  1. It's like peaking into a special FX model shop... I went back to my /350 LCS, the Sybil Ludington, after my /1000 Yamato languished long enough. I put on bridge wings, And am detailing the boat bay. A spritz of gray in the AM showed there was still some cleaning up to be done. So on it goes.
  2. You know, someone with a home computer and a little down time could redo all the CGI at near or at movie quality. That's all I'd need. New special effects. Keep the movie, update the effects and we're golden!
  3. That body and hair is Misa Hayase, but that face is Min-Mai...
  4. The Last Starfighter is an icon of my youth!! Scraping into my early forties now and that movie is still one I would watch in a light second! Yes, the plot is thin, but the movie was fun and exciting. And although the special effects are too well dated by now, they were cutting edge at the time. The Last Starfighter was the first movie to rely solely on computer graphics for all its space scenes. I would love to have someone redo all the effects shots and splice them into the original movie. 'Twould be the most awesome!!
  5. I liked the first one and would love to see another! If if it is only as good as the first, then I will be very happy!
  6. Great work! Love that ship and you've done it justice.
  7. A little closer to completion...
  8. I'd say you should receive One Smash Allowance, just for the awesomeness of those models! Great work. And yes, 'please, sir, may I have some more..?'
  9. The Skull decal on the back was scanned into the computer, then reprinted onto decal paper in gray scale. The eye is recolored with a dab of yellow paint.
  10. Okay, this one is on the way to completion! I will not stop until it is DUN. It will not see the inside of a box until it is finished!
  11. Not knowing much about this, other than Britai's ship being renamed SDF-3 seems logical seeing how so few ships were left after the war, could it be possible that the labelling of SDF-003 is just telling that Britai's ship is accompanying the Megaroad 001 and not just another designator for the colony ship?
  12. Aw, c'mon, he was just a kid at the time. At least he got on the ball eventually and just let Misa take over! Mmmm, Misa.... She is the only one!
  13. The dreaded Pinapple Assault will soon breach those walls, and then you'll have to deal with Elsa personally. You saw how she dealt with those guards, right? Right!? Not a good movie... Rot in the Pit o' Shame!
  14. I haven't been a fan of the series from the first movie with Heston. But I would think this would dove-tail direectly into the original with no problem at all. There's no reasom to remake it. None at all. The only tech that shows is at the beginning and in the cave, and all are generic enough examples to not stand out in a TOS Star Trek kind of way. I haven't seen this one and I probably won't until I catch portions of it on TV, but I would guess that they could do one more before the 'next' movie is Heston's original one.
  15. Which just shows how politics are subjective to each person. I didn't think too much about the politic crap, which thankfully was extremely little. But looking back, I identify the anti-tech as Conservative and the pro-tech reach for the stars as the Liberal angle. Just goes to show that labeling one thing to a whole group of people is never a good thing.
  16. Yes, you're just a regular perv. Don't worry about it...
  17. One thing to keep in mind, in that the movie-verse of the franchise, it is humans 'monkeying' with the dino-DNA. These are not exact replicas of the extint species, but hybridized creations (bastardizations) that will look similar to the original, but will not be the original. In that context I can overlook the problem of original size, whether being too big or too small. This is also all done at the behest of a company (INGEN) wanting monster profits. So it is believable that they would have 'chosen' the star of their show and named it what they wanted. The Velociraptor. And the bigger the monster, then the bigger the profits - hence the super huge dinoshark eating the little modern shark. Ancillary dinos, those being herbovores (leaf-eaters) would most likely be left alone, seeing as the meatosaurasus are the stars and need to be baddified to the extreme, and need innocent victims (leaf-eaters) to hunt and dine upon.
  18. Yes, not much she can do when her daughter runs off and she's not around to protect her. And just so we know, that's the last EP thet I ever fully watched.
  19. I don't really watch the show, but if I did, I'm sure I would see Carol kick your bells up around your ears and then garrot you with your own tongue for that statement. And she's pretty in her way.
  20. I only wish Mr. Larson had been able to see it...
