We all have kits on the Suspend Shelf @pengbuzz. It's a good looking model and just needs to wait a bit before it gets put back into fine fashion. Til then, we shall anxiously await your return!😁

Just finished the first season of Blood and Treasure, and it was surprisingly good. Way better than National Treasure (the series). More than enough action, fun and interesting characters, with some nice nods to other movies tossed in here and there. Gonna start season two now.
-
Saw this, and liked it a lot! Much better than Wandering Earth or Warriors of Future (which I did not finish). And the trailer was misleading, at least for me... It's very character driven and emotional. If there was one thing I'd change about the ending... Just a small quibble, though.
-
Good point, good point! 😀 That's a idea for a few more poses though, the knife 'fencing' on their first date.
-
Though my first pick would be Number 5, because of the baby, my choice would be Number 2. She has her helmet on and it looks to be a more 'action' oriented pose, i.e. gripping the controls.

@derex3592 The shading and the decals were very well together.

Ares is really Skynet.

@pengbuzz Keep an eye out for that plane! But if it doesn't turn up, what is the possibility of moving one of the parked birds to the launcher?
-
@wm cheng Those planes look great, esp that F-4!

Just got to give it a few years - especially when the most recent roles were guest spots or Hallmark movies. In fact, with how good de-aging software is, I wouldn't mind them using Boxleiter's de-aged face on a stunt-man's body with Bruce doing the voice. Have Tron in his prime!

Very nice!

Movie physics differ greatly from real physics. If he had won through to the real world, I'm sure they would have made is tech work.😉 I do hope we gets some kits. I would have loved to have some of the flyers from Legaxy as a kit.
-
If it's going to spoil the fun for me, I don't think I need to see it.
-
Drama-wise, I thought it was pretty good. Plane-porn, of course! I thought it was good - all except for the Star Wars trench run!😜

No. Kozinsky was going to do a sequel but it never got green lit. This one is going to be by Joachim Rønning. He's done Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales and currently finished Young Woman and the Sea with Daisy Ridley. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1461392/

Looks like a third in the series may be a go with Jared Leto. I hope it will be a direct sequel to the 2010 movie, but my hopes ain't up... https://deadline.com/2023/01/tron-ares-joachim-ronning-helm-jared-leto-disney-sci-fi-sequel-1235227464/

The 'Hey look at this really cool model build I saw' post
Thom replied to Shawn's topic in Model kits
Alright, that proves that Megaroad 01 is still out there, and still receiving all the latest idol signage! That looks fantastic! -
It'll be the Pegasus. A lot different from canon, though! In my own head, these ships are set more in the TOS universe, so it is active wartime. This Pegasus was an attempt to increase the fighter strength of a battestar, and it worked well, but it ended up being a one-off, as a streamline in the concept is seen in the follow-up Galactica. Rather than using four flight pods (expensive in material and time in wartime) they instead went with two large pods above and under. The original Mercuries had a smaller underside flight deck, and they doubled up on the launch decks in between them. I don't have a good shot in this pic, but simply doubled up the launch deck pieces from two kits. Pegasus' four flight pods doubled her fighter strength, from 200 to 400. The more conservative version on the Galactica did not have the storage/maintenance space for the fully increased compliment, however, so Galactic only increased her number of Vipers from 200 to 325. It was seen as an acceptable compromise. Also of note, Commander Helena Cain is not the psycho bee-otch of the newer series, but very much in line with the original series Cain. @Urashiman I'm going to try and reuse as much of the original deck as possible, but I think I'm going to have to make two new pieces to go under the HEW turrets.
-
@Urashiman Agreed on the canopy recovery. Done good! @Rock Liking the look of that scheme. As for me, I think I've decided on the placement for the missile arrays on the head, as well as the HEW turrets. I'll be filling in the empty spaces with new panels and greeblies.
-
It actually looks like an 'experimental' color, if there is such a thing. Maybe that's the color of some protective coating, before the main scheme is applied?
-
I think it could go either way. There was that moment...
-
Good point! Here's hoping
-
@Bolt Really liking the color choice on that Lancer!
-
@derex3592 That reasoning sounds good and sound to me!😜You really can't have one without the other anyway. @pengbuzz Until you get to that 1/1000 dio version, that carrier is looking better and better. And yes, people!😁 @SpacePirateNeko Oh, I love the VF-0! If I had my way, it would have been the preferred design for the VF-1. In fact, I have thought from time to time to doing a VF-0 with the Fokker or Hikaru's bird with the VF-1 scheme. And a Venator. Awesome!
