    That'd impart a whole new interpretation of Long Haul's, erm, dumping capacity.

    Meh... I definitely need more practice using a camera, lol. Also battery died out, so I'll be taking more another day (tmw). Additional replies/posts to follow with more pics/modes/poses: Canopies, two different sets each consisting of clear, tinted, tinted heatshield, matte tinted heatshield: AAL Antennas: Loadout, bay door beam cannon ports are LED capable. I modeled channels/pathing for LEDs and wiring, I kind of gave up trying to wire them after some time... maybe another day:

    Yeah, there are two... Doom (2005) and Doom: Annihilation (2019). The first one was supposed to be an adaptation of Doom 3, but ultimately deviated from it so much in development that by the time it went into production it was essentially a totally unrelated work that was just borrowing the Doom name. The second one was a very loose adaptation of Doom 3 on a hilariously tiny budget that was still bordering on in-name-only status. A deep sense of foreboding is the appropriate reaction to the announcement of a Hollywood anime adaptation. Reasons vary, as you'd expect. The most commonly given reasons come down to trying to broaden the appeal of the movie. Anime may be more mainstream now than it was even ten years ago, but it's still not something that's widely accepted. Premises get made more generic and "accessible", plots are streamlined and simplified, potentially controversial characters and situations wind up removed, and so on. By the time they're done cutting and streamlining and simplifying they've often removed most of the original work's personality. Then, of course, they sometimes have to make concessions for casting decisions too. For instance, Ghost in the Shell cast Scarlett Johansson for her star power and ability to fill out a catsuit... then had to essentially center the entire plot on deflecting accusations of racism and whitewashing for casting a white woman to play a Japanese woman living and working in Japan. If the studios had their way with Akira, it's likely the only thing left of the original when the dust settled would've been Kaneda's iconic bike. They kind of already did... like twenty years ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stealth_(film) It's basically Macross Plus with the serial numbers filed off.

    Probably inadvisable. There's a reason one of the five main types of Irish folk song is "The fae are back on their bullsh*t and I got bamboozled". 🤣 Seems like it'd be in poor taste to name a resort ship meant for tourism after a magical island that you can't leave without recreating the "He chose poorly" scene from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Doubly so if the scholars are correct and Emhain is an cognate of what's now called Avalon in Arthurian mythos. Avalon isn't a place of bounty for living souls to visit, it's a place for the dead and dying and not somewhere people generally come back from. Then again, naming a resort ship with an underground factory after a beautiful seaside town in a kingdom ruled by underground by a power-hungry technocrat is a bit on the nose too.

    It’s the same issue with most comic book movies. I’d imagine that the people in charge really don’t care about the source material and then force things in they think will sell better and remove things they don’t understand

    Didn't everyone say that's what Stealth was?

    I don't know what category. This belongs in. It seems like a insert to a bulk magazine I didn't want to take out all of the contents

    I got the pilot all cleaned up and put together, seams filled, base coat down, and the first round of detail painting done on the body. I also got the head base coated with yellow for the shell as a nod to the old school Jolly Rogers livery. The visor was based on gloss black, then had a very light directional mist of Alclad chrome from the front, and finally topped with clear blue. I really like the effect it produces. Finally, I finished the detailing on the accessory parts, including the clear blue and clear red on the front main gear doors. At this point, I just need to finish the pilot and the oil weathering and I'll be ready for final assembly. I used a lot of subtle variations of greys and greens for the detail painting, I think it adds a lot of life and should really look great once I get some washes and dry brushing done for some more contrast and to highlight things. A new truck I very recently learned for painting yellow is to undercoat with a light pink. It really helps to make the difficult color pop without having to put down too many coats. This is with just a single relatively light coat after laying down the pink. Accessory parts all laid out and waiting for assembly. I really like how the combination of the PE insert, the clear UV resin, and clear top color came together to make the doors pop.
