UPDATE: some long overdue progress shots:

 

 

Final configuration for the stand base:

 

Main logo and the file number from the series' briefing (at the start of the S1 episodes, IIRC):

 

A pic with the unextended sponson ends attached:

Bottom shot without and with ADF pod:

    

Rare Earth magnets embedded in both hull and ADF pod:

Sponson ends: normal and chain guns deployed; both attach via a series of posts:

   

Airwolf's weaponry at a glance:

3/4 rear view port; extended exhausts for rotor engines and turbo boost nozzles in place:

  

Work done to hollow out and rebuild turbo boost intakes and cooling intakes for rotor engines:

Main rotor hub:

The helicopter still needs work: a final buffing down of the hull (lumpy in some areas and the shine is too much), refining some details, and a couple fo other nitpicks. But overall, this project has succeeded beyond what I had hoped for!

Finally... a shot of "The Lady" coming straight for the camera:

Stay tuned folks....

Lovely job, Peng! The Lady is looking awesome.

Good job man!

 

ps: my wife finished this

Your wife does exceptional work!

You'all doing some beautiful work. Man, I gotta get some kits done!!

You know that just the trailer alone is going to be epic!

We are now basically our grandparents, shaking our heads at the changing world and the youth growing up in it.

It’s for toddlers 

I'm sure they'll like it too. Definitely Sat morning cartoon fare.

It's. For. Kids.

Keeping in mind I am over forty years from being the target audience, I'm hoping there is less 'humor' and enough drama to overcome the preteen-ish spin. I'm hoping it gets more serious moments and feel in the second trailer. That being said, it looks like a movie kids will enjoy and in that way keep the Transformers 'alive' for another generation.

But this is nothing (so far) akin to the '86 movie.

...or Shweddy Balls...

We ALL need a good laugh, enjoy! 🤣

 

A skit like that is made for the cast to break and it feels good to laugh right along with them.

They hate it so much, they must secretly love it!🤪

Only by modern, low episode count, standards; if compared to everything up to Enterprise with their 22-26 episodes per season, without taking episode run-time into account, Lower Decks amounts to a 2-2.5 year mission.  Now, if specifically stated in-show that five years have elapsed since the events of the premier episode I'll retract my assertion and concede the point.

Well, there was no 'point' trying to be made. It was an off-hand comment using the similarities between five years and five seasons.

Are you asking if Discovery's fifth and final season is worth watching?

No, it's not.

It's less aggressively awful than Discovery's first three seasons, but IMO it's worse than Season 4.  It's trying really hard to take the Picard Season 3 way out by massively increasing the density of references to previous Trek shows, but it's much less effective because none of the characters have any personal link to those shows.

Just seven more episodes and this dreary mess of a series is done.

Ha! Thanks! 😁

That's a cute looking lil Harrier @Urashiman and the Vf-19A came out great. Good looking colors.

Nice looking Scout @SteveTheFish. What scale is it? And it looks like it is missing its right canon?

So, is this worth it..?

And thus, the end of another Five-Year Mission...

But is he gonna tell people to get off his plane?

...

That's alright, Captain Falcon can just fly off the plane!

Looks like Ford is President again!

I'd definitely go for 1/700 Daedalus and Prometheus.

Awesome!!

Some Macros ships, please! Battle 7/Frontier, the stealth cruisers, the carriers, some good Zentradi ships. Probably hoping for too much, but oh well!

Nice looking guns, @pengbuzz. And that display stand looks great.

Don't forget to consume product and get excited for next product.

 

Can't wait! I just love consuming new product!

As for a new movie, surely the Mando Cannot Rest! Sure, there were some low points is S3, and I'm sure S2 and S1 as well, but that was mostly when they were wandering off plot. A movie should have a far tighter story line without so much time to fill. I'm hoping it'll shine with what made the Mandalorian so good.

About three episodes in on Renegade Nell and I am really liking it. A bit of quirky fun, nice action and effects and some real good acting, IMO. I like the gimmick of her powers.
