  1. Past hour
  2. 2048 so far!!! Hope this gets done!
  3. Hi folks, first things first, apologies if this has been asked before, or if it's even in the forums. But my low-under-the-floor searching skills haven't let me found it if it even exists. What I would like to know is if there is any place you know to download and print 3d models of our favourite, most iconic, mechas. Specifically, I was interested on the beloved Mac+ ones (VF11B, YF19, YF21 and Ghost). Tried out there, and I'm afraid I've not found anything remarkable. do you know if those may be around? (I know the Ghost is, but not sure if we have the other ones already). Thanks all, and have the best weekend ever!
  4. Ahh yea i definitely see the resemblance now with the MRS, RG and OA now... Yea the tariffs blow... The MB Zeta's head is a tad/bit oversized...
  5. Kinda, but you gotta remember that Takara operates semi-independantly from Hasbro, and usually has it's own announcements for their releases in the Japanese market that are separate from Hasbro's releases for the worldwide market. 1- That's the point of Dramatic Capture Series. Re-releases with more accurate, more premium decos. 2- That's the Takara release of the Walmart retro G1 stuff. In the US we've had Bee (new paint), Gears (new head), Brawn (new head), and Seaspray (whole new toy), and we're waiting on Outback (retooled from Brawn) and Wheelie (new mold). 3-The Takara release of the Target-exclusive SS86 Sunstreaker, Hot Rod, and Hound. 4- Takara had previously announced a more animation-accurate repaint of MP-13 Soundwave in their MPG line. Stands to reason they'd repaint/re-issue all his cassettes, too. 5- While that Transformers Timelines set has been revealed by Hasbro they haven't solicited preorders yet, let alone shipped.
  6. Today
  7. https://ebay.us/m/zyJlca It appears someone is trying to sell ultra crappy recasted soldiers and claiming these were official to some capacity. Just putting this out there.
  8. It’s from a manga, Double Fake. It’s about a junker that kinda builds his own stuff outta trash and gets caught up in a conflict This is the second kit from the series, they did the D gundam first last year
  9. Well, after blowing most of the show's budget on the ridiculously elaborate atrium set to the detriment of literally everything else they're naturally gonna shoot the money... Eh... that's such a common trope across Star Trek that it's hardly grounds to complain. Star Trek loves "A form you are comfortable with" for alien-created illusions, hallucinations, visions, and what have you. The Prophets in DS9 used it almost exclusively, only ever creating one original locale in the entire series. TBH, I've been expecting audiences to turn on AI characters for a while now thanks to the public's general overestimation of what modern AI technology is and the widespread (and entirely correct) view that that technology really only produces mindless derivative slop with no redeeming value. A bit unfair to characters like Data or the Doctor, IMO, who are self-aware artificial general intelligences rather than mindless virtual assistants like the computer voice interface... but still expected given the present climate. (In "The Ensigns of Command", Data seems to regard his own artistic experiments as AI slop due to believing he was not capable of originality... even advising Picard to see a different violinist's performance for essentially that reason.)
  10. Did they just get lazy and reissue everything, some with a new paint job?
  11. I found one canard didn't line up wit the other. I looks like I had two of the same side installed (I bought mine from AmiAmi and shipped to Australia, so I don't know how difficult it would be to claim a defect. You can see that there is subtle shape to the canards that would make them left and right. I ended up applying some heat with a hair dryer to the affected side and bent it to match the other side which worked quite well. Both canards align evenly now.
  12. Latest episode once again stars the atrium set. Funny how at any hour of the day or night this giant heavily traffic area can become the private, quiet meeting space for these handful of cadets. Holly, The Doctor and Sam go to see her fellow hologram people. Who naturally make their own environment look like the Academy's atrium to make the visitors feel more comfortable. My current distaste for AI slop has grown to a dislike of AI based characters. The Doctor, Sam and even Data. I don't care what happens to these characters. Despite how they act these artificial characters are not real. I see these characters as AI chat bots. Real people were denied positions in Star Fleet because of AI. I'm now Doctor Pulaski fan.

    1/55's revisited

    The toy that began my addiction.
  14. More like Ogrish (before Liveleak) back in the day...
  15. …picked this guy up the other day from a local comic/gaming shop for 40 dollars. complete surprise, never happens in my world. incomplete but very solid - it brings back some great memories
  16. Well, we all know who helped with this purchase, especially since he has a certain animosity towards Netflix (as we've seen recently), and helping a friend within the company to achieve this was kind of obvious.
  17. Paramount Skydance Poised to Acquire Warner Bros. Discovery After Netflix Bows Out of Bidding War (Variety) My comment on this is, how is this being financed and how much debt is being incurred from the WB-Discovery merger that just finished last year (as in, I wonder when the ROI actually changes to black).
  18. Thanks @Big s I have used Milliput and like it and imagine it will adhere to resin. One way to find out. (= @Thom hahahaha i have been home for a couple days with a sick kiddo and found some time to dig into this mess of a project. All smiles though considering
