Mechamaniac

That would be cool if you could maybe spray paint a light dusting of a conductive paint over it, and then have a switch that throws some voltage out into the water causing the facehugger to jump whenever an unsuspecting friend came near it.

Well, what the hell, after the last couple posts, this thread is doomed anyway. Good ole' Richard GERBIL

Bingo

Yeah me too, like a honkey version of those Homies. Hey, I thought they were called Bendable Homies?

OK, gimme the whole squad, and an APC and a Dropship to be sure, that way we don't have to buy those zillion dollar Halcyon models anymore . Hell, even give me a snivelling Burke figure that I can stick pins into in the hopes that somewhere Paul Reiser will cry out in pain. But, fellas, they can keep any sort of Ripley figure, Sigourney Weaver is BU-FUGLY, and always has been, so, no little Ripleys for me. Now, Jonesy the cool ass cat from the first movie? yeah, he rocked!.

That is freaking sweet!! Need to get a set of these....

OK guys, another update from Paul So, there you have it, if there is enough demand for each type it looks as though we can have one case for the Mech heads out there, and one for the art lovers too. Hopefully, now we can come to a consensus! Thanks guys....

Yeah, that image could work, but it would have to be cleaned up a good bit, and corrected. The missiles are way too small, and the tip of the gu-11 is crooked. But, it would satisfy the Mech heads (Me, Blaine23, TheLoneWolf) Keeping with the Mikimoto thing, how about this one for the top? http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/art/mcr221l.jpg

So, any tips for weathering??

it's gotta have a Valk somewhere on it though! Somebody work in a Mikimito Valk somewhere?!?!?

Oh crap, another great design!! I wonder if Paul would let us narrow it down to two or three, and then we could choose. edit - I have added that image to the first page. "it's a contendah!"

I like those too. I really like the lighter artwork for the spine and top. As much as I like that image of the macross in space, the box would be very dark with that image, and the DYRL images from the sides. And either the Max and Millia or the Angel Birds would be good for a TV series reference.

Every time I transformed my 1/48 Hikaru 1A, I thought that tab was going to snap, it is an unfortunate weak point, and I'm surprised that more of these haven't broken.

I thought about doing desert camo, but to me, the idea of a 60 foot robot trying to camoflauge itself especially in the desert, is kind of silly. I am very new at weathering, and what little you see is pastel chalks. I would definitely be interested in any suggestions on how I could grunge it up a bit. I used flat paints, so I don't think a wash will go over too well, but I'll try anything. I also need to get some good decals (cough Anasazi cough) since the standard PG stickers are pure crap. And yeah, those are the 1/35 Labors, and the Hummer is a converted Motorworks Hummer that I snagged at Wal Mart, repainted, and decaled up to be a labor command car using the left over decals and dry transfers from the three MG kits.

Yeah, the molded color on those heat hawks is horrid. I'm trying to decide what color to do the weapons in... Thanks!

Actually, that's what I was going for. When I was in the Army during the first gulf war, all of our Hummers looked that way, since they all got that "oh crap we're going to the desert" quick desert camo makeover.

Some pics of my "almost" completed Desert PG Zaku. Sorry for my crappy digicam, but let me know what you guys think...

I added Blaine23's latest creations to the first page. In my opinion, that last one is the best so far. It is the best blending of nice imagery, and makes the box exactly half and half SDF, and DYRL.

THAT IS THE SHIGGITY BOMB DITTY!!!!!!

After we had the images settled on we were planning to finalize what logo's/titles to use, where the logo's would go, and how big we wanted them to be. It would probably be easier to paste that on after getting the art finalized. I do like the top strip idea though. Maybe a SDF Macross title logo, along with our MW exclusive blurb within the bar. Has anyone adjusted the MW logo to read World on the bottom instead of the Summer '84, or did we want to keep that? Yeah, we do need to add some sort of MW logo to it somewhere....

No, as long as the images we ultimately provide to Paul are of high enough resolution, and in the correct format, they can be sized and/or resized almost indefinitely without becoming too distorted.
