  2. @pengbuzz You wrapped it up all pretty-like! That base looks great, and I'm glad that it is so stable. @joscasle Wow, that /48 Valk is a large bird. Quite the good canvas for a good paint job.
  3. I enjoyed it. It's based on one of the series of books I am interested in reading. A nice collection of characters, where none of them left me wondering when it was going to get back to the 'good parts' seeing as most of them were good parts. I felt the ending could have been a bit more 'climactic' though.
  4. @peter Ouch! sometimes, they must be retired to Static-Display Status. Rather than a Gate Guard, you can call it a Shelf Guard. As for the B-17, do a Bait-n-Switch. Talk up the 1/32 like you can't live without it, then say you'll 'settle' for the new 1/48 version!
  5. Cockpit going together. Since the canopy is going to be closed, I stayed with the kit instrument panel, but sanded it thinner, drilled out the holes and put the dial decals on a thin sheet of stryene which was then glued to the back.
  6. I think that would look really cool.
  7. @peter Those are some good looking VFs! Loved those posed shots. @pengbuzz Love that last shot! Real nice work. Brought her home in fine fashion!
  8. Aah! A dastardly Klingon Thumb Attack! Quite brazen of them. But you certainly repaired it in fine fashion. Sorry to hear the Hornet was a loss though. I'm doing a Spitfire for a GB, and have messed up three times already on simple things, and have substituted a pair of upper wings and now whole fuselage halves! Sometimes I wonder why I do it, as I rarely feel relaxed from a build. Can't seem to stop though! Don't stay away for long! Dang, nice looking paint!
  9. Ding, ding, ding! But post war. In the same class. Spitfire.
  10. New model on the table!
  11. Nice finish on the 'cat! Feels good to finally get it done right?! And good looking repair on the Refit.
  12. Aw, damn man. There's only one response to that... It's real shame when neighbors choose to be arseholes. Hope it can be smoothed over, and for the model too!
  13. Absolutely outstanding!
  14. While I have plenty of time, but very little mojo...
  15. @Gabe Q that Super Val is looking sharp.
  16. Maybe season will hint that it wasn't natural..? Maybe it could have been done by the alien-tentacle-AIs in order to stop the Romulan's Tal'shiar from their goal.
  17. Though I really liked the Snyder Cut, I think it would have been better without the lead-ins to anything further than the three that he did. Anything having to do with Superman being turned by Darkseid and the Anti-Life Equation, in effect anything having to do with the dark future they showed, should have been shelved. Esp since they (WB) probably won't do anything with it from here on out. Leaving those out would have left us with a nice, buttoned up trilogy, rather than teasing a future series that, more than likely, will not happen. Considering that it is about 6 hours long, it wouldn't be hard to trim the fat a little, and even splice in some of Whedon's version (apocryphal, I know), such as the end scene showing WW coming out of the shadows. A more up-peat ending rather than, again, something that hints to nowhere... I wonder if anyone would do a plice like that..?
  18. Yeah, it was just a Big 'Splosion! Which, really, was descriptive enough, as the reason for that was not essential to the plot. It was merely the kick-off to everything else. As to S3 of Disco, I was so disappointed in that! I came in on S2, with Pike and the Enterprise, with a basically good story line, but they just crapped all over themselves with S3. Such a great mystery, with far-ranging consequences - but such an incredibly stupid resolution.
  19. @Chronocidal Wow, is that ship looking good! Make some swoosh noises for us too! @pengbuzz Looking really nice there, Pengbuzz! Really liking the shading. @Gabe Q Can't wait to see it all fall together! Gonna look nice.
  20. Well, the reason for how fast the super nova in the Romulan system progressed so fast was because of (insert-science-mumbo-jumbo.) Obviously!
  21. The Search for Spock Voyage Home. They were neutralized pretty easily, but there were a number of ships between the Probe and Earth. I don't follow back stories all that much, so I don't know if there was anything mentioned off-screen about other ships effected by the shock wave. Clearly, Excelsior was the 'only ship in the sector.' As to the Romulan super nova, I thought they were aware of the impending disaster and that's why the Federation had time to start building the convoy fleet.
  22. Resin copies. Once cleaned, those pieces could be used as masters, either done by yourself, or maybe someone who works with resin regularly could help, and maybe getting a few free copies as payment.
