    I'll let you all know how mine is in 2-4 months...

    You're not alone there. That Starfleet Academy is another unasked-for spinoff of Star Trek: Discovery is likely to make the series a hard sell for a lot of Star Trek fans. You'd think Discovery's status as the fandom's un-favorite and the lowest-rated Star Trek series of all time would given the network pause for thought even before their first spinoff of the series, Section 31, crashed and burned so hard it became the worst-reviewed Star Trek title of all time. Kurtzman keeps doubling down on his bad idea as if he hopes that if he just keeps pushing fans will come around and like it. That's the thing... it wasn't. Earth's role in the story is basically getting sh*t on for hoarding dilithium after the Burn and going isolationist because they assumed the Burn was an attack.

    I think first you'd have to find someone here who actually received them...like the gbp armors, they have been missing for years now....at least outside of China

    My Dress up darling was just awesome again yesterday. I love the other students reactions to Gojo-kun.

    Just saw it with my family. Would have been better if the family with the trio of really young kids would have realized that they probably should have left them with a sitter because they didn't shut up the entire time, but hey. I really liked the comic-accurate Galactus. Alternate universe or not I wish they'd kept Norrin Radd as the Surfer. Getting a little tired of Pedro Pascal being in everything these days, liked the rest of the cast.

    So, who’s gonna design the -31A conversion kit?
  10. lechuck
    Raising this thread from the dead... Wave is apparently bringing out a new 1/35 kit of the ARX-8 Laevatein (24cm tall). Liking that full cockpit setup with articulated pilot figure.

    Awesome seeing a bunch of irons in the fire. 😊 stay busy my friend. Been wanting to find a 1988 Bronco and paint it to look like the Twin Peaks Sherifs department vehicle from my favorite series. One day! @LocusPocusWelcome and thanks for sharing your builds. I’m so excited to get to work on that kit.

    That's pretty on-brand for a TOS-era Klingon, mind you. This is one of the uniforms used in TOS. Gold and bronze - not counting epic quantities of skin bronzer - were pretty much half of the Klingons entire color palette in that era. The rest was black. Like Starfleet, the Imperial Klingon Defense Force must be updating its uniforms every so often as fashion evolves on the homeworld. The idea of a fashion-conscious Klingon is an inherently funny thought to me, but the sharp metallics do make them very visually distinct from the Starfleet officers in their bright primary colors. Then again, when it comes to makeup and sartorial choices I'll take the TOS Klingons and/or SNW Klingons over the STD Klingorcs 100 times out of 100 without question or hesitation. Hm... nah. I don't think she'll leave the Enterprise, retire from Starfleet, or fall victim to the Redshirt Occupational Hazard. What I think is going on here is that the writers and showrunners for Strange New Worlds sat up and said "Oh sh*t, we've got two whole seasons in the can already and we haven't done anything with one member of the main cast!" Literally every other main cast member has had an episode or multi-episode story arc devoted to fleshing them out as characters except Ortegas. Even new additions like Scotty and recurring guest characters like Pelia and Sam Kirk. Until this last two episodes, Ortegas's entire character could be summed up in her mantra "I'm Erica Ortegas, I fly the ship!". She's that underdeveloped. The PTSD from her near-death experience at the hands of the Gorn is a good opportunity to explore what makes her tick as a person and not just the redshirt who mans the helm. She's been nothing but flippant the entire series so far, so seeing her genuinely rattled should make for some good character development. Unlikely. A lot of people forget this because he's just so iconic as the Enterprise's helmsman, but Mr. Sulu was not the Enterprise's helmsman at the start of TOS. When he was first introduced in the show's second pilot "Where No Man Has Gone Before", Sulu was a science division department head serving under Spock. He doesn't swap his science blues out for the gold command division tunic and a seat at the helm until the show's first regular episode. (Because the show's writers realized there wouldn't really be a need for an astrophysicist every episode, but they did need a regular at the helm.)

    I’m new here, love the site and all the talent. It’s mind blowing the work posted here. I saw @Papa Rat acquired a 1/15 mospeada. I purchased two of the Houquet and after a test fit decided to alter them heavily. Here are a few pics, they are a bit hmarly and will forever be unfinished I suppose.

    Sunday morning projects..... In the words of Morpheus... "He's beginning to believe....", that the Moscato Cats Eye may actually turn into a half way decent display piece at some point! Mr Surfacer Black over the whole thing this morning because well, black hides a lot of things.. LOL... Also beginning to get a good feeling for the POS I mean TOS Enterprise.... LOL. 3rd side project, my buddy at work has been restoring a 93 Bronco and asked me if I could paint a 1/64 Greenlight Hot Wheels size white Bronco the color of his... Pretty happy with it so far! My 1st time attempting to repaint a Hot Wheels size anything!

    Said it before, but, in my opinion, if you can't tackle paint loss, you shouldn't seriously consider offering such a variant. Still, some of those valk colors, especially the non-canon ones, look fun. I just wish the things were made better; especially the metallic Max & Mirya. I know I'm alone here, but I love that metallic blue and red look. I kinda still want to buy them just to leave in static fighter mode. If someone is still looking to offload those...
  18. azrael
    Or the gold-ish tunics all the guys wore. We should be seeing more flatter foreheads though.

    Looks like they're leaning hard into weathering versions.

    Little update on the IMAI Quel-Quallie. There will be a lot of elements needed to be worked out and painted during the assembly process. Almost all of the parts will be captured inside the main body of the ship so unless I deal with them in advance it would be a headache later. Most of the parts also need seam removal or filling of some kind. There are a bunch of these small recessed circle shapes throughout and a little sanding and putty takes care of that no problem. The biggest area needing attention is the void area in the rear between the thrusters. It’s just open and shows some rather clunky attachment points etc… doesn’t look good at all I decided to try and make it more interesting by using some pla plate, a spare part from a Hasegawa VE-1 kit and some Milliput. I’m going to add some more small details as I go like a couple pairs or antennas simply made from brass rods and possible some panel lines. So far so good. It’s a very simple kit like most of these old vintage models.

    From what I can tell from that video, the joints and that pelvic attachment looks tight. Hopefully that QC problem Cod roe got with his unit isn’t common.

    When I had friends at Sentinel, they said they were having a hard time justifying the mold costs because they didn't think the other versions would be marketable. There was conversation about possibly doing them as exclusives but even that seemed unlikely.

    The CMs one came with a sword, didn't it?
  27. Test_Pilot_2
    Another C hit the market @ Mandarake. I'd snag it, but need to cool my rockets or my wife is going to wombo-combo me. Maybe someone here can find it a home.
  28. Test_Pilot_2
    I think I'm in for this 13" tall Legioss - already worked up the spot in the hex case. Regarding the tread - has there been any rumbling of an Iota version?
