He's got a very punchable face, Basara.....hahahahaha! -
Thanks guys I took that photo just to compare side ships that came with the bigger ones. Both the TOS and Yamato are 1/1000 scale, but I don't think the Yunagi is. Some other cross genre pics. While exploring the expanse in search of the Xindi homeworld, the NX-01 comes across Earth vessels from alternate timelines/universes. Also, Klingon Doc Brown and his time machine. Smaller 1/2500 scale ship (Mecha Collection ships aren't quite to scale). Same bit of fan fiction, SB Yamato, Musashi and Andromeda escort the Enterprise through the expanse to find the Xindi. And since this is a Macross site (sadly not to scale.... SDF-1 should be a lot bigger) OK, last one. These ones are to scale, all 1/1000
-
Lol, there have been posts about who you would cast if Macross was made into a live action film..... Wonder how it would look if Michael Bay did it...... Post your worst case scenarios here, lol!
-
Me too. 2202 was a totally out to lunch, but the models are still awesome 😁
-
No problem. I probably put way too much effort into the Mecha Collection models. Primer, black base then shaded the colors in. I even used different colors between the mini Yamato (Kure gray) and mini Musashi (SSebo gray) but it's barely noticeable. I put in a lot less effort into this one (Yunagi) and it turned out ok. Some detail painting for the parts that weren't molded in color Just clear coated the rest, no primer, no color, no shading. Just gloss straight onto the plastic. Decals (not stickers). Some Tamiya panel lining. Flat clear on top of it all. The Yunagi is the only one using anime-correct colors, and that's because it's just clear on top of the plastic color it came molded in, which actually isn't that bad. Awesome little side ship that came with Yamato..... Too bad they aren't to scale.

Btw, awesome channel for battleship nuts. The guy seems really stressed out though. Dream job, yet probably a ton of pressure. Imagine the burden of preserving such an important piece of history.... Yikes.

Setting aside history and politics for a sec, I think Yamato and Musashi were one of the most amazing battleships ever to to set sail. Someone did a rendition of what Yamato might look like today if she survived. The Man in High Castle did an amazing job of what-if as well, but I think it was set a bit earlier than today. I was binge watching this channel though: After this, I came to the realization that even if the Yamato class ships survived, even as museum ships, it would be financially crippling to maintain them, probably even as museum ships. Surviving combat is one thing, surviving against budget constraints, mother nature, corrosion, and gravity is a whole different ball game. Sadly, games, tv/movies, and scale replicas and is about the only place these ships will live on

I would love to, but my computer is too slow to play Pac Man. Not to mention I am absolutely the worst when it comes to game..... Would probably sink my own ship without the opposing force firing off one round, lol!
-
Thanks! I airbrushed the Mecha Collection models and I could barely see the things without magnification.

🤣🤣🤣

But I do have the Queen's photo up on my cubicle wall 🤣

Some Yamato models. Most of the guys in the model forum have seen these.... Don't think I've posted them in the Yamato threads. Space Battleship Yamato and Space Battleship Musashi being fitted out. I didn't like the Ginga so I created SBY Musashi in my own head canon, lol! Slight variances in the gray paint (Kure for Yamato and Sasebo for Musashi). First models I have ever lit. Smaller Mecha Colle models. SBY Yamato SBY Musashi with the white range finder First Andromeda model I ever built. Just some fun stuff.
-
I finally watched 2202 and was a bit let down, thought I posted a ramble about it but maybe not. Summary: Didn't like enemy ships behaving like a swarm of bees or capital ships moving like small fighter craft. I hope 2205 is better.
-
1/35 scale, wow, can't wait to see this thing done
-
Lol, I didn't think that RT comic would come back and haunt us, yet there it is. Michael Bay up top compared to what it's supposed to look like. Yeah, I'd be concerned about the story somewhat, but I'd be more concerned with what a Vf-1 would look like under his rule. 🤮
-
That would be awesome to have at your desk at work to stare at all day. Love the mouse pad. I had two toys at my work desk but apart from that, I didn't leave much of significant value there. Pic from the start of the pandemic last year.

Sorry guys, the memes are just too funny to resist, I'll stop, hahahahaha! Also, the game of thrones vs Star Wars memes.... Some of those are just epic, Hahahahahaha!!!

His build does look good though. I would dare say it looks less awkward that Bandai's newest 1/72 Variable
-
Oh yeah, the thigh joints.... That looks like a lot of work. I did the same arm thing for my chunkies just for ease of paint, but it left them a bit floppy. Can sort of see it here. Talk about a mangled mess, lol!
-
Ok, I did the joints on my 1/72 chunky Battroids sort of like this guy did for his variable:
-
OK, as I suspected, the variable kit would probably use up a roll of masking tape. With all the joints and sections captured in other sections, I always take forever to figure out how to fill the seams and get paint onto parts trapped in other parts. Battroid looks good.... I think I have another Hasegawa in the pile somewhere
-
Tank treads! When I saw the picture on my phone, the image was hard to make out, but I thought those were supposed to be the feed belts for the link ammo into the gun. EIther way, it looks awesome, all of it. I don't understand, competition finish. Your builds have always been competition finish, at least to me.

TOS and NX done On the right is what's left of the TOS I built as a kid 35 yrs ago. I did that 1/2500 not that long ago so this is the 3rd TOS I've done. Second NX. That little one is the 1/2500 that came with the Enterprise set. Again, the G-Cal decals were awesome. The Aztecs are visible from one angle, and invisible from others. Such a lazy build...hard to unsee the seam lines once you know where to look. I didn't fill a single seam line, lol! OK, this was also not my proudest build, but in my defense, I wasn't even going to build it At least I mostly got rid of the seams between the pylons, but I missed a bunch of others. The purists should have a meltdown after seeing this. I know, the nacelle end aps are from the Pilot, lol! My three 1/1000 Enterprises.
