    I got the pilot all cleaned up and put together, seams filled, base coat down, and the first round of detail painting done on the body. I also got the head base coated with yellow for the shell as a nod to the old school Jolly Rogers livery. The visor was based on gloss black, then had a very light directional mist of Alclad chrome from the front, and finally topped with clear blue. I really like the effect it produces. Finally, I finished the detailing on the accessory parts, including the clear blue and clear red on the front main gear doors. At this point, I just need to finish the pilot and the oil weathering and I'll be ready for final assembly. I used a lot of subtle variations of greys and greens for the detail painting, I think it adds a lot of life and should really look great once I get some washes and dry brushing done for some more contrast and to highlight things. A new truck I very recently learned for painting yellow is to undercoat with a light pink. It really helps to make the difficult color pop without having to put down too many coats. This is with just a single relatively light coat after laying down the pink. Accessory parts all laid out and waiting for assembly. I really like how the combination of the PE insert, the clear UV resin, and clear top color came together to make the doors pop.

    I'll agree; One Piece does a good job at that for the most part. I just cringe anymore when it's announced a studio "has an adaption coming". I remember reading a supposed version of "the upcoming Voltron movie" (yeah, the original was King of 100 Beasts GoLion) that made me glad it went back to development hell. I think I know the answer already, but I'll just ask anyways: why do they ignore the source material when doing this? I know some stuff may not translate well into our culture or may be too weird/ perverted/ violent/ other-reason-I-can't-think-of-right-now. But in much of what I've seen, these things are barely recognizable from their sources and in at least a few cases, are practically unwatchable (imo). *praying they never try a live action adaption of Macross Plus*

    Do you know if they currently have any flights or cruises out to there? Asking for a friend...

    Got another one; this time for the 22 inch (1/537) "Cutaway" TOS-E that I designed. The ones included in the first issue weren't accurate, and these are for folks who bought or already have that kit:

    I didn’t know they ruined Doom twice. I saw a live action one a few years back that really sucked and maybe that was enough that when I hear the name Doom, I stay far away unless it’s for a video game

    That makes sense. It's super cool regardless, but would've been mind-boggling if it did.

    Psylocke looks good. Can't wait. Be sure to check your order from time to time. At least one person had their order cancelled. https://www.toyark.com/forums/showpost.php?p=945085&postcount=83148

    The UK does have a collectors edition though through Anime Limited, which is also available in America through Crunchyroll store. It's not cheap but it has both versions in it. I know because I own it lol.

    I'd argue that One Piece is proof that it is possible for there to be such thing as a western anime adaptation that respects the source material. It's very much the exception that tests the rule that western anime adaptations are awful. Of course, it was always going to have issues because One Piece is so incredibly weird that there were always going to have to be some significant compromises to make it work with living actors. About the best we can reasonably hope for from Hollywood is something like Alita: Battle Angel which plays fast and loose with the original story in order to essentially speedrun the most iconic moments in a single two-hour span. You only get that if there are superfans involved, though. The far more likely fate is a western "creative" trying to give their own new interpretation of the work and turning it into a dumpster fire that proves they missed the point completely. Akira would probably have ended up a generic sci-fi monster movie like what they did to Doom twice.

    Hey, that looks great!

    Yeah, I searched on both the likely romanizations and the kana string itself for quite a while. Not a string with a lot of plausible results, though... unless Ukyo Kodachi is really into tapas. Emhain Abhlach (pronounced Ah-win) is certainly an alternative, though not one I'm sure fits the story... or the kana if we're being honest. It is a mythical island paradise... but in keeping with the usual themes of magical and otherworldly locales in Irish mythology and folklore, it's one of those places where Time Works Differently and You Can't Go Home Again. Emhain Abhlach is your standard Land of Plenty and Ease where mortal wealth is so abundant to have lost all value, with abundant food and water that needs no human labor to cultivate or maintain, and of course a population of... how can we put this politely?... "welcoming" women. The catch being that, when you leave, you discover that you've been gone for hundreds of years and will instantly age those hundreds of years the minute you get off the boat. It doesn't seem to have any meaningful connection to the tropically-themed ocean resort ship in Macross the Ride. That's the one I hit on as a likely suspect. Evna is a beautiful town near the Nonestic Sea in the Land of Ev, which is under the corrupt influence of a malevolent industrial capitalist autocrat (the Nome King) who rules his domain through an industrial monopoly, treats his own people as borderline slave labor, and actively conspires to oppress people in other lands. The resort ship Evna belongs to the Macross Galaxy fleet, and has a Galaxy corporation secret factory in its sublevels, meaning it's a beautiful seaside community ruled from underground by malevolent industrial capitalist autocrats (the cyber-nobles) who treat their own people as slave labor and want to oppress other nations similarly. Some commentary from Kodachi would be nice.

    I’d definitely suggest the anime for alita. It’s kinda quick but unfortunately never gets too far into the story, but it looks great and you could actually do an anime watch and then the movie to get more of the story as a kind of double feature to check out the differences. The manga is great as well, but I’ve got a lot of catching up to do. I’d love a sequel to the movie as well though

    Those look awesome!

    I haven't watch either anime originals of GitS or ABA, but I really liked both movies on their own merit. Still awaiting that sequel to Alita...

    I made my peace with their release strategy a few years ago...
