Version 1 did. Kind of like how I just built an arragement of GM's last month....all the latest versions, and then I built the original RGM-79 1/144 from WAAAAY back and the articulation and detailing is VERY basic and not so exciting. But gosh darnit, it was fun. I dabbled a bit on my Wing Zero....I mainly attached some skirt armor and finished building the head. I'm at a loss on the wiring, the diagram just isn't helpful enough. I'll take a picture tomorrow morning I had a long day, but I could use some guidance to see if anyone sees something I'm not.

    The War Doctor only made hard choices because the 8th Doctor wanted no part in the time wars, but after his accident and the death of someone he tried to save who declined because she thought the Time Lords were just horrible people, he felt he needed to find a way to end this fight himself. 9th Doctor, I dunno how to really place him. Because in that first episode he makes comments over his regeneration like it had not happened very long ago. Yet when Rose is researching him, there's pictures of him all over different ages and history lik ehe's been around for centuries in that body. Even in the end of the first season he exclaims it's been a long time since he regenerated. 10th Doctor, he still had some anger built up and even defied his principles as a time lord cause he was the last. It was always about establishing who he was and what he could do and to damn with the rest. But this attitude of his got a lot of people killed. There aren't a lot of episodes I can think of where there were many, if at all, survivors of his battles. 11th Doctor threw all of that away, it was like he was saying time for a fresh new start and saw that happening with the help of Amy. And with this new face and attitude he tossed everything aside and made peace with his mistakes. Though the mention of it tears him up and he tries to run from it. This doctor, he hasn't established himself I think, and like many times after the Doctor regenerates he gets jumpy and misplaced and takes time to adjust. Memories get jumbled and sometimes lost. Is he good? is he evil? He's a bit of both. I dunno, I"m getting deep and rambling. But he's only 4, now wha? 5 episodes in? It took a while for ppl to grow with Matt Smith, even I wasn't big on him. I think Capaldi is trying to be a doctor that everyone related too way long ago. But we got so use to Matt Smith's version that we're forgetting what the Doctor really is.

    Oh snap I got my LED dealios in and they were actually 2 sets. So now either my Sazabi or my 1/500ever Yamato can has lights. Well, if I do Yamato I need a red one. Oh woops forgot, wing zero's head now lights up, which is a plus! Most of the torso is built, tomorrow I'll be building the armor around the head and getting that back pack up and running.
  12. Hikuro
    was having enough problems holding the wires in place so I can screw them in. I wish had had a soldering iron to seal the deal!

    I've built a PG before, long long time ago....I wanna say 2005 when the Strike PG came out. I was at a convention and stumbled upon it quite by accident. Paid I think 200 for it : / which was pretty steep. But I had a huge cash flow back then and it was just one of like a dozen items I picked up. THAT didn't require any wiring at all. And then I built a Zaku II when Amazon had an oops and I believe it was being sold for dirt freaking cheap (think like 75%) and they had no choice but to honor it. That one I don't remember having wiring either. But in any case..... I F&8KING DID IT! It was a pain! It took me 45 minutes. I stripped both ends cause I thought it would be a little easier with less insulation since the screw do NOT fit into the holes they need to go in. The black wire kept popping out so I'd have to stop and rescrew it in. I'm a little worried though cause I cut like a small bit off, maybe like a millimeter by accident trying to strip it. Then I thought of a safer way to do it. Gave it a test like the instructions said, so the Gray wire is the negative and the Black wire is the Positive just as the manual instructs. That's all I'm doing tonight. Oh, and tomorrow I have a Bandai green LED light system coming in for the Hi-Nu to decalre it 100% complete.

    Here's where I'm at after nearly 2 months of working on my PG Wing Zero. Wiring....wiring....wiring. but despite some issues, the overall look of the Hi-Nu Vers Ka came out well!
  15. Hikuro
    good job! pretty clean assembly. I've been moving onto my PG wing zero and now at the wiring phase. as I look and study hard my brain says "oh this shouldn't be to hard!" so my confidence is building.
  16. Hikuro
    it'd been nice if they gave you the options of either or. Honestly, there's almost nothing about this kit where stickers couldn't of been used. My funnels are done, not that pretty but they'll do just fine. Shield is done as well...I skipped the smaller stickers, they're distracting. Leaves me with the beam rifle, hyper bazooka and the boosters to go....I really just want to finish this damn thing and move on.
  17. Hikuro
    exactly. that's exactly what I've been doing. I wanted to wait till all my decals were set but after placement they'd shift or fall off without warning. so I'd have too spray coat.
  18. Hikuro
    right. with the normal sticker sheet you get from various kits they're much easier to put on but difficult in some cases to place exactly where they need to go due to the way they're contoured cut just a bit thick. rub on transfers or dry transfers really limit that to almost 0 contour cut, BUT if you don't rub it well enough or careful during the peel off you'll lose chunks of the graphic. water slide decals will still have a contour cut like stickers but will usually be thinner. just soak in water and while waiting a good 30 seconds for the decal to slide off I prep the area with a cotton swab of microseal then apply the decal and with the seal I rub the decal with it so it'll bond better. once the part is decaled you should matte spray to make sure the detail stays on.
  19. Hikuro
    I don't remember the RG's coming with decals....Exia didn't come with any. I dunno what's up with Bandai's decal treatment, while they're raised they feel cheap. They don't take as long to wet and roll off like some I"ve encountered on other models. But they are certainly thin as hell and tend to peal or tear very easily! What REALLY gripes me is the constant lil ones with the circles on them, and they gotta have like 50 of these lil suckers. I'm adding them, cause, well, you wanna. But they tend to drop off easily.
  20. Hikuro
    okay new rule. If you EVER do decals, do NOT wait until the kit is finished. Matte spray each section, Arms, Shoulders, torso, waist, legs, backpack, armaments. I was gonna matte spray this after everything was done so it'd be easy. but dammit I lost like 7 decals in total and I'm pissed about that.
  21. Hikuro
    if I got time tomorrow...I'm going to play decal wars with the Hi-Nu. There's I think 120+ of them the bulk majority being caution, warning, no step kind of junk. Otherwise the kit is done. extremely back heavy. I would normally go buy a 1/100 stand for this thing but it comes with one. I however do not like the stand it comes with and may end up picking up the basic, painting it and go from there.

    Hey, you're the one starting a bogus ass thread to vent your frustrations over a pair of movies you couldn't even watch properly cause you chose to see it without subtitles. It'd of been proper ettique to of done this www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=34315 Here or on a topic already specifically relating to the frontier films. Here's my thing, you're upset over the way the movie ended in a particular format you hate seeing, where you're left to question and wonder what happened to Alto. Guess what? if you watch the TV series, you're left with a very similar set of questions. So why be upset? This is how a lot of the Macross films are actually done. DYRL - you know Hikaru chooses Misa, but the two go off on the Megaroad 01 and WHAM! something happened to them and you'll never know. Zero - Did Shin die? Did he survive? where did he go? Again, we'll never know. 7 - Basara flies off back into space just as Mylene shows up. Did he fly back to the 7th fleet? did he go off to follow the whales? Did he remember to gas up and grab some snacks before he took off? We'll never know. Plus - Same thing, wtf happened to Dyson and Myung? I mean he's not just gonna get away with what he did with a slap on the wrist or a heroes welcome. He'd be up for some serious jail time or even a firing squad. I don't think Millard could cover his ass. Frontier TV Series - I won't spoil it, but again, questions are raised. Let me ask you this, cause I'm not from your area of China you proclaim to be from. Why are there no english subtitled variants available for you? Is it just cause of the country? Or are there internet limitations on what you can look for? While I'm not able to post links to various websites giving fansub treatment to such great franchise lines like Frontier, I would be willing to help you out in private. There are many stream websites and torrents available to download not only the films but the tv series as well so you can have a better idea of what was going on and maybe feel a little less stupid and griping cause you didn't understand what was going on clearly enough. But as for your last statement, I can come and go to any thread I want, YOU'RE the one who opened it. If you don't like that, don't create a thread. I, a so called Makuros l337 board member, am at least offering you a chance to not look like a total ass and give you the resources you need to know what's going on in the franchise.
  23. Hikuro
    oh I'm sorry, somewhere I must of asked if you cared. Wait, I didn't.
  24. Hikuro
    as far as I'm concerned, this is something that should of belonged in the n00b section of the forums.

    The Rogue if I remember right is more of the pirate's GM from the 3rd story arc of AGE....which AGE....eeeehhh. Now THAT I remember ppl complaining those were some of the worst designs and kits possible in the Bandai line. I'm working on my Hi-Nu ver Ka. I suggest a word of caution to some, the plastic on this thing is sooooofffft. I realized I made a mistake on the foot that I should of had a V8 on. So I was taking the back purple part off the heel and I usually am slow and careful, but m y grip was a little to much and I stressed the plastic on the side panel of that piece...if I had broken it, th at'd of been it, kit would of been worthless. I do like the amount of detail this thing has though...I'm enjoying the quick yet extensive detailed build of this. I'm keeping all of the sections as divided up as possible for easier decal placement.
