    The tonal variations and changes between Whedon's Travesty and the Snyder Style are readly apparent. But still, it is something not even done yet. I'm hopeful we'll see an improvement in all areas compared to what we got initially, but heck, even if all we get is better CG for Superman's lip, that would be a great improvement!

    Actually, that reminds me of Xena. Lucy Lawless was injured during a horse stunt and couldn't do almost an entire season. They ended up 'transferring' her spirit into one of her main enemies, Callisto. It actually worked out pretty good, as the actress was great as both the insane baddie and the heroic Xena.

    Pengbuzz that is awesome. It is bringing back some hazy, childhood memories! Lovely job on that Valk! Love that shape.

    Could be pay, or maybe the rough schedule coupled with the injury. At the time she was having trouble feeling her arms and there was the possibility of facial paralysis, and I wouldn't be surprised if anyone got a little shy about all the stunts if that could happen again.

    Shocked when I heard that. I was liking her in the role and IMO the show was getting better compared to the premier. Currently, I think it is one of the better put-together CW shows. I usually have less 'what the?' when the credits start to role. A fellow poster on SuperHeroHype suggested that Rachel Skarsten take over the starring role, playing both Rose and Alice as the actual twins they were in the comic. But, the production team is once more pushing for another LGBT actress, so probably no. Shame because I think she could do it. Be interesting to see where they go from here and how much is changed when they get the new lead. I would hope they would change Gotham to a grittier look, something similar to how the Titans portrayed the city. They should also get her the Batmobile, a slightly better costume, play the theme music on something other than a synthesizer - and maybe get rid of Sophie...

    Hope Bo don't die!

    Some great work on that Super B! I just ordered the Revell version, and would hope to do half as good as what I am seeing here!

    @Dobber Some great looking B-Wings. Esp love the orange one!

    I love your spit-balling there, as that - unfortunately - shows more thought in a few minutes than they did during all the months of preproduction. Planning, planning and planning... As in not enough of it. I liked the movies, at least TFA and TRoS, but it is only like and not love. Seeing TRoS after TLJ is like looking at two different movie arcs, showing just how far one director went opposite the other. Though I like TRoS more, I think it would have been better if JJ had not resurrected the Emperor, which feels like a desperate grab at a fraying thread, and built upon TLJ while going back to the 'magic boxes' he left in TFA. The only real way of bringing Palpy back would be to have TLJ actually having shown he was on the rise again, rather then blurbing it in the opening crawl of TRoS. They should have dropped Palpatine entirely rather then tying to cram two movies worth into the final of the trilogy. Which means that they should have planned a full arc from the start. Instead, they almost treated it like it was an anthology. A little too late to change anything now though. All is done.

    Here's a hint. Two are grabbers, and one is a scooper... I'll be in for another go with John Spartan! I don't know if I'd call it a 'guilty' pleasure or not, but the first was a fun ride.

    Wow, I like that poster!

    What I am most interested in! I loved the animated movie from my childhood, but I am more into 'live' action and love where Bumblebee left off, with him and Optimus driving away across the bridge.

    That is very cool!

    Some of those vids are so 'old' they've already been on Ancient Aliens.

    Try decacking the tape before applying. Press it against your palm or a glass surface to get rid of some of the adhesion. As for airbrushing supplies, a cheap airbrush can be had for about $15 on eBay, and if a compressor is too costly, you can use compressed air cans for propellant.

    Wow, that is a great looking 'cat. Great job! After building the Academy F/A-18F I'm definitely going to get their Tomcat. Eventually. Nice progress on the Super B! Making me want to get another one. I try to avoid freehand at any cost! I couldn't paint a straight line with a ruler. Unless the entire thing is being painted one color, the handy Tamiya masking tape comes out in force.

    I remember watching TPM the first time and thinking 'what was everyone's problem with Jar-Jar?' Then it was on TV the other night just as Qui-Gon was running through the woods with Jar-Jar clinging to him like a bug on a windshield... God that movie is awful... For me, it's one of those best viewed once movies, and really shows how lucky we were that Lucas had such a good supports staff while making ANH. I'd watch the TFA trilogy far more than the prequels.
  18. Thom
    I'm not a big fan of prequels, pretty much because I already know where the characters and story are ultimately going. That being said, between Cassian and Kenobi, I'd rather watch Kenobi. Cassian is far more of a one movie character, whereas Old Ben has the whole mythos and history behind him that is going back four decades.

    Wonder if the poem is where they also got the name for the ship..?

    How's the pold Zentran fleet coming along?

    Real nice progress you got! I had dropped the slats and flaps on the 1/72 Academy Super Bug. Turned one part into ten and then had to put them all back together again. Sure feels nice getting some construction done, doesn't it? Looking good! Though I have to agree, those hips joints have been the weakest part of the whole design. I remember doing the old Bandai where you had to change out the entire nose cone for Battloid mode. Still got some parts left from that one...

    @derex3592 Very nice recovery! And a lovely looking VF-4 @Bolt

    Laughs! I didn't know it was a fantrailer until Yoda finally showed up!
  24. Thom
    @wm cheng Despite the trials she's coming together nicely. The last F-18F I put together was Academy's 1/72. Push fit, but still a good looking result with a little work. @derex3592 Ouch, quite the peel! At least it was before decals. As for the bench, really nice!
