I definitely need one of those "1/48" style JMs (seeing as though I love the original BanDai ones).

Sign me up! :p

I sooo can't wait till the 1/48 JM is done. :blink::p:D:lol:

Hey Nick, that's Jason C in the group pic, not mechatek. Only my forehead came out in that pic. :lol: I should've been standing next to Shawn. :rolleyes:

OHH CRAP YOURE RIGHT. Sorry JAson sorry Mechatex

according to Rohby the seat is not supposed to be that far back. Its just there cause it isnt glued down. oh the pilot's head will be able to turn

If you didn't happen to notice it the first time...

look closely at the cockpit and you will notice Rhoby also made control handles (the other fell off during transformation). Plus the canopy is completely vacu-formed.

It is trully amazing what Rohby can create, he is a god among men.

Hey Kid,

What's up? When I get home I'll send you pic of the 1/55 retracting hands and covers I had mentioned to you about (still work in progress).

Thanks for the compliment about my SKILLZ. ;):lol::lol::D

Seriously, though I would like to create something that will blow all customs away at the next Con contest.

And also introduce my 1/55 / 1/48 fully articulated hands. Hopefully I can finish this project really soon.

LOL, Gubaba is a really cool toy. From certain angles he looks cute as hell, but turned slightly to the right in that pic, he looks seriously PISSED that he's sitting on my shoulder instead of Mylene's. :lol:

OK, here goes...

Had to take a pic of Frank and Sons (to prove it's existence to my East Coast brethren!)

Shortly after this, EXO warned me that if I was caught with my camera, they would chuck me out since alot of that stuff is grey market, so I put it away.

Next place we went was Kinokuniya bookstore, where I snagged my copy of Tenjin's Valk Book...

wow!! you were able to take some pictures in F&S huh? They don't normally allow that. They usually escort you back to your car to drop off the camera and let you off with a warning. Saw it happen a couple of times. hehe ;):p:D:lol:

Yeah, I got off a few before EXO warned me. I would love to have taken a crapload of pics in that place just to show some guys back here that it was as cool as I have been telling them it was.

Next time, I will be more crafty... :ph34r:

actually he's the one behind the guy guy with the black shirt. :blink:;):p:D:lol:

Yeah this is true. :(

Exactly one year ago i was down there to attend the Transformers convention "BotCon" in Pasadena.

While i was there i visited Frank n Sons, and it was awesome!

I was filming inside with my video camera for about 20 minutes or so when a guy comes up to tell me to put away the camera. I thought hw was playing around and i told him "yeah right!".

He then told me, that he was head of security and the place was private property and there was no filming allowed without permission from the owner.

So he escorted my ass back to my truck and made me put the camera away.

Wow they were strict about that rule and caught me off guard!

Well now i know, at least i got some footage before they caught me, LOL!! :p

Just want to express my sincerest gratitude to everyone who helped make this con happen, as well as to mechamaniac for dragging my ass along on this adventure.

And a special thanks to Nick and EXO, for driving us around, and to everybody for making a coupla guys from Maryland feel welcome!

Nice job with the screen names on the group shot, notice how I'm barely taller than Mari (just wish I was as thin as her, too! Well, maybe not that thin...). For those of you that missed it, I'm the lurker in the red Inuyasha t-shirt in many of the photos, who endured the 3000 mile trek from Baltimore just to meet Mari and hang out with some of the rest of MW!

Hope to see you guys again next year; in the meantime I plan to be more active on this board, though I may change my screen name (again).

Okay, I have to ask two questions...

1) How the hell do you get Mari Ijima to come to your party? I imagine her time is worth something.

2) Isn't Macross over 20 years old now? That means Mari Ijima must be like 40. In those pics, she looks barely...legal. How old is she anyway?

1) Because she is super cool, and lives locally in California.

2) She's 42, and yes, she is very beautiful, and does not look her age at all. She looked even better in person. She told us a story about a commercial she filmed where she played a daughter, and the woman who played her mother was actually younger than her.
