As I begin painting my tiny Cygnus, I look to vintage promotional photographs for reference: This model was larger and more detailed than any ILM had produced for Star Wars, and the lighting scheme was particularly complex. See all those little yellow and red running lights, surrounding the docking ring in straight lines along the bow? How am I going to reproduce those at this scale? I came up with a unique solution for painting them, which required additions to the 3D model itself: Each of those lights is represented by a cylindrical protrusion 250 microns in diameter. If your eyesight is not significantly compromised by age, they might be visible to the naked eye. I can barely make them out myself... They're substantial enough to catch the edge of a small paintbrush or acrylic marker, however. ☺️

Wow, I'm very impressive with this movie

Same. 😅 -
Yes, the Pose+ will require complete disassembly for parts replacement and repainting... just as the Sentinel ride-armors have. 😑 The upcoming Moderoid model kit may be the very first Mospeada merchandise I haven't had to modify for anime-accuracy.

As a huge metalhead myself, I've been stunned week after week with the end credit music. I mean, getting the rights to a Metallica recording used to be impossible (so impossible, in fact, that Paramount had to commission a whole new song just to get them on the Mission: Impossible 2 soundtrack), and not since Tool's debut EP -- 33 years ago! -- has any Tool music appeared in a movie. 🤯 When Stinkfist started playing over the final shot of "Mr. October," I honestly assumed it was some kind of software glitch on my computer. 🤨

Finally got a chance at the new episode. Now that the human soldiers are out of the way, I kinda like it better. Those guys deserved to die for their absolute stupidity. There’s also a few concepts that I really wasn’t into the last couple episodes that are kinda growing on me the more I think about them. Anyway, aside from my odd theories I still kinda like the show despite certain issues. And another Head Banger to end the episode. Whoever did the soundtrack to this show is probably a huge metalhead.

We’ve all wanted this out of the box!
-
Definitely keeping up with the cool figures
-
I haven’t watched that in a couple decades. I think I always thought I was missing part 1and 2. Sorta like Leonard part 1-5
-
A lot of people didn't like the original when it came out. I got super into it, though, so I'm still planning on picking up the sequel. But on PC.
-
Cancelled my Daemon x Machina pre-order. The demo gameplay was terrible.
-
VF-1D fighter!
-
Very impressive. You can April Fool's everyone next year by making it look like Sentinel displayed it at a show as the next release.

Synchronized shooting:

Armitage III suggested just the opposite.
-
The really hilariously sad thing? I still think this might be the best official aircraft transformer we've seen in about a decade. -
Sanity check... I somehow missed that among all the things going on in the episode, and it seems like a fairly important point that probably should have been obvious to the viewer.
-
Hm... it depends on what LEDs they've chosen, but in theory a stack of 8 AG4s should be able to run LEDs like this for maybe a week or so of continuous operation. I'd assume most collectors won't leave the LEDs on continuously, so it hopefully shouldn't be a problem.
-
thanks. maybe the button batteries will last a while. hope it's not a hassle to replace. ( hopefully not too much taking apart or lots of screws to get to the battery locations)

The Transformers Thread (licensed) Next

Not gonna lie, that made a compelling argument for this thing. -
NGL this thing could have passed for a valk if they weren't so bent on having those oversized truck windshields hanging out the bottom of the fighter, and scrunching up the feet/thrusters closed just to fit in the folding wheels.

Okay, I'm gonna say Episode 3 was a lack luster.
-
Thanks guys. I guess I always saw that there and my eyes just went right over that information. Has anyone actually built the VF-1 Super fighter here? Would love to see some pics.

He comes with three faces. One flat face plate, one smiling, and the singing one. -
Does it actually come with the Elvis raised lip face like in the video?
