    Is this the Itano Circus variant?

    And here I am considering preordering another one!! But I'll wait. I'll wait to see what's on the trees. If the TV-version conversion parts are added in to the full Movie-version kit, then I'll pop for a second. What I want most are some extra parts in the hopes of bashing together a third version.

    Would that constitute the first ever use of a track ball? Would that mean that Macross was bustin' new ground way back in the day..? Would this mean that Macross was waaay ahead of it's time..? YES, I think so!

    I don't know... Why would any Star Wars ship need a launch rail?

    I don't know where to look first!

    I can understand people being bummed and upset. Imagine if the 1/350 Yorktown was simply relabeled as the CV-6 Enterprise, with 'correction' parts? If we're told a TV version is coming out, it's expected that an as true to version as possible is what's sold. With this kit, there are enough differences in that only a hybrid is created. Which is Hasegawa playing fast and cheap with their customers, which is not a good thing for a company to do. And let's be honest, not every modeler has a kit-basher or scratch builder in them. Some people don't want to cut and carve and sand entirely new pieces. They just want to snip, sand and glue and then paint it and put it on a shelf. Myself, I'm perfectly fine with some extra work to clean it up, but then that's me...

    I wonder... What if, in protest over Disney's high prices on the kits, no one goes to see the new movie for the first week it is out? Would they get the message?

    If there is a 'best one,' it's the first one - if only because there was till some promise of improvement.

    My 'new' SDF-1s!

    Thom posted a topic in Model kits

    Won this kit on eBay the other day. It's the 1/5000 scale kit. I had one as a kid, and I still have the remains of it knocking boots around somewhere. Which is good, as I will need some parts from it to finish one of these. And I say one of these, because there are TWO in the kit!! I noticed in the pics that there were two hull pieces and almost double of everything else laid out. So that means I paid a little more than $20 each! Awesome. I'm thinking about making them into either Supervision gunboats, an ASS-1, or just smaller SDFs to escort the bigger Hasegawa ships. You know, I wasn't looking to build a UN Spacy Fleet, but I guess it's happening!

    What's the point of that..?

    There is ALWAYS a bright side!!

    Man, nice work on that VF!! The win was well deserved!
  15. Thom
    And we can make 'other' SDFs! They don't all look exactly the same, so the minor differences could mean making multiple UN Spacy ships to fill out that Super Long Distance Colony Fleet.

    However that leads us to the Advanced Super Hornet program... https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/navy-pleased-with-quotadvancedquot-super-hornet-tests-wants-more-397927/ Have to say that I love the Hornet. (Second to the old Tomcat) And I hope they're able to keep it around for along while to come!

    Don't care. Looks good. Can fix. Can't wait!
  18. Thom
    I may have to buy another DYRL version, just to give this one a pair of worthy companions!
  19. Thom
    Those bases look great - and intricate! And no, not scratch built. It's the Moebius kit. I just made it shorter, narrowed the head and am putting armor and shuttle bays onto the sides.
  20. Thom
    Just means a little fittling work. I think we're up to it!

    Despite the fact that I never seem to finish much, here's another build on the table... The Colonial Battleship Zeus. The backbone of the Colonial Fleet at the outbreak of the Cylon War, they stood against the relentless tide of Cylon ships until the Raiders appeared in heavy numbers. Without fighter protection of their own, the Atlas class battleships suffered greatly - until the refit. Later ships than the Zeus had their hulls lengthened and flight bays fitted to either side, creating what would be the epitome of Colonial fleet technology for decades to come - the battlestar... So, here's the WIP of the father of the battlestar.

    Wow, nice work on the lights!
  23. Thom
    NO!! Not in the least. No way and no how! I do not protest too much!! This horse is dead. Now we must stop it from becoming a zombie horse!
  24. Thom
    Thanks, I'm used to other boards that don't have that option.
  25. Thom
    So, apparently you get to say what you want, and then snipe at people who respond to it as being overly 'irked...' You do realize that this is a public board where people will respond to what you say..? In any case, my position is the idea that a show that is only two episodes in is somehow being racist by killing and zombifying more black characters than white is totally pointless. I will redirect you to my first post that you've decided to take a personal interest in, It is waste of time, so yes, let's get back to our regularly scheduled program...
