Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, in theaters Dec. 16, 2016
Thom replied to Dobber's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I can't wait for Rogue Two to come out! -
-
Wow, that was awesome!! And I just hope I was that guy!!
-
It looks like there are slight differences. At least from the OG model. The Number 1 turret is sitting back into a cut-out, and it looks like the main gun apertures are angled from top to bottom.

Farewell fair Princess. You are one with the Force, the Force is with You...

Merry Christmas everyone!!

Loved it! Got off work early and went right to the theatre! One of the best Star Wars movies. Won't knock TFA. Loved it despite its flaws. Great movie! -
Which models are these two gray beauties..?
-
That's a shame, as voice actors can be just as recognizable as someone whose face is on the screen. Quite distinctive, especially with a major character. Hope she stays with it, But if not, Lovato is very recognizable for the main song.
-
That does look pretty cool. But what I really want is someone to come out with Melda's fighter in 1/72!!

It's an anime. They can do whatever they want from having no ships except Yamato, to having a fleet two years later or having the Andromeda being built while Yamato was underway the first time... I'm more interested in knowing whether the old Bandai Andromeda is close enough to scale to the newer /1000 ships. Considering that I lengthened the Nike I think they might fit quite nicely. Though it is a bit wide and deep... The smaller ships work good too, but the old Borodino model looks way undersized, more a cruiser size itself.
-
It's also highly possible that Andromeda was under construction even before Yamato left Earth. Having Yamato as the test bed for the tech and seeing how everything worked together before launch, I wouldn't be surprised if they'd pushed ahead despite any risk. And then seeing how well her shock cannon and main gun worked against previously impervious Garmilas ships, would spur them on even harder to get the Andromeda afloat. So it could be three years instead of two, and who knows, Andromeda may have welcomed Yamato home. As to the question of scale, here are my three Space Battleship Yamato ships, the fleet flagship Nike, the Yamato herself and the previous light cruiser Interceptor, now termed as a full fledged cruiser. Now keep in mind, the Bandai Andromeda model has been lengthened by an inch and a half, so the stock model is actually shorter than shown here, as well as having a number of extra additions. If they have increased the ships size for the new series, then the old Bandai kit may now be almost 'in-scale' with the newer 1/1000 kits. Ironic in that, upon hearing they'll be a new Andromeda model, that I sold off the four unbuilt kits that I had, figuring they would now be too large... And whether the old /700 models would be able to fit in with the /1000 ships isn't even a question for me! The last two especially look like they'll fit right in as cruiser and battlecruiser types.

Looks like it's being used as some type of scanner.
-
I'm glad that they're keeping with the original look. It should be awesome to see. But if they made her larger, like they made Yamato larger than the original series counterparts, would Bandai's older 1/700 scale kits now be 'in-scale' in comparison?
-
It just seamed to be an odd, archaic notion for a show set in the far future with a lot of the equalities mentioned, with of course the mores of the time being the main reason.
-
Nice to see him going beyond Star Wars. I still may not watch this one as I never watched the first one, but good for him!
-
I could see her in the role of captain or doctor. I think the last ep of TOS, where they state that women were not starship captains, should be ignored and the example set by Star Trek Enterprise with Captain Erika Hernandez should be adhered to.
-
That looks like a lot of fun!
-
No reason not to. As long as they give us Incredibles 2 as well... Yes, grim beginning to the trailer. Also noted the more 'real' looking effects rather than full cartoonish.
-
Wow, nice handful!
-
I believe that was me. My apologies...

I prefer to think of it as him seeing where you went wrong, and simply - kindly - correcting your error. You must thank him with cookies.

Those Zentradi command ships look awesome! I was always disappointed with the plastic model kit of it and even thought about kit-bashing to try and fix it. I'd think about getting one like those, but those are pricey! Currently progressing on my bench.
