    Nice...wonder if this stuff and more will be in the MII book to be included in the upcoming MII BD/4K set?....

    Watched it today with the older kiddos. Solid. Stay for all the credits.

    While I was thinking on this one I did a bit of research, and it turned out to be quite a rabbit hole when it comes to technologies for improving medical prosthetics. Col. Johnson's artificial leg is described as a "robotic prosthetic" limb rather than a cybernetic one. There's apparently a key distinction there in terms of how the prothesis is being controlled. Cybernetic prosthetics would be directly integrated into the nervous system and controlled like a biological limb. Robotic prosthetics, on the other hand, are indirectly monitoring motor nerves via EMG sensors, via magnets implanted in the muscles themselves, or using computer models to guess what the correct posture is instead of working like a biological limb. So it sounds like Millard's leg is not actually tied into his nervous system... which explains why that was a career-ending injury. It's enough to let him walk normally, but he likely doesn't have any feeling in that leg and limited-at-best control over the motions of the joints.

    I saw it today, best Marvel flick in quite some time (shame that you should watch the more mid Black Widow and Falcon and the Winter Soldier first). After years of comic book dialogue Florence Pugh's performance was refreshingly human.

    Thanks so much. I’ll post a finished pic tomorrow. @Chas @derex3592 @Big s @Thom Next up I will be rocking out some IMAI Orguss kits. Is it proper to say Orgi when talking about two or more Orguss kits? Hahahaa. Dad joke. Very excited to keep riding this old kit train.

    Oh boy!!!! That’s going to be good. The 1/100 are so big. This is a perfect size.

    Looks like a prime painting station, @derex3592. Have to agree that the 1/100 VF-1 is looking very sharp, @Papa Rat. Those mods were well worth it, @Chas.

    Was on taghobby and saw some more gold goodness in 1/144 for Volks IMS line

    Thanks! It took me a bit, but I finally got it to work! Now I just have to find/ print ones for the 22 inch (1/537) cutaway TOS E that I'm working on. The ones that came with it are the wrong font and the wrong size; since this was a find 2nd hand, I cannot get replacement ones without paying a chunk for them. ANd that's also not counting a replacement dome for the split one they included for the one war engine that's cut in half (trying to build a whole one). Looking pretty decent there Chaz!! Between both modes, the details flex and fluctuate quite a bit (ran into this when I was rebuilding my 1/3000 Matchbox SDF-1).

    Looks really great, that old kit could easily be mistaken for something newer

    I didn't even know it was robotic; I wouldn't even call that a "lucky guess" so much as Macross Chronicle revealing something we didn't know. I just mentioned it in passing over Macross and replacement limbs/ implants. With that revealed, I suppose he has a post implanted that the leg attaches to and allows for some dexterity/ feel?

    There are absolutely a ton of ways to reconstruct the original UCS Imperial Shuttle that would be much more accurate to the original shape, and just more solid all around. Embedding several layers of ratcheted hinges in the wing pivots would be a great way to start, since they have a much lower profile and would give better support than the old crankshaft design. I've been waiting for them to get around to a redesign of that one for years.

    @Papa Rat Thanks! I'm SO stoked! That VF-1D looks like it just came off the assembly line!
  22. Chas
    Wow! You made that old kit shine. Great job.

    It's just confusing, no other Amazon does that.

    Couple extra pics-heavy duty bomber (4 arms!) and a exo-type power suit for the Marduk, pretty wild!

    Little update on that old 1/100 ARII kit. I think I will finish it up tonight. It’s getting close and not looking too crappy.
  26. Papa Rat
    Looks great! I bet you are stoked to get back at it.

    Soon!!!!
