  1. SPOILAGE!! Pretty much most of what I was having trouble with too. Plus, the Captain leaving the ship in an extended time of crisis? Much less putting his own life on the line in order to restart the ship..? What was he doing in the engine room anyway..? He has a crew to oversee these things while he commands all from the Big Chair. As for them choosing a destroyer and not a carrier, I can see that as our carriers are pretty much followed wherever they go. If they want secrecy to safeguard the hunt for the vaccine the best thing is a small operation that can hide within an extended weapons test mission. Plus, the Doctor stated that their mission - at first - had low priority. They wouldn't be tossing a carrier task group around the globe on what - at the time - was a simple scare. Of course, after the Government discovers how bad the situation really is it is then far too late. If eighty percent of the population is already infected and dying then more than likely most of the military is within that eighty percent, especially onsidering all the travel they do anyway. The best thing they could do would be to find as many Navy ships as possible - before they founder - and stockpile as much hardware as possible at a hidden location. They're going to run out of missiles and bullets and shells real quick, especially if any warlord with a ship or plane is going to try to fight them for the cure. And is it just me - or does anyone else feel a mutiny coming on..?
  2. If it had a different director, I might go to see it in the theatre. But I have no confidence that Bay has progressed passed the happy platue that he has reached in his previouse films, Pearl Harbor, Transformers 1 and 2 and 3... All aspire to too much grandoise machismo to cover up plot lines and scripts that are pretty much crap... And I've stopped hoping that it will get any better with the next sorry attempt to keep his ego boosted. But hey, maybe this will be better than before. Perhaps in a week or two I might go to see it in the theatre if I hear that it is better than the schlock that has come before. Or I'll just go see Maleficent again... Damn, Jolie is hot with horns...
  3. Watched it as well. Thought it was pretty good. There were some things that had me shaking my head a little, but hey it's TV... I'll keep watching until the B.S Factor gets too much to brush aside. Thom
  4. Any builds planned yet..? I just got mine too, but it will be sitting on the To Do Shelf for a while yet. Just FYI, here's what I hope to be putting onto the dome...
  5. Although I did like Snow White and the Huntsman I think Maleficent does a lot better. And a lot of that would have to be because of Angelina Jolie. Kristen Stewart is good, but she doesn't have that presence. I also feel there is a lot more emotional fulfiment from Maleficent, especially in their endings. Snow White just seemed to peter out after the climactic battle, of which Maleficent just does better there also. And rather than just a fight between good and evil, it was more a fight of being good or evil. Maleficent is a story of redemption that just has more comlexity. Plus I just enjoyed it more, It actually seems to get better with each time I see it, which is unusual for a movie. Put it this way, since Snow White and the Hunstman came out in 2012 I've watched it twice. Since Maleficent came out on Friday, I've watched it three times... In one week...
  6. She is greatly suited to the role! I watched it again today and I liked it even better than the first time! I think disney is using sublminial messages again... I went to an early show so there weren't a lot of people, but there were several young girls present, and I thought it was great when one of them cheered near the end. Those who've seen it could probably imagine when it was called for. Great performance from Jolie and a great story, awesome cinematography and a great soundtrack... I can't wait for this to come out on Blu-Ray!
  7. That's why I don't listen to reviews. Most often they don't like what I like. I'm going to see it again.
  8. I thought it was pretty good. Not great, unfortuneately, but real good. A little too short time-wise with some themes drawn too long and others a little too short. Still, I'll buy it on Blue-ray and watch it again.
  9. A couple of Garmllas ships. I wanted to take a quick break from kitbashing my Battlestar Pegasus, and these proved to be a coupl eof quick and easy little builds. Kudos to Bandai, for these just fell together and they're modular construction hides almost all the seams! Sweet. and a peak at the Titan class Battlestar Pegasus... It's mocked together.
  10. Real nice job! It looks great.
  11. For anyone who has the 1/1000 scale ships, can you give a measurement of their hull lengths? I want to know how big (or small) these are. I did order the 1/1000 Yamato with hopes of 'upsizing' it to as close to 1/700 scale as I can. Like on here - http://www.geocities.jp/dourakuoyadi/newpage1000yamato.htm I want it to fit in as close as possible to my older Bandai 1/700 ships, EDF Nike (at 18 inches long) and EDF Interceptor
  12. Thanks Chyll2, That's looking really nice.
  13. Yes, nice! MOre pics!

    Have seen it before, but always nice to see it again. Bookmarked!
  15. Lovely work on a sleek pair of beautiful fighters! You do them justice!
  16. They'll clear it up in later trailers, but it has to do with discovering wormholes and using them to begin to explore the galaxy. Or that's what this says anyway... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0816692/
  17. Beautifully done! She's a real little stunner. Not so sure about the rear planes, but that's just me. Nice work! Thom
  18. I haven't received mine yet, but from the looks of it, if you've done modern aircraft models, then it should be just the same as that.
  19. Ipressive amount of work. That Iperial Star Destroyer is looking awesome! And yes, Engrish is wonderful...
