    Watched the first S4 episode last night and the end sequence with Tangerine Dream's energetic track from Michael Mann's "The Thief" already blew my mind.

    Talked my lady into watching Warfare since everyone seems to be bringing it up lately since it dropped on Max or HBO Max or whatever it’s called now. I personally liked it, but not quite as much as others and my lady although liking war movies didn’t really like it at all. I think the issue is that while the action is done really well, it’s bit light on story. Or maybe that it isn’t so much a story, but an experience. It probably could’ve helped to have a bit of exposition about what was going on and maybe could have been a bit easier to get a feel for things if they showed some of the film from the other groups involved. Overall, I personally liked it, but I feel like it will be more enjoyed from guys that dig action or military folk than the average person.

    Looks like they got a lot of detail in that head crest

    True. I don't need it to come from Wave. I'd be happy with Plamax or Hasegawa doing it as long as it looks at home next to the existing destroids.

    Everyone should stop panicking, Bandai will release more VF-1's. They are waiting for 2026-27 and waiting to see how the tariffs will shake out, at the worst, they may wait till the transition of the next govt. No one is going to be importing SDF-1 lineups at the moment. Bandai will focus on Macross items that they are able to distribute internationally.

    Fantastic pics.

    Volks 1:144 KOG D Mirage test fit is moving fast. Just need to get the arms/shoulders, and bow trimmed/built. There are few seams that I will actually need to fix which is amazing and speeds things up considerably. I’m not concerned about all of the hidden seams/details on the frame that the armor will cover up in final assembly. The fit is great! The IMS line has come a long ways. The smaller scale packs in detail and is perfect for my limited space. The scale feels a little larger than their others in the line but not too bad. Here’s a pic of the KOG No.7 in the line with Batsh which was No.1 in the line.

    Awesome! Are they available in high res?

    The vertical stabs should cant outward in fighter mode, @Robin-11.

    Even then, if you think about it, Armus's evil is still subjective. The species that created him had to decide what traits of theirs were negative and inclining them to destructive behavior and physically removed those aspects of themselves somehow. It's narratively convenient that their definition of "evil" matched Humanity's. It'd be nice if they didn't have him get over it too quickly. Then again, I guess that kind of depends how much of a time skip there is between season 3 and season 4. If it follows on right away then he should definitely still be broken up about it. If there's a couple months in the middle, it'd be weird if he were still totally devastated.

    Probably because he wouldn't be able to prove it. Yeah, the deleted scene at the end of Alien: Resurrection is set in a post-apocalyptic Paris. They're not clear on what caused the planet to be so ruined and abandoned in the time between Alien 3 and Alien: Resurrection, but it was apparently already basically abandoned well before the start of the movie. IMO, it'd be more on brand for the franchise if the reason Earth is a ruin in the late 24th century is because the megacorps that were overthrown by that time simply destroyed the environment through shortsighted pollution and ecological destruction. Like how Boy Cavalier crashed a starship full of invasive species into his own city simply to deny it to W-Y. That is a really good question. I don't think the writers were expecting anyone to ask that one. 🤔 Xenomorph XX121 eggs seem to last basically forever (based on Alien and Aliens), but the other four species specimens (the flies, ticks, man-eating plant, and eye-ctopus) were all shown being transported live both in the lab and the cargo bay. It wouldn't make sense to thaw them out at the same time as the crew considering how dangerous they are. The smart thing to do would be to keep them on ice until after they got back to Earth if they could be frozen rather than risk any escaping. If we assume the writers didn't simply forget or assume nobody would notice, either these alien lifeforms are very long-lived for insects and a tropical plant or the crew were breeding them to maintain the population. The latter case might explain why they have a rotating crew that seems to be awake far more regularly in transit than the crews of the Nostromo, Sulaco, etc. instead of simply putting everyone into cryo until the ship got where it's going. (Teng's human, BTW... he's just weird.)

    Here's another thing which is bugging the hell out of me - If the Maginot had been out for 65 years, then how are some of the specimens still alive? Assuming that the specimens were collected at roughly the halfway point in the voyage before heading home, then wouldn't that make some of them potentially be 30 years old...? I am not clear on whether the specimens were put into cryo sleep, or even whether or not it would work on them. Seems like a big gamble to collect specimens and not know whether or not they'd make it back home. And do you think that they left Teng to tend to them the whole time when the rest of the crew was in cryo? The more I think about the writing for this series, the more it bothers me. I wish I could stop trying to analyze.

    maybe. What I hope is how they show Pike still grieving into next season...
  22. Palantirion
    Glamour shots, if we're being generous. I was pressed for time.

    You need to at least watch MASH. It's a show that everyone on the planet can relate to, morally or humoral speaking.

    I've been working off and on with Nissan for nearly 30 years, yeah, pre-teen, and my family and I have always been Z enthusiasts since we owned a 280ZX brand new off the truck back in 1980, so growing up around them I've always thought of it as a dream car. Then in 2022 I sold my old Honda HRV and bought a 2014 Nissan 370Z....sadly the market in the area for them was just terrible and the closest I could get was a Touring model with a terrible paint job and some issues. Spent a lot of time working on it making it better....then I had an incident with a police officer running me off the road doing damage to the car that was entirely his fault and his department refused to pay up to fix. Well when the new Z was released in 23, I'd been sorely wanting it since first seeing the prototype variant at our dealership. Sadly these cars are super expensive for someone like myself scraping by. Well, we had some pretty good deals over the summer, and I had enough of fixing a car that was never going to be how I wanted it. So I was able to work a deal with my sales team and we managed to find me a two tone silver/black sport model for the right price. I've been absolutely loving this car, it handles real well, better at higher rates of speed, the engine has got enough umpf to it that it's made me really enjoy going out for long runs on my weekends off. Just this weekend I took it on a 100+ joyride just having a blast. Ended up picking up donuts and coffee, watch the sunrise then drove home. I've named it Bluestreak in honor of the Fairlady 280ZX the G1 Autobot was designed from. It's got a nice 3 liter twin turbo V6 pumping out 400hp and right now sits as the top of the line now that the GT-R has been discontinued. I honestly don't see myself doing much of anything to it for modifications as it feels and handles nearly perfect for my needs. Since getting it I've had to clear out my entire garage so I can safely store it as we've had some pretty wicked storms with quite a lot of hail falling, and I don't want someone trying to break into it being in a not so great neighborhood. I really need a nice long trip somewhere to really have fun with it, but I have no idea where to go with the limited budget I got.

    Then I did some proper dot filtering with the oils. And drybrushed highlights. Then used Musou Black for the edge. Finished! No, wait, no I'm not. I also had to make a box with foam lining so Chris could transport it safely. The lid (not shown) has foam blocks that stop any Z axis movements.

    THERE'S NO BASE! Oops. So....I stole a one from a Figma figure. I textured it with Smart Mud and some sand pieces. The Smart Mud is awesome at being mud, but it's crap at holding on to anything else. So I have to thin down some canopy glue in order to make sure everything stayed put. Then it primed it with MY NEW FAVORITE PRIMER. This is Molotow's One-4-All line of marker refills. I have had my issues with Molotow's marker paint before, but One-4-All is awesome stuff. It dries almost instantly, yet airbrushes really smoothly. It was so hard that I had to try really hard to scrape any off this base with my thumbnail. It's waterproof...but I didn't wet sand it so I don't yet know if its really waterproof. But this is now my go-to primer, particularly as it comes in various colors and can be mixed to create others - perfect for zenithal or preshading. DOTS! Some wet-on-wet blending action using dot filter randomness. FYI I used a little too much paint. And dry.

    I have not yet watched this series yet (between the clips i see on YT and the comments here, i remain uncommitted). As for the use of nuclear weapons, wasn't the end of the fourth Alien film set on a destroyed land scape (possibly Paris, France, depending on the application of Deleted scenery or not)? likely the home world will be nuked... what would be funny? Someone the Octo-Eye is currently driving is the one that pushes the button.
