MAJOR UPDATE!
This update of the
Macross Mecha Manual features
33 new profiles. The focus for this update is revision to the
Macross Frontier profiles, completing the profiles for large space ships and introduction of the
Macross II section. The front page has been reorganized to accommodate the new Macross II Index Button and to help maintain a smooth page layout the
For Fans Only section has graduated to a large Index Button.
Experimenting with Photoshop, I've found a better method to color for glass. As a result, I've re-finished several large ships with domes and transparent enclosures that were initially poorly colored. The
Macross 7,
Macross 5,
Riviera Resort Ship and the
Megaroad-01 (including the
Flashback 2012 Banner) have all been updated with new colors. Lastly, the
Header and Footer Menu Bars have been replaced in every profile, thus creating a common button style across the whole website (thanks again to
Dante74 of the Macross World forums).
Refer to the list below for all the new profiles in this update.
