A very good thought. It ties it in very nicely to the Nolan movies. It would explain why Robin's suit was enshrined, as in the Bats memorializing not just a friend, but also when he let down his guard. In this connection he was not there to help or save Robin. Selina not being there could be explained in that she didn't want to return to that life. In TDKR her character is all about getting a fresh, new start. Going back to Gotham would not be something she would want. Although, I would certainly love for her to make an appearance! -
I'm just guessing, but that must then mean that BvS was the first of the Justice League movies, as in Dawn of... Which then probably should have had more WW. We should always have more WW. Because c'mon.... WW! It's a good bet then, that the Rebirth story line may be in MoS 2, which would allow Superman to then be in the next JL movie. I'm happy for it. Bring it on!

Plastic allows for all possibilities...

I see my corner condo is almost ready. Packing my bags!

Please tell me they're making that AEW!! Please tell me they're making that AEW!! Please tell me they're making that AEW!! Please tell me they're making that AEW!!

Why does only Optimus and a few now dead Autobots even slightly resemble their cartoon counterparts? And will Hot Rod be anything like his namesake!? I ask those questions not really expecting an answer, as it is clear Bay is making these for himself and not for us. One major reason why I am not giving him any more money...

I think that may have been me. I hit the Report button rather than the MultiQuote. but since I cancelled it, I assumed nothing happened with it. My apologies. Although, in 'our' defense it is right next to an often used 'button' and nearly invisible until the cursor gets to it.

Thank you.

Tail 'boom' is in place! I'm dreading the primer coat for all the sins sure to be revealed! And all the blisters! Also finished the wing tips lights. Took a few tries on one where the first went perfect. They are very small and made from clear sprue.

Thanks! Hopefully I won't need that technique!! And there are already plugs in the canopies, so half done there already if I need to! And... work on the fuselage isn't done just yet. Looking at it, I decided that this area need a little somethin... So, back to the old faithful Gundam parts and I found these. Which, after a little cutting and sanding and shaping, will end up like this. It's a little wider than the tail of the plane, but after being blended in, and I think it'll look good.

I'll say it again, if I didn't say it somewhere on here. Gal Gadot is HAWT!!

Star Trek Beyond (the not The Search for Spock)

That was a fun clip, and quite a nice farewell to Anton Yelchin. -
I'll take a condo on the third level.

Thanks, and I'm glad you like it! I'm certainly having fun putting it together. In fact, I had little more fun today, as the diminishing number of parts will attest! I did some work on the chin pod, which was basically sawing it in threes and throwing out the middle section. Now there are two sensor-pack-thingys. The larger one is staying in the original position, and the second is going on the back behind the RIO. The red spru will be the NAV lights that will be under the nose and atop the ECM pod on the tail. Like so... I also put a little device extending down from under the nose as an extra sensor type thing-a-ma-bob. Now I have to do the wing tip lights and the pilots, and then the canopy.. Please don't let me mess up the canopy...

Said on other thread, but Gal Gadot is sooooo hawt!!

Gal Gadot is sooooo damn hawt!! -
I might have this done by then. Time to start squirreling some more funds into Paypal is now! Did some pinning on the current Cat's Eye. This time the canards to give them a little more strength. I also neatened up the join between the tail and the ECM pod. Just a dab of Mr. Dissolved Putty and then a finger wipe to get the excess off. + Then I need to do the nav lights and then hit the canopies. I'll have to be real careful there, otherwise I'll be buying another set from Blap!
-
Yeah, my funds for another one are diminishing as we speak...
-
Nother small update. Filled some unneeded peg holes on the engine nacelles. And set a few pins, one for the ECM, + And a couple for the tripod mount for the radar dish.

Very nice!!

Captain America: Civil War, on Bluray Sept 13, 2016
Thom replied to azrael's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
OMG, so freaking cool! -
Looks like it's time to by another Superbug model...
-
That is looking so great. And I was about to ask, where are all the people! I'd love to see Hikaru and Misa having their fight outside the theatre!
-
Yeah, a big can do! Nose to Tail - Call it a little over at 11 inches. Wing tip to wing tip - Call it a little over at 10 1/2 inches. Belly to radome (which just squeaks a smidgen higher) - Call it a little more than 3 inches. With the radome not seated yet and needing some adjustments, it'll probably sit a tiny bit lower. Hope those help!

Never even heard of the Killing Joke, as I'm just getting into comics and not so much Batman - as yet. Haven't seen it, and hearing reviews I more than likely won't. I can understand them wanting to give Batgirl some backstory, especially if in the novel she doesn't have much.(?) It would certainly help garnering more sympathy for what eventually happens to her. But a sex story line...? With Batman..? Batman..?! A whole half hour would give time for her to triumph over some villain, a serial killer of young women or some sadist, and then at the end of that mini-arc, Batman's like 'yo Batgirl, great job!' It could even have been interspersed as backstory throughout the entire movie, rather than a thirty minute tack-on at the beginning. Then when Joker attacks her, then there's a whiplash of emotion, as she's brought from this tremendous high from Batman's praise and having her own victory over the Darkness, to the Joker just ripping that all away. That would have been so much better! But instead, 'hey, sex!' With Batman. Really!? Sex is really just a tired trope that too many people fall back on when they can't think of anything else. Let pornos use sex as a plot point from now on! If I'm ever interested in seeing it, I'll probably get the novel instead. Or watch the movie - if someone would be so kind as to chop off the first thirty minutes! And maybe that's the way to go. Give us Batman, the Killing Joke - The Ultimate Edition! (Now with thirty less minutes!)
