    Nibunoichi

    Well, took a wild shot at making a one-page model. Came out with this rough protobuild: http://s93816356.onlinehome.us/phpbb2/album_page.php?pic_id=319 Can't help thinking it needs to be with three girls and a panda...

    OT but cool: Anyone want a full size Akira bike?

    Not that I've viewed it recently, not being a gem in my collection (pretentious attempt at animating together a few common Japanese live-action sci-fi concepts with over-loud sound effects but really good animation quality)... But wasn't Kaneda's bike electric? Then there is that huge chunk...

    Next kit from Thaipaperwork

    The Black Bullet Northrop XP-56 Will there be a version with the small vertical fin?

    New Release from Ebbles Miniatures

    Build your own Supermall? It appears to be mounted to board, given the flat-floor example in the other image on the website. An eggcrate floor substructure would be a good idea for maintaining rigidity and keeping them light enough for stackable storage.

    Nice Optimus and Yamato Builds!

    Say no to lawyer-talk OH NO! :shock: I need to stop this here and now to avoid another one of those tedious and drawn out group dialogues on ownership rights. I am adequately aware of all sorts of real, possible and imaginary scenarios involving ways I can win, lose or die-from-boredom...

    Nice Optimus and Yamato Builds!

    WANIMAGAZINE's Yamato is a good investment and a large build (being 3' long made it difficult to get to my friend's party intact). I have it on my list to design a foot-long simplified easy-build version. -- For Prime one working plan was to label it "Konboi" (literal conversion from Jap.)...

    Nice Optimus and Yamato Builds!

    Thanks. The Yamato seems to be still available through HLJ.com where I got mine (probably the best price you're gonna find aside from piracy). http://www.hlj.com/scripts/hljpage.cgi?WNM29817 Optimus Prime is a different matter all together, I've been debating over how I will release it...

    Shinseiki Evanglion live-action movie

    The new EVAs. Check the production images from the live action Shinseiki Evangelion movie. http://s93816356.onlinehome.us/phpbb2/album_page.php?pic_id=122 http://s93816356.onlinehome.us/phpbb2/album_page.php?pic_id=121 http://s93816356.onlinehome.us/phpbb2/album_page.php?pic_id=120 Ray...

    Salutations.

    Wow, you're asking about the history of Japanese animation technology for the last century? To start with the country was still struggling up out of a major disaster, trying to equal themselves against a world that they had previously snubbed (remnants of it exist today in the way they treat...

    Transformers Make Me Grin

    Designing methods are as varied as religions in the world. I use a combination of 3D CAD surface modeling, 2D CAD, and artistic license to produce results. Drawing from my experience with many other hobbies over the years and several years designing for aerospace. I've been slowly collecting...

    Free Webcomics

    Since I'm actively posting, might as well mention this. If there are other masochistic designers I offer sources that may or may not be known to those here. Free webcomics. Angel Moxie spoofs anime "Pretty Magical Girls": http://www.venisproductions.com/angelmoxie/ I'm working on these...

    Transformers Make Me Grin

    Buildking/Landfill or whatever they're calling the newest recolor. I'm more interested in Dreamwave comics' "War Within" Devastator (If it had existed before I started designing my Devastator...). Hasbro used to recolor minimally for characters (twos and threes), or the peculiar multiple...

    Convoy (Optimus Prime)'s face!

    I was trolling for any new info on the 20th anniversary Convoy toy. It no longer seems to be available from the motherland, and has double-plus priced here in the states. At first glance months ago I thought it was rather nice, then I found further images. With features, details, and a great...

    Free 45 cal. Pistol Model

    Go to: http://kamikuzu.fc2web.com/html-1/kamikuzu-gallary.html It is the original site that pistol was revised from (with permission as I recall). There are many more appealing weapons there, I prefer sideloading revolvers myself.

    Salutations.

    ('_' )( '_') Well, I'm here. Maybe in this new forum interest in this subject can expand, or I'll just spend more time talking to myself. Great leaders have occasionally appointed peculiar individuals into certain departments, so I will be moderator of this subject until removed from office...
