    Rewatched "A Quality of Mercy" as part of introducing my Trekkie parents to Strange New Worlds. When it comes to the subject of Pike being a soft touch, no episode really encapsulates it better than "A Quality of Mercy" and its alternate take on the events of TOS's iconic "Balance of Terror". Not only does Pike's softer, more informal style lead to him failing to crack down on the racism on his bridge but even with a second ship for support he ends up fumbling the encounter with the Romulan Bird of Prey so badly that it causes more than a decade of warfare that goes so badly for the entire quadrant that the Klingon monks on Boreth make another once-in-a-generation exception for the same guy to take a time crystal and fix the timeline. And a random thought... since Strange New Worlds definitely wants to skew lighter and softer than other modern Star Trek shows (to its considerable benefit), y'know who'd be a good antagonist to bring back? The Kzinti. They're mentioned in Picard and we actually see a Kzinti Starfleet officer on the Cerritos in Lower Decks. They're a stubborn nuisance-level threat who are apparently still hassling the Federation on some level even in 2401. They were originally going to show the Kzinti starting sh*t with humanity back in Enterprise's fifth season (before the series was cancelled), and it'd be fun to bring them back as a lighter-and-softer nemesis for Pike now that the Gorn have been put back on the shelf until Kirk's era and the Federation's cold war with the Klingons is ongoing.

    Is OP serious? Brock Peters has been dead for 20 years... I thought this was a necro thread for a second.

    Final Report : Enterprise Leaving Space Dock : NCC-1701...No bloody A, B, C or D! 😂. Polar Lights 1/1000 TOS Enterprise Space Seed Edition completed. This was a looong build because life interfered over the past year and a half, this kit was old, you can just tell.... it's my least favorite Enterprise design and the fit issues... My goodness. Soooo much putty and sanding to get rid of ALL the seams..thought it would never end... along with other issues that cropped up along the way...stupid clear domes that are now forever rattling around inside the saucer... But anyways!!!... I'm pretty darn happy with the final result. Looks good enough for me to want to display it at work with my other 1/1000 scale ships. Enjoy the pics! Onto the next unfinished kit on the list! 😁

    I love this toy, and it also makes me mad at the same time, because I hate that Bandai can’t make an anime looking kit of this design for the model builders.

    Knew him as Admiral Cartwright and the father of The Sisko in Star Trek. Didn’t realize he voiced Lucius Fox in Batman: TAS too. RIP

    I know the Yamato Fan Racer kit I got from somewhere had the pilot with it. I don't thiiiiink I bought it with my Angel Birds release, but I can't say for sure. No Landing gear though did bum me out. I had plans to make a cool diorama with the 1:60 hand painted Petite Cola machine and figures from @EXO back in the day along side the Yamato VF-1D and Roy's TV-1S and the Angel Bird 1A.

    Nice work. Freyja reminds me of McD lol. Speaking of Freyja, I always found it strange that her outfit color is swapped with Kaname, based on how everyone is supposed to go by hair color. I feel like the whole "red ranger = MC" trope really messed up their color assignments, and it trickles down all the way to these VFG models. Kaname even gets shafted by having black and gray for secondary colors to go with her filler ranger color lol

    Just replaced my yellowed VF-1J & S through Mandarake, Was slightly pissed when a dealer sent me the VF-1J in 2005 saying it was in pristine condition! 🤬 But now complete with excellent condition versions, tucked into the back of my storage closed.... 🤗

    For those that would like a 2nd chance to watch the concert - it's now in Shanghai - 15th November 2025! Not sure if they would follow the same format or will they also bring the YF-29. Guess will have to wait and see. Video of May'n re-recod of Chase the world - I really thought she was doing kung fu moves!

    Wow, hadn't realized how long it's been since I posted anything here, apologies for that. Have still been working on things, but not a lot that's photogenic, unfortunately. Stumbled on the VFG models a bit ago and recently took a break from Unity and animation learning to chuck out some quick versions of these schemes. I only really like the Reina version, but once I had that made, the others were very quick repaints. Anyway, a couple of shots here to keep the thread alive, carry on! 😉

    True. Or if she's out of coffee.... Riker would drop an asteroid on him...

    And yes im gonna be pedantic and kinda off topic with this next one. Wanted help from the ones that have the Ghost Booster set Needed the diameter measurements of the pegs for armaments, or the peg holes of the Arcadia VF 0 soo it can be compatible (fuel pod and missile pods that comes with the booster) plus the lenght and width of the Ghost. Gonna commission a friend if they could just model it to be 3d printable. If yall can help with this, Im happy ^^
