    Third times the charm! ...or back to the assembly building...

    Keep in mind that this is a compressed time-frame. Events that happened hundreds of years apart in the written work are being brought very close time-wise in this series. And also, it's an adaptation. I'm past the point where I expect stories brought to screen are going to be exact copies. For whatever reason they went for alterations. I'm not saying this is good or bad. Personally, I'm liking this take on Galadrial. My way of thinking is that it is three thousand years between TRoP and LoTR, and the people, even elves, change over time. To be static is boring. If this was the exact same character as Blanchet's, after three thousand years, then I'm thinking, "well, there is no growth at all. She must have sprung this way straight from the womb." So I have no problem seeing a more hot-headed, violence minded Galadrial bent on revenge. I like her. Although, conversely, leaving her static and without growth moving through the series would also be boring, and a mistake. The point is to have the character grow into the one we see in Jackson's LoTR, as part of an overall arc for the character. Right now., she a hot-head, more than likely to grab the sword, esp when thinking like she is the only one standing guard. Done right, there is time, either in this season or later ones, for her to grow into the Galadrial from the movies.

    How is she different in the books?

    It may have been the most that he could get away with. Something better than nothing.

    So, about $187 USD. Can't throw that down ATM, and maybe not until after the 12th.

    What is the new price?

    Nice maps! Just a shame they are in WEBP format. Whatever happened to just using JPEG? So simple. So easy. Not a complaint against you @azrael it's just needing to find a conversion program to see them on my comp after downloading. As to the series, I think that was a great start! Yes, it was a little slow getting started, but it picked up halfway through episode 1. And overall I was really liking the interactions, so being a little slow at times was alright, as long as that part keeps my interest. Really looking forward to episode 3 now!

    I'm really liking this series, but the half hour episodes are killing me! They have all the time in the world, so give me an hour!

    @electric indigo That little guy looks good in there! @pengbuzz Real good looking work on the Yamato. I like the deck work and that you made that engine nozzle out of tape is blowin' my mind!
  10. Thom
    Yeah, a few too many for me too. Otherwise a cool looking ship.
  11. Thom
    Then the Amaterasu is your thing!
  12. Thom
    I don't know if I need it. At least it's not a remake!

    Even though it is now on streaming, I still haven't watched it yet. I want to rent it, not 'own' a digital copy for $20 that won't be on my shelf at all. So a few more weeks.

    VF-31D

    Thom replied to Firefox21's topic in Model kits

    Good looking model! I like that you chose the trainer scheme from the VF-1D. There something about that tan/orange combo. Makes this a flashy looking bird. And I'm with you about the kite. Really miss it on the newer machines. I think next time I do a newer VF, it'll be getting some kites too.

    Your warranty has expired.

    Too true,. Better scrubbed on the ground than scrubbed in the air.
  17. Thom
    C'mon, get those first steps going right!

    VF ID Valkyrie

    Thom replied to Quetzali's topic in Model kits

    The modelling bug has bitten, and the infection runs deep!😀
  19. Thom
    I think it's just a fan design, and there have been a lot of those over the decades!🙃
  20. Thom
    Great Yamato style? It'll need a few more turrets!
  21. Thom
    Very nice @derex3592!
  22. Thom
    Ver cool looking @pengbuzz! Those little flares either side of the stern make a big difference.
  23. Thom
    Nicely done.
  24. Thom
    Just push forward to go up! Worked in ID4. And seconding the absolute awesomeness! Looks like she'll build into one mean bird.
  25. Thom
    Yeah, but then they had that whole scene where she grew to adulthood in a matter of moments. That alone was warning enough that they were taking short-cuts. For this series, I hope they go long and slow and take their time. And make her snout a little longer!
