He's looking real good @pengbuzz!

Starting a new project, Italeri's 1/72 SM79 Sparviero. I won't be opening it up and just going to detail the cockpit a bit, just in case I can see anything through the glazing. To that end, I'm using some Eduard PE, such as for the IP. The instructions call for light green on the interior, but I think it should be light gray, but that'll be easy to fix as it is the only painted at the moment. Thom

The Mandalorian - Star Wars webseries from Jon Favreau
Thom replied to SMS007's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I don't know, in my case I also had no knowledge of the Mandalorians and I thought the show, esp the second season, helped flesh it out for me. The stories can meander a bit though which takes the eye off the main plot. Still well worth the ride though. -
LOL!! That's what I ger for typing too fast and not spell-checking! Corrected!

Was Ewen McGregor too young to BE (TO BE) Obi-wan, or was Alec Guinness too old?

Very nice and clean build, @electric indigo! Definitely more of a 'real' look than model look.

Vader learned his lesson after the lava bath.

It's the stomach acid treatment. Not for everyone.

Picked this lil gem up from Etsy. At 3 inches long, it's about 1/4000 and was $20 with shipping.

Little known fact. If you tune the Death Star laser down to its lowest power setting, and I mean low, it is ideal for a 5 minute laser wrinkle treatment.

@tekering I have to say, I don't think this is bad enough for a major cut. Certainly not Obiwan or BoBF bad. @SwannI think she does. But maybe her species can look younger than they are, like space elves. As for the statues, they could still play a role later on even without Ray Stevenson. RIP. A scroll could mention him suddenly vanishing while in search of The Ones,a nd perhaps the character will be 'shown' from then on only as a Force-Ghost voice.

Nope, not that. Now I have no idea what it was!

Now I'm wondering if I'm thinking of the right show... It was flat with a central cargo section that could be jettisoned, but it's been so long ago I may be misremembering. Maybe something from Bionic Six..? Anyway, I've often thought of kitbashing an X-Wing into the Interceptor.

@Chronocidal A very nice 'card model!' Shapes may not be 'right' but it certainly has the Firefox family feel. Maybe that was a prototype, called the Firekit. I also built some cardboard models as a kid, most notably an attempt at one of the hero ships from Galaxy Rangers, and an F-86 Scorpion made from cardboard and skinned in black electrical tape. It's been more than thirty years, so it is long gone but I recall it had a wingspan of about two feet and was able to fly across the street with a good throw! Unfortunately, it was left out on the porch overnight when it rained and the damp softened the cardboard and drooped it. Good memories though.

@pengbuzz Real cool bit of artwork! And if I was in any way a contributor, then that's awesome!
-
Thanks @pengbuzz! And yeah, those little plaques are quick and easy. I like the artwork you put on the base. Self made?
-
And Asuka is DUN!! (well, except for her air wing...) So she is done and I just need to paint the stand and do a small air wing, consisting of some planes from this kit as well as the Yamato kit. Thom

@electric indigo or submersible fighter!
-
A few years down the line, but good to hear the gears are still turning.
-
@Urashiman Unknowingly thinking ahead!
-
That's inspired work @pengbuzz! What's its name?
-
'Kid's' film...!? I have been enjoying this movie for thirty years and it is the Halloween/Christmas crossover film! But oh damn... THIRTY years!!!
-
Wow, @pengbuzz that looks like a shipkiller!
-
May give this a watch!

Thanks @pengbuzz. The best flaws are the ones that are easy to miss!😁
