EXO Posted August 15, 2012 Author Posted August 15, 2012 Address is up on Facebook page. I'll post it here friday. http://www.facebook.com/events/406210209443130/ Quote
floralskirts Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 Is it on Friday or Saturday? It was stated that no changes were being made to the initial scheduling (Saturday, August 18th) but the Facebook page says Friday. Quote
EXO Posted August 16, 2012 Author Posted August 16, 2012 I'm sorry... I'm not seeing where it says friday. I would love to correct that right away. The day up top says Saturday the 18th. Thanks! Quote
floralskirts Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 I don't have a Facebook account, so it may be different for me but here's a screenshot of what I see. Glad to hear it's still on Saturday. Quote
EXO Posted August 16, 2012 Author Posted August 16, 2012 Ah weird. This is what is on there... Also notice that there is a discussion on food and drinks. So if anyone wants to join in, it looks ike we'll be collecting $5 to order pizza and buy some soda and water. Quote
Maiden Japan Posted August 18, 2012 Posted August 18, 2012 I just want to make sure about these following items are at the place, or someone have to bring in; Paper plates Paper cups Napkins Ice cubes Quote
EXO Posted August 18, 2012 Author Posted August 18, 2012 We might need plates and ice. But definitely stuff to put in all those things. I'm bringing the ThunderHammer custom and I hope to see a couple of 1/24 VF-1S heads there. Quote
danbickell Posted August 18, 2012 Posted August 18, 2012 I hope to see a couple of 1/24 VF-1S heads there. Roger that! Quote
Loop Posted August 18, 2012 Posted August 18, 2012 (edited) We might need plates and ice. But definitely stuff to put in all those things. I'm bringing the ThunderHammer custom and I hope to see a couple of 1/24 VF-1S heads there. Too bad I live all the way up in Seattle and can't make it. I wanted to see the bad ass GOLD visor on that Thunder Hammer in person Edited August 18, 2012 by Loop Quote
Maiden Japan Posted August 19, 2012 Posted August 19, 2012 It was a nice meet-up and good time hung around with. A couple of nice display pieces of Thunder Hammer and custom 1/24 scale VF-1S head. The Bru-ray movie was fantastic and also got to play the PS3 game which was also good. I would love to get that Blu-ray set. Quote
Benson13 Posted August 19, 2012 Posted August 19, 2012 I'm really jealous that I didn't get to partake in the bro-mancing. Quote
Hikaru2 Posted August 19, 2012 Posted August 19, 2012 It was a great time, thanks for putting this together guys! Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted August 19, 2012 Posted August 19, 2012 A huge thanks goes out to Exo and the gang for putting this together. I had a fantastic time both in spending time with board members and seeing DYRL in a whole new light. Quote
Jasonc Posted August 19, 2012 Posted August 19, 2012 Definitely great times. It's always great to see the boards members, and meet new people with the same interests. It's always awesome when a 28 year old movie still brings all of us together and we can enjoy it as if it just came out. The event worked out perfectly. EXO, where are the pics of the crowd? Quote
danbickell Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 (edited) Huge crowd! I look so happy! Thanks so much for putting this together! It was a great time, and it was awesome getting to meet everybody and put faces to screen-names. Good times! And for those who were hanging out later on when we were having story time (which we shall not repeat here): Edited August 20, 2012 by danbickell Quote
EXO Posted August 20, 2012 Author Posted August 20, 2012 lol! They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but this one is worth that and a thousand more laughs... Quote
Jasonc Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Wow, real life battle damage. You can't fake that. Great, uh, custom. Quote
Benson13 Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 So you're saying you guys fragged a Gundam to celebrate the 30ththe anniversary of Macross. Seems logical to me. Quote
Macross_Fanboy Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 Oh wow, that's an awesome custom, but if violence was actually visited upon the Gunpla I must detest! Quote
Jasonc Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 Demand for the story to be told. It's tragic, but awesome, I think... Quote
danbickell Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 I will leave the specifics and details out of any public internet discussion, as wisdom dictates... However, fear not, Gundam fans. No violence was intentionally visited on this 1/60 Perfect Grade RX-78-2. It was a decade ago, and the mishap was a case of lit candles (not placed by me...) being placed a little too close to the tip of the gun. With amazing timing, the room lit up brightly with the inferno that ensued. It took mere seconds to topple the formerly proud model into the pile of slag that exists today. It is a testament to how awesome those models are that it held up to the fire as well as it did, and that the end result looks as realistic and purposeful as it does. The outer armor pieces burned away first in some places, exposing the thick skeletal structure underneath. In other places, the innards burned first, and oozed out between the joints in the outer armor. Mostly, it all just fused together, forever holding it's final pose, but in pieces. Sad as it was, it just looked so cool that I had to keep it all these years. Here's the only picture of it prior to the fire that I managed to find, circa the late 90s when this kit came out: RIP the only Gundam model I ever made. Your amazing posability was a daily source of fun for a few years at least, until your untimely death by candle flame. The End. Quote
Jasonc Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 (edited) How tall was that thing? I just got this kit about 1.5 mos. ago, and it's 1/60 scale, which makes it (guessing) about 14 in. tall??? It's huge. Correction, it's about 12.25 in. tall. Still hella big at over a foot tall. Edited September 9, 2012 by Jasonc Quote
