    I first saw "Star Fleet" on Showtime cable, and was immediately taken by it. Years later I learned Brian May did the theme

    Yeah, we have the HBOMax/Hulu/D+ bundle and D+ gets the least amount of attention since the end of the Andor series.

    I approached it sort of like I was painting one of my Warhammer 40k joytoy figures. I mainly used some citadel and vallejo paints, For the blue surface areas, I lightly stippled Macragge Blue and Calgar Blue with a large round drybrush. Airbrushed some Tyran Blue shade paint which is a darker blue with random movements to help give a bit of a mottling effect. Used some Eshin Grey on the intakes to dirty them up a bit. Panel lining was done with Tamiya black panel line accent color. A very highly thinned flat black was airbrushed on for some post shading along panel lines and to give more depth to recessed areas. Selectively applied edge highlights were done by dipping a brush into some Fenrisian Grey, brushing some off on a texture palette and running the side of the bristles of the brush along the edges or with the tip of a 0 size brush in places where that method is not viable. The thruster vanes were painted using Vallejo's metal color line using gunmetal grey and steel and edge highlighted with silver. To seal everything in, I airbrushed Vallejo's Satin and Ultra-matte polyurethane varnishes. Doing the satin first and then selectively with the matte in certain areas. Unfortunately I didn't think to take any in-progress pics.

    I had a very limited knowledge of it having seen pics or models of the purplish-bluish mecha over the years. Irecognized some insectile qualities in that mecha alone, but prompted by your suggestion, I checked out a review/synopsis on YT. First, I wasn't aware that Tomino san was behind it, or that it was one of the first isekai anime. Beyond that, concerning the mecha design, most definitely insectile. Pretty cool.

    They look inspired by the Prequel Trilogy.....I will pass on these for sure... Captain Phasma... Praetorian Guard... Knights of Ren....

    Looks amazing!

    Mechanical Marie ended. I knew this would happen in the end. I thought it was a decent show.

    Care to share any details on how you did this to the YF-21? Looks amazing! Any in-progress behind the scenes shots?

    Was definitely a great intro. I loved 70’s and 80’s intros, they were always cool and had great music

    I wonder if there is a reason for Kawamori to not include horizontal stabilizers on the VF-1; if there is a pure mechanical or aesthetic reason to not include those into the design.

    I always wanted one, but the prices have been ridiculous over the years. Maybe they'll do a reissue someday and I can jump on it!
  14. MKT
    Just... wow!

    @Urashiman Ah, I got confused between that and the box with the VF-!D. @SteveTheFish A more mature Min-Mei, still performing live on Megaroud 01 on the far side of the galaxy! @pengbuzz I can do with some Thunderfighter reissues! I have two currently, one a 'new' kit and the other a prebuilt that could use to be torn down and redone.

    Same here; really Liked Gil Gerard. He just seemed to fit the role so well, and the first season was really well done (the second... not so much). I still remember when I first saw the opening: On that note: if they're reissuing the Black Hole models, then they need to reissue the Buck Rogers ones as well!

    Basically they’ve become extra pretty Taken sequels

    Nice work on her, and that lil Buck Roger’s ship is cool. Really down about the lead actor passing away

    Yes, as far as I'm aware "Star Fleet" is somewhat more obscure in the US. As it happens, I was browsing a local HMV (yes, we still have those) the other day and much to my surprise they actually had "The Star Fleet Project" CD (Mays cover mini-album of the series music)! I guess it must have been re-issued fairly recently! If you like insectoid designs, and you're not already familiar with it, you may want to check out "Aura Battler Dunbine"... 😄

    So I invested a small part of my family fortune for a 3D viewing last night. In terms of CGI craftmanship, the franchise is still cutting edge, and 3D is the proper way to enjoy these films. The art department was also firing on all cylinders fleshing out the new creatures & environments, and the first 20 minutes or so of establishing narration were my favorite part of the movie. The "plot" pretty much spirals down to iterations of "Surrender Jake Sully - we got your wife/daughter/other daughter/adopted son/Jake Sully", still the resulting action sequences were mostly well entertaining. The character interactions got on my nerves pretty quickly, with the notable exception of the queen of the fire people. Oona Chaplin's character pretty much steals the scene in each of her sequences, and she fills the gap of a competent villain that was so obvious in the second movie. The Reco Quaritch, in comparision, is mostly borderline comical this time.

    I finally finished that small, 3D-printed Minmay figure my friend gave me a few years ago. The UN Spacy logo is from a set of Macross decals I bought on eBay years back, some of which I'd used on my 1:100 Imai Armored Valk I finished earlier this year. The pattern on her dress is from leftover decals from a Haku Rinpha resin kit from Hasegawa Eggplane Girls series. She is VERY small, so zooming in with my camera like this is exposing the flaws I cannot see with my naked eyes. Her eyes turned out better than I thought they would. The new Minmay resin kit that Hasegawa will release this month is almost the same as this figure.

    Excellent work! It looks awesome!

    First teaser of Look Back LA

    I get a chance, I'm going to have to try just "bare plastic" with simple panel lining. Especially since such a thing would make it a lot easier on my lungs!

    For anyone planning to get MB Barbatos, prepare to possibly spend more on an option set... https://www.taghobby.com/archives/899848
