'If you see only one movie this summer, see Star Wars!' I remember that. It's now a classic. -
Here's another image. The proportions are not correct, but there's something more mature about the look.

Awesom shot at 4 min 47 sec!! What a beautiful beast. Why don't they make planes looking like this anymore..?

Overall I'm not a Purist for design. If it's close enough, then I'm fine. There's some work to be done to fix some fidly bits, but that's okay by me. But what I am seeing is another problem, and that's with the Prometheus, and the probably the Daedalus, mounting arms and how they are articulated. For the DYRL version, it looks flimsy to me the way the ARMD ships are attached to the shoulders with curving arms. I like the TV version mainly because the arms go straight back from the shoulders to the sterns of the ship. From looking at the first pic in Firesped's WIP post, it's clear they went with the DYRL mounting option. That makes the third thing that I'm going to have to try and change when I finally get mine from the mailman. Definitely going to have to shave some plastic - as well as build some up to make the clearances needed for a straight arm support...

I always thought that was a neat touch. Very real world for a cartoon back in the day. Ahum, anime...

...Stonewell SC-27 Star Goose? It was the shuttle that took Misa back to Earth. And the one she was in when Hikaru first flies the Booby Duck to her rescue. Awesome scene... http://macross2.net/m3/sdfmacross/stargoose.htm http://macross2.net/m3/sdfmacross/stargoose/stargoose-lineart.gif

I like that long nose on it. Just seeing Revell's snubby-nosed Level 1 kit shows what the alternative is. The wing split doesn't bother me too much. I would like larger exhausts on it though, especially to counter the huge cowls. Perhaps a variant is in order, mixing the T-65 exhausts with the T-70 cowls... Overall, definitely a sleeker, worthy successor to the Rebellion's tried and true war-horse!

Impressive stuff!

Is he at least called Gerald for short..?
-
I don't watch the show, but a good way to fool the TV viewers into thinking he was dead, would be to have him on all the shows saying that yes he is dead. Maybe he wouldn't even have to know that they were bringing him back. But by not having him on, they are leaving it ambiguous, and open. Here's hoping he shows up suddenly, saving the day once again!

It looks like the angle problem starts just behind the ammo box. The rear of the fuselage looks upswept just slightly too high. If you cut it there and put in a plastic wedge filler, you could probably bring the whole tail down to where it's supposed to be.

I remember seeing a delta winged F-22 several years ago. I think it was in Popular Mechanics, not too sure at the moment. But they did speculate about a delta winged FB-22. Big bomb payload, no vertical stabilizers, broad delta wings... Close to this,

Nice C3PO! Now make him move and talk!
-
I can accept it... I do intend to make some changes whenever I do build mine however...
-
One of the most memorable. Another two are the ghost train and the one with John Lithgow, playing a lonely bachelor who finds a doll that leads him to his love. Who has a doll of him. Cute.
-
Great work on that Rafale Love the winglets!
-
Mine is in the mail. Kinda disappointed that the DYRL parts are not still in it, but I'll be happy when it gets here. What would be great is if Hasegawa would simply include the TV version sprues in their DYRL kit. That way people could buy the one and build it either way...
-
Those were pretty cool! Now I hope the movies good for their sakes!!
-
Female Disney characters drawn to real life movie actresses..
Thom replied to spanner's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Very well done. They should do them like that. -
I think it's when using a slightly lighter shade of the main color and airbushing panel centers as opposed - or in conjunction with - darkening the panel lines. I think.
-
No, it's the 1/48 Tamiya kit. I will say when I do another with the wings down, I'll put the inner and outer wing sections together before gluing the tops and bottoms together. It was a hassle getting the fold seam even. In that I wasn't as successful as I had wanted to be...

Honest Trailers NEVER disappoints!! That being said, I thought the movie was pretty good. I'll be adding it to the shelf. It was entertaining, and that's all I look for in a M.O.V.I.E.
-
Here she is just before first primer. Had to do a little sanding afterward, but that's just par for the course. You can also see my first attempt at the wingtip lights.
-
I'll be doing some preshading on a 1/48 F-4U-D1 soon. Hope it turns out good. Also the first build where I'm using a gravity feed airbrush. Why did I wait so long..?

With the white vest. Gotta have the white vest! It is a really good movie, as in a drama set in space rather than just sci fi serving as the frame work for a script. It'll will be the third in my Triumvirate of recent Sci Fi Gold that will sit on my DVD shelf. Gravity. Interstellar, and now The Martian.
