This is my newest moc , the famous AT-RT (All Terrain Recon Transport) . The moc which inspired me was Larry Lars's version , so I owe him my thanks ( although the only thing in which our mocs have in common is the scale ) . I apologize for the background of the pictures , it's just that i'm using the grey baseplate that i use as a bg for another moc , and I am no good at photoshopin' . The arf trooper is my first waterslide decal custom , so I hope you like it . Enjoy and please comment !
1 block from my grandmother's house.
Rt. 66, Amarillo, TX
4"x5" Pinhole
It's now been fixed up and is an antique store / soda shop.
London Bus Company's open top AEC Regent III (RT) bus RT3435 (LYR 854) is seen at North Weald station on a cold morning! Fortunately this bus was not in service, merely being used as a staff bus.
North Weald station, Epping Ongar Railway.
31st March 2013.
I remember going on these old 'Regent Three' type buses when I was a kid. This one sits in the car park of Sheffield Park station on the Bluebell Railway in 2007
As mentioned earlier, this one looked good outside, but the shine hid a number of problems, long since sorted out.
With a blind for a route withdrawn fifty years ago, this bus will not take you to Kew but instead will let you off in the middle of the street somewhere in Davis. It is better to go upstairs, open the window and ride the entire route back to school, where there is less of a chance of being killed when you disembark.
This once grand home is on Rt. 649 heading into Port Norris, NJ. At one point Port Norris was a busy commercial fishing town know for it's oysters, but due to over fishing and pollution of the Delaware Bay etc. Port Norris fell on hard times years ago and has never sprung back to it's former glory.
RT 1790 (BK) passes its home garage in Longbridge Road, Barking on route 87. Wednesday 20th September 1978. 4M-10.
RT 1658 has been spruced up since leaving LT, bus has in recent years been broken for spares by the London Bus Company. Apparently not, in fact I've seen it looking splendid recently and 1347 is still around too.
RT 2777 was new to Cricklewood garage in January 1952. In this view now a Chelsham (CM) trainer, the crew have left it parked outside Elmers End garage while they visit the staff canteen. Tuesday 22nd July 1975. 2R-8.
Ah yes. The Rise & Toys RT-01 Robot Rose, the figure that begs to answer the question "How much better would my life be if MP Arcee had a proper chest?".
Well, turns out there's some ups and downs, and no, I'm not talking about the jiggling.
Because sadly these are not silicone boobs.
So to start off, if you're not sure, YES, this is a knock off of the MP Arcee release from a few years back. To save myself a bunch of writing, it's suffice to say it's not as good as the official release, but it can do probably 80 - 90% of what it is supposed to do.
Highlights of the stuff that is a total miss is paint, the inability to hold weapons, and my favourite, an instruction manual that literally leaves you half way there.
But the parts are all there, including the die cast content, and the plastic quality doesn't seem to be off by much, if any. It's more the colour amongst the pinks can be inconsistent. Articulation is exactly the same until you decide to get crazy. Visor gimmick still works.
Before the main event, I just want to quickly point out the other major difference between this and the official MP - the face plates. I can't remember who made these, but they're closer to the animation model. There's another extra face that comes with their Nightbird release that is even more accurate.
The main event - the chest plates, which is probably the reason you bought this release. The original toy suffered from what would best be described as a sagging bust line, with Nightbird faring slightly better due to the long chin piece.
Well, this figure gives you the option of swapping out the original piece for one of two plates - one that gives the figure that classic look, but is definitely more flattering, and another that gives her the look of a pin up model.
Might as well go big, right?
The issue is that by attaching these chest plates, you lose use of her shoulder hinges, and basically won't be able to bring the arms across the chest... which if you think about it, makes sense given the size of the things.
