Nope, the last item is not the movie program (this is the Movie Program). *Edit, oops, misread your post Beltane70

It's from the ARII 1/100 Heavy Weapons series, released in 1984. I've actually been looking for this one. Thanks for the link

Congrats Knight!

Thanks for all of your past and present help, Devin. I've got your low-vis decals on my CF and fastpacks and just love them. Congrats to you for your marriage and real-life advancements!

Do it, jenius. Orguss mecha is extremely cool, though pricing and availability are starting to get poor. My collection pales next to guys like Drifand's or Solscud's, but I'm very proud of it nonetheless

Cool, jenius The Max & Milia 1Js actually look pretty cool in GBP imho...

I'm still in the process of moving into my new place, and still unpacking, but took the opportunity to take a couple snaps of some of my collection (sorry, nothing on display yet). I have some more stuff still packed, and a few more things on order that I haven't received yet (Angel Birds, VF-0A, 1/100 VF-1Js). Yamato and misc stuff: Takatoku Orguss stuff: Model Kits:

I don't think you'll have a problem there, Luke, else Graham wouldn't have offered to try to have it shown. I think the holy one would much more likely get a big kick out of seeing what you've done with one of his designs... like making an SV-51 actually FLY

I like Hurin's parts list/advice above. Very similar to what I'm considering buying sometime soon. The only thing I'd personally change would be the video card (X1900/X1950XTX), as I'm partial to the ATI stuff myself*. *The nVidia card Hurin mentions will work great, and will give you excellent frame rates, but the filtering quality is not quite as good as the X1900 IMHO. This is only really an issue when running high resolutions along with high levels of AA/AF.

Oh, man, I know what you're talking about. I'm in the midst of moving right now, and ended up with about 6 boxes, each about half the size of the one in your pictures. The transportation aspect was bad, but what was worse was packing it all up Took many hours, spread over the course of a few nights.

I wonder how much yellowing a 12,000 year old chunky monkey would have?

Are you going to make these decals available to the rest of us? I have an Angel Bird on order, and would like the option of correct decals

Thanks for the info KingNor. What you guys are doing is very cool. For any of the doubters out there, the combination of VP (Virtual Pinball) and VPMAME (Virtual Pinball Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) are an outstanding effort to replicate the original experience of gaming at a real arcade pinball table. They feature very realistic and lifelike representation of the original tables, and I can tell you firsthand that they work very well. This is not "video pinball" as you know it!

KingNor, I guess my next question is: Do you have a software-only distro that you guys are willing to sell licenses for? It's probably not within my current budget to buy your table, but I'm sure that I could swing the money for the inner-workings Inquiring minds would like to know. Edit - jenius, if it is supported in VPinmame, my guess is that it should be supported by KingNor & Co's hardware.

Yes, and it is awesome (your table is even awesomer). I have a HotRodSE controller which has the nice pinball flipper/coin up buttons, which works great for my limited uses. I mainly play the late 80s/early 90s tables which you don't find in arcades anymore, like Funhouse, PartyZone, T2, Gilligan's Isle, etc. Just curious, but are you guys licensing the ROMs/software? I'm not going to run out and blab on you or anything, just curious.

That looks like a VEFR-1 rather than the more refined Elint. I always thought that the gerwalk rabbit with fastpacks was more of a joke than anything else, but it would be cool to see someone model it nonetheless.

Beat me to it. Have a hotdog! Rudy is a sadistic little feller . I don't know exactly how much money I've spent playing that table, but I bet it would buy a Yamato 1/48 or two... BTW KingNor, is this VPinmame based?

I really dig that rear 3/4 pic of the gerwalk Cowie. Will take your suggestion on the weighting of the legs, as soon as I can get around to a build-up....

If helicopters are allowed, you can't forget the Transformer "Whirl", which was actually a recolor of the Takatoku Ovelon Gazzete from Dorvack. http://1500bc.com/pretf/dorvack.html

Nice, Cowie! I have a 1/100 Max Variable that I've been thinking about doing something with, and you've given me some inspiration. Thanks for posting up the build process

Where did you place your preorder? I need to do that myself.

It sounds as if you speak from experience, JBZERO Dunno, from the pic it does look as if it is in fact the Toynami Voltron... Any Voltron experts here?

No Kidding! SOC is a must buy... Just keeps looking better and better.

I think that the VF-X-4 was the one using reconstituted VF-1 parts, the Lightning III is a substantially different bird. I don't think we'll be getting a VF-4, for the same reasons mister_e states above

I'm sure that some here have already seen it, but found this while browsing Youtube. Very cool short interview video with Noriko Hidaka and Rei Sakuma, with some footage of them doing actual voice over work. Check it out!
