    Aaand, on to the next project! 😉 Still early but here's what I'm working on next. In playing with the Al Shahal map, it was quickly becoming apparent that while I have a hard drive full of fighters now, there are pretty much no civilian craft available anywhere. I had made a couple of commercial versions of Zentradi craft to use as background freight haulers but wanted to fill out the spaceport with something more human oriented and decided to start here. I plan to make the Walkure shuttle as well (both are very simple shapes, which is nice), but may need to get inventive since I'm not aware of any other small to mid-size civilian ships in the "official" setting materials besides the container ships seen in Delta. Anyway, hope to have some preliminary textured version of the starliner soon.

    Yep, and I figured if I waited and tried to get it from BBTS, one, I'd have to compete against all the TF fans who want it as a Roadbuster stand-in, and two, BBTS always has a bit of a mark-up on their stuff, so that along with tariffs might mean a far steeper price than just ordering from the source and paying a little more for shipping. Incidentally, they wanted $53.99 for the kit and $34 for shipping, which honestly, didn't seem too bad. I've been wanting a good version of this thing forever, and I love how the finished kit looks, probably more than all the other toys that have released over the years, so yeah, I'm resting easy with having secured a preorder at the price I paid.

    @wm cheng here you go. Giant decal sheet. VF-1D box for comparison. My kid decided I should build a plane. Plamax VF-1 it is.

    For once Venom doesn’t have the most nightmarish smileWolverine looks way too pervy here and that’s definitely not Gal Gadot

    I feel like Tronime was big last decade and still lingering too much and even the fans seem to be complaining, but now Instructional anime is getting overly popular

    Mercy Rabbit box art again. Lots of cool classics getting cool box art

    It’s definitely a tough thing to guess these days with shipping and tariffs

    Another bit of cool board from Mercy Rabbit for the moderoid kit

    I figured about the same regarding price, so I just said the heck with it and ordered.

    I’ve seen a few interviews with Syd Mead in the Blu-ray for Turn A, and he had some interesting ideas about how he always liked to start with the engine and power supply before making shapes of the vehicles like the Spinner and even his mobile suits. Still not sure about that mustache though

    These look great, will they be available in multiple sizes?

    This is definitely one of those simple looking ideas that makes things appear a thousand times more complex. Great execution and can’t wait to see it on the complete model. And if it goes into competition, I’m sure it will be greatly appreciated by the judges

    The preorders just came up last night. Usually the American ones come up a few days later. Not sure if it would save any money though

    Nick Trotta and Blake Foster are two builders renowned for their savant-like abilities to achieve incredible and intricate angles seamlessly in their builds. Moreover, both have an incredible talent for design on its face, as well as intricate detail work. IMHO, they are two of the best MOC builders out there, and that's no small praise considering just how many really talented MOC builders there are. When it comes to Sci-fi designs, though, these guys stand out. I wish I had just an ounce of their talent.

    While sharing our thoughts about the late Gil Gerard of Buck Rogers fame, I thought @electric indigo made an interesting post citing guys like Ralph McQuarrie, Joe Johnston, and Syd Mead, among others for their contributions to sci-fi design. I'm sure there are any number of idea guys at ILM today that come up with designs, and sites like ArtStation exist as a marketplace for such folks. As a huge Sci-fi fan, I'm not only interested in the designs themselves, but the people and the stories behind those creations. I wasn't sure there was a generalized place to talk about that here, so I figured I'd make one. If I'm wrong, Moderators, do your thing. Otherwise, I'm looking forward to the conversation.

    Crazy Lego geometry:

    It wasn’t easy to find a way to compress the arm without making it feel like a Transformers-style toy, but rather something closer to Robotech. I can’t wait to 3D print these parts

    You mean Mugen Gacha which has a crazy long title.. I enjoyed this series at least.

    POed this guy this morning on Good Smile's JP site. Came to $87.99 USD after shipping. After repeatedly checking with their US site and partner sites (BBTS), no one else had it but AmiAmi, who had it for 10% off, but I couldn't figure out their checkout system- it kept routing me back to inputting my email and password in an endless circle. Fortunately, Good Smile's JP site was much easier to navigate and my PO is secured. Can't wait to get this thing.

    I see it as a static image not moving. No motor right!?
  24. Thom
    Where'd you stick the motor?

    Translated the banners to the two info posts above and added new high-res images. 🤗

    Nice! Those look ideal for Master Grade Mobile Suits, Yamato/Arcadia VF-1s, and larger Transformers as well. Tons of customizing potential!
