2024 Coffee Shop and Gardens

Same here with the inside clan....We keep dry food out all the time next to their water dispenser....

Since the inside clan are REALLY REALLY picky wet food eaters....I only open one can and put a tablespoon of food in each of their bowls.  Most of the time they just lick the juice and leave the food...so that goes back in the can and given to the outside critters for dinner.  Works out great for me.

But on Fridays they get Tuna Fish.  And most of the time...they enjoy that...emphasis on MOST of the time.  And yes...the outside clan also gets Tuna on Fridays...

Good Morning folks!

Agent the closest things you would find are Chris's models. I'm not sure which VP bought the rights to before he passed. Because I do have them. There was a Robotech manga being made at one point and he was so happy they asked to use his models for it. Sorry that opened some old wounds.  He was a really good friend.

Are they able to shapeshift? I ask because there were three shape modes the F-14 was able to take, and with the model I put together, I was able to find some between shapes.
I also had a very large collection of Transformers, and my favorite among them was Jet Fire. That one was also fashioned after the F-14 Tomcat. I had three of that one, in order to display it in all three main shape modes at the same time. And yet again, looking for a model for Poser and DAZ Studio that is fully rigged to do everything the physical models could do is an exercise in futility. If I had the skills to model such a complex figure, I would definitely do so. I would bet that my model would be sought after by 3D production companies to make 3D animated movies. I can only imagine the complex rigging such a model would need. But to me, making such a model would be fun, if I had the skill. It is the kind of work that I love doing. The problem is that I cannot find tutorials to teach me what I would need to know. Many of the needed ones probably don't even exist.

Yes agent. All of Chris's Mecha could assume all three modes. If you go over to my deviantART page you'll see pictures of all three modes of his veritechs.

PDG, I had a feeling you might have Chris's models. I suppose VP discontinued offering his models when he passed. I have seen other vendors' items cease to be available when they passed, so that is a believable practice. I would never disrespect any vendor that has passed.

You mentioned that he possibly lived nearby. Did you and he ever meet in person? I ask because I think that would be awesome. What would be even more awesome is to meet someone like that and be able to learn in person from that individual.

I am in awe that you and Noshoba have his models. I browse the models that are available at Vanishing Point on a regular basis, in the hopes that someday I will find a model I have been looking for, and especially the Varitech figures.

Please provide a link to your DeviantArt Profile, because I am very interested in seeing what you have there. I have a profile there as well, and I post art there quite often. I also do somewhat lengthy short stories for some of my pieces. If you wish you can post links to your Varitech images, but I think it would ne more fun to browse through your art, and be surprised when I find them.

Something I just thought of is that those models might still be at VP, for a price, that I am unable to pay at this time. I seem to recall seeing some for sale there. I'll have to go to VP and check that theory out.

Agent I posted a couple of images with Chris's mechs over on PFDLives years ago. Like Noshoba; my DA account has been dead and/or gone for years.
