[(*** ANY GREAT BOOKS ON MECH PICTURES/STATS ***)]

[Jim Yergaw]

Hi There.

I am doing a very large project and require any FANTASTIC
books/magazines/sites that provide "many" colored pictures of mech
designs and their stats (weapons, performance, etc.).

The books I've found so far have only had bad drawings, in pencil, of
mech designs with overall boring stats. I need to find that right
book from which I can study from without confusion and to get LOTS OF
INSPIRATION from!!

Please, if you can help me find that useful book(s) (or site) which
can help me out I'd be FOREVER IN DEBT to you! Any information you
may have could help me out immensely!

Thanks a million! (Could you please reply to me via EMAIL. Thanks
again.)

Jim.

Jim,
There are two really great Robotech/Macross-related sites: one run by
Dave Deitrich (Macross Mecha Designs) and one by Peter Walker (ROBOTECH:
Technical Files). There's also the Gundam Project (I'm looking for the
URL...forgot to "bookmark" it--to shame. Watch this space.
As for books, most anime books have monochrome design pages with the
mecha stats...and then excerpt cels in color elsewhere. I could tell
you some I know...but like I said, watch this space.

Jim,

Have you tried the Robotech Art books? If you have and they were not
satisfactory or if you can't find them, then there is the obvious source,
The Robotech Technical Files Web Pages. These things kick ass. All you
need to know. If you perhaps have not been there the address is

spacesun.rice.edu/~pww/robotech.html

Good luck.
