Well Happy Birthday Makina!

Yup, your 4th screenshot has the pic with the crest on the shield.

Maybe it's the labor/ material costs in China or wherever they're building and the exchange rates that's a factor the price increase? Like Jenius said too many unknowns.

I wonder if it's something like apoxie sculpt that's shaped?

GRUMPY SEACAT FIRST.

Reminds me of Heathcliff.

The Shapeways one looks like it'll be compatible with the Yamato Yeti adapters.

Is the stand adapter included or do we order from Shapeways?

HLJ has the Nexx and stand alone SAP at order stop.

Sounds crazy as it may, but it seems as if the top spine of fighter is actually the left + right arm.

*snip* *snip*

The patterm of the forearm (left area in the pic) on corresponds to the area behind the cockpit, and the other forearm has the tail attached.

Then the area behind the cockpit dissapears, thus making way for the BFG to pop up.

I was thinking the same thing when you 1st posted the pics last week. Now I'm thinking how they gonna strengthen the wings/wingtip area so it can hold the drones without it drooping or getting loose and floppy

Looks way better!

Reminds me of a 2pc textile motorcycle suit with knee sliders and shoulder armor.

Edit: Sorry, I was thinking of this when you said duty uniform and not the flight suit though I love that pic below.

Looks like the Yamato 1/2000 SDF-1. The connectors fo the ARMD to the shoulders look beefier on the 1/1800 vs the 1/2000. Also the display stand looks like the Yamato one.

Maybe the carriers have built in canons that are exposed when it splits/folds?

If we know the size of the Valks, can you use the ones on the deck as a measure?

The deck looks longer than the quarter's from frontier, and hence the whole ship would be larger.

Let's just call it Macross Half . If the VF-31s are about the same size as the VF-25s:

Macross Quarter ARMD-L full view:

Macross Quarter Partial ARMD-L with VF-25's on deck:

VF-25 on Lift:

Interesting that the sides can split or fold. Looks like that new carrier can launch up to 5 valks at a time (9 if you count the short angled ones) vs 3 for the ARMD-L. One in the middle (maybe for a bigger VB-6 type since it leads straight into the bigger middle hangar and 4 on each section that splits.

The 31A looked as if it doesn't have those large fold quartz crystals. I wonder why.

It's there. Just painted over to keep with the low viz scheme.

Gerwalk got the 3 point stance going on!

Anyone else notice the 31C's radome is more an oval than a perfect circle? Or was I seeing things?

It's oval/diamond shaped. You can see it in the shot above the planet with the boosters on and also watch it spinning when Chuck is talking on the coms. It's uneven when spinning.

Can't wait to see Battroid but one thing I know now:

Love these spoiler tags:

Gerwalk looks kinda YF-19/SV-51 mix like where the shoulders are above the wings that are bent. It also looks like the Nose part bottom split open then comes up a little to shield the front of the cockpit. Love how the inner part of the tailfin/shield has a logo.

Edit: I thought the nose splits in half and goes to side of the cockpit but it was the silver part that looks like it moves up a little. And it looks like what I was looking at in the front is it was still transforming. It goes back flush afterwards. Great spoiler tagged pics of the sequence in the ep2 thread. Here is one pic:

Need at least 2 of Keith's. One will be in gerwalk!

Good luck! If it turns out great then I'm following right behind you!

Well, that was announced during the broadcast of ep.1 last week; the really BIG news is that there is going to be a full, proper Walkure concert in August in Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya!

If 3d hologram projecton included I'm there.

Going by the intro, I guess they have enough articulation to grab the beam canon from the back/harness in battroid?

Great grabs Seti!

Isn't there some on the MW legacy link on the main page under the collection/toys?
