  1. Past hour
  2. So much of Dedra's story is internalized, told through Denise Gough's facial expressions rather than explicit dialogue, that it's hard to get a clear read on her character at the best of times... and the time jumps between second-season episodes don't help, either. 😒 Like, when and why did she and Cyril become lovers? I would've liked to have seen their relationship explored, rather than the matter-of-fact way it's simply established that they're a couple as of 4 BBY. So much of what occurs in 1 BBY we are told by other characters; we learn from Lonni Jung that Dedra had files pertaining to the Death Star project, and we learn from Krennic that Lonni had used her credentials to access her data, but there's no indication of precisely how long she'd been in possession of that information. In fact, I suspect the whole "it was e-mailed to me by mistake" excuse was a lie to obfuscate the sheer amount of hacking she must've done in her relentless pursuit of Luthen. Dedra is an unreliable narrator for many reasons, not the least of which is her claim to have been raised in "an Imperial kinder-block" since the age of three. Since the Galactic Empire had only been around for 15 years at that point (and she's clearly in her 40s), Imperial kinder-blocks would not have existed when she was a child! 🤨
  3. It's not just one file. It's a bunch of them that she received over a period of years. That's a big part of why Director Krennic is so incredibly pissed at her. She was mistakenly copied on classified reports from his Jedha Working Group that she was not cleared to have for at least two entire years. That suggests the mistake was made somewhere around Ep4 "Ever Been to Ghorman?" and that she had been receiving classified files without authorization the entire rest of the series prior to her arrest in Ep11 "Who Else Knows?".
  4. I get the feeling that it was before the second batch of episodes for the second season. I may be wrong, but I get the impression that by that point she has a pretty good understanding of what they were needing the resources for
  5. At that size, will there be a cockpit?
  6. Today
  7. mine will be approx. scale 1/25 (23cm), however you can just scale it up or dawn in the slicer
  8. Looking ahead to Summer 2025.. and I'm screwed..
  9. I don't have that patience!Great looking job and well worth it.
  10. I'm playing catch up with Spring 2025 offerings.. and I have dropped a few but there are some standouts. Can a Boy-Girl Friendship Survive? - I talked about this one before, it at least kept my attention long enough to finish. Doing some research the LN is still going and the anime is doing an Anime Original ending.. with that said.. the ending was an absolute mess, just about as much of a mess as Himari was this whole series. The highlight of the series was Rion. 5/10 From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman - I just read this got a 2nd season.. so very pleased. I think this series was overlooked and I would recommend this as a high point this season. It had its cheese moments, but it was entertaining enough for me to come back to it each week. 7.5/10 The Brilliant Healer's New Life in the Shadows - Overall not bad, I expected it to be worse after reading some reviews. I think this one suffers from terminal 1 cour syndrome, where there is more to the story but we will never see it unless you dig into the source. 5/10 Please Put Them On, Takamine-san - I don't plan on finishing.. the censoring was abhorrent and I don't care enough to go back and give it a re-watch uncensored. 2/10 I've Been Killing Slimes For 300 Years And Maxed Out My Level Season 2 - This was a big let down. I enjoyed the silliness of the first season, but the 2nd season was just boring. I don't think I got past episode 6. I might go back and try again, but I think I am done with it. 3/10 I'm the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire! - Another one I would recommend from this season. I am somewhat familiar with the Manga, and it was pretty good. I have a feeling this is another just 1 cour and that is it series. My complaint about this series was the amount of time "The Guide" is given in the anime, compared to the manga. 7/10 Sword of the Demon Hunter: Kijin Gentōshō - I am really enjoying this one, I am a few episodes behind on it but I am happy to see its going to be going for more then 1 cour. This might be my choice for best of Spring 2025. 8/10 My Hero Academia: Vigilantes - My other choice for anime of the season. I was not into the main series, superhero stuff is meh IMO. This series though has a balanced plot and the premise is pretty good. I think the lack of the OP characters actually makes this better.. 8/10 Yandere Dark Elf: She Chased Me All the Way From Another World! - I dropped this series after 4 episodes. The censorship was even worse then Takamine-san. 2/10 Aharen-san wa Hakarenai Season 2 - For the same reasons I enjoyed the first season, the 2nd did not disappoint. I think people can safely dive into S2 and get caught up pretty easily. 7/10 Summer Pockets - Still going and I am a few episodes behind. I will say this though.. its the strongest Key/Visual Arts anime to drop in some time. I am enjoying it and its light years ahead of ReWrite.. 7/10 Kakushite! Makina-san!! - ugh.. this is the worst on the ecchi scale of the 3 this season. However.. the story is not dead like the other 2. still.. 4/10 Catch Me at the Ballpark! - Another recommended one from me, the Mrs even enjoyed this one. More cute girls doing cute things, and I would like to see this get another season. 7/10 I might have missed 1 or 2 and I have a few others I am watching as I attempt to stay current.. which is futile.
  11. That's some fantastic modeling and print work, well done! 3D printing is really a game changer for the hobby.
  12. *raises hand* When, in terms of what episode, does Deedra get that file (dealing with Death Star). Was this detail in the story one of those force Choked devices that occurred because Andor was compressed from 4 or 5 seasons to 2?
  13. This looks fantastic! Great work on both the Valkyrie and the base. I love the paint scheme, it's very unique. I plan on doing a catapult launch diorama with the Fine Molds F-4B I recently picked up and this gives me some great ideas on ways to construct the deck and blast deflectors.
  14. I did some more work with the oils yesterday. I got some white down on the upper fuselage for some subtle sun bleaching and panel variation. I also finished up the detailing in the wheel wells. I'm really enjoying working with the oils, but it's definitely a slow, methodical process. And even with leaching the oils out by dispensing the paint on to cardboard, the drying time is long (but that's also one of the advantages of oils). I think it's definitely worth it and my patience is being rewarded.

  16. I know there’s the mini kits in 1/72 and there’s the upcoming Zenith model kit in 1/48 scale. What scale will this be?
  17. hi everyone, here in the summer heat i have been creating this in tinkercad... its one of the mechs from Front Mission Evolved (with my own interpretation mixed in) i will now work on getting it print ready for FDM printers.
  18. He also has those terrible to pose up/down shoulders like Vega did and they couldn't even get his blue color near correct. ...and Bandai never finishes these lines.
  19. I was checking this one out. I’m curious to see their inevitable Wolverine. I’m also curious to see if they do a good amount of the characters from the “Gamerverse” Will they just do X-Men or the other Marvel characters and are we getting some of the capcom characters like Stryder
  20. I remember heavy gear from the mid 90’s. Lots of cool mecha
