Need some help guys. I was bored today since i have relatives over for the weekend, so i start building a hybrid battle 7 from macross 7. I used the mospeda legs since I realy like the design and use a head/bridge section from the gloria and the rest loosely based off battle 7. The thing is its transformable without too much anime magic, just the upper legs slid in to the lower legs like the mospeda anime. but strangly when I transform it, it looks like the love child of battle7, leigross (misspelled), and optimus prime. The main problem is I feel its missing something in cruiser mode. Mind its only 450 poly minus the turrets and ill add in minor details, texture, and subdivide the polygons so its more smooth. Any suggestion what I should add/change in cruiser mode would be very greatful. Edit. After alittle changing and tweeking I can get rid of the back plate off him but I feel the super structure needs more of somthing and maybe little of the back/legs. If you got pictures of Battle 7's super structure i would like to see it. I measured it out and it comes out at 414 meters long by 168 meters wide so its about tad shorter and narrow than a ARMD. The yellow spot is a small drone from an earier model i did that measures 8.5 meters long but it give good reference to what a vf-19 would be since its like 17 meters long about twice longer than the small fighter.

Its not the big cost thing that are wastefull like a 200 dollar toliet seat, you will be surprised that its the very small stuff nobody thinks about. Ammunition is very wasteful, now you may say its needed for combat but not all bases are in direct combat situations and have to use up the ammo ration in the use it or lose it thing. Many times I see them dumping off tons and tons of ammo in the ranges so they get used up including the guns to use em up with (great way to get that full auto experience but it gets boring very fast). Same with other small items, even if they cost 1 penny each unit they use up millions perhaps billions or trillions and that adds up.

yah most of the rounds fired off are misses.

Depends on what you get. i used to have a cheap 64mb mp3 player for 100 bucks and after awhile it crapped out from overheating and the earplug socket burnt out (couldnt replace it since they didn't use a standard version i can get from radioshack).

i know how you feel alittle bit. i broke one of the pegs that hold those 3 pack missiles on my 1/48 1st edition roy. so the 2 side ones are in place but the bottom one can swing around since only 1 peg holds it up now.

hmm strangly familar to a tom cruise movie .

I sort have a simlar thing but that was around when 1/60 valks first came in. I decided to join instead of ghost for so long but after it sign up the email valid thing never came and I went back to ghosting for like a year longer before I decided to try again. Think the boards tries to be funny with sending emails once in awhile.

dam right skippy. lets teach the young chicks on how much a mustang owns all jet air craft and alien starships that anoy jimmy carter.

Yes. No. It's a test plane which was pressed into operation to fill the gap before the VF-1's came out. http://macross.anime.net/mecha/united_nati.../vf0/index.html See also... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...ndpost&p=217867 No. The producers wanted a new valk design and is sick of the fanboys (people like me) of asking for the vf-1 . Same with the new battle 7 looking aircraft carrier. producers wanted something new and is sick of fanboys (people like me) of asking for macross to be in.

that in 1/100 scale?

For the prices listed on the first page I rather get a laptop.

im not surprised, thats like one of the standard copy protection sony does. Guess need to wait awhile to get a mod chip so you can play those HK bootlegs that will come out.

i remember in the game they was bunch of the dead marine sprites in places, maybe they can expand on that in the movie, instead of just one lone marine theres some info on the marines trying to fight/escape and get horrible killed with the main hero left. also would they add in others things from the other games like doom2 and the others (only remember the little story from 2 rest got blurred with all the fps boom).

I don't think you understood what im trying to say that a 1/48 is more based off a bandai than a 1/60 would be. a 1/48 is much wider in fighter mode to make battroid look little better than the narrow chested 1/60. Also I said just on looks in batt mode with much better transformation method. I built few of the kits too like proly most of the people here.

I wanted someone else to say this but guess ill say it. I was a bad boy this year so im getting either a banpresto valk or a mpc.

just having the legs removed is considered not perfect. If you want to see how its more based on its on how it looks overall in fighter or battroid maybe gerwalk (for the heck of it) mode. bandai version valks always look better in battroid than in fighter and since 1/60 valks look better in fighter mode than in battroid I say its not based on them thou the method is similar. a 1/48 I say is more based off bandais than a 1/60 even that it has way better tranformation methods.

Notice that they have treads and not legs. Hmph!! Hk had differnt types of movement since the first movie. Only problem i see with the talon robots that people can knock it down sideways and beat it with a pipe.

guess my xmas gift will be a new tail light to replace my busted one from the person who hit my car and ran off. now just to get off my butt and run over to the junkyard to get one.

terminator has tons of games.

tv series. guess its one of the perks of having a navy dad and living overseas during the 80s.

wonder how they going to get the main hero be able to carry a bfg9000. Plasma guns>bfg9000

hearing about the dead pixle thing for awhile but i belive its not the power issues from the psp or ... ds. I belive since there was a lcd shortage awhile ago they might have got some screens from a company with less than perfect quality control.

knowing sony i really doubt unless some rogue china factory produces illeagal recorders and disc (very expensive).

yah pretty much; with portable dvd player prices dropping and those other movie players like juicebox, video now, ect... psp would be hard press to use that as a selling point. For mp3s i dont like the idea of either buying a music disc for it or filling up your memory stick to play music it might not leave much for game saves or bring more memory sticks. basicly its going to come down to games that will force it to sink or swim. Battery life should last longer but then we dont want a large battery bar to attach to the sucker to extend play time.

Clean surface, peel sticker off sheet, stick sticker on item like a drunk monkey, take hot air gun to get rid of airbubbles if needed, repeat as nessassary.
