    Is Leto in Kraven?

    Lots of cool models on the table there @sketchley! I would love to do a YF-24 in 1/72. Nice looking mods tot he Macross @nonner242.

    First, I laid down some tape to keep from prematurely gluing it to the hull. Then I started roughing out individual panels on thin cardboard before transferring those shapes to blank styrene. Still a little rough, but once I start sanding it'll smooth out. Before that though, I need to do the rear shroud. Thom

    Mine was that Deadpool is fun, and that easily overcomes fatigue. Kraven just looks like a retread of all the superhero-tropes, whereas Deadpool literally breaks all the walls along a wild ride that breaks expectations.

    Me neither. No interest in Joker/Panguin, et al, unless they are being chased by the Bat. . Yeah, but that's Deadpool and this is... Kraven... A guy who gets bit by a tiger and gains super powers, like Spiderman, just not as cool... And, of course, there is another superpowered enemy for him to fight, this time Rhinoman! (I guess that's his name, I don't know.) Heck, even if this was another Spiderman movie, I wouldn't really be all that tempted anymore. Yes, you can tell the same basic story a hundred different way, but pumping them all out within a few years was, though fun, a bit excessive. I can see doing a trilogy of movies and then relaxing for a few years to let the audience recuperate, but, esp with comics, there are so many character tie-ins, and the urge to hit while the iron is hot and while the casts still look young enough to fit the roles (and the costumes,) that that momentum drives it more. And money. Grab the money while the people are spending. If they were smart they would do it in 'spurts.' Make two or three movies and then let it rest, rather than the cash-grab of the last few decdes.

    Cool, Kick-Ass 3, finally!!
  7. Thom
    I know most would as well, but I wouldn't use Tamiya panel line without a good, solid clear coat under it. That being said, Flory's is great stuff!

    She also played Lyra Silvertongue on Max's 'His Dark Materials' series. And very well at that, IMO.

    Glad to see it, but I hope the next trailer has a bit more 'energy.'
  10. Thom
    That's great!!

    The characters have to start from someplace, and being a kid show, the 'suburbs' (basically any area around the outskirts of a city and we know those exist in the SW Universe) is a nice and safe looking place to start. It's another thing like the Goonies, where we start in a peaceful town before tossing the kids on a dangerous adventure, or ET, or even Poltergeist, though in that they didn't have to go anywhere for things to get freaky.

    Looks good. A live action remake of a cartoon original should try to emulate it's look and feel rather than try and be too different. Looking at you Mulan...
  13. Thom
    Prodigy was a good show, so if they can do this at the same level, I'll be happy. As to the 'suburbs', why wouldn't there be some on some planet in the vast universe? As said above, we've seen the real ugly parts, now let's see the parts that are symbolic of everyday Republic-life. I got no problem with it. And as to this being a 'kid show,' really, so was ET. Not to say that I'm expecting ET, but it would be nice.
  14. Thom
    Haven't seen the trailer yet, but is this is a mix of Star Wars and Goonies - then AWESOME!!!
  15. Thom
    Cant' watch the trailer at work, but the images look real good. As long as it holds to the original, I'm in!
  16. Thom
    TS4 was the perfect ending. I loved it. And doesn't Allen not want to do these anymore..?
  17. Thom
    Good deal with the Reliant. Glad it is still coming along!
  18. Thom
    You know, between AI created 'art' and actual art made by real people, I'll choose the art made by real people., I think a lot of people would to.
  19. Thom
    Back to this, and I used some scotch tape to trace out the curved opening in the hull. And transferred that to another couple pieces of blank styrene. Which were then glued up to the new part. After that, I started skinning, You can see that the pieces I had just glued onto it were already damaged. What happens when you realize you have to change something - and you used CA to strengthen the now superfluous part.😪 No problem though, as that will be covered up. And some test fits to see how it is going. I think I can fit some shuttle bay doors into the back there. And using Gundam paints to check the shaped/sanded edges. With that done, I can start adding and shaping the shrouds to either end. Thom

    @pengbuzz that is some real nice work!
  21. Thom
    Isn't the only difference the lower silver color? If so, a little repaint of KITT gets you KARR.
  22. Thom
    Good to hear you are doing better @pengbuzz.
  23. Thom
    Don't forget, this comes out in a month.😉

    You still have malls!? I kid, but our malls are just as hard-up as theaters. The major ones in my area are half vacant. Though, I will say that I still love the movie experience enough to keep going, esp since I go at matinee hours. A little more than $20 for a movie incl small soda and popcorn.
  25. Thom
    @nonner242 That is a vast improvement! As an alternative to selling off the other ones, could you bash one into the ASS-1 gunship version?
