Tasuke's Anime Dolly-a-Whenever Thread...

I had never seen that CPK, very interesting. Nice job on the custom spacesuit, too.

[tasuke]

thanks. my mom was gung-ho on making me a NASA boy, like so many young kids of the 1980's.

she had my dad, whom was deep into plastic model kits, build many NASA and STAR TREK models to decorate my room with.
it definitely left it's mark on me;

[davidd]

Is that one of the models your dad constructed?

[tasuke]

no, those are all long gone. the influence all that NASA and STAR TREK related business instilled in me, however, is still alive and strong.

to this day, i have an affinity for 70's/80's STAR TREK starship design,
and Japanese Animation Mecha (robot) design, -that of the VF-1 "Valkyrie" from MACROSS specifically-
was the gateway that got me onboard the Anime wagon train to begin with.

the 70's/80's NASA Aerospace influences are especially clear to see in the VF-1J "Hikaru Ichijo T.V." variant;

It looks like they're towering over the photographer.

Do you work in the aerospace industry? Or... how cooooool would this be... are you posting to the forum from the International Space Station?

Okay, probably not the latter.

But your forum bio indicates that you do live near a Top Secret Government Military site, so... uhm... yeah, okay, no more questions. 

That gigantic transformer jet fighter is wicked keen!

Awesome! How fun to see them all together!

Now will you begin sharing photos of your mechas and anime figures with us? (hint, hint)

[tasuke]

[davidd]

How cool to have versions of the same figure spanning 35 years!

Love the colors of the Gundams!

Who's the cutie in yellow?

[kadytheredpanda]

That is really cool that you have different versions of the same figure

[GreysPrincess]

I think I may be in love with little cute yellow girl!

[tasuke]

if you're cool with snap-fir GUNPLA kits, then you can get one for cheap;
