    Thank you @derex3592! Good luck with the paints, hope they are good. Thank you @electric indigo! From here those crew look good! A little more update on the Lancaster Nose. I made some detail for behind the seat, clipping and moving some piping from a discarded section and making some hoses from lead wire, electrical wire, styrene rod and slices of metal pipe. Otherwise that area behind the pilot's seat would be pretty bare. I'll also be moving a fire extinguisher from the nose to here and making another to replace it up front. And I moved this panel from being mounted right beside the seat to the side. I had to cut and adjust it, as following the instructions would have it sitting far too high above the sill. Don't know if that was me or the kit, seeing how the pilot's platform it was supposed to be mounted on hasn't changed height. Oh well, I like it better attached there rather than worrying about trying to get it to sit right between the sill and the seat. Now I just need to get the control yoke ready and I can start painting! Thom

    That is the risk. When it's the pilots/owners of the planes choosing the take the risk, that's perfectly fine even with a bad outcome. It's when it impacts someone's home that it gets a lot diecier. Still, the thought of any of these old war birds being grounded is like seeing the last Vulcan allowed to do only taxi runs...

    He may think it's all magic and faeries.😉 And thankfully no one was hurt on the ground. The wreckage however did stop just short of an apartment complex.

    Thanks, checking that now!

    Necro post!!!!! Does anyone know where one could buy the DVD of 2202 without going over a hundred bucks!?

    Well, I haven;t posted a workbench pic in too long of a while. So here's what's currently sitting center of the mat. HK Models Lancaster Nose kit in 1/32. A pretty good kit, if I must say. Could be better, as I think Border models has better detail in their Lancaster. Plus this one is basically just the nose of the HK kit and interior dumped into its own box, which has some draw backs. I had to close up the wing roots and hack off the rearmost part of the interior, as it was hanging out the back, and I ended up wiring and piping a lot of the interior, not exact but it looks nice and busy. I have some PE to go in after paint, which paint should be soon as I think I am mostly done with the interior stuff. So, pics! I really hope most of that added detail survives paint and masking!🤣

    Could always wait for the entire season to run, pay for one month and watch it in a few days before then cancelling.

    I'm hoping this ties in in some way to Kong: Skull Island, but even if not, I'm up for it!

    The older kits can be made into nice looking examples, if you don't mind some shape issues esp with the nose on the older Bandai kits. There are after market decals out there is you want newer of those, or there is a thread somewhere here with scanned decals sheets that you can (with decal paper and printer) print yourself.

    Just saw this today. Very good and exciting movie, IMO. I'd be up for a sequel.

    A couple days old, but a Mig crashed at the Thunder Over Michigan air show. Both crew out with injuries but recovering, and no injuries on the ground, thankfully.

    @electric indigo It looks like you got the Resin Guillotine out for this one!

    Having never watched Prom and Cov (basically because nothing past Aliens really exists...) apparently there was a whole dialogue scene with the Engineer at the end of Prom that explained pretty much everything - and it was cut. Probably because a scene like Theron trying to outrun a massive rolling donut was more important than the story line, I guess...

    Sequest DSV had a really good first season. That's when all the promise of hope was there for a good sci fi drama, before they decided that tank tops were in for most of the women on the cast, they needed a teen hearthrob on the show (which did not end well for that poor kid...) and they wanted to copy every single sci fi gimmick there ever was, rather than just sticking with what worked. Not surprised Scheider wanted out after all that. Too bad they had to wait for this guy to retire rather then being able to side-line or force him out. But as Straczynski stated, 'the speed bumps they've gone over are the speed bumps they've gone over.' For the most part, I liked Babylon 5. Sure it got super hokey at times, but it was a good story an well worth a renaissance.

    @Urashiman And not just any kit, the Zero! That is a very promising start!

    That cat is going to have a drinking problem!

    That is such an awesome job!

    I miss the good old days when all this stuff was just on TV...

    If they want to play that game, so can we. Cancel your subscription, wait for the entire season to be out, reup for one month and binge the whole thing. Cancel et al.

    Man that is a beautiful job!

    The color modulations and weathering are outstanding! Wow.

    I hope that means there is a release date coming soon.

    Despite what is said 'back stage' it would be easy to say that maybe it wasn't her voice at all. For the whole voice thing at the end of RoS, they should have left it with just Annikan, Obi-wan, Quigon and others rather than all the rest as well. Just another poor decision...
