    ...he is Kang... Legit.

    Just living up to the adage, a woman in every port...

    Is he reading right to left?

    That's one thing I wish they'd shown, more close-in rather than the distance shots. I can only imagine that there were other ships, civilian as well, that could have gotten caught in the cross fire. Plus, I think that last shot was just a 'beauty' shot of the two ships, ala Undiscovered Country.

    The debris had to come from somewhere and that was the only battle that took place with the only ships that took part. Sure a lot would be from orbital defense systems and even bits from Space Dock, but since SD was also returning fire, then the assimilated fleet was also taking hits and shedding parts.

    Yeah, it's easy to hold one person responsible for Wolf 359 (disregarding that he was under another's control) but much harder when it was most of Star Fleet who were used this time.
  8. Thom
    Very true. It's not like a faction of Star Fleet broke away and tried to take over, they were just used as tools.

    Spacedock itself. It was putting up quite a bit of a fight.

    Keaton most certainly is - Batman! And if they do the story well, with good writing and acting, then a repetitive story is fine. Most books and movies we have have all been done before in one way or another. It's all in how they pull it off that makes or breaks it.

    Haven't! They are hidden somewhere in the dim recesses of my cobwebbed-memory, either buried in a far and silent corner of the world - or having been sold off years ago because I didn't think I would build them. Doh!

    Let's get nuts! Love it!

    Sweet! Of course it might be the last season I watch depending on how Helmsworth fits in.

    Bought one of those sets as well, though now I need to find either one of my Big D models - if I haven't forgotten about selling them off at some point... Also bought one for the E-E, for when I ever get to that one. I'd recommend caution though with them. Use a small decal as a test to see if it needs any 'special' treatment.

    Man on Fire reunion! Nice seeing another one. He's real good in the role.
  16. Thom
    Love this shot!
  17. Thom
    Very nice! And of course it has to have Shaw on it!

    I wish things were going much better for you Peng, but hang in there. PM sent. Thom

    Nice touch up work. (I see you even got some Zentradi's feet in the last picture. Real nice of him to hold you up above the plane to take that top pic!) Now hurry up and get that Honey-Do List done!
  20. Thom
    Peng you do great work, even with limited resources and problems. I'd say that you overcome quite a lot in spectacular fashion and I walays love to see your kits going together. And as to 'real' modelers, you build more than I do! If you are not a real modeler than I don't know what is. As to the Big D, take time if you need to, and I'd say don't worry anymore about the aztecing. Maybe give some pre-shading or just go straight to the main color and finish her up. You can make her look good no matter what! Plus, you can always do a refurb later when ability/money/time allows. Thom

    Sorry to hear that! Do yourself a favor, don't throw it out and don't get rid of it. I don't know how your computer system is for printing, but there is a page on Starship Modeler that has aztec images for the D that you can save and print onto decal paper. About half way down. https://www.starshipmodeler.com/tech/cz_mask.htm You'd probably have to size them right, but if you can print them onto deal paper, that could be a way to go.
  22. Thom
    Anyone else notice the Big-D still had the scarring on the front arc of the saucer?
  23. Thom
    I forget which modeler it was, here or on another site, who pedicelled in all the aztec on his Star Trek ship. It looked really good too. Barring that, if you have time, masking tape, an exacto blade and plenty of patience...😉

    @wm cheng All those gaps are meant to be there!
  25. Thom
    Hadn't noticed that! Intentionally or not, that's pretty nice. When I ordered the second, I assumed he might, but I also sent a separate email to request it just in case. One of the reasons I wish it had been just slightly longer, to give some time to show the broader after-effects of what happened. Which is why I prefer to think of her as the re-christened Yorktown. Another Connie being retired, but just renamed and kept in service to honor and reward the crew of the 1701. I imagine her as being finally retired after Kirk and crew did. He's not dead, he's battling evil in another dimension! Let's face it, Shaw came across as an adversarial captain. Despite his personal recommendation seen at the end, he was allowing his past trauma to color his working relationship with Seven. He was having a 'redemption' arc though that was sadly cut short, cause I was really starting to like him. Makes more sense than a new build of a forty year old design.
