Hey all. Will Road Squadron be representing? I'm going, but don't know yet if my Veritech will be taking me there or if I'll be carpooling w/ some buddies. I'll be at the Anime Expo this weekend, but don't know where the VF will be parked.

Greetings!
I'd be surprised if Obi-Shawn's not there. I probably won't be able to make another cross-country trip for quite a while.
Is your Veritech a different vehicle from the VF-1A? I followed the links to your website, but could only find a tantalizing thumbnail photo. Show us pictures!

I'll have the master gallery up in the next few days, if not a rough version later tonight.
If you click that vf-1a button on my main site, that will take you to the sub-site devoted to building this bird. While I've got nearly 200 pix from the several painting sessions to sort through, only the concept and original paint job are up there at this moment with some minor notations throughout. Additionally, I've got 10 written pages of notes done at the time to add as well. I'm training the voice recognition to help me out with inputting that at this moment.
The VF is short for Variable Fighter. To which there were a number of variants, 1A through 1J (or so). The only 1A in the Robotech series was designated Skull Leader, Rik Fokker's Valkyrie, later commanded by Rick Hunter and now me.

I don't think RS will be on display at Comic-Con. It doesn't look like we are going, due to finances. I don't think Obi Shawn has ever displayed at this con, but am not sure. He tried to get us in at World Con last year, but ran into a lot of trouble with the con people. We were there at World Con last year, and saw that we could have fit our car in that display, but alas, it wasn't to be. I am not sure what we would have to go through to do a RS display at Comic Con?

Maybe I can find out for 2008... There's also a NYC ComicCon, but don't know any details for that one. I had actually seen Obishawn's fighter a few months ago here in town and that was what prompted me to re-find Road Squadron. It was 6-8 years ago that I painted my old Corsica as an x-wing w/ Falcon armor plating hybrid and found Katie and her Red 5 when researching that, but no others at the time. Road Squad must have 'officially' started up soon after that and it was only looking for Obishawn recently that I came back to discover how much things have changed in the intervening years. The direct link to my bike is www.twinlitworlds.com/vf1a/html/index.html |

Oh, yes, that's much better in Firefox than in Safari. I can actually see stuff. Beautiful! I'll look forward to more photos!

Sorry I didn't see this sooner... There is never enough room to display cars at Comic con.. they always want to, but it's way too big. Maybe someday!
I was there, every day, but i didn't even bring the H-Wing. I took Yoda, though. He was a big hit...

yoda? I dont think I have seen him. I am trying to get some of the midwestern guys in a car show out here. But between r2 upgrades and work on my car it has been difficult to organize.
