It looks like it's going both ways! Pretty cool looking though.

Very cool! Liking the animation and I love that ship!

Yeah, but I'd settle for the 1/3000 Matchbox TV version.

As good a place to start as any!

It looks interesting for a fun/romp movie. Get the tub of popcorn! Just as long as it's not 11 year old popcorn...

@peter You're not alone, must of us only look at them from a few feet away anyway!

AMT 1/1000 USS Excelsior done.

Finished with GCal Aztec Decals meant for the Enterprise B, and a hodgepodge of parts from both NCC2000 and NX2000 versions, so not screen accurate by any means.

The kit was hard for me to build, lots of gaping seams, lots of filling and sanding.  I built this model entirely without magnification so there are a lot of errors, please do not zoom in, lol!

 

 

 

Glad it's finished, don't think I would ever build another one, hahahahaha! 

I zoomed and I REGERET NOTHING!! Outstanding looking Excel!

Peng, I have all confidence that you could build that!

Wowzers!! That's a shat ton of goodness.

@MechTech Well as the saying goes, 'I know they're in there!'😛

And onto my Academy 1/72 F-4J! While awaiting some PE for the 'pit I'm doing the cans first. I thought I might get some resin replacements, but they cost too much and would take too long to arrive, so I'll be doing a little 'home improvement.'

First is the detail of the burners which, while also being stuck pretty deep into the tunnel, are pretty simplistic.

But I have the parts for the F-14A variant that I'm not using.

So a little work has been done, first drilling a hole through the right and sitting it atop the one on the left.

Then I broke into the metal stash and cut some rods to form rings for the burners.

Now to glue that together and duplicate it!

@pengbuzz Dude! That Vader is looking awesome!

Having not watched the newer ones, 007 movies have always held to a strong vein of reality-based fantasy. I'm assuming, despite the more gritty take, that hasn't changed much.

Going to town on that @pengbuzz! Looking pretty good.

Nose gear well is done, painted up and weathered with a dark panel line wash.

And mated to the cockpit tub before the nose sides were closed around it.

I have some seamless intakes on the way and I'll need to order some seats for the D variant. But, modeling on!

Thom

Thanks @MechTech

@pengbuzz Some great work on that X-Wing! Can't wait to see what you do for the Vader figure!

And @Rock Nora's fighter is looking aces! Love the paint job.

Did a little painting on my Tomcat. White mainly for the intakes, trunking and exhaust tunnels, but also a hit for the gear well. Now to detail paint a little bit.

Thom

Dude, go to town! That looks great.

@sqidd Sweet catch!

BT is definitely more of a burly beast! Airwolf looks like some rich kids suped-up Beemer. And I'm not saying that to take away from its looks, as both look really great.

Wherever you sit on the divide, commentators have been the true death of actual news. 

I would be happy if the 24 hour news cycle died as quickly as it had formed.

I've never added detail to a wheel well, might I might give it a try on my 1/48 VF-1 if I ever get around to it. 

Worth having a go. Even the smallest addition can go along way.

All this talk about news media and cool names for tv reminded me that there was a news anchor with the name Wolf Blitzer. That dude may be famous for what he does, but missed his calling to be an NFL quarterback or action movie star.

Guy has an awesome name!

There is always time for Bad Man!

Wow @pengbuzz that looks like a completely different figure!

Not the best pic, but I did some work on the nose wheel well.

You always overcome the odds @pengbuzz! Nice bit of saving.

@derex3592 Always glad for the good paint weather. Looking good.

Sounds like National Enquirer TV.
