    That is one fantastic looking Daedalus!! He did a lot of work, just wish he'd also made some decals. But awesome, altogether!

    @MechTech Thanks! It's Academy's newer 1/72 F-14A. Said to have all the parts for all variants, but the seats were missing some for the D-variant, so I raided a Revell Hornet and mashed them together with some blank styrene.

    Most of the assembly is done on my F-4J. It was going to be Showtime 100, but some hiccups in construction made me alter that. Also got the Finemolds F-4J kit and it has markings for the Freelancers, so I'll be trading those out and saving Showtime 100 for another build. As it sits now. And since I'm doing this in a GB that I'm going to miss the deadline on, I'm going to shift it to the side and go back to the F-14 GB and get it to the same level of construction before painting both. Here's the progress so far on the Tomcat. Modelling on!

    'Wild' my brown-stained tuchus! That was quite the spin!

    Saw the first two episodes and I'm really liking it. Really love Hawkeye's dry whit. Though I did go in thinking this was a movie. I think I'll wait until they are all out before binging the rest.

    Agree! Great looking console @arbit 1/144 scale, or is that still too big? Probably save space if you just do the floor and the 'back' wall.

    @pengbuzz Nice save at the 2021 Buzzer! Just proves you can't keep a good modeller down! @Urashiman Looking good! Now I can't wait to see the finish.

    A very enjoyable movie! It has the character dynamics down pretty good and at points their interactions were more of a draw than the story itself. Phoebe's corny jokes had be laughing. Of course there was plenty of nostalgia to get an old guy like me grinning. It did lean on that nostalgia a little too much, IMO, but not in too bad of a way. I did note that I didn't really hear any reference to Ghostbusters 2. There was a scene where Ray is telling what happened to the team and all the references were to the first movie, like the second hadn't happened. I wonder if Ghostbusters 2 is even canon anymore..? Anyway, the effects were great and I have to say hearing the proton pack being flicked on just brought me right back to the elevator scene. Love that sound. And seeing Ecto-1 turning and burning like a hot rod was awesome! The iffy... But iffies aside, I had fun watching it and that's all that really matters. I'd go and watch it again. Definitely a movie being put on the shelf.😀

    imagine that in all-over chrome, like the cars and helicopters in the Host.

    @Urashiman gREAT PROGRESS SO FAR ON THE REPAIRS!
  11. Thom
    Wow! Extremely interesting! I see some new boxings coming out soon.

    @MechTech I say photo-BOMB all you want!

    Thanks @MechTech! All thanks to the PE! And that PPP comes in real handy, esp when I want a less labor intensive/panel-line damaging solution to a seam.
  14. Thom
    @electric indigo That does look pretty cool! I'd buy it and build just the top half as a straight space ship.

    What does this mean for SNW? I'm guessing they'll be being moved over also?
  16. Thom
    Dude, Perfect Plastic Putty! I squeeze a bit out and apply with a toothpick along the seam or gap, and then wipe with a wet q-tip. Not meant for big gaps obviously, but for wing roots and such it is pretty perfect. And it's water-based, so just add more water to reactivate it.

    And I finally closed up the cockpit on the F-4! Finished painting and PE'ing the seats and set them in place and then closed the canopy down after its bath in Future. I may be able to start painting in a day or so! Thom

    @electric indigo Nice and impressive work on that little kit.
  19. Thom
    Alright, that's looking really good! As to who's punching Lizard in the new trailer, it's probably just a miss-timed effect mean to coincide with the explosion beside him.
  20. Thom
    Rock-on!

    Get loads of that. Blank styrene always comes in handy. There was a plastic supply business right in town where I am, pre Covid, and I could just walk into there and buy a cast off sheet for just a few bucks. They gone now though... Still, whenever I'm at the 'local' hobby store I'm always looking for more Evergreen stuff.

    Coming into a series, they have to grow the character past where he started, as in the games. If he all he is every time is just like a machine with no feelings than that will get tiring pretty fast. I say that after never playing the games or reading the books or watching the previous shows. Most people want to identify with the depth of the character and they want to see him/her grow and expand. Take the Mandalorian. When the first episode aired, he was just a suit of armor following rigidly to a code, but by the end of the last one, he mask was off and you could see that he had grown to be so much more than he had been. A little bit of that is seen in the Kurt Russel movie 'Soldier.' The growth doesn't have to be explosive, and I would prefer it not to be, but a progression of the character evolving.

    I see basic survival as minimal success. But I'll take it!😁

    Everything has the potential to be done right. And equally wrong... Here's hoping for the fore!

    Not a gawed-dammed thing!!
