  1. I'll be watching it again, because I did enjoy it despite some choices made that I don't agree with. It was good, and I want to experience it again at least once more on the big screen. It's also a chance to review scenes, to see them again and catch what I missed the first time. While I'll agree that a movie should be understood with one viewing, without the need to find explanations to fit disparate points together, really good movies benefit from having those varied elements that could be missed the first time, while we were experiencesing all the others.
  2. Hey, congrats! Best of luck with the marriage, and the modelling! Hope it works out. That will be cool to see in operation.
  3. Some great work on that! And brush painted..?! Wow.
  4. All down to taste. I think the prequels are meh of every order, while TFA and TLJ are really carrying on the torch set alight in ANH. Well, maybe not every order... The ship designs in the prequels are a lot better then the ones post TRoTJ.
  5. I will be seeing this again, because it is a good movie. A little slow to the start, but once it picked up speed, I was with it all the way. Overall, what I was left with, was a desire to see Episode 9 as soon as possible!!
  6. Nice Dreadnought, and that Andromecadia is a trip!
  7. Was kinda hoping it would be live action. That would rock! Still, I'll take a peak when it's out.
  8. Oh, this one, definitely!! I never liked the 'top hat' design, as it looks so ungainly and out of balance. Plus, I wouldn't call it a dedicated carrier, and thus loses out as obvious trade-off would have to be made between the battleship and carrier missions. I can see it done, as a way to separate it for some reason from the main hull, and as a way to normalize construction between the super battleships and the carrier variants, but it's just so unattractive to me. But this one... I've had thoughts of doing only a Borodino as carrier, but now I may have to make future plans for an Andromeda, just from that alone.
  9. They've thrown in a volcano. I liked Jurassic World. It rates number 2 in the series for me, so I'll be going to watch this one. Chris Pratt is cool and Bryce Dallas Howard is just smokin'!!
  10. Looks fantastic. That final tease at the end was great! Oh, how I wish DC would start taking notes, and not settle for being a one-hit Wonder...
  11. A later release is okay, rather than have this and the Airfix 1/48 Sea Fury, pop out around the same time. A little space gives my wallet some breathing room!
  12. I liked JL. It was good, but not great, or epic, as WW was. Seeing it though, and wondering what Whedon is going to do with Batgirl, I am now worried for Batgirl...
  13. Is that from Robot Jox?
  14. Real nice work Pengbuzz!
  15. Wow, that is disappointing. On the plus side, it may be cheaper for the cheaper body used, and you could spend a little on a phicen body (or equivalent) to try and replace it.
  16. A good movie. Not as great as it could have been, but not bad. I will see it again, and sit through to the end credits, because apparently there are two tacked on scenes. I only caught the first. It seemed a bit slow and choppy for the first half, and then it picked up for me. And yes, a bit rushed. This deserved another half hour at least, to let scenes 'breath,' to flesh out the villain and to wrap things up at the end. I'm really hoping that like BvS, we'll get an extended cut, as apparently the scenes that hit the floor instead of the real, tied things together better. As to our stars, they were all pretty good, in order of Gadot, Affleck and Momoa, followed by Miller and Fisher. I really liked Diana and Bruce's scenes best, but that's probably cause I really like Gadot as WW. Compared to Wonder Woman, I feel that movie was put together far better, from beginning to end. Again, JL was a bit choppy and abrupt. It's still good, but WW was great, and I would definitely rewatch Wonder Woman over JL if having to make a choice. Last thing, they screwed up when they fired JunkyXL! Except for the WW riff and themes reminiscent of '89 Batman, the soundtrack was pretty generic. In WW, the soundtrack was as much a part of the movie as the characters and helped to lead you through it. Here, not so much. I think Elfman phoned it in...
  17. Wow, great looking ship! Jean came out real nice. Now onto Nadia!!
  18. Oh, that's lovely right there! Love the shade of that red. Thanks! Now, I'm doing a lot of sanding. The bomb bay doors were a pretty poor fit, so that needed filler down the middle, and will need more scribing there. A lot of sanding has happened since...
  19. Cockpit done, Back to the fuselage.
  20. Very nice Jean!
  21. Enjoyed it all the way! Just wish they had drawn the humor down a notch, as it overshadowed the dramatic moments somewhat. Also, I'm wondering,
  22. That diorama of Macross Island is going to be soo cool! And I love those VF display cases! Just as you intended, the fighters look they are caught mid-flight!
  23. Binged it a few days ago. Loved it! There was not one moment of boredom anywhere, and yes, being the only ones in costume was funny. I like Max and think she is a great edition to the D&D Team.
