    LOL!

    It looks really good. I just hope it keeps away from too 'fanciful' situations and just keeps it real.

    I liked that one! Some heavy subject matter and they dealt with it very well. I'd watch a second!

    Looking forward to see this on my next weekend off. Always liked Larson as Captain Marvel and I liked the other two in WandaVision and Ms.Marvel.

    Looks like next weeks viewing is going to be pretty good. The Marvels on Tue and then binging Loki S2 on Wed.

    That's what I think it is too, though I certainly wouldn't mind the OG crew having more than ten minutes.

    Getting my proton pack on! (not really, as I don't have a proton pack in real life, but you understand.) Nice to see the cast from Afterlife in this as well and hopefully with more of a merging with original. And after holding off for so long on doing a sequel, it looks like Murray has had a change of tune.

    @Urashiman Quickly getting closer to perfection! @derex3592 You truly have a really busy table! The black on that SR-71 looks fantastic and I would love to see that Cat's Eye moving forward. Reminds me of mine sitting so forlorn on the Shelf o'Doom...

    cones?

    @Urashiman That VF-1 is looking great. Love the decals. Great to see your collection growing @pengbuzz, and your plans for more! @derex3592 The BONE sure is a sexy plane. There was a proposal in the early aughts to reengine it and turn it into a missile truck, called the B-1R (regional) Or, wait for it... BONER.😜

    Looks like it could be a fun movie.

    I love the math on that!

    I'll take more Bo Katan!

    This one looks to be set about a hundred years after the last one. They have to get through 2000 more years before the Icarus shows back up.

    It was called Blue Thunder.😜 Seriously though, that would (could) be pretty cool.

    This does look like it will be a lot of fun.

    Have you thought about getting a 1/12 scale generic female figure and using that as a base for the kit parts? You'd definitely have to cut up the kit to separate the mech portions, but it could give it some more realistic proportions and make it posable.

    There were other beings in the room too who saw Han being carbfroze. All they have to do is tell a few tales to the right people and then everyone would be using it. Heck, even Vader could have taken ownership of the idea and profited off of it.

    Some great improvements on that cockpit, @Urashiman. @wm cheng Those figs do look good, and can't wait to see the VT-1 taking shape. As for superglue (CA) as filler, I've used it successfully to erase panel lines and even redo the entire wing join on a Do335. I messed up when adding it and had a really bad seam. This is after CA, sanding smooth and then scribing a new seam line. For my SM.79, I encountered a problem. The back half of the hump on the back, can be opened to allow the gunner to move about and return fire. However, this kit only has it modelled open, and the parts suit that. The two pieces still on the sprue are for the very rear of the hump, and can be added closed up or folded out BUT, there is no piece for the middle section that folds forward and inside. Or I should say it does have that piece, but not another piece to model that areas closed, which leaves a big gap. And since (before realizing that) I had decided to make the plane all closed up, I left out a lot of the interior detail inn the middle fuselage. So leaving it open is not an option. There is only one other kit of the Sparviero in 1/72 and that's the old Airfix kit. It's a lot more simple on detail compared to the Italeri kit, but it actually has open/closed options for the upper hump. However, I do not have that kit and I don't feel like spending $20 minimum for a kit that I'd only use one part from. I do though, have a lot of stryene strip! I cut that part off of the model to work on it and started laying down the styrene. I'll let that dry, 'painting' CA onto the inside for strength, and then again on the outside before I sand it all smooth and then add the panel lines and such. Thom

    Could you contact Max Factory and see about procuring a sheet direct? Or there are aftermarket decals available for the Hasegawa model.
  22. Thom
    @wm cheng No, that's the decals from the kit.I had to cut them up some in order to use them on the D-version control panel, seeing as the decals are for the A-version Puking Dogs scheme. But no PE or 3D set was used. They bedded down wonderfully. As for the seats, I was going forward with the kit ones before decided to change them and, at the time, I was doing this in a GB so there was a time constraint and I didn't want to wait for resin seat so show up. So I took a set from a Revell FA-18F and started to combine them with the kit seats. And then I ran out of time and ended up putting the kit aside anyway. As to the quality of the kit, I have no experience with the other manufacturers, but found the Academy kit to go together very well. I'd rather buy another one of these (and have) because it has a good amount of detail without being overly gimmicky and it is a little cheaper. Or was, at least when I bought it last.😁

    @derex3592 Academy does a really nice F-14. I haven't finished mine, but its a good kit so far. I 'splurged' and got some resin intakes though, rather than deal with the seams in there. And the seat, on the Puking Dogs boxing, needed some work. Before I get back to it, I may get some resin seats to replace those. Current build though, and the internals are painted and loaded up. There may be some seam work to take care of... But that'll be after the upper panels are added and the glue has set. Thom

    Even Top Dogs can be hounded by fools and wannabes. When someone has a 'reputation' there will be others gunning to take it for themselves. And even if a Mandalorian is on their own, others may take that as being alone and vulnerable and thinking there's an opportunity.

    I'm not talking about karma though. If there was any karma, he would be the Star Wars version of Jacob Marley for a thousand years. (And who was once played by Alec Guinness.) Obviously though, it would not mean that one was stuck on that path.
